This thread is fucking dumb and so was Last Jedi

purple hair bitch and asian chick were complete wastes of characters
lukes death was fucking stupid
not 1 actual lightsaber fight

I liked it.

it was fucking brilliant.

>first post of the thread
>claims thread is fucking dumb
>you're fucking dumb

For a while I thought 'purple hair bitch' was going to end up being captain Phasma. Immediately when I saw her I did not trust her.
I liked it too
Brilliant? In some aspects. It was certainly pleasing to look at. It certainly wasn't perfect though. Mark Hamill's performance was great.

A wasted opportunity: The Movie
Instead of Admiral Holdo, that death scene could have been Lando Calrissian, General Leah, Admiral Ackbar or even Poe or Finn.
Instead it was wasted on a character nobody knew or cared about.

it was a lore breaking and plot hole filled nightmare.

They're saving Lando for Episode IX...

i haven't seen it yet. please nobody spoil what happens

perfect, no.. but then again, neither was the OT. The whole deal on casino island, an okay idea but poorly executed, the rest was good shit. Luke's death and final battle was magnificent.

I'm an oldfart lifelong fan btw, saw the OT when they premiered in Denmark.

...

I hadn't thought of that. You're right. They didn't really give Ackbar a good death. If they had replaced Holdo with Ackbar, and make him destroy the fleet (that scene was fucking beautiful to look at) then it would really be a fitting end for such an iconic and well loved character.
You shouldn't be here. Go spend the 20 bucks and see the movie.

Agreed. I feel like it’s a modern version of Empire Strikes Back

>Instead of Admiral Holdo, that death scene could have been Lando Calrissian
interresting idea, yeah. that could've been something.

>You’re fucking dumb too

...

they prolly are, yes.

...

in some ways, it was, yes. Though not as copy-cat'ish as TFA.

I haven't seen anyobe bring it up, so I am going to ask it outright. What do you all think about Reylo? I personally would like to see it happen.
>inb4 Kylo is irredeemable because he killed his father
Han killed himself to save Kylo from fully committing to the dark side.

>no u r an dumbo

>we're both on Sup Forums... we're both fucking dumb

>>inb4 Kylo is irredeemable because he killed his father
well... I'd say Kylo is irredeemable because he killed his father. Sorry.

Reylo ain't gonna happen, she's gonna become a jedi and jedi don't date.

but.. I bet she's gonna craft herself a double bladed lightsaber. Blue or green, though.. idunno. Maybe white, because über jedi or some shit.

How DARE this movie NOT live up to my unrealistic and specific expectations?!?!?! My LIFE is RUINED by a FICTIONAL MOVIE being SHIT!

no it had to be admiral purple hair because she's a strong independent womyn

That would be kind of cool though.... a good guy Jedi with a dual-colored twin saber

add a slant of hurr-durr-teh-jooz, and you have Sup Forums in a nutshell.

I believe Han is the one that ignited Kylo's lightsaber. That is why Kylo said "Thank you". Han didn't look shocked or angry or sad. Han wouldn't honestly believe he was getting off that bridge alive.

she's a total badass with a quarter staff, we know that much, so it would only be fitting.

>dual-colored twin saber
hmmm.. that might be a tad gay, but then again.. it's almost 2018 and shit, and it would piss of Sup Forums to no end. I'm for it.

Honestly, the movie is a non-stop cock tease and would have been lightyears better with ANY payoff. It's deliberately designed to deny you any payoff for all of the characters.

Finn would have been a great character sacrificing himself for the rebellion. Instead Rose fucked it up.

Leia should have been the one piloting the cruiser. It would have been a great send off, and a final fuck you to the empire. Rebellious to the end. But no, we get her 'friend' doing that for her.

Also, Leia's friend (purple hair), is dumb for not telling her soldiers the plan. That is how you get mutinies. She literally kills the majority of the people because Poe sends Finn and Rose on a mission that they DID NOT even need to do because of this. Yeah Poe was acting without orders, but that was because he had no clear orders.

Imagine if in ESB, Leia accidentally pulled the plug on the ion cannon and got some of the transports blown up. That is what this movie feels like.

Luke should have fucking trained Rey instead of being a dumbass old shit. They could have kept the whole Luke-Kylo thing but have him learned some lessons from the books and shit about being a better Jedi, and then passed it on to Rey instead of driving her to the dark side.

Fuck, I would have been excited for the next movie if Rey and Kylo had teamed up. Then they would have actually been going somewhere. Instead, I just get a re-hash of ESB and ROTJ, with the same music and beats, but with no payoff.

I don't think Han ignited it.. and Kylo saying thank you, was he's way of rejoicing that he finally (or so he thought) had proven to Snoke that he was fully given to the dark side.

Hahaha, it would be fitting... but, I agree, it would be kinda gay.

It will probably be blue, considering she has Luke's old blue kyber crystal... or it'll be some weird imperfect saber like Kylo's

They got Luke completely wrong.
3 whole movies were dedicated to Luke going from a farm boy to a Jedi master. He starts out a little whiney sure, but when he realizes at the sand crawler where the Jawas are massacred, jumps in the speeder and races home to try and save his aunt and uncle. He isn't armed, he isn't a Jedi, he rushes to save his aunt and uncle because that's his nature. He ends up on the Death Star and finds out the princess is there. He doesn't think oh well and let's go hang out on the Falcon until Obi-Wan comes back, he wants to go rescue her. He ends up on Yavin and decides to go fight the giant space station. When he's on Dagobah training with Yoda, he stops what he's doing to run to save his friends. Return of the Jedi, he kills the giant slug crime lord to save his best friend and then goes through the task of saving his evil father because he sensed some good on him. And now in the Last Jedi, I'm supposed to believe that with the empire scattered, the resources of the New Republic, he senses just some evil in his nephew. And he goes completely against his nature that is established by 3 movies?

I think it would have been far better than whatever fuckup disney will shit out next. It would have been AMAZING to see 'good' and 'evil' work together to piece the galaxy back together and stabilize it. But that isn't happening.

If luke is a hologram that cant be tuched how the fuck did he and leia hold hands? (pic related it's them holding hands)

same way kylo and rey did in their force DMs

You didn't notice how she looks at him like, "wtf like you're a hologram?!?!"

The biggest plot hole in original Star wars was why exactly Obi-Wan & Yoda just cower in hiding while the galaxy goes to shit under empire rule. So of course they make Luke do the same thing.

Luke Skywalker is probably the most iconic hero in cinema of the last 40 years. So the send him off by having him abandon his friends, spend the whole movie arguing the merits of sitting on his ass and letting the Galaxy rot, and then he dies from - I don't even know what to call that shit - holo-projection-pathic suicide? And don't get me started the supposedly greatest rebellion pilot commits treason only to find out he fucked up & allowed thousands of people get slaughtered. To which Leia thinks he's still pretty good guy! Early 1980's Leia would have put his dumb ass in the stockade

That is why Mark Hamil completely disagreed with Luke's portrayal in the movie. I give Mark mad props for pulling off the performance he did though.

by far the worst star wrs movie, spits in the face of the original trilogy.

Luke, everything he did in the movie felt wrong, why would he try and kill kylo just because he felt darkness, on dagobar he felt the darkness within himself. him dying made no sence, clearly mark hamil just wants out of this piece of shit trilogy

Snoke, who the fuck is he? why is he this ultra powerful sith lord that nobody has been able to feel or has heard about, o wait he is dead with no explanation of anything. hey maybe that will mean kylo and rey will team up, o wait...

MaRey, the most powerful character ever in star wars, has never been trained or show anything. there were prophecies about how powerful anakin was and he still needed years of training, but MaRey Sue can just do everything better than anyone.

Leia, never trained to use or sharpen her force skills, manages to fly and stop all the blood and oxygen from leaving her body, something that has never been done in the series, this pissed me off so much, carrie fisher is dead, why didn't they just let her character die?

Rose, cringie but fine, no worse than jarjar, ewoks, c3po or chewie

Holdo, contributed nothing but time wasting to the movie, worse than useless

the comedy, cringe, but all star wars "comedy" is cringie, nobody asked or wanted it

MaReys parents, im glad they were not important, even if she was the reincarnated jedi god or what ever, gives no excuse to why she is so powerful

Captain Phasma, did awesome for what little time she had, despite the directors and producers hating her.

Last jedi and force awakens are utter garbage, even the PREQUELS were better, much better, at least the characters motivations, directions, story and theming were correct. ill take jar jar and mediclorians over MaRey sue and shitting over luke any day of the fucking week, at least the prequels didn't dance on the OT's grave and shit in it.

Not a hologram, a force projection. Telekinesis is a thing in the SW universe, so it would have been as if he was touching her.

>It will probably be blue, considering she has Luke's old blue kyber crystal... or it'll be some weird imperfect saber like Kylo's
sounds plausible.. unless, consider this: in Rogue One Jynn Erso is rumaging through the files in the empire mainframe looking for the blueprint to the death star, and she pulls out a file and reads it like "hmm... dark saber?" and ditches it and goes on looking.

they're hinting at the existence of the dark saber, so.. maybe Kylo will retrieve that from somewhere, and if he does Rey better get herself a white lightsaber .

EPIC BATTLE OMG SO SYMBOLIC AND SHIT

no srsl, it would be awesome.

Rian Johnson is a dumb fucking faggot thats how.

Rey+Kylo is as retarded as a movie can get
this whole movie was a retard idea

I thought the pacing of the film was remarkably well for how long the film was. Wasn't parts of the movie where I was like jesus how long is this thing. Wanted to see rey lift the xwing out of the water big disappointment.

Meh

i really have nothing to contribute i'd just like to say that the scene where leia forced pulled herself like jesus was hilarious

oh, ffs, there is always the autistic one that can't argue properly...

Episode VII and VIII weren't bad movies, but they weren't starwars movies either. They both have felt like desperate atempts to find some one size fits all formula so that Disney can turn them out quickly. I get that the writing has never been the strong suit of the series, bit episode VII was on a level of meh that I didn't know existed until now. As much as I love starwars I wish that I had never seen these new movies(I liked rouge one). FN's actor was a lot better in this movie though

>dah jooooz
hi there Sup Forums, nice to see and all, but your shits getting kinda old.

Anyone else see Snoke's ring? That is a black kyber crystal. You know what else a black kyber crystal? The darksaber. The only black lightsaber in the universe.
The darksaber is Snoke's. He's still alive. Also Snoke is possibly Mace Windu

Fucking niggers and fat asians. Nuff said....

The darksaber is just a lightsaber used to identify the leader of the Mandalorians. There's nothing special about it and the callback in Rogue One was just that: a callback. Nothing about it is special other than it's black and looks like an actual blade.

The mandalorians didn't make the darksaber. They stole it.

one more thing remember when luke like dusted his shoulder, yeah that was hilarious in a cringey way

>Reylo
Yuck
>Luke's Death
Terrible
>Snoke's Death
Who?
>Snokes identity/past?
What?
>What you liked
Visuals were okay
>What you did not like
Political agendas
>That one Leia Scene
Too stupid for words
>Rose
Who? The Asian girl? She sucked
>Vice Admiral Holdo
She was a bitch and they only played her up as a hero for tumblrina masturbation material
>The comedy
Where?
>Rey's Parents/Past
She's a Mary Sue and literally nothing about her character is elaborated upon in this movie
>Captain Phasma
Chrome Dome? What a waste...

There was a darksaber reference in rogue one? When? Do you have a YouTube clip?

I doubt that Snoke survived, unless he's Darth Plaguis (immortallity and shit) and I seriously doubt he's Mace Windu.

but the darksaber, yes. Black Kyber crystal, good catch user.

Interesting, I never noticed the "Dark saber" scene...
I could see Disney going that route, too... and, I would be okay with it!

To be honest, he wouldn't have fucked up at all if Holdo had fucking told him the plan. To run until they were out of space gas would have been the death of everyone. He was 100% right in asking her for the plan, and there was NO reason she couldn't tell people that they were off to a hidden rebel base and they were going to ditch the cruiser for cloaked transports at the last second.

Poe is straight up acting like a leader fucking should: he gives a fuck about everyone, and yeah it may be a last ditch effort, but it is better than everyone dying, which was Holdo's STATED plan.

Holdo, as the leader, is 100% responsible for both the mutiny and the fucked up Finn/Rose plan. If she had just told people what they were doing, it would have ALL been avoided and the movie would be better for it.

you're in the club and this guy slaps your girls ass. what do you do?

see
>in Rogue One Jynn Erso is rumaging through the files in the empire mainframe looking for the blueprint to the death star, and she pulls out a file and reads it like "hmm... dark saber?" and ditches it and goes on looking.

go into exile.

kek

dont blame you. look at those pecs!

You all care too much about a movie I swear. Just watch it, if you liked it great, if not well sorry to hear but it's not the end of the world chill

Jews own disney, disney made this movie, how do you not get this?
go back to getting fucked in the ass by niggers

Where did Anakin learn to become a force ghost and if force ghost Yoda can summon lighting and destroy stuff, why haven't all the force ghosts been helping out?

Snoke and his fuzzy gold slippers were both force projections, like Luke. Compare how he looks in TFA and how he looks in TLJ. He looks younger and is missing quite a few scars. Check out 0:46 on this video. No one just walks around like that. Look at his fucking spine. That very well could be an injury Mace Windu sustained in the fall. He was still alive when he fell out. Listen to him grunt.

youtu.be/3R1VbSn_deA

what, people can't talk about a movie? it might seem crazy but maybe they like star wars and they want the movies to be good? it might just be me but i like it when movies are good.

Didn't catch that. Good thing it's on Netflix. I've been meaning to rewatch it anyway. Thanks.

maybe Disney should make a better movie if you dont like people hating it.

All I wanna know is how did Rey know the crystal critters were comming from the back of the base?

I don't give a shit about your jews or your niggers, this is Sup Forums not Sup Forums.

deal with it.

The whole tension about the movie was really dumb. What I mean is that why would a faction like The First Order field their flag ship against a force that could hardly take one one or two Resurgent-class vessels. And that chase lasted about 16 hours, why did command not think to position another fleet to land in fornt of the resistance cruiser. Or theres the fact that Snokes ship should have thousands of TIE fighters and bombers. They could have launched those and just killed them that way.

Whole series is a boring carbon copy of original series

Disney too scared of making a new panned trilogy

Boring and pretty shit tbh. Effects and prior interest are the only qualities anyone sees in this

>Snoke and his fuzzy gold slippers were both force projections
then how could the saber cut him in half? A trick? Was Kylo in on it, or did Snoke play him?

I think Snoke is Darth Plaguis, and will return as a dark force ghost.

Leia scene was beyond fucking stupid.(everyone i talk to says wtf was that)

lukes death was alright but i wish luke had done more in the movie.

snokes death was fucking stupid as well wtf. hoping the fucking theories that he isn't dead are true. (I thought he was gonna be some super duper strong sith)

phasma was the greatest disappointment in all of SW

only cool thing was Admiral Holdo an heroing

fuck this movie man

While I still enjoyed it I have to to agree it was so disrespectful to lore in some scenes. But then again it doesn’t even come close to how Phantom Menace broke lore.

>Jar Jar is the key to all of this

>Rose is the chink in the armor of this new film

It’s true. I think we can all agree that the lore boundaries were chucked out the window as soon as JarJar opened his face Pussy.

>the lore boundaries
the what?

Disney makes children's movies.

If you don't like where Star Wars is going, it's because you're not a child any more.

I liked Star Wars as a kid, I don't give a rat fuck about it anymore. Same as Harry Potter; we loved it, and now think it's lame as fuck.

Yawn.

What about the Knights of Ren, I was excited when like said Kylo ran off with a few of the students

minus about 45 minutes, it was an awesome move.
Also gets the most epic use of lightspeed of all star wars movies.

the single biggest thing that hurt The Last Jedi was fan expectations.

>Reylo
Was interesting to see them interact, more than just being she's good, he's bad, hate eachother.
>Luke's death
Handled pretty well. The Force projection ending up killing him after being "disconnected" from the force makes sense.
>Snoke at all
Completely wasted
>What you liked
Overall the film was decent, felt like its own story unlike TFA.
>What you did not like
Poe messing with Hux lasted too long, That one Leia scene, Snoke seemed cool but, then it's over.
>That one Leia scene (you know the one)
A spoonful of midichlorians doesn't make the medicine go down.. She should have died.
>Rose
Meh
>Vice Admiral Holdo (the purple haired girl)
She seemed cool, but, ultimately stupid
>The comedy
Other than the Hux/Poe thing like I said, it was alright.
>Rey's parents/past
Still a mystery, never know what might come out of it
>Captain Phasma
If she's dead, the character wasn't worth the concept art.

true

Yes but it was the first Mandalorian Jedi that made the dark saber, so technically speaking its Mandalorian

How is phasma more disappointing than Boba fett

I never understood why so many people were so crazy about either of them, back then and today.

Kind of unrelated, but I want to see a live action Ahsoka in episode 9.

This is him giving her those weird dice, that were projections also and later dissapeared
