re: Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi Discussion Thread ***SPOILERS***

What the heck was the deal with the blue glowing bracelets that some of the characters had? Tracking devices?

No one even replied to the call for help that Princess Lea sent out to the entire galaxy.
You spend a big part of the movie explaining that you can't throw away your forces on an all or nothing attack, but you end the movie with 15 people left on the falcon oh and a little boy who can levitate a broom. I'm sorry but the resistance lost, there's no realistic coming back from that.

Wait no the Galaxy is saved, space penguins!

The movie would have been made much better in one instant if instead of disappearing, Luke had been getting into his X-Wing and flying off somewhere to end the movie.

Well, there's the possibility that he's so powerful in the Force now, that he doesn't need a ship. Despite the "he's gone now" lines, that just didn't feel like a death. More like he ascended, or something.

I hate the fact that Kylo is one of the more likable characters, as I'm not going to forgive him killing Han Solo in cold blood.
But I currently can't stand what's left of the Resistance either, with the exception of Chewie, and to an extent Rey. She needs to dump those losers and move on.

The biggest thing I disliked in the movie was the Rey and Kylo force chat scenes. Where the heck did that come from? Now Jedi have their own version of FaceTime?

They have to have some way of watching each other poop

Nope its ForceTime

The movie had so many cringe worthy moments that have already been discussed that I won't begin to to rehash them all, except one. Leia flying in space looked like it came right from a clip from a cheap Superman TV show from the 60's.

What's missing is a rugged, smart-assed, politically incorrect, alpha male leading man. Luke's character was a huge pussy until the end, and even then such a bad way to end his life. Really a completely hollow shell of who Luke was in the original storyline.

I'm just done with this Disney garage. I'll wait for the $1.50 Blu-Ray at RedBox for the next movie, rip it and watch on my tablet while I take a crap.

It wasn't. I'd never submit something as enjoyable as popcorn to something as bad as this.

You're being ridiculous

You must be an awful person to be around that takes joy out of nothing. To act like the movie didn't have redeeming qualities is moronic.
