Star Wars: The Last Jedi **Spoilerriffic Thread**

Agreed. Some people are never going to be happy no matter what they do. I went full black out before the film (knowing nothing going in) I’m starting to think I need to go full black out after films I enjoy too. So much hate and negativity everywhere I look.
I've been pretty much doing that for nearly eight years. I go into most movies completely fresh. I saw nothing of The Last Jedi. The hardest for me was not watching anything of The Dark Knight Rises. That was a full year from trailer to release. I watched the trailer one time when it was released and skipped around watching it.
I've got to see the movie again, but they touched on the whole balance thing a few times. At one point Snoke says to Rey something like "Darkness rises and the light rises to meet it".
It was almost like as one side gets power, the other does the same. Did Luke just fail and want to go away, or did he know if he tried to rebuild the Jedi Order that it would only make the dark side stronger? (maybe I'm reading way more into it lol).
There was also a part where Del Toro's character says something like "next time they'll be blowing you up".
It made me feel like the conflict was just going to be constant and never ending.
That was my take away from this as well. Doesn’t matter what you do in this universe there will always be good and evil. One side wins and the other will return. Seems like Luke figure that out and saw that the Jedi failed and no matter what he does it wouldn’t change anything going forward. Maybe now Rey and these new Force users throughout the galaxy can finally make that change.
You just made me realize Luke wanted the Jedi to end but changed his mind in the end - yet Kylo wanted the Jedi (and everything else) to end, and didn't change his mind in the end.
sooooooooooooooooooo............. you guys are saying they pretty much made this into "the legend of korra" where they retcon some of the avatars past an kept the same overall theme, there will always be a struggle for between good and evil, whether they, the jedi/avatar, want-to/like or not
And they’re edibleor convert you into vegetarians
They're full of Midichlorians, which are like.... Jedi Force vitamins.
Mace Windu needs to come back, train up Finn, and give him the light saber that says "Bad Motherfcker" on it.
Seriously though, Mace Windu didn't hesitate in trying to kill Palpatine while Luke strangely decided to it was all futile and let Snoke run amok freely.

Also true and weird.
I don't know wtf is the deal with this random character. Most of the spotlight has been put on Rey, but Finn walked away with his life fighting Kylo with a lightsaber.
I'm holding out hope that Finn plays a surprise curveball role in these movies or curiously he fills the role Anakin was supposed to by bringing balance. Finn has been both a Storm Trooper and a Rebel fighter. Sometimes a coward, yet sometimes a hero and strong fighter.

You're right. Also In TFA Snoke says there has been an awakening after Finn breaks free of the brainwashing, Rey's force sensitivity hadn't emerged yet. Maz giving him the Lightsaber also kinda hinted that he was force sensitive as well. In TLJ his character was probably screwed the most since he was turned into mostly comic relief.
I was also thinking Laura Dern should have been in the next movie directed by David Lynch.
The INLAND EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
The INLAND EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Actually David Lynch nearly directed Return of the Jedi, but he still felt burned by how DUNE was handled.
The resistance cruiser had something like 18 hours of fuel right? Around a day then with the first evacuation and the battle on crait.
The days on ach-to must be significantly shorter because rey was there for about 2 nights I think. Excepting travel time, but it's star wars, whatever.
Nothing so bad as the starkiller shot from awakens at least.
to my impressions: I quite enjoyed the movie. I live and breathe star wars, love and hate plenty of it. But I really liked this one. This entry kept me guessing.
I'm with others on the snoke confusion. Why kill off the most powerful villain we've ever seen halfway through a trilogy? I don't find it a bad decision, just a bewildering one. Suppose it was to play up Ren. Gotta wonder if there were any solid lines for the directors to follow. Did rian johnson ruin everything abrams had planned or what? And still waiting on those "knights of ren." With JJ coming back maybe they'll finally show up.
One thing I'm not a fan of, this movies "big picture" with the Republic being completely destroyed. One planet and a few capital ships blow up and suddenly the galaxies militaries are useless. Gonna put my loser cap on and point out how Corellia (that's where Han is from) has a standing military at all times because they insist on maintaining a degree of independence from the ruling party, empire or republic. That's just one planet, surely there are others out there. Rather than expanding the universe, it feels like the galaxy got much smaller.
The story within the movie: fine, even great to me. The indirect story of what's happening outside the movie: irksome.
