"In the sequel Luke would be a sixty year old Jedi Knight. Han Solo and Leia would be together, although Lucas says, 'They might be married , or not. We have never actually discussed marriage in this galaxy. I don't even know if it exists yet. Who knows what relationship they will have. I mean they're together, let's put it that way.' The sequel focuses mainly on Luke, and Lucas says Mark Hamill will have first crack at the part if he is old enough. "If the first trilogy and social and political and talks about how society evolves," Lucas says, "Star Wars is more about personal growth and self-realization, and the third deal with moral and philosophical problems. In Star Wars, there is a very clear line drawn between good and evil. Eventually you have to face that good and evil aren't that clear-cut and the real issue is trying to understand the difference. The sequel is about Jedi Knighthood, justice, confrontation, and passing on what you have learned."

Good hair, too!
I wanna see this star wars again but I'm broke as heck. I'll just have to visualize
I do not want to google for that I am VERY afraid of what I will find
"Eh, it's a living!"
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
He's a hidden Jedi master, see?
On the Planet Ach-To
Make him angry he'll burn down the tree!

I have a lot of feelings.
There were a firm twenty five minutes of ads and trailers before they started my movie and I was VERY pleased to see the crawl come on.
Rey refers to the clearly sentient caretakers as things. (Also, what are those things instead of who are they?) Is she a space racist?
You want to make me cry? Find a poignant moment and play the Force/Skywalker Theme. Both TFA and TLJ got me hard toward the end
He apparently wants to destroy the past
Like everything, ever
And it feels like a really drawn out tantrum because Luke almost killed him in his sleep based on a vision
And his goal isn't to kill Luke
He would very like to kill Luke, but that isn't his main goal
And his goal isn't power
It's just to destroy the past? With no larger goal of a safer society or a more prosperous empire or anything, really
I know Star Wars is pretty... basic with it's characters and their motivations
And it always has been
The spectacular failure of the prequels to show Anakin's fall and instead showing him as a moody, abusive sociopathic teenager are scaring people off, maybe
But I would love to have an antagonist who had some nuance other than I want to rule everything or I want to destroy everything
I think she says who are those things.
Of course he wants to kill the past--he's constantly dogged by it. To accept redemption is tantamount to admitting failure, to accepting he's nothing more than a shadow of his family that came before him. He doesn't do evil because he was driven to it, he does evil because he's a petty, selfish, and emotional brat. You know, the same reason so many people in real life choose to do evil every day. He's way more complex than previous Star Wars villains by being more human.
If he's dark side then he had to be full dark side.
If he's going to be influenced by the past he's going full Vader
If he's going to kill the past he's going to kill it all
No half measures
If this civil war is a truly huge conflict, and their civilization is truly galactic, Kylo and Hux don't work in that context for me
Their antics mark them as incompetent? I'm searching for the right words
I know Donald Trump is in charge of the USA right now, which is fucking unbelievable, but
I can't quite grasp that Hux and Kylo could behave the way they do and get to where they are
The entire US Government is a testament to how the people running an empire can be petulant little shits and get away with it because they have the connections and the power. In fact a lot of human history is woefully underqualified rich fascist twats fucking shit up for petty reasons and mostly getting away with it
Its like I am trapped in a real-life Reddit thread.
My roommate shared with me that he signed an online petition to have The Last Jedi removed from official canon, and if I could have conjured a locker I would have shoved him into it.
I don't know,
I guess Snoke could have pulled strings to get his tools where he needed them
Man, if he gives a shit about signing an online petition, he's already living life from within a cosmic locker. It's his home now.
Overall real good.
But now I want to buy more Armada ships...
Or like he had something stuck in his teeth
MEANWHILE, AT DISNEY HQ

On the plus side though, they're not likely to release a Supremacy. Even at Armada scale, it'd be the size of a mid sized car.
That thing would be pure sex to have on a table
Overall - excellent. Personal gripe - shave a minute or two off of every action scene and spend it on character development. All these great actors and very little space to work with.
i feel like we got that?
Poe - all action and no consideration for the heavy weight of command will get your rebellion killed quickly; being in command is hugely different from being an ace pilot
Finn - bothsiderism sucks, caring only about yourself sucks, care about the world you live in and the people who live in it with you
Luke - you WILL make mistakes. living means facing those mistakes.
this is way oversimplifying what we got (which i thought was pretty great despite some flaws), but there was definitely character development in gobs

But I hate letter grades so I’ll just leave it at “it’s Very Good.”
