The prequels getting enthusiastic exit scores is an indication that exit scores are not a metric that is useful for much more than demonstrating the sunk cost fallacy.

Luke's defining character trait in the OT, and the thing that makes him more powerful than Vader or the Emperor, is his faith in the humanity of his father. The Jedi poo poo is great and all, but what actually brings down the Empire is his rejection of the idea that Vader was beyond hope. I don't like TLJ because it tosses out that defining characteristic, which for me was also the defining moral of the OT, and it's not clear to me that it did it for any particularly important reason. I don't care if that's childish or not, it's one of the big things I liked about SW.

Preston Waters posted:He's not the focus of the story. Sorry you can't deal with this and have to act like a tool though. As many people have pointed out, his pivotal role in Kylo Ren's character arc begs for further explanation. It's fine if you like that he's barely even a character, but telling anyone who disliked the film to grow up while simultaneously praising the lack of character development is ironic.

But sure, whatever, guess he's goodboy now He killed Han but he feels bad about it now so it's all good guys.

doomrider7 posted:I love R2D2 a lot too, hence why he was my pick. Him, C3PO, Chewbacca, and the Falcon would be the biggest and only gut punches in deaths for me. Nothing can phase me because nothing past the OT counts. I hope everyone gets cut in half and falls down an endless pit and then shows up in later scenes perfectly fine with no explanation at all.

The version that uses Hayden's ghost makes no sense because it's just some random dude we've never seen before instead of the guy we watched die on screen like five minutes earlier.

Polo-Rican posted:imho it's Rise of the Skywalker that's squandering Kylo, not TLJ. In TFA he's a sad loser fanboy, and in TLJ he drops the imitation (smashing his mask) and comes into his own as a strong force to be reckoned with. He could be a cool-rear end character in Skywalker if they committed to him being the primary antagonist, but instead it looks like he devolves again into a Vader-like pawn of a Sith figure. I'm not sure sequels openly trashing the backstories they're based on is as laudable as you seem to be making it here

teagone posted:I personally don't want to settle for a baseline quality that amounts to "just ok" with Star Wars. Keep that for the MCU, and I hope Disney keeps Feige on the MCU. What I'd like to see is Disney giving Dave Filoni creative control over Lucasfilm movie ventures. That's the best case scenario imo, not deploying the MCU formula to Star Wars.. The baseline of quality that the current arrangement is giving us is incoherent garbage though. At least with the MCU approach we could expect relatively coherent garbage.

At the end of the movie, Rey hands force ghost Luke the film reel that contains the answers to all the unresolved plot lines (which is all of them) and he shrugs and tosses it over his shoulder. Roll credits.

Moose King posted:Off the top of my head, the verified leaks have the dagger having directions to Sheev. In order to read the map on the dagger they have to install DaggerDecoder.exe on 3PO but he doesn't have enough hard drive space so they delete his memories to make room, luckily R2 has a backup 3PO's-Memories.txt stored from a couple years ago so it's fine. After they go to the desert bazaar planet for that, Kylo and the jetpack catapult bike stormtroopers attack and at some point Chewie gets nabbed and put on a shuttle. Rey accidentally Force Lightnings the shuttle and blows it up, everyone thinks Chewie is dead but then it turns out he was on a different shuttle and is perfectly fine. Everyone goes to Sheev's iceberg thing where he's got a million old Star Destroyers with Death Star superlasers, there's a big space battle while Sheev shoots a ton of lightning into space and blows a bunch of stuff up. Force Ghost Han shows up at one point and talks to Kylo, but then Kylo gets yeeted into a pit and never shows up again. The ghosts of Luke and Leia kill Sheev's soul or something so he can't come back again. Movie ends with Rey visiting the old Lars farm on Tatooine (probably during a binary sunset) and someone asks who she is and she says her name is Rey Skywalker, credits roll. Holy poo poo lol

Dr Christmas posted:So the editing was absolutely manic and sucked. Ping-ponging constantly between shots, characters, conversations, and planets. Each character having the same exposition delivered to them back-to-back. The desert chase going from plain to cramped pass with no transition or view of the upcoming terrain change TWICE followed, the jet pack troopers appearing and disappearing, then whew we’re okay on no we’re in quicksand whoop okay again uh oh skeleton AAH SNAKE. I don’t think we lingered on a single subject for more than three seconds until maybe the big desert festival dance. It wasn't just the editing, the plot itself followed this same scheme. It was an onslaught of "That's impossible! - convenient solution - That's impossible! - convenient solution..." at an almost parody-like pace. The movie also suffered from ridiculous character bloat, but that's mostly the fault of the entire trilogy. Even my 7 year old kid made a comment afterwards about how there were so many characters that we didn't get to learn much about.

Onmi posted:I dislike the entire idea of this trilogy that Luke went to go found an order exactly as bad as the one founded in the Old Republic. He has no knowledge of that era and their rules, no reason to think them necessary. What happened to all the other Jedi Likes who survived the war? It's just so... weird. The only good part of this trilogy were the actors. Which makes it even worse because you imagine what a competent production team could have done with that cast over the course of 3 movies.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:I'm of the impression that JJ is addicted to making Trailer Moments. Shots like Rey facing down BenRen in the desert, lightsaber vs fighter - a cool shot in isolation, but the movie is blatantly distorted so that he can fit that sequence into it. Not only does Rey run down to the desert for pretty much no reason, but then Kylo gets in an incredibly bad accident which is completely ignored so that they can move on to the next plot beat, which is *another* cool dramatic moment that is then made utterly pointless to conform to the actual plot. I actually enjoyed the trailer, it was pretty great even though you could tell the movie was gonna be poo poo. The emotional moments of the film hit much more effectively in trailer form too, like that C3PO friends bit which in the movie just felt like wtf you barely even know these kids.

mycot posted:The Reylos are ultimately right because Kylo Ren's and Rey's endings suck and don't actually resolve anything (other than who Rey's parents were in the most literal sense I guess??) Wait did they actually tell us who her parents were? We know she's palpatine's granddaughter but I thought her parents were just vaguely handwaved away, like oh and then palpatine had his grandkid kidnapped and his adult child murdered for some reason blah blah look over there!
