re: Who the hell is Snoke? (Spoils)

I agree Rey is too powerful and too skilled, too quickly.

But there’s no reason she had to be blood related to the skywalkers and there’s no reason to think there can’t be Force users, both dark and light, out there. My comment was directed at some critics who seem to suggest otherwise.

It’s not that she has to be that bloodline. They are trying so hard to show that you don’t have to be “somebody” to be special. She has done things that Yoda, Sidious, or Anakin took years to be able to do, with absolutely no real training on how to use the force. None at all. When she had full control over all those boulders at the end of the film, that was just pure garbage.

To put her in the role they kinda are...yes. Yes she does.


Or at least have the big reveal being that Anakin WASN'T the only one born of the Force.

Look! A way to keep the SJW plot happy while not pissing on the history!

The stuff they show her doing isn't typical Jedi Knight stuff. Again, they have showed this in the movies. I'm not even touching anything outside of that. Not even book novelizations. But she just walks in the door on par with the legendary Jedi.

Hell, compare her training to Luke's.

Yoda made him do shite to train his mind and body, and seek self discovery and enlightenment.

Rey's "training" was essentially to listen to philosophy of a depressed man. And the movie's point was to show him that he was wrong. So she literally had nothing to learn from him. But oh, now she is "trained" and can do whatever she wants.

I bet she takes out a star destroyer with the Force next episode.

Seriously, think about Rey's time on Skywalker's island, and compare it to Luke's on Degobah.

these were major issues I had with her parents just being junkie traders selling her for a hit.

If this holds true then you have this:

1. She has no training and somehow inherits the ability to fight one of the most powerful guys to ever exist in the Star Wars universe.

2. She is gaining knowledge of the force faster than anyone in the series of the movies or canon that I am aware of.

3. what was the draw of the saber to her? This is a question that should have been answered this movie even if it were a throw away line.

I don't have problems with her being a super powerful natural force wielder and I don't have a problem about the fighting since she knew how to fight with her staff already. I have a problem with her putting all of this together without any struggle at all and just thinking about the force.

And Luke’s training was seriously short and started at too old of an age.

Short?

In the greater scheme of things yes.

But estimates of Luke’s training is easily months.

I don’t see Rey staying for even a single week.

In which she spent more time with Kylo than Luke.

If Rian had anything to do with Jaws, Sheider and Dreyfuss would have just floated around drinking at the end of the movie never seeing the shark again.

No shite, there are plenty of other Jedis in the universe besides the skywalkers

Really? Name them?

Because after order 66 in the 1st trilogy, they were all killed. Forcing the twins, Obi, and Yoda into hiding. Leaving only the 2 Sith.

Then after the 2nd trilogy Luke and Leia were the only survivors (and she wasn't even a Jedi). Because we were specifically told that the force was a phony, dying religion by the Empire

So at the start of the 3rd trilogy, Luke has found some kids that he was training, but they were killed by a 'Skywalker'. Once again leaving Luke, Leia, and her son as the only force users. Well, except for Snoke (whoever the hell he is). Per canon he is a Sith, and Kylo his only apprentice. Thusly leaving Luke as, ahem, THE LAST JEDI. Or perhaps you missed the title?

There are no more. Except this girl, with no lineage, and no training, who showed no skills as a kid like Anakin did, who was drawn to the Skywalker constructed lightsaber, and had foreknowledge of the Falcon, and is now the most powerful person ever

bullshite.

It stinks. Its lazy writing, and it just shows that Rian and company are poor researchers

Who said he's dead?

I don’t care that she’s not a Skywalker. I just don’t like being led to believe for a movie and a half that she was somebody if she isn’t. If it doesn’t matter don’t act like it fricking matters to begin with.
