That was the final straw for me. I was trying to keep the faith through all that BS. But that scene was retarded. I started roasting the film after that.

Ive never left a theater and had the feeling I did that night. It felt like we started the first day of clown world.

I also hated that Akbar was just killed off in that scene and control given to an admiral who only wears evening gowns and no one has seen before.
Ackbar should have at least done the holdo maneuver and yelled out "it's a trap " then movie would be a D but an F from me.

Here's about a 20 minute segment of TROS:

Our heroes have to go to a desert planet to find the video game McGuffin dagger to find the evil sith world. Once there, they get into two different speeders, which get chased around the desert by the bad guys. One speeder gets shot down, all good guys safely fall to the ground. Moments later, the second speeder gets shot down in the exact same spot, so our heroes are all sitting in the sand together. Then and only then does the ground reveal itself to be space quicksand. They sink into a tunnel (the roof of which is space quicksand) and wouldn't you know it? The dagger McGuffin is just a few feet from where they sank into the tunnel, on an entire planet.

They grab the knife and on their way out of the tunnel, they encounter a giant space snake, which is injured and has to be healed with Rey's previously unknown jedi healing powers, just so they can establish that she has that ability for later.

She heals the snake and they get out of the tunnels, walk about 50 yards before discovering that they are in the exact right spot to hold up the knife and see the final space clue.

It's like it was written by idiot children playing in a sandbox.

I think that was the original idea, but it got 'force is female'd' into the retarded bullshite we saw.

It started with the mom jokes from Poe. Then this horrific scene. Then Luke chucking the lightsaber. I genuinely couldn't believe what I was watching

I didn't see the movie in theaters. My first and only attempt at watching it was on a 15 hour flight to Seoul.

I honestly though I was watching a blooper reel when the joke scene was happening. I backed out of the movie to make sure I selected the right one.

Holy shite was it bad.

I remember when the media and the shills were saying we just weren’t smart enough to get it.

McGuffin dagger


Of all the dumb writing in the sequel trilogies, the dumbest thing was by far that an ancient sith dagger or some shite lined up with death star wreckage that occurred 30 years ago.

Like what in the actual frick?

The Last Jedi was dumb, but The Rise of Skywalker was by far the worst movie of that pathetic trilogy.

Sure, but that movie got fricked due to Rian Johnsons choices. They were not expecting that type of backlash so they panicked.

SMH. Not to mention that hatch opening into direct space with no effects. And then on and on.

JJ chose to make an ancient dagger matching not-ancient ship wreckage a main plot point of the whole fricking movie.

Stop letting JJ off the hook because Rian made a bad movie. JJ made a worse one.

Mrs. Iwy did too. i just had to shake my head at the stupidity. Of all the dumb parts in that movie, that was by far the worst.

They had to find the McGuffin dagger so they could find the McGuffin 'wayfinder' so they could find the sith world.

I figured they were aligning it with some video game they were developing. I'm sure that's the case, but it just goes to show what you get when publicly traded companies take control of things like this. It's all product tie-ins and formulas.

Your expectations were subverted, were they not?

i can still remember the feeling of sitting in the theater on release day SUPER excited only to watch this mom-joke intro within the first few minutes of the film. my stomach got that sinking feeling like...oh, no what is this. and it was all downhill from there.
