I'm not even excited about the next movie now. Probably will just see it on Netflix. Nothing left to look forward to in this series.

You know what the worst frickin part is.

JJ Abrams is back and it's Star Wars. I'll go see it on opening night. I already know I'm going to give them my fricking money just to see how the story ends.

I can't help bit think that if the resistance wasn't being lead by a bunch of post menopausal women they might not be in the position they were on

The original Yoda ghost from RotJ looked more realistic and better graphics than the digital created one 30+ years later.

I'm sure I'm about to get absolutely drilled for saying this, even though I think it's true, but I think Rian Johnson was more concerned with casting a diverse cast than he was focusing on the story.

Which really sucks because I think Rey is a fantastic character and Ridely is almost acting in another movie. I have no issue with a strong female character. Jaina Solo was one of my favorite EU characters.

People worried about diversity need to watch Brooklyn 99 and just do what they do. Diversity can be part of the story. If it’s THE story then it’s preachy

The Snoke thing really pissed me off. With the previous trilogies, you always had that sense that the evil was so strong, it didn’t matter who faced them, they would win. Kylo REN isn’t an impressive villain. At all.

There are so many ways they could have at least attempted to justify not showing Snokes power and defeating him so easy. I’d much prefer if it had been Rey took his hand and they joined together to be honest. Then I probably could have gotten over how easy Snoke was defeated, because at least the reason behind not showing Snokes power and how evil he was would have been because the story needed to shift to Rey and Ren being evil together.

So are Ray and Finn just BFFs now, or is he gonna get to choose between the fat Chinese guy and her?

Pretty sure they went out of the way to show his dead body later in the film so the audience would know he wasn't a projection. After all, even the dice eventually disappeared.

Why would they design this character so scarred and mangled like he was killed before and sliced through the head?

He has to come back

Snoke will return as a force ghost, much like Luke, I'm willing to bet.


100%

Luke told Ren "if you kill your master in anger he'll always be with you."

But it's stupid and cheap m

Kylo is the best part of the entire new series so far

Why do you keep saying this? Did you not watch the movie?

Snoke was clearly shown to be more force sensitive and more a master of the dark side than Vader or Palpatine ever dreamed possible.

The whole shitty subplot about her being poor and them wrecking the bad rich people casino, and the truth of who profits from war, etc... Was horrendously written and unnecessary.

His character is impressive. But he doesn’t seem like a villain who can lead the empire IMO. I’m sure I’ll get blasted, but he is what I wanted for Darth Maul. This badass who is sent to kill and wreak havoc through the entire trilogy. It just doesn’t seem they have made him into a character who can lead an evil empire like they did with Palpatine.

Rich = bad
White male = bad or a failure

Poor = good
Female = good
Non- white male = good
abigious sexual tension between same sex = good

He’s more of a Loki than a Thanos, that’s for sure

I agree. And he doesn't want to. He wants to burn it all down.

Keep saying this? It’s the first time I have commented in this thread

You’re right, for those five seconds he was alive after letting us know he connected Ren and Rey, we saw he was super force sensitive. So force sensitive that he couldn’t tell Ren’s true intentions of him soon about to kill him with the lightsaber that was moving right beside him.

For the same reason you had to be introduced to some stupid bitch with purple hair OT literally take all the glory from Ackbar, who, instead of just telling her crew the plan for evacuation, decided to be a coy bitch about it for no reason cause a mutiny, etc...



But hey, she had to explain condescendingly what mansplaining is a bad thing and why the boys need to shut up... which is exactly what mansplaining is except a woman is doing it. I'm going to coin the term for women doing it: cuntfussing.
