Not really. Kylo tries to strike him down which is essentially the same thing. It’s the “in anger” part that’s significant, not the striking down. Luke already knew he was a goner from the moment he projected himself, but Kylo failed the test and will now (most likely) be haunted by one of the creepiest voice…

But you also realize the majority of people who saw this film (and the last) disagree with you, right? Not that numbers should sway your personal opinion, but when I am disappointed by something that larger swaths of people love, my first instinct is to always assume that I’m missing something.

I just flat out don’t agree that it doesn’t fit with TFA. What I think you mean is that it doesn’t treat the smaller, speculative aspects of TFA that certain fans spent 2 years obsessing over as important. In terms of characters and overall themes, though, this movie tracks perfectly. In fact, it retroactively…

The Porgs are on screen for a total of less than a minute of the movie.

....betrayal? Really?

Because it’s a movie and it led to one hell of a sequence.

I disagree with the person above us but I also disagree with your interpretation of TLJ. It seems like you just plain missed pretty much everything that the film was offering you. It’s not a plot movie (although you seem to have missed some obvious stuff there, too) it’s much more of a film about…

I think there are way more than 12 people here who are A:tLA fans. I actually think there’s a TON of similarities between this new sequel trilogy and the Avatar franchise.

This might be the single saddest comment I have ever read. do you know how we all know you’re lying? Because you’re bragging about it on an online Star Wars forum. And also you used a hypothetical foursome as an intellectual argument for....some reason.

Agree 100%

So essentially you’ve been paying for everything all night so now I have to sleep with you? Fuck off.

That is certainly valid as far as opinions go, but it’s also a fairly inaccurate reading of the film. If you think Rey and Ren have only moved two steps or ended up in the same place they started then I think you need a second, more thematic viewing. The people (like myself) who loved this film literally BECAUSE of…

I disagree. Aside from a good deal of forced humor, I think every single storytelling decision made was the right one.

Where is the foundation for this assertion that only millenials liked this film or the assertion that the only thing to like about it is “subversion?” Your whole comment reeks of derision and hyperbole. I’ve seen the movie four times in different theaters and audience reactions ranged from stunned silence to…

The only “fuck you’s” in the movie were pointed towards prequel and EU-nonsense being treated as gospel and the types of people who obsesses over he least interesting aspects of TFA. I’m a massive fan of Star Wars and this is the first film I felt had no “fuck you’s” or pandering insults to my intelligence. Not sure…

When you use words like “anticipation” and “anti-climactic” you’re prioritizing fans and expectations over actual storytelling. What they did with Luke was 1,000,000x more narratively compelling than what anybody was “anticipating.”

I just have to step in here, though. If being Force-Sensitive is only about sensing things and you need training to be able to move things telekinetically, then how did Luke pull the lightsaber to himself in Empire?

1). They clearly establish that the bombers had artificial gravity inside of them. Which means once they drop them, the bombs DO fall. When they exit the ship, they’re in zero gravity which means the bombs will keep moving in the direction they were going and at the same rate. So yes, in space bombs DO fall.

Hey, to each their own. If nothing else, he’s a fascinatingly accurate and self-fulfilling meta mirror being held up to the Star Wars fandom. A trap that many of them are falling into admirably I might add.

Only standard SW-level plot holes though. The kind that one has to be prepared to look past if one wants to enjoy ANY film in this franchise.
