I thought Harrison Ford was done with Star Wars after Empire?

Yeah, I a thousand percent remember that quote from ages ago (so like from right after Rise of Skywalker in 2019 or January) now that you mention it.

I have also been ripped off by watching Rise of Skywalker for free.

I broke down into loud laughter in a theater around the time the film opened during the scene where the decide to just randomly do the lion with a needle in its paw plot point in order to establish Rey's new magic power.

RotS is the last movie I saw in theaters, a fitting end to going out in public to be entertained.

Also, to add to the Snoke discourse. I love TLJ but I think a minor flaw (and yes, it is minor) is that they don't fill out Snoke's backstory before killing him. Yes, the Emperor also didn't have that level of background originally, but, Star Wars is a different now, and TLJ is a sequel to 6 films that did explain all of that. It wouldn't need much, just a few lines to flesh out who he is instead of farming it out to the EU. But the decision to kill him was a good one, because Ren is the far more interesting character.

I feel like any way you could fill in a backstory for Snoke, without taking away from his shallowness which adds to his status as a crumbling facade before getting murdered as part of Kylo Ren taking control as the main villain would be strange. Within the events of the film, having this information being provided at I guess the Casino Planet would be a way to weave it into the overall lines of information without muddying up any of the other stories (have Snoke explained by Luke or Kyle Ren to Rey would add more gravitas to Kylo's act as "rebellion" rather than the new hotness punting away the literally old and busted imo). And people love to talk about the pacing of TLJ as it is.

So, like how do you think the very pushy lady would have reacted to Rey dropping the name of the galactic dictator who came back from the dead (in fortnite) when pressed for a surname.

You think Rey had it bad? Her dad was so poor he never even got bought a first name. Or he sold it for drinking money. At least Rey can get through imperial checkpoints now that she's got two names!

His name is Triclops Palpatine, wikipedia
