Episode 9 will end with Finn telling every stormtrooper to overthrow the leaders of the First Order and seize control with slogans such as, "If they don't wear a helmet, send them to Hell, mate!" chanted at gatherings and on porgaganda posters.

A John Williams arranged cover of Martha and the Vandellas "Nowhere to Run" plays as Officers and politicians are getting gunned down by their former foot soldiers.

Rey's baby is actually Kylo's through their astral force loving but it travels through time and lands in Shmi. That's how Rey is related to the Skywalkers and Kylo is his own (great) grandpa.

i thought coruscant was one of the planets destroyed by that big alien ship that sings whale songs

like a bunch of nazis were on that ship and then it shot a bunch of big lasers and one of the planets blown up by those lasers was for sure coruscant and then they had to go back in time to save the whales to prevent that from happening, but they couldn't because star wars has no time travel that would be loving dumb (even if going back in time to save the whales was definitely, unironically the best stars trek movie)

No, it was blown up in the reboot by Dark Vader's son, Kyle Vader.

It does now, in that one cartoon they apparently went back in time and saved a popular character from the other cartoon so they could be in their cartoon as well.

It was green Jedi girl whoa name I've briefly forgotten.. she was the break out character of the series and died at vaders hand just after learning who he really was. It was a much antisipated and talked about moment which was well executed.

But.. they made the death suggestive and off screen, so the dorks didn't get it and argued she was maybe still alive because we didn't see Vader split her from head to toe.

Then Disney thought gently caress it, take the loot, and invented time travel portals. (Which will of course never be mentioned again)

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I just thought of a slight edit that maybe could have fixed a few things in 'The Plan' that doesn't make everyone look like idiots. The plan to sneak into the First Order ship. No Rose on the adventure: Just Finn and Poe. It's top secret job that they get permission from Leia to do. Time is of the essence, they need to move now, etc.

BUT, after they start their mission, Leia is put out of commission in the attack. Poe/Finn have ZERO idea of the plan that Holdo is making, Holdo has zero idea of Leia's plan with Poe/Finn to disable the tracker.

I almost think that would solve some of the problems. You remove the pointless Poe coup, you remove Poe being a (constant) gently caress up, you have Holdo making her choices for the fleet based on the limited intel she has.

you understand that originally the plan was that finn and poe go off and do things, but rian johnson claimed he added rose late in production because, in his opinion, finn and poe were the same character

rose, holdo, the mutiny -- that was all a late addition to the script.

but if you did it like that we would not learn a valuable lesson about toxic masculinity. at that point why not just rewrite the whole script to be a good movie?

Honestly the whole dumb Holdo plot would've worked if you deleted Holdo and gave her role to Leia. Instead of stupid Mary Poppins poo poo Leia gets an epic-as-gently caress sendoff and there's no complaining about how hyperspace ramming hasn't been done before because you can just wave it off with "you need the force or you'll miss" or something. Also because of the gravitas Leia has with the audience her butting heads with Poe reads as intended.

Honestly, it's something you might expect from a military genius that has no other alternative. Also since he's a character that most people know (and like) it would have been a more meaningful sacrifice.

I actually wasn't aware of that, but now that you say it, it maybe that's why it seems like it makes sense. Poe and Finn going to Casino World might have been a bit better as they seemed to have a bit of a Han/Luke relationship thing going on. Poe is the more experienced guy who has a bit of a cool attitude about the place, Finn being sort of awestruck by it. You could have given each a bit more to do there.

Instead we get Rose and Finn, who both seem like they are both too 'lost' in the setting to do anything but go through the motions.

Even with the Holdo, Rose and Mutiny, there's ways to keep them in that scenario, though: Holdo mutiny happens because she's operating the with her secret plan in such a paranoid way that the surviving crew paranoid of her. Rose seems like the way she's written could have been better used if introduced on Canto Bight. The film is trying to paint this picture of the Resistance/Rebels being so inspiring to the average person, and the way her character is portrayed having her fangirling out over Finn and being sort of hateful of Canto Bight, just work her into the story from there and in the same way. Just erase the whole dead bomber sister thing.

You think people went nuts loving Rose 10 months ago? Imagine how nuts they would have gone if the final shot in the movie was Rose going back to her lovely life on Casino World and force grabbing a broom, looking up at the stars, instead of some nameless kid.
