My expectations were rock bottom going in but Holy poo poo

"Who are you and what's your last name?" asks the old lady who apparently passes by this abandoned burnt out homestead every so often to see if someone moved in.

But good job looking and sounding like a star wars I guess. No mistaking it for some other film.

It's actually more stupid in reality than that: the FO came about because the Imperial remnants were given a "Final Order" by Palpatine when he died to retreat into the unknown regions and begin the First Order.

Yeah hang on, didn't he already try this final order bullshit already with the robots with his face on, and nobody thought the same thing was going on this time? Should have called it the final, final order, last time, pinky swear I promise

These wars among the stars are getting tiresome.

If he was then why the gently caress would he feel like it's super urgent for him to get that in the open before he dies? And then change the topic after they lived? Nah, he wanted to confess his love for her.

"Just before we die, I really need to tell you I think I can feel the force!"
"OK cool? We're still about to die but thanks for the heads up."

gently caress it, should have just made Finn/Poe/Rey a thing, go wild.

Thing that always bothered me about the Clone Wars is why you call them that when only your side is using them, seems like it would be more appropriate if both sides were locked in an escalating arms race with clones.

Who is the better villain:

Emperor Palpatine

Macavity the Mystery Cat

Macavity is said to have broken every human law, pretty impressive since cats wouldn't be legally beholden to a lot of them, and he's never been caught.

Don't know if sheev was thorough in his misdeeds, but they caught up with him in the end.

Guilty posted:

I completely forgot why the dagger was important after she finds the wayfinder. I know it was important to find it, but was it important for something else?

They hadn't found the wayfinder when she thought it was important, after she did the Goonies bit looking at the Death Star wreckage through it the dagger disappears from the movie

I don't think the movie would've been improved by Finn and Rose having some kids in tow for the entire third act. The easier fix is just cutting Rose's emphatically counter-factual line that they've done something meaningful.

Still not sure why so many people think it's a good idea to bring children into an active warzone and onto an enemy vessel

Unless they were going to drop them off somewhere along the way

Rey’s desire to know who her parents were, and in turn who she was, was so great that she never got around to asking Unkar Plut what their names were.

In the Legends continuity, it was a piece of repurposed mining equipment, but the Disney canon changed it into an Imperial torture device that they brought with them.

I don't think the empire could call itself a proper despotic regime if they couldn't set up some equipment for a bit of on-site torture on short notice

There should have been a caste of enlightened Jedi, totally spaced out, hanging out in a glowing chamber in every scene taking place in the Temple in the PT. They are never addressed directly in the story but it's clear the regular Jedi are equal parts embarrassed and annoyed by them.
