Are we now pretending that the opening crawl has ever been some form of quality writing? Beyond nostalgia, it isn't.

Right. That’s freaking absurd. Please let that be fake.


The guy leaking this said Palpatine shows up in the first 3 minutes of the movie. The 3 pictures above he said were to be his last leaks.

Not a good look for Star Wars, but solid gold for the Great Meme War of 2020.

The emperor looks like he is lead singer for a hair metal band on a reunion tour in the middle of a high note

How in the frickety frick does Rey Palpatine touching Lukes light saber trigger any memories? Daddy Palpatine attempted to murder the Skywalker twins and was eventually "killed" by their Papa Vader. How would there even be the slightest memory invoking spark between these 2 families? Ever? The jumping the shark that Jar Jar Abrams is attempting, is on another level from Happy Days.

Henceforth, stooping to unwarranted levels of shlock in order to prop up a story in media will now be referred to as


. . . . pulling a Palpatine

So, Palpatine is attached to a crane. They should have gone with a Hoveround.

Palpatine is just showing up all of a sudden in the last movie because they couldn’t even be bothered to create a basic outline for the trilogy.

I’m familiar with deus ex machina where the writers pull something out of their arse to suddenly resolve the story’s conflict, but I can’t think a time where I’ve seen the writers pull something out of their arse in order to create the story’s conflict.

Apparently JJ did do some rough outlines for at least the 2nd movie but Rian came in like this:

All his friends and family are dead, He failed to end the Emperor, failed to train any Jedi, Died because he used the force.

This trilogy just turned his entire arc into a big old failure.

He is now among the most worthless characters in the series.

Thanks Kathleen.

They successfully captured the feeling of all thinking non-bias Star Wars fans watching The Last Jedi.

The reactions have been better than I expected. TLJ were either “greatest movie ever” or “Shittiest Star Wars ever.” These have been more mixed but the comments are almost universally mentioning a lot of fan service.

The plot leaks are disappointing but really what the hell were they left with after TLJ? It’s been documented that JJ had a rough outline for the trilogy and met extensively with RJ to make sure he tailored certain scenes to fit the story in TLJ and then Johnson threw it all out the window. So JJ has an impossible task.

If they explain how Palpatine survived and had the time to have a family then I’m ok

They dont and your excuses for a billion dollar entity that makes gobs of money is incredible.


Disney has to do almost nothing and people will convince themselves it's good because they slapped the words "star wars" on it.

They shoehorn Palpatine's return directly into the opening crawl...

You have to be kidding me.


Supreme Leader Kylo Ren rages.

WTF man. Why not just go ahead and make references to safe spaces and social justice in there? Now I'm afraid this thing is going to be bigger garbage than TLJ. It sounds like they took everything people hated about TLJ and doubled down on it.

From someone who saw the film last night -

Movie doesn't explain how Palpatine is back. Palpatine created Snoke and there are a couple tanks with Snoke clones in them. Nothing else is explained.

God I hope this is true. This is shaping up to be an even bigger shite show than I expected.
