Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Official Thread)

[gluvnast]

This series feels unnecessary.

I just don’t get the same sense of urgency, wonder or grandiosity from these films that I get from the Og trilogy, or even the prequels

The basic plot is no different from Empire Strikes Back. Trying to escape from the Empire to live to fight another day.

Bro, she's got blown out of a fukking spaceship into the VACUUM OF SPACE and unconsciously flew herself BACK to the spaceship...and SURVIVED! That's probably the most powerful force usage in the entire series. That shyt NEEDS to be explained. If PRINCESS LEIA could that what could Yoda do in his prime?!

Breh yoda has to be a god level jedi

leia getting sucked into space and surviving was funny, that and the girl at the end basically being crowned a new/last jedi made me think of the feminist movement

 

[gluvnast]

I've no idea why Rey as Jedi with nobody parents is polarising. That's normal for Jedi.

People act as if Anakin, Rey and that kid at the END of the film are NOT from the same upbringing.

 

[Dwolf]

They were showing all these Rebels dying and fighting like Im suppose to know or care who these people are

 

[Grand Conde]

BTW this gives me some hope for the Rian Johnson trilogy but I fukking hope they leave Skywalker behind, and for that matter, empire/first order vs resistance.

The film was definitely trying to be subliminally political. What with All the women characters, the anti-animal cruelty message shoehorned in the COMPLETELY useless Finn arc and the racial and fat diversity.

Whats the issue with that breh?

I swear some people here want all-white male everything.

And I loved the animal stuff, underlined how horribly humans have treated Earth.

this piece of shyt movie

 

[KalKal]

I'll see Episode 9 of course but idk if I'll care enough to see it on day one like this and TFA.

Spoiler

When you think about it all we have to look forward to in the next episode is the Rey vs Kylo fight otherwise they already played their hand.

If there's a time jump before the next episode, I think I have an idea where they might be going.

Spoiler

-Kylo Ren creates a new Empire worse/more oppressive than the old one.
-The Resistance is almost finished as a military force, but they hear rumors about the "Broom Kid" and similar Force-sensitive random individuals througout the galaxy and Rey is able to telepathically inspire a mass uprising on multiple worlds through the Force.

That whole sequence was so FIRE bruh

Now that i slept on it yup this shyt might end up being a classic to the youngins comming up. Some off y’all poster need to let go of the past the old ways are over burn those scrolls you nerds it’s a new wave Ima see it again tonight just to make sure and btw you extra woke people gotta chill Finn got busy for his own right fukk y’all want? Don’t worry Black Panther soon come..

...If I can get past what "Star Wars" means to me, I admit this might be true. TLJ was sub-standard as a Star Wars movie, but as far as movies go it wasn't really bad. At least it's a lot better than TFA. (Part of me is still bitter about the positive fan reaction TFA got by some of the same people that trashed RotS).

There wasn't any BB8's 30 years ago... nor could you track anyone that goes into light speed either.

I almost hate to defend this movie, but the lack of technological advancement seems to be normal for the Star Wars universe. The Old Republic was at least 4000 years old, but technology barely moved forward at all in all that time. Its an ultra-traditional society based on ancient rituals. E.g. Obi Wan thought a lightsaber was "an elegant weapon from a more civilized time", when using the same technology it should be possible to create far deadlier ranged weapons.

In fact, the only "scientists" I can think of in the movies were they guys working on the Death Star in Rogue One. And they were all murdered. The "good guys" don't believe in advancing technology, and the "Dark Side" only believes in separately siloed secret military scientists working on superweapons.

I'm just pointing it out. The movie valued being PC more than being good. You saying "I swear some people here want all-white male everything." is just strawmaning.

 

[Alpha Male]

LOL! I just knew I'd see this shyt on here. Throughout the whole movie I was wondering how many white boys were thinking "No war room has this many brown people or women in it". I thought that perhaps because white men tend to say the same thing about seeing brown folks in their beloved fantasy movies, that perhaps black men would be more open to seeing women instead of parroting the same shyt they say about y'all when they see you in their movies. But no, same shyt, different flavor.

This is a fantasy movie. None of this shyt is realistic. It's funny how people like to pick and choose what should be realistic when it comes to race and gender but will argue all day about who should be force sensitive. gtfo.

no one you quoted, including me, said anything about brown people. you projected that all on your own.

 

[Grand Conde]

And yet if this movie just had a load of CAC males you wouldn't say shyt about it.

This movie is full of white women yet you aren't saying anything...
Anyway, again, please find where I said this was an issue...
Stop being defensive and making strawman arguments over someone pointing something out, it's insecure as hell.

It was obvious to anyone paying attention, but unfortunately there are people who will criticize you just for pointing it out.

 

[Paper Boi]

i didn't hate it, but i wasn't impressed either. kylo and rey teaming up was probably the best part.

i think a lot of people who are absolutely hating it are mad that their favorite theory didn't play out.

that being said they wasting finn on stupid ass side adventures on a casino planet. that was easily the worst part of the whole movie.
