[Movie] Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

[PACOX]

Honestly - Luke dying was like a piece of me dying. My childhood hero, that made me think about what possibilities are 'out there' - gone. It is kinda hard to handle a little bit. So, what other soul destroying thing can truly happen to totally destroy all the childhood hopes and dreams of fanhood. I reckon the one they'll make happen, is Chewie sacrifices himself AND the Millennium Falcon to save the day.

I'll piss off and disappear to an uncharted island myself if that happens.

Wait until you find out that Leia was a force ghost this entire time!

Wait till it's revealed that Luke fell in a coma when he crashed on Dagobah and everything that happened afterwards was just him using the force subconsciously to see into the future, and in movie 9 he has to stop that from happening, and we'll get CGId young luke!

Using hyperspace as a weapon, finally, was fucking amazing. Surprising in all Star Wars movies, we've never seen that. And here, we see it, and one ship and FTL debrie demolish the First Order fleet. Stunning moment.

Hyperdrive is "old" tech, why have it not been done before? Do you not see the implications? You can always trade a smaler ship for a considerably large enemy ship or a fleet if the angle is favorable. It also totaly contradicts what hapen in rogue one, Vaders Star destroyer is hit by ship who jump to hyperspace and bump on the shields.

The worst SW film ever made. I agree 100% with the article below.

Stopped reading at "Today, under the rule of the Disney Social Justice Empire." I can already guess what kind of bullshit this article has to say and it's nothing worthwile.

How do you know it hadn't been done before? You did not see it in the movies? Does not mean shit. A smaller ship wouldn't do the trick. Big ships are valuable.
In order to do the trick you have to jump into the enemy ship directly. If you just jump away and scratch some other ship's shields - that's no biggy - that's what shields are for.

Just like the movie then

[Methodd]

Just got back from this movie. What a disaster. There is no creativity left in this franchise. Just shallow writing, shoehorned plots and characters, and stupid quips. Easily the worst star wars movie since episode 2.

I'm not a stickler for continuity or technical accuracy in Star Wars. Never have been. The second you go down that path, nearly every element entire Imperial (or First Order) military looks comically retro.

Empire needs to blow up the Rebel base on Yavin 4? How about instead of waiting for a planet-destroying laser to get into firing position, they send down a few Tie bombers with thermonuclear bombs. They could lay waste to an entire continent in a few minutes.

With Star Wars, it's best not to get wrapped up in details.

Starkiller Base used hyperspace as weapon (well to deliver its payload). I think I remember them fighting or attempting to fight in hyperspace in Rebels.

But the real reason why no one used it is because they couldn't. The Empire used Interdictors. Pull a couple of ships out of hyperspace and they'll stop trying, not like the Rebellion could afford to throw away ships. Also hyperspace ramming only works with ships that large going into hypespace, they thought she was jumping away so they didn't bother shooting her. You couldn't do it coming out, ships going to slow then.

Afaik, they were waiting for the Yavin 4 moon (where the rebel base was) to get out from behind the Yavin 4 planet for the clear shot.
So technically they could've just blown up the Yavin 4, the moon would've suffered in the process just as much as with direct hit. Becasue gas giants hit with that much energy turn into a star and that's burn baby burn.

Okay I do have a question. Who were they broadcasting to at the end of the movie? Theres no reason for the any of the Rebellion to be in hiding and the Resistance (the Rebellion after the war) was wiped out. Thats why I assumed it was related to Phoneix squad in some way, the only I'd imagine would go into hiding and assuming they survive the end of Rebels. If Ashoka and K'naan aren't dead they'd be old AF. Ezra would be about Luke/Leia's age. They could sell a shit ton of Mandalorean toys if Sabine and the Mandaloreans are out there. This is all fan fiction nonsense.

They could've just warped in a couple of Star Destroyers and had been done with it though. Ultimately is was because they wanted to use terror as a weapon. The entire point of the Death Star in the first place. The Rebellion was dead at that point, destroying the Death Star is what solidified their hope if you view Rogue One and A New Hope as one big story.

Simply because luke didn't know, and he was keeping him from the truth so that he'd still go to them? The front did blow up when he tried to enter, possibly to prevent him from knowing they were gone? Perhaps yodas speech about failure was so she could learn from the jedis original failure?


I did realize something though about the next movie.

Rey and Kylo will both die to each other at the end. They will realize they are the absolute last of the jedi and sith, they will keep exponentially growing in their respective powers, and the only way to "truly" bring balance will be to wipe out both sides. Only then will all new force users be born, who are neutral and unbiased. That will be the true balance.

Would be an amazing story but this part here could potentially kill star wars with forcing it to change in such a drastic way if it isn't written well but I am all for it IF it is written well

Yep.

And then there is the whole issue of, well, Blasters and lasers in general.

SG-1 gave the best fantasy explanation of how dumb energy weapons are, ever, in every fantasy use (especially at the end, 2:20).

The good thing about SW is that it has its fans and then it has the legion of those that just try to shit on it because something something reasons..

Yeah like seriously? Because they killed off Snoke and especially Luke doesn't make this movie bad. Neither does having Leia saving herself using the force to hold on to her life and fly [Which exists in the lore] through space isn't bad cinematography or writing.

Except Ren isn’t Sith and... well if you’ve seen the movie you should know why the rest of your theory is wrong.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Hopefully he does something unique and interesting with the freedom the ending leaves him with, and sets up an interesting future for the movies to come.

This trilogy is all about letting the past die. I am sure that will carry on in Episode IX by letting the Sith and Jedi teachings die off completely and having Reylo happen but I doubt they will have children if they truly "want the past to die".

So....

When Finn and Rose are captured in the casino, they are thrown in a cell with Bandit Del Toro. Was he just chilling in there with a way to get out the whole time? Or was the point that he had an arraignment already made with the bad guys?

[The Iron Fist]

Actually it's quite the opposite, whether you like that or not. The intellectual property that is Star Wars was sold by George Lucas to Disney for some 4 billion dollars, now unless a film is made or approved by Disney it won't be Star Wars. That's how intellectual property works.

What's true is that it's not George Lucas' Star Wars anymore. Given the prequel trilogy, thank God for that. He did a great job in establishing the franchise, but ultimately he overstayed his welcome in his own franchise. The Ewoks was an early sign.

If its not George Lucas' Star Wars, it's not Star Wars. He created it and controlled every aspect of it. Anything he doesn't write is fan fiction. Saying someone overstayed their welcome in their own creative work is utter nonsense and complete stupidity. If you don't like what George Lucas did with Star Wars you should move on, he shouldn't. Star Wars is his work and the fans act as though they have more right to his creation than he does himself. That's why he sold it. People like you. Funny thing is, you only have yourselves to blame when you come to the realization that Disney is going to milk this teet until all thats left is powder. Only then will you realize that Lucas wasn't this franchises problem in the first place - it was its fans.

He was just chilling. Probably caught for cheating at the casino and decided to just spend the night anyway, maybe he was drunk too and wanted to sober up before moving out. No need to look for an impossible conspiracy.

the movie is shit , its not even good ..
