That was absolutely his function in TLJ too

Yeah but both TFA and TLJ played up the idea that he and Ren would come to blows at a point that would lead to disaster. But instead he gets Poochied.

Maz just standing there next to Leia’s shrouded corpse before she ghosted, like she was gonna yoink some jewelry off of her dead hands when nobody was looking.

Edit: Christ, she DID steal something from Leia. The Yavin medal!

it would explain the persistent 'matt smith is young palpatine' rumor and his cast listing and so on. they just replaced him with mcdiarmid.

I thought it was enjoyable. Went in with basement expectations, pleasantly enjoyed it.

But God drat are there pacing issues. Almost none of the desert planet scene was necessary. I'm going to blame the writer more than JJ. This definitely felt like it was written by the guy who wrote Batman v Superman and Justice League.

A friend of mine who is a huge Star Wars fan but is not terminally online asked me if I knew any spoilers so I told her the basic plot and she just yelled "NO" over and over for like five minutes.

No no you see it wasn't a very well done nod to the entire theme of the movie of being shaped by the past but not shackled by it, and a relic from a past Luke no longer wanted nor needed. No, it was a deep seeded plot device so we could have ghost Luke pull up an xwing as a display of power after we've seen Sheev summon a fleet of star destroyers.

I know it was an excuse to get xwing pilot Rey.

To be fair, I sort of like that JJ used a lot of details from TLJ, including this one.

Congrats to RoS for entering the "characters with raised hands trying to magick harder than another character" genre populated by notable films like, um Dark Phoenix.

Also, coward poo poo with Chewbacca and C3PO. There can be no tragic mistakes or impossible choices by good characters.

My favorite disaster of this movie is how there are literally no consequences for any of the good guys. Chewie is dead, wait no. Threepio’s memory is wiped, wait no. Ben Solo gets got by Rey, wait no. Rey dies defeating palpatine, wait no.
