As for Donald Glover, I guess that's a view of our society today. Billy Dee Williams was a smooth suave ladies man. Donald Glover looks like he wears flannel pajamas while he sips on his soy milk Chai tea latte.

Donald Glover is probably going to be the best part of his movie. He’s a great actor.

I personally don’t care that much about who Rey’s parents were but there was an entire scene where she asks that dark-side cave to tell her who her parents are and it shows her reflection.

So, unless that didn’t have a secret meaning, why would the cave show her reflection to her?



Also, this is Star Wars. It’s set in a galaxy far, far away...


...where billions upon billions of people are Skywalkers. You see, the original Skywalker man was a pimp and fricked half the galaxy so everybody is related to everyone.

I feel it’s a bit of poetic justice that someone fricked up JJ’s beloved Star Wars the way he fricked up my beloved Star Trek.


...except I also love Star Wars so I get double-fricked.

If you file divorce papers then as far as the government is concerned you are divorced. I’m a divorced Catholic. Catholics have Shorty marriages just like any other religion

I have to know:

Like imagine if TFA actually ended where Luke tosses the lightsaber aside?

If you ask me, this is the single most insulting thing to happen in The Last Jedi and I felt it was directed to me as a fan.

To me Johnson had Luke Skywalker take this object that fans of the films hold as almost a sacred object and toss it over his should as if to say “frick your reverence” for this stuff.


He had a hero of my childhood toss it aside. NOT tell Rey to keep it and leave. NOT to have Luke destroy it himself.

He tossed that saber aside and it felt like Luke kind of tossed my reverence for him and the OT aside.

But a good example of Johnson using preconceived notions and established Star Wars scenarios from the OT for cheap twists instead of setting up his own genuine surprises. It’s like he thought it would be surprising because the character hasn’t gotten any screen time, which is the reason you shouldn’t do it but at the same time copies the Vader saving Luke from the emperor

What killing Snoke did for me was establish in my mind that Kylo Ren is way more ambitious than Darth Vader. Vader was a pupil. Snoke made fun of Kylo’s childish mask and Kylo fricked the old man over and took charge.

Ambitions mother F’er. Which is why I was so confused that he lied to Hux about who killed Snoke. He sounded like a kid trying to hide something bad he did from his parents. He’s running from consequences in one moment and then sport-force-choking Hux as a hobbie the next minute.

That’s bad writing imo.

Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly flaws with this movie, but the ones I see most on here (snoke only one example) and elsewhere online are undeserved

---

Not knowing where Snoke came from is a nothing-burger to me.

I have a feeling Kylo was lying about Rey’s parents. He’ll, Obi Wan lies about parentage in the OT. frick me if I’ll trust the dude that killed Han Solo.

My gripe is plot points and characterizations. That feel out of place. It’s an alright movie. That’s it. Alright

But with Snoke.... where is he during the OT? This guy seems powerful, ancient, and important. There needs to be some explanation for how he came to power.

---

Trust me, if Return of the Jedi had been made in this day and age of expanded universes and cinematic universes then this board would be ask, NAY!...They would be DEMANDING to know who Emperor Palpatine was. Where did he come from? What’s his home life like? Does he rent or own?


Audiences today demand too much. I’ve never cared what Snoke did or who he was to get to where he is now. Why? Because it doesn’t matter in the slightest in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars is for children. All you needed to know in 82 was that the hooded guy that appears on screen for the first time 40 minutes into the final movie of a trilogy is the personification of evil. That’s it. I don’t need to know how he ticks. I don’t need his story.

Snoke was a side character. And I’m not trying to be derogatory here, but I’ve never given less fricks about the back story of a MINOR character in a movie. And there is no debate, Snoke is a minor character through the first 2 films.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't the best Star Wars movie by any means. But I was expecting Baby Geniuses in Space from reading this board

Exactly my thoughts. Although I rank this the lowest of the 3 new films so far. Let’s hope it doesn’t get much worse.
