True story :heh:

Other than that I thought the movie was aight. Luke's death was kind of unnecessary though.
Perhaps,but I think it's possible he sticks around as a force ghost. And if there is any way to go out, it's sonning a dude from half way across the Galaxy on some

The way Coli Militants described it, I thought Finn was going to be a huge let down. Militants going overboard as usual. I think the last movie established that Finn was going to be the “Han Solo” of the series. I mean Harrison Ford all but, passed the baton to Finn in the first film. Finn is not a Jedi. That’s not his role. Get over it. Maybe he’s Force Sensitive but, he can have a major role in the film without being a Jedi. He showed a lot more growth in this film. Finn’s entire M.O. is to run and get the fukk outta dodge. He’s not with the dying for the Resistance shyt. Yet, he decided to go on a suicide mission into a foreign planet to get the Codebreaker, then another suicide mission to break into the First Order’s ship to disable the Light Speed tracker and then in his biggest moment, he went completely against his earlier cowardice by being willing to kill himself to save the others/destroy one of Kylo’s ships. For a nikka that was saying fukk all y’all two hours earlier :skip: being willing to sacrifice himself is real character growth. He killed Phasma. Don’t care if it wasn’t a straight win. That’s hater talk. He is a valued member of the Resistance in terms of discussing strategy and leading the rest. His arc is about learning to be brave and he’s doing that. I expect more wins for him in the next movie. What more do y’all nikkas want :heh:


:dwillhuh:

HE
HAS
ZERO
TALENT.

He doesn't have to be the second coming of Mace Windu. Or be force sensitive. All the fxck that we ask is that they give him SOME special noteworthy ability or atleast a precursor to something like it. He is brave.... and he knows some First Order intel (since he kinda used to work for them)... THAT'S IT. Its been two movies and he has accomplished virtually nothing that any other Rebel couldn't do themselves

Han Solo was an Ace pilot, master gunfighter, fearless gambit, engineer, shrewd con man, and seasoned smuggler who has fended off deadly bounty hunters his damn self with his unique skills. This was established off the rip BEFORE he even met Luke.. Long before having Leia's heart or being down for the cause.

Finn cannot properly fly an aircraft. He cannot communicate with aliens. He cannot communicate with robots. Is not tech savvy. Has no elite proficiency with weapons. He literally cannot run 50 metres without having someone come and rescue him. And Phasma was about to smoke his azz if BB-8 hadnt come through and wrecked shyt first. He simply finished her off.

:heh:Discuss strategy? Lead? The stubby asian bytch is smarter than him and knows just as much about the First Order as he does. Even though he's the one who literally spent his life working for them.

This isnt militant shyt. You realize there is an entire population of star wars fans who share the same sentiment with how he is criminally underused as a character to this series? Look I dont wanna kill your vibe. So like I said in my earlier post.. let the media/critic hype die down, let the excitement fade. Give it some time. When you are done digesting you will realize that these writers really aint shyt for a number of reasons.

I love when the movies go against expectations, it's why I love most of the prequels.

I agree with brehs saying that a lot of this movie's flaws stem from JJ's non creative weak ass set up in TFA. It's obvious Rian wasn't interested in just repeating what George/Kershner/Marquand had done cinematically/thematically but JJ kind of forced his hand. Perhaps that's why Disney offered him movies outside of the Saga.

So fine with the different approach, I just think a lot of the story choices didn't work. An 18 hour chase even though we saw 3 Ties totally fukk that shyt up, Holdo not telling Poe her plans for no reason, that casino diversion, no detais on Snoke and bringing Phasma and Maz back (assuming this was some JJ bullshyt) and Leia was useless/ridiculous.

I don't care if Rey's parentage is what Kylo says it is. I think her arc with Kylo/Luke works and saves the movie. Her parents being nobodies works. I also don't care if the Skywalker line ends in failure with Kylo. Anakin took out the Emperor, Luke and Leia the Empire - Kylo's fukk up cannot undo that no matter how hard JJ tried resetting the universe.

Rian is true to Lucas in trying new things and taking chances, I hate Canto Bight but I loved the kids and the end of the movie. Hope JJ has some balls and redeems himself for TFA.

I'm just sitting back and :russ: at people who have been bashing the prequels getting upset at the negative reaction this movie is getting. The IGN's and also some of y'all niccaz.

I think these last two movies were great tbh. I love how the characters are shades of gray.

The truth is you can make a complaint about anything and everything. 99% of the time it's overblown.

End of the day, it's a movie.

Leader of the righteous Brehs!
Reading some reactions in here I can see some nikkas don’t know shyt about Star Wars and just jumped on the hype train when they noticed TFA was trending three years ago. For people to mention and even dismiss the fact of how Rey is able to do certain things with the force is ridiculous. You have people talking about “oh what’s the big deal Rey and that little kid have the same background as Anakin”. The answer to that is no they fukking don’t, nothing wrong with Rey being a force sensitive it’s how strong she is without training that is an issue. How is she exerting more raw power than Kylo Ren who is trained and from the lineage of Anakin Skywalker.



Why is Kylo lineage important? Because Anakin Skywalker is the child of the force, it means his dad is the very power source the Jedi and Sith rely on. George Lucas the creator and essentially supreme being of the Star Wars universe has stated that Anakin Skywalker has the greatest potential ever bar none. And should he have reached his prime uninjured no one in that universe past or present was fukking with him. Even Anakin with his raw potential and ability could not use the force in the way Rey and that kid have displayed. He had the gift of foresight which translated as quick reflexes hence why he was a human that could pod race and his intuition was second to none which is how he built C-3P0. This is the greatest and most powerful Jedi and these were the extent of his abilities prior to receiving training. Rey has lived on an isolated planet all her life and never displayed force powers and then boom just randomly whips out Jedi mind trick and force pull and is able to engage and become victorious in light sabre combat? And this is ok with people?


Finally on the topic of why people are upset about the treatment of Luke. I am a fan of the EU and loved where it took the characters (RIP Mara Jade you was to good for these shytty new films) but would have forgiven them if these new films were in line with Who these characters were and the universe. Luke Skywalker trying to assassinate Kylo Ren doesn’t make any sense in context of who the character is. Despite all the evil deeds Vader did he never gave up on him and brought him back from the darkness back into the light. That shyt is heroic and courageous, the hero’s plight of never giving up even when it seems like a lost cause. Yet you want me to believe the moment he senses darkened in Kylo Ren he wanted to snuff him? And him simply giving up and running away was cowardly plain and simple. I could go on and on about the flaws of these new movies and how they have shyt on everything Star Wars. If I continue it would turn into a thesis because there is so much to critic as opposed to praise.
The reason Vader couldn't fully harness the true potential of the force is because most of his body, especially his limbs are robotic. He doesn't have a full complete body for the force to flow through. This is also why he couldn't use force lightning. In one of the recent Darth Vader comics by Marvel it was said that under his armor his body is still so badly damaged that his body is perpetually using the force to counter the pain and deterioration of his body
