There's no need to be salty about it

it was

>oh shit we need to get on a planet for a planet battle fuck fuck fuck I wasted so much screentime on this casino shit fuck fuck fuck

It felt like it originally ended in the throne room, but they realized they needed another big sequence. That's why Rey is almost entirely absent, Leia is brought back even though she's not needed, it's a nostalgia rehash, forced romance, etc etc.

Dont forget
>fuck fuck fuck we need to have a lightsaber duel but just destroyed the only other lightsaber and Rey doesnt know how to make one and Luke's gone and the original texts are destroyed but thats the next director's problem fuck fuck fuck

Hadn't crossed my mind but yeah where the hell is Rey getting her new lightsaber from

...

>bizarre
the alien animal stampede sequence
new force powers that are fucking ridiculously overpowered. Seriously, if the dark side can tele-project too then the fucking wars over. Bye bye Jedi. That's a major tactical advantage that allows a single force user to disrupt an entire battalion, as shown in the movie.
Broom kid's powers. Who the fuck was he?
>forced
the act in OP's image
Luke tuning out the force and becoming a hermit.
Kylo-Rey skype connection, even if it was by Snoke, who fucked himself over because of it. Nice job, bad guy.
>unnecessary
Broom kid. Who the fuck was he? I know he's not going to be in the next movie, so why the fuck was he in this one showing us his force powers. I'm done.

It was about this point I mentally checked out entirely. It was pretty though.

Luke made his own on his own. Lightsabers aren't some ancient Jedi technology. It's like saying that only samurai know how to make swords.

My biggest problem with it is that it felt like a dozen imperials versus a dozen rebels. Felt very low stakes.

yeah it's a suicide mission

Yeah.

Like, they couldve killed the rebels with one swift stroke, and then focused on holo-Luke.

Luke only made his own in (a deleted scene from) RotJ after receiving training from Yoda. Luke definitely didnt teach Rey anything about making one seeing as he chucks his father's lightsaber the minute it's given to him. He hates them now

Also it literally is ancient Jedi tech because it requires you to get crystals that are force-sensitive and your inner abilities choose the color. But that part isn't official canon anymore so we'll see

We'll get another epic SUBVERSION in IX where Disney will show us that lightsabers are just another dusty old relic and you should let the past die and that staffs are just as valid

That power is actually from the EU books so I liked it. It's also pretty esoteric and only a master like Luke could use it like that

I thought it was force ghost Yoda calling in the lightning. It isnt very clear in the film. They both agree the books suck and then the lightning comes

Rey has the books on the MF

So Rey swiped the books?

>Luke talks to Yoda and destroys where he assumes the books are
So that's yet another scene that has absolutely no value

It's Star Wars. The whole thing exists to show battles in space or on alien planets. It is literally impossible for a such a battle to be out of place in a Star Wars movie.

but the books are in the falcon at the end under the blanket? yoda was just covering for rey or did I miss something? yoda said that to drive home a point to luke as well.

I said this in a thread yesterday, but if I know mouse bullshit she's going to make a double bladed saber using the crystals from Anakin and Luke's lightsabers.

And yet they manage to have a battle on an alien planet that feels conpletely out of place. Such an ironic trainwreck can only be considered art.

Exactly. That's presumably why yoda was laughing his ass of, he was essentially pranking luke.

She never had Luke's lightsaber as far as I know, and Anakin's was destroyed and she escaped without getting anything from it. But i'm sure a quick "oh I grabbed these" line will fix that plothole if it comes up in IX

It's still a scene that does nothing for the film or story.

Wher exactly is lukes lightsaber anyway? Did he just throw it away?

There are 14 authors fighting to get "salt planet" added to the "death type planets" lore.

Fuck the EU crap, good riddance.

But your expectation that the books were destroyed was subverted. That's true art only a man like rian johnson could create

>wasting the audience's time is art

It was one of my favorite parts of the movie. I like Sand Planet

t. David Lynch

>Sand Planet
It's called Crait, and unsurprisingly, it has a detailed lore cataloged on the star wars wiki the moment the film came out, so Disney could pretend they planned anything related to this
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crait

>Anakin's was destroyed and she escaped without getting anything from it
There was a shot at the end of her holding the halves, and you could see the crystal in it

>infantry do nothing
>ski-speeders doing a frontal assault in a single line close formation
You can tell women wrote this trash. At least you can argue its an accurate portrayal of a female led resistance army.

>That power is actually from the EU books
I never read any of those books. I'm seeing something completely new on the screen and I'm wondering why has no one done this before? But apparently it kills you, so I guess that's why. Did Luke not know that, though? He seemed kind of surprised when he pushed himself to the limit. In the books is it instant death?

To be fair I dont recall the infantry on Hoth doing

Yoda knew that Rey took the books, but told Luke that it didn't matter whether or not she has them because there's nothing in the books that she doesn't already know.

I heard a rumor a while ago that Rey is supposed to be a reincarnation of the first (or one of the first) Jedi, hence why she recalls seeing the island in her dreams.

At least they fired weapons and used defence turrets. They and the pilots destroyed some walkers. In this all they do is die and eat the floor.

Once it was revealed they had an instrument to break down their fortifications everything seemed kind of pointless to me. I doubt its their only one.

When are we going to get a star wars character who is actually balanced between light and dark? All this talk about balance "you need light and dark" but the moment someone even leans from pure light its "I'm afraid. I cant teach you anymore"

David Lynch knows how to tell a more cohesive story

Luke Skywalker in the OT was this. At the end of RotJ Luke still has plenty of dark side in him. He beats the shit out of Vader but stops, what matters is that he can control his impulses and make the right decision. All of this "You need a dark side user and light side user to be the same power levels for things to be balanced" is NuTrilogy bull shit

But Luke never had "dark side" powers. Just the downside (anger). Is there a character in star wars that can shoot lightning without being a total cunt (aside from dead Yoda)

Do you want just from the movies or will you take the EU?

Force choke is a dark side power. And Luke used it onto gamorian guards at the same time. That's a 2 x power scale from Vader who could only use it on one target at a time.

It's because the movie had already gone on for like two fucking hours by that point so it felt like it was about time for it to end but it kept going for another half hour.

Same exact problem as Wonder Woman. Great movie, but by the two hour mark I'd had my fill. And then it goes on for a fucking half hour more because she's gotta fight Ares.

Two hours is generally the perfect movie length.

>shut the door!
>Oh no, there's a giant laser battering ram, we're sitting ducks!
Probably what made me roll my eyes most of all that movie.

The whole fuckin movie was bizarre forced and unnecessary

Or maybe tracked the only non-imperial ship leaving the planet from literally the other side of the mine.

>Everything in it was bizarre / forced / unnecessary
The whole movie did

Okay, this is a completely retarded criticism. REY HAS THE OLD JEDI TEXTS. You'd have to be an idiot to think they don't have instructions on how to make lightsabers.

The ones Yoda destroyed?

> Spaceballs is still an accurate parody of current Star Wars

Lets get this shit started
> Snoke

>turns bitching about a fantasy setting that never made sense to begin with into a misogynistic rant
lol, okay sweetie.
