turning Luke Skywalker into a worthless alien titty juice drinking bum...

This is bullshyt. Rian didn't put Luke on the island hidden away from everyone. That was JJ's decision. Rian had to come up with a reason why Luke would be hiding out while the resistance is losing the war and Snoke/Ren are taking over the galaxy.

JJ made that decision. At least Rian gave him a heroic ending lol

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
they never fukking explain how or why
"The Dark side of the force has the power to do things some people would call unnatural", Also I'm pretty sure that machine was the only thing helping him survive until he took the life force from Ben and Rey.

That doesn't explain anything, it's just some words.

oh you mean the crane? Yeah, that's fine until you go back and watch him explode when he died and then another nuclear type explosion that followed, he'd have been dust... somehow his body is intact :dahell: in this movie...

Heroic ending? Rian came up with the bullshyt that Luke was considering to kill Ben in his sleep because he sensed some dark side of the Force in him.:why:

Luke could've been hiding for many reasons, even as simple as his own shame for not being able to keep Ben from the dark side or save his students. The decision to make Luke almost entirely responsible for pushing Ben to the dark side is the worst in the entire trilogy.

I get people complaining about Palpatine being back with a fleet of planet killing Star Destroyers, and it is lazy writing, but TLJ was a complete character assassination of Luke Skywalker and I refuse to accept anyone acting like that film isn't a huge fukking problem in its own right.

Lazy writing? What writing? It's in the fukking crawl and NEVER explained... We watched him die. He exploded. How the fukk is he back? And then they just going to go straight into it without ever explaining the hows and whys lmao.

Because that would make him a hero? The Resistance is down to a handful of ships and troops and planets are getting wiped off the fukking map and Snoke/Ren/Hux are taking over the galaxy and you think that's a heroic decision for Luke to take him off the chessboard and placed on an island that nobody can find.

lol, I'm not defending Rise Of Skywalker, breh. I just feel that people have started to give Rian a pass for decisions made in TLJ because JJ set some shyt up and left, and I don't agree because Rian could have made different (better) decisions.

That’s not excusing all the lazy writing of this last film, I'm just saying that if people shyt on these films, they should shyt on all three of them and not make it a JJ vs Rian thing.

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? :mjtf:

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? :mjtf:

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

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. :mjtf:

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

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

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

How bout this. Explain the dagger.

How did they know the wreckage would look like that? Why did they leave the macguffin in the throne room on the wreckage? How did Rey know where to stand to match the shape of the dagger with the wreckage?
The same dagger was also used to kill Rey’s parents by Palpatine’s goon :mjlol:

Maybe they'll learn from their mistakes here when it comes to making the inevitable 4th trilogy.

- Keep the execs out of it for the most part and find some enthusiastic, talented writers/directors to build an actual planned out story.

- You can bring back a few old characters but don't use them as a crutch.

Maybe they could just completely redo this trilogy - use Luke and Han for a few short scenes in the first film for continuity and then make a Kylo Ren based trilogy where his character actually does something interesting. It could either be a prequel to these new films or a straight up redo.

Or just all new characters. Just get some writers who actually give a shyt.

It's a shame because theres some good things about this trilogy. Daisy Ridley is a great lead and should have been given more to do. You always felt like Finn should have had more too, either the romance with Rey or he could have learnt the force or had some conflicted loyalty to Kylo, anything that would have elevated him from the position of bytch.
