My dude put his life on the line, and devoted so much of his focus and energy for this girl only for her to turn around and fall in love with the big bad emo guy who manipulated, tortured her and killed a bunch of their friends and colleagues( AND you got tons of people cheering this narrative decision on as well).

Not only 12 years a space slave, but also 12 years a space simp as well....

Couldn't even get his paag even though she gave him the greenlight....

They gave two lesbos a two long kiss, but couldn't even let Finn follow up with that Space Foreign Rose....

As far as this trilogy goes, I thought it was entertaining, but it was popcorn entertainment.

First of all, Finn and Rey should have been an item. Finn was a decoy protagonist as he was the first main character to show up in the first trailer of this trilogy. There's nothing wrong with Rey's story. I think it should have been Finn who was the main protagonist. The whole "no romance" thing is a reflection of a culture where people hate to see black men with white women in mainstream movies.

The Emperor should not have returned once Darth Vader offed him. It pretty much fukked up Anakin's storyline.

In fact, keep Snoke, kill him to subvert audience expectations, and then let Plagueis do what the Emperor did in this film. Snoke was actually just a bunch of clones and Plagueis and Palpatine both were trying to create the most powerful warrior in the galaxy and have them as an ally.

It would make sense for Rey to be the most Force-sensitive and most powerful person in the galaxy IF after Anakin's failure, Plagueis tried to replicate creating a Force-sensitive being the same way Anakin was made. If not for Obi-Wan defeating Anakin, he would be the most powerful person in the galaxy. So Plan B. Create another Anakin. Except this time use a different tactic to turn her to the dark side.

It's suspect that Rey is Palpatine's "granddaughter" in the traditional sense anyway. If he used the (fukking) "midichlorians", his daughter could be the vessel for the next Anakin. Then Palpatine dies, Plagueis reveals that he managed to cheat death and discovers who Rey is and tries the same thing Palpatine did, but without being a hammy villain like Palpatine.

I think those changes would improve the overall structure of the trilogy while still keeping the Star Wars tone.

Then, again, that gets me to thinking. Rey healed Ben's mortal wound and Ben brought Rey back to life using the Force...which proves the Force can allow you to cheat death.

I agree with everything except interracial relationship between Finn and Rey part.

There was no character development in TLJ

unless you considered destroying Luke development

I’m reading like wtf his this man saying. Ain’t no chracther development in this movie. Character development is when Finn questions himself on how come he can use a lightsaber. Not running around all three movies yelling “RRRREEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!”

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Watching these movies and realizing there's no sense of danger or tension in any of Rey's fights... it's like, does Kylo even pinch the bytch one time?



When Luke fought Darth Vader the first time, he got in a few lucky hits then got mollywhopped after Vader started fighting seriously, resulting in him losing the fight and his hand. When Anakin and Obi-Wan tried to 2v1 Dooku, they got aired out viciously from jump and Anakin lost his hand and a good chunk of his force potential with it. shyt, Anakin lost to Obi-Wan despite being MUCH stronger in the force by that point because he had the fatal flaw of letting his emotions cloud his sense of judgment. At no point do you feel like Rey is in any immediate danger or feel any tension like she'd actually lose. She steamrolls through everybody.

This is what everyone was talking about.

 

[Starboy52]

This is what everyone was talking about.

It’s even more glaring now, when you can’t point to the moment of clarity that told her she was in way over her head (she never was) and still had a long way to go.

But people online will swear up and down that Anakin or Luke were Gary Stu’s even though they both took multiple L’s to get them on the right track motivation wise

 

[ALTRUISM]

Where was the Emperor getting the funding, manpower, and resources to have a fleet of star destroyers with each having the planetary destruction power of the death star right under everybody nose for 30 years?

All these force ghosts whisper to help and support Rey, but not a finger was lifted for Luke who was the galaxy's last hope in ROTJ?

General Hux is a damn spy even though he maliciously killed all the rebels in the last movie

Speaking of killing: this man Kylo Ren has killed millions, if not billions of people either directly or indirectly, but he somehow get kissed by Rey.

Meanwhile my dude Finn can't even hit some Jabba the Hutt ass asian chick

They got Lando being the stereotypical old black uncle tryna to work his magic on some young thang

Theme your movie about being yourself, but take someone else's last name brehs

[CarltonJunior]

Finally saw it. Mixed emotions, too many things didn't make sense.

My immediate reaction is that it's a passable movie, but it has a ton of issues.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

The OG trilogy is overrated. They had compelling characters, with no great story arcs. The script and dialogue for the time was ok, but that shyt hasn't aged well.

The 2nd trilogy, got CGI happy and they didn't improve upon the dialogue. In fact it got worse.

This new trilogy, had everything it needed this time around. Top notch VFX at their disposal. A giant in Disney which could bankroll it. But this time, they nailed the visuals, and didn't care too much about anything else.

What made Dark Vader epic, was mask and the voice. Kylo Ren, was supposed to carry that mantle. Instead, they wanted to show Adam Driver's face and let it be about him.

Lastly, this trilogy failed for 2 simple reasons.

1. they tried to rely heavily on nostalgia and carbon copied too much from the originals. And not only did it not go over well, but....

2. they crammed a 6 episode story arc, into 3 movies. And not only that, they made shyt up as they went along from one movie to the next.

imagine if they did take their time to make Star Wars into 6 instead of 3 episodes

 

[Crayola Coyote]

The Farce Awakens was a frame to frame copy of ANH, zero new creative flourishes

TLJ was nothing BUT filler since the Canto Bight storyline led nowhere, the space chase with the Star Destroyer led nowhere, and Luke’s involvement in the story went nowhere (which, by extension, means that nothing that happened in TFA mattered, since finding the map to Luke was pointless)

Don’t even get me started on “Sith daggers” and “wayfinders” and “Sith loyalists” from the new film. My nikka, Sith loyalists?!?!?!

Palpatine’s whole steelo is secrecy and pulling strings from the shadows. You telling me the whole time he was manipulating covert events he had an arena full of Sith loyalists sitting the bleachers watching his every move?

You telling me Force ghosts can interact with physical objects now (when Luke catches his lightsaber)?

Why couldn’t ghost Luke just go fight Palpatine himself then?

The prequels were never this bad, even at their lowest points.

see! I knew I wasn’t missing out seeing this mess.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

this shyt here is goofy but is it worse than Palpatine being in the crawl outta nowhere and five minutes into the movie people bein like "oh hey Palp is back" and then

Spoiler

they never fukking explain how or why
