While you're mostly correct (she escaped using Snoke's personal shuttle), his question was how she got ON the ship, not off it. ;) The Millenium Falcon just jumped into the slow chase, launched Rey in an evacuation pod at the Supremacy, and jumped back out of the slow chase.

I certainly disliked it, but more than that, I didn't put it in my rankings because watching TLJ effectively makes the sequel trilogy worse than not watching it... I think if you only watched a 15 mins video of the main plot points of TLJ (Luke begrudgingly training Rey, Snoke's death, the...

I completely agree with you that bringing Palpatine back was not necessary originally, and I'm also quite sure it wasn't in the plan at first. They only did that because Rian killed Snoke, and the villain for TROS if rumors are to be believed was going to be a character from the Clone Wars...

I didn't even mention TROS in my post, dude. I just said it's odd that people who make 2 hour long reviews of each movie wouldn't notice the musical theme of the main character, especially when it's a big hint to her mysterious origins that end up revealed in the last film.. And I did say I...

I know RLM's entire shtick on Star Wars nowadays is how tired they are of Star Wars, but some of their comments are either pure trolling or they didn't pay attention at all to any of the movies BECAUSE they are so tired of them... I mean, Rey's musical theme is like the only noticeable new...

I agree. And I guess I did mention SJW in the middle of nowhere because 125 out of 145 pages of this thread are seemingly people posting pictures of Kennedy wearing a "The Force is FEMALE" t-shirt and foaming at the mouth. I just happen to not consider this as "Star Wars doesn't want me...

I agree with you, they don't make them like they used to. Let's be friends and let this thread resume its normal activity of posting angry youtubers and memes and occasionnally a comment about Star Wars.

It's ok, my dad is white too. It's not their fault.

Yeah I just realized it means UK or US specifically... stupid idioms. /facepalm I live in France. And no since I don't live anywhere near Paris I didn't have to go through hordes of black rapists to reach the theater.

Yeah because speaking english means I live in England.. :rolleyes:

And the people saying that in interviews are saying it only because they think it's the trendy or popular thing to do. If making a homophobic, sexist, antisemitic movie was the new way to get a billion dollars, you'd start hearing that too. Again, those are big movie studios that only care about...

I'm actually going to see it again on tuesday because my 9 year old wants to see it... but you might notice I never said I loved the movie. I have mixed feelings about it, it's in my opinion far better than TLJ but it has some issues too. I pointed them out, many others have too, and many have...

You either fail at reading, or you're so traumatized by Disney that you literally don't see a way out anymore. I never said you have a choice between loving shit and hating shit; what I'm saying you are completely allowed to consider it shit but you don't have to consider it ruins the franchise...

That's the thing though, you seem to think this ruins Star Wars for everyone. It doesn't. Did the prequels ruin Star Wars for you also? The Holiday Special? If so, it was ruined before Disney. If it didn't, then why does this? For me, I dislike the majority of how the prequels turned out, and...

Not helped by the fact that Palpatine was held up by a mechanical arm.

That's pretty much my take on it too. Not sure it's really a spoiler since it was in the trailers but...

That's what I'm saying. After TLJ, an "okay" sequel isn't a disappointment. It's a step-up. What's disappointing is the trilogy as a whole.

I find it hard to believe anyone that goes to watch this objectively comes away disappointed AFTER having seen TLJ. TLJ made millions of people rage and swear off Star Wars, and at the very least reduced the expectations of even the hardcore fans to slightly below zero for this sequel. If there...

Almost nothing of TLJ is mentioned in TROS if it could be avoided. This movie was full backpedaling on most of the TLJ fuckups.

I don't get the Holden hate, dude feels just like Shepard from Mass Effect.. Amos is cool because he's a psycho and Holden is a bit more flat but that's just the hero type.. but who can forget this awesome moment?

That's a valid point. I too prefer the more subtle power uses (though this movie also shows some cool subtle powers that I think are fitting of a Jedi) over the super-speed, super-jump, etc... that just makes Jedi into super-heroes. But you can hardly blame the sequels for that, the power...

Ok I said I was done here but fuck I can't let that pass because that goes beyond not paying attention to the sequels it's like basic movie watching 101 right there. Are you really arguing why Leia and Han named their kid Ben after the man that : - saved Luke and Leia's mother after Vader left...

Anyway, I'm done here. I've posted my thoughts and answered a few questions as well as I could. Those that care to actually read into them I hope it alleviates some of their worries if they still hope this can be a pleasant viewing experience. Those that gave up on the sequels I can't blame...

Was it? Honestly all the clues were there.

While there's always going to be similarities because Star Wars is just one big recycling factory and it being a classic story it's also going to tread common paths, but this didn't feel much like ROTJ or TESB to me... if I had to choose it's a bit more ROTJ because Emperor and big battle at...

What a great episode this was. Can't wait for the next one.

Oh definitely, it was a mix of Cell vs Gohan and Voldemort vs Harry in that scene. The dialogue was meh, but the visuals were pretty cool, and the room it takes place in is pretty cool too.

Regarding the title and the ending... Since I can see this post is getting a lot of love, I'd like to point out I'm not writing this as my own poetic interpretation, I'm just stating the movie dialogue right there.

I won't defend the new movies overmuch, they have a ton of flaws and some good things. But as someone that saw the whole movie, if Palpatine's lightning in that scene was on the same level as what he used in the scene just before this video, it's not a matter of "will I fuck my face up" and more...

Yeah but like I said above, Palpatine did the same mistake in ROTS.. it's not like he's the best at making short-term decisions.. he's a good schemer and manipulator but ultimately he judges people wrongly (both Luke and Rey, and even Vader), hubris is his worst enemy, he keeps underestimating...

Haha I see.. well, that's nothing new, the same thing happened in ROTS, that's how he fucked his own face up. Or his glamour at least. I'm sure Disney will release a comic or a novel that explains how once your Force Lightning gets tangled into a lightsaber you can't stop it or something...

I'm genuinely curious, what do you find retarded about it?

Yes. But that's pretty obvious, not sure how anyone could create these images otherwise. It'd be a really fucking amazing video editing job if it was fake.

Okay so.. Before I tell you anything about how I liked TROS, here's my take on the other movies. Prequels - mostly terrible, a few good ideas sprinkled here and there but overall wasted, learned to not let them bother me too much after a while. Classics - love them. All of them, including...

I’m browsing on my phone right now and it’s a huge PITA to write anything, I’ll be home in a bit to write my thoughts.

I saw it a couple hours ago. Feel free to ask questions if you want.
