Here's a list of Force voices that Rey heard:
  • Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn
  • Alec Guinness & Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker
  • Frank Oz as Yoda
  • Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu
  • Freddie Prinze Jr as Kanan Jarrus (from Star Wars: Rebels)
  • Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars/Rebels)
  • Angelique Perrin as Adi Gallia (from The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars and, er, Jedi Power Battles on PSone)
  • Jennifer Hale as Aayla Secura (from Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
  • Olivia D'Abo as Luminara Unduli (from Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars)
i hate shyt like this. who the fukk is this for? how many people could enjoy this in the moment? i couldn't even decipher voices of characters i know let alone characters from the cartoon and shyt. this only exists for people to go on the internet and see afterwards. who the fukk recognized Wedge Antilles 40 years later for that split second? they could have spent another 10 seconds on him in the actual movie instead of it being something you figure out when you watch 1 of the 200 recycled "46 Easter Eggs you may have missed" videos on youtube.

JJ Abrams is the most overrated, xeroxed-style-over-faux-substance director alive. There are no original ideas in his work, and this is the most clear example of that flaw. It was fine for TFA, where you're introducing new characters, mixing them with old ones, all while trying to attract a new generation of fans. But here? It just sucks.
Johnson left him with nearly endless possibilities. And JJ went backwards, in every fashion. It's unchallenging, fan-service-over-all, tripe.

And The Last Jedi is far and away the best film of this trilogy. Sure it's a little messy, but it's the only one with anything to say beyond "hey, remember Star Wars?" I'm amazed that Disney let Johnson do what he did in their sandbox. And disappointed that they let JJ undo everything interesting in favor of...this.

Oh well.


If you go his wikipedia dude is more a Producer than director or writer.....I use to think he was really good director.... he hasn't really did shyt ... two star trek films and two star wars film

it just dawned on me that they did the Endgame portal scene, but half assed it. there was already a ton of fan service, they should have just fukkin went balls out and showed every character still alive from the entire series in those shots. fukk it. people would complain regardless, but i wanna see fukkin Watto flying by for no reason.

Also directed one of the weakest mission impossible movies too:manny:


Like I said, as a producer he’s fine. When he’s the guy who helps you get your vision out and gives you the funds you need? Dope. When he’s the guy behind the camera tho? No thank you. I like super 8 a lot but to act as if it’s not clearly derivative of anything Spielberg did in the 80s would be a lie.


This whole movie is khan showing up in into darkness

...after lying it about it for months. What's extra dumb about that movie is that, in that iteration of Trek, the name Kahn is LITERALLY meaningless. But JJs obsession with fan service treats it like a massive reveal.

Ugggh, he sucks.

Yoda burnt the shyt out of those texts. And that's no explanation for her powers. Anakin had the entire Jedi temple and all their resources at his disposal for over a decade and got his arm chopped off by Dooku, then got the instrumentals from Obi Wan who isn't even a particularly powerful Jedi. And let's not act like Leia knew shyt about being a Jedi form training for a few months 30 years ago.

you need to pay more attention.

Exactly :russ: you got this big monologue for Benedict to do and he’s talking talking talking, says he’s khan and then Kirk and Spock basically say “so what?” They have no clue who that is. Then to make matters worse, he calls prime Spock to cheat and find out who khan is as a way to give depth and meaning to the third act.

Then has Spock yell “khan” as an homage even though it’s hollow as hell. This Spock and Kirk don’t have the same history as the original duo. Plus they spent two whole movies beefing with each other but they’re “best friends”? fukk outta here :stopitslime:

Damn you make a good point the prequels were just as much about Palpatine rise to power as they were about Anakin fall to the darkside it like if you go back and watch the movies you can see Palpatine making power moves to gain more power and social standing in the galactic senate so they would make him the Emperor :ohhh:


It's all Jar Jar's fault for declaring that Palpatine should be supreme chancellor :beli:

Always said I like it and stand by that. Don’t think it’s perfect but I really do like it. And I’ll take it over this flick all day everyday. If for nothing else the fact it moved a ball forward rather than sitting on it and running out the clock, which is this movie
