It's salt

It's salt...

its NOT HOTH

> salt
> not calling it space nitrates

There was literally no payoff from that detail.

That's what I said! Sodium Chloride.

They had a case of the not Hoths.

It was to make sure people knew it wasn't hoth and that this was a 100% ORIGINAL DO NOT STEAL battle.

...

mmm let carrie know its fishscale quality
she can come outside now

*sips*
It's salt

What was their objective with the speeders? Kamikaze them into the cannon? I don't I saw them shoot at the First Order once with them

...

It's tape...

The speeders accomplished nothing. This whole sequence was an ultimate example of style over substance. It's all flashy references to the battle of Hoth that add very little to the plot.

>GUYS LOOKS IT'S SALT NOT SNOW ISN'T THIS NEW PLANET INTERESTING IT'S TOTALLY NOT ANOTHER SNOW PLANET LOL

Why did you remind me user

>...What?

>Uh Rian, no one’s gonna fucking understand why there’s red shit flying around in this scene
>Just have some nigga call it salt lmao

What is Gareth Edwards doing there

> Uh Rian, shouldn't the fact that the script calls out it's salt lead to an important development involving that detail in the battle?
> LMAO WHO CARES TURN UR BRAIN OFF

Yeah, didn't he already have a cameo as another rebel in Rogue One?

...

>payoff

They were going to fly single-file down the barrel of the giant cannon and clog its mechanism with their dead.

Buy time for them to look for an exit?

I really have no idea

>Hey, Rian. These scenes we've been shooting the past couple days, uhhh...some of the boys and I are getting a little bit peeved that its a little too similar to that snow planet from Empire an' that y'know
>Rian snorts white substance from table
>NO WORRIES BRO
>"On Top Of The World" by Imagine Dragons starts playing
>ITS SALT NOT SNOW

not so fast flyboy

Yeah don't worry kids it's not dried blood or anything.

GOD speed salt, GOD speed.

Real talk: The white salt over the red rock looked really cool during explosions

>Finn tears of his headset, ignoring orders
>Music stars to swell a bit
>Oh shit
>I'm actually invested in the film all of a sudden
>Finn n- Oh...
>"...By saving the things we love..."

I should have just walked out when Yoda showed up.

YOURE SUPPOSED TO PRESS THE BUTTOMS WITH PICTURES OF FOOD ON THEM

>guy about to save the resistance and buy them ample amounts of time to regroup and come up with a plan
>"Nah bro, I love you even though ive only known you for 6 hours. Imma crash into you speeder possibly killing both of us"

Worst and most pointless character ever

Imagine gutting injured and falling to the floor whilst having an open wound on not!hoth

beb

Real reason for Rose to stop him

>Luke Skywalker has to show up and save them

even a salt planet like not hoth isn't as salty as btfo star wars fags

t. rian johnson

They had to explain that shit or it would make no sense
The idea for the visuals predated the explanation no doubt

not seeing Luke's footprints was what this was set up for. And the visuals were pretty neat with the red tracks.

Good god he went down hill fast

>>I'm actually invested in the film all of a sudden

This. I was pissed when the chick saved him.

By leading you to think Finn was going to sacrifice himself and then pulling the rug out from under your feet, Rian Johnson was being a subversive, refreshing filmmaker.

whats better than any fan theory for Snoke? No snoke backstory. People are going to love it!

came here to post this, but you already did xDDDD
ecksdeeeeeee

That would have been funnier.

>Rebel gets shot
>Rolling around
>ARRRAAAHHHG! SALT! IT'S SALT ARRRGH
>*audience laughs haha*

Can't win every time, kiddo :^)

That Casino planet was one hell of a subversion.
I didn't think they'd have the guts to make a scene worse than the prequels but they did.

Just shows you how far they're willing to push this series.

Formally Sodium Chloride

this is not a joke.

Disney's plan is to combine the looks of the prequels with the look of the original trilogy in the next film. Thats why Canto Bight looks and feels prequel, and thats why the broom kids look that way too. They want tp please the OT audience and the PT losers... im not even kidding. The next film is gonna fail even worse.

oh man underrated af senpai

IT WAS SNOWING SALT, OKAY?

>heartfelt hashtags

It's "why so salty?" meme from 2015. Rian's a manchild trnya be hip with the millennilel crowd.

Yes, he subverted my expectations that something good might happen. Finn had no meaningful contributions to the film up to that point, and he was denied his only opportunity.

>IT'S NOT HOTH, GOY.
There's your payoff.

Damn. White women age like fresh dog doo doo.

LE EPIC SMILEY FACE XDDD

Just walk away.

What about the part where he faced Phasma?
What a pivotal moment for Finn to face and break away from his First Order ties.

>Hey
>Take that Chromedome
>Rebel scum
>Need a lift?

All in the span of about 20 seconds.
I'm glad they did something meaningful with Finn's character by putting a love interest in there too that isn't Rey, that doesn't segment the story or previous motives.

>phasma has almost no screen time despite being marketed as a major character
>"dont worry guys she'll have a bigger role in the next one"
>she has even less screen time and is killed by a quip
gg brienne

This is just how kino this movie is. Rian knew how it would be received before it came out, because he was subverting expectations. He directly references audience reactions in his own movie. At the same time, he knows his movie is good, so has the resistance fighter remain confident. Absolute pleb filter.

The resistance was defeated on a planet made of salt. Think about it.

Image taking a load of shrapnel to your back and failing over in the salt

just after the weakest take-down of capitalism we've ever seen in a film.

>at least we broke some windows
>the rich are so mad at us
>it was worth it we freed the animal

they had already raped his character. just let the boyega guy be heroic ffs commit to something

In its moment of Death Star Wars was full of hate for its former Fans

Was that a political statement on horse racing?

I can make this bit better
>soldier on cruiser spends the whole movie looking for salt on the cruiser for his food or whatever
>there's no salt
>gives up in anger and leaves his food behind when they evacuate
>they're in the trench
>his buddy goes "tfu it's salt"
>DAHH THE WHOLE PLANET IS SALT

>What if it's a reference to the fan base from Rian

Even though a character in an earlier scene already commented that the planet is covered in salt?

Mhmm...
It's gunpowdah...

It is imo, same as "that was a cheap move"

>salty planet occupied by a group of rebels - feminists, sjws and cucks

nice pottery there

>Cocaine

Expectations
SUBVERTED

A pepper planet would've been more interesting.

Is salt the opposite of snow?

>free the spacehorses
>leave the slave children who will be forced to clean up all the shit they broke
truly we don't deserve such heroes

*ding*

Unironically would have made the movie better.

Holy shit that made me chuckle slightly. That's why it wasn't in the movie.

this thread reeks like tumblr something is off here

It's Bold 2-1 Detergent & Fabric Softener. Twice the cleaning power of the next leading brand. Look how it removed these hard-to-remove blaster marks!

Why the fuck did that guy feel the need to taste the ground?

Can't wait for redditors to go to cons dressed as this guy and carrying cans of salt

>No capitalization
>No period
>No punctuation
>One straight sentence, no comma

Sure does.

Criminally underrated post.

You know, there would've been a clever turn of events if something came out of the "rich people sell to both the first order and resistance" where the war is a proxy war for profit before Kylo Ren fucks it all up and turns it into a proper war with everyone involved.

Pretty much this
>wow...theyre actually going to kill off one of the new people in an epic, meaningful way...
>UH OH HOTDOG!

Movie was like being blue balled for 2 and a half hours. Im just glad my nuts didnt hurt after it ended.

We need someone crazy enough like Logan Paul to travel to India, go to the designated shitting street to pick up the shit, taste it and say "Its shit. I'm not in America anymore"

Reminder that Logan Paul and his brother are jewish

>rich people sell to both the first order and resistance

That line doesn't even make sense in the scope of the films.
Look how big the Empire and First Order are. Why would they have a need to buy weapons from contractors? The larger ships build smaller ships. I think there's even a scene in the film where Ben is looking over the Tie factory.

And the Rebellion has all hand-me-down tech as well as being in contact with the former Republic for weapons and ships.

Where in the scope of the story did this line make sense to anyone writing this?
Did they think they were being clever by introducing a moral ambiguity to the wars?
You mean the wars that are meant to span an entire Galaxy?
Now the scope of the story feels stupid. Now it feels like there are these rich idiots on one-off planets and the First Order are just stupids chasing around a dead resistance.

I hate Rian Johnson so much.

>not seeing Luke's footprints was what this was set up for.
This. The fact that so many people think this scene is supposed to tell you it's not Hoth is the perfect example of how misguided all the criticism for the movie is.

I never thought I'd see the day when people wouldn't even be able to understand a Star Wars movie, but Sup Forums never fails to surprise me.

>episode 9 concludes on what appears to be a forest planet
>Resistance guy licks a tree
>"It's fungus"

No, that was written after. You could do that scene with any sort of land except grass.

I guarantee the planet wasn't drafted up in concept art after the fact that the team were told that they needed an planescape to subtly highlight that Luke would be an astral projection during his fight with Kylo.

Yeah we all know snow doesn't show footprints.

>not seeing Luke's footprints was what this was set up for.
This. The fact that so many people think this scene is supposed to tell you it's not Hoth is the perfect example of how misguided all the criticism for the movie is.
Why do you think that wouldn't happen on a layer of freshly fallen snow?
If it was fresh snow falling on red soil and you were walking across it you'd leave big muddy red footprints, it happens in real life
What's wrong with you?

This isn't Rian's fault this is JJs. Rian basically salvaged the shitpile. JJ is the guy that did LOST, one of the biggest carrot sticks of all television. He had no idea what the backstory for Snoke etc ever were.
