I call dibs on the fan fiction!

pitch! So this jedi wannabe that Luke turned away is looking for revenge. The kid didn’t have the force, he was just was really tech savvy (making something like a lightsaber...marking a power glove to levitate)

He’s basically that guy from incredibles

Anyway, as revenge on the Jedi, he builds a “SITH-A-TRON 3000” made up of all leftover Mechanical crap from disappearing Jedi.

I am ready to shoot this summer lets do this

You say I cherry picked to fit my narrative and I say you only proved my point. What a lame cop out to make such a grand statement to one audience and not have the resignation to do it for another instead of just staying out of it altogether. So U.S. LGBQT people deserve representation but not the Singapore ones for "reasons". Sure. Oh, Disney dont make R rated films, how convenient.

Almost every movie made is edited for international audiences. Sometimes violence is toned down, sometimes sex. Sometimes changes are made for contextual reasons so the story will play better to a given audience. Sometimes the changes are made because otherwise a film will be heavily restricted or banned.

Almost. Every. Movie.

To pretend that this was some hollow gesture that Disney caved to is to be willfully ignorant. Star Wars is meant to be intended for the widest possible audience. It has never pretended not to be from day one. If it had been necessary to trim some aspect of violence in order to play in Singapore, you would not be making a fuss about it.

So yes, you are cherry picking.

Oh, man...

I just accidentally stumbled across an online discussion between a number of distraught Reylos. I take it all back. The discourse here could be so, so much worse. This place feels like a safe refuge from..... that. :lol:

Dear Lord...they REALLY exist??

I thought the “Reylos” were the stuff of legend and myth, like the Sasquatch, Loch Ness Monster, and an acceptable script from “Star Trek: Discovery”...
 
Husband and I saw the film today. It was... fine. We both enjoyed it. His comment was that he was relieved it was better than the Last Jedi, but disappointed it wasn't more cohesive.. There were just so many things that had me going "That's not how this works..." It didn't destroy the movie for me, but it definitely tempered my enjoyment to see so weird, random things going on.

I really liked Babu Frick, the new DO droid ("No, thank you!" made me giggle every time), and Keri Russell's character Zorii. The riding animals actually made sense to be included in the climactic battle, which was nice, and finally seeing the saber Leia made for herself was also good.

My primary complaints were the Force teleportation (blahblahdyadblah, whatever... it was stupid), lightspeed skipping (does EVERY ship now have not only a hyperdrive but the ability to track through hyperspace? Small ships like TIES don't even have space for life support, but whatever...), and the fact that all those bastards at the end couldn't be bothered to come when Leia called for reinforcements, but now that Lando's back on the scene, everyone comes running? Ugh.

Anywho... as I said, overall, I did enjoy it. Hopefully, I will enjoy it more as I see it additional times when it hits streaming.
 
You can tell the story was not subtle.

George never intended for Darth Vader to be lukes father. Yet once it was incorporated, it contradicted a comment obi wan stated in that DV killed his father. So they made Obi see it from a "certain point of view"

Obi-Wan was already established as being a bit manipulative, especially by Owen Lars.

Kylo Ren however has been established as someone who tells the truth. In TLJ he was certain Rey's parents were not of importance because Rian Johnson pushed the idea that force wielders shouldn't have lineage. I mean yeah i agree, but when she whoops the ass of a descendant of DV, that's a problem. (some people tried to defend her being badass by brining up Yoda. Because it's not like his prime was when he would've practiced the force for over 300 years.) Then a mysterious force caused him to backtrack and say that maybe he's lying.

You can tell they weren't subtle in redacting the "drunks selling kids for alcohol
Although i never understood why she would have a flashback in TFA of a ship if her last memories of her parents would've been at a bar, Rian. I believe JJ planned it from the start but Rian scrapped it. Just waiting for Simon Prgg's confrimation since he knew her lineage from TFW.

Urgh...this is godawful. BUT this is exactly why I stayed well away from opening weekends and **** like that and waited for the movie to be out for a couple of weeks when there’s usually a handful of people with me. Unless it’s something like Secret Cinema I want to be in the theatre to enjoy a movie and not to be at a rock concert. And tbf this same ***** was documented in all bloody SW movies, saying that “it became a Reylo pandering Twilight loving whatnot” is disingenuous IMO. People were screaming when lightsabers were flipped out back in the day, real hardcore older super fans were pulling their hair out yelling when they were finally admitted to the theatre etc.
I’m 33, last time I checked very much male and never seen or read Twilight but I was craving a bit of heart in this trilogy. I would have preferred if them two buggered off to Tatooine while the rest of the gang believed them both dead. The ET-esque sacrifice-healing was pretty predictable and I was kinda happy to see them kiss and “my expectations subverted” until the bloke dropped dead. Then I was like oh, back on schedule then methinks.
But yea these screaming morons should not be allowed to be in public. :lol:

So sad to see the Sequel Trilogy being reduced to a dick measuring contest between two directors.

Agree with you completely. The exposition was really rushed, no real impact was felt because it was a total 180 out of the blue. It’s one of those things that I’m certain was to be in ep 8 or at least built up towards it but Rian thought otherwise. There really is just no point in suddenly inventing that Rey is Palpatine unless it was something that JJ felt like “I’m gonna put it in anyway”, it really isn’t a natural progression from TLJ. I’m still so baffled how ep8 was allowed to do whatever it wanted.

So, what is the consensus here? Should he have is normal hand or the mech one?

No idea? I know there was big controversy that his robot hand didn’t fall and land on the rock when he died

...but if that was the case wouldn’t all their cloths stay in the real world too and the ghosts would appear to Luke bare ass?

Idk.. it’s all pick and choose I think

JJ was doing so much damage control he probably thought of that

“Don’t show lukes hand, I don’t need more internet nerds giving me a hard time!”

“Throw in the holdo maneuver line! That fixes everything!”

Lol

When look at why Rian wrote that it makes sense. He said he looked at Luke at realized that in that moment after getting his hand cut off, the hardest the hardest thing for him to hear was that Vader was his father. So he thought what's Rey's equivalent? In the first two films Rey wants to be Rey somebody, so the hardest thing for her hear in that moment is that she is a nobody.

And honestly I like how its played out, poor Rey has just learned how accept that she is nobody, when Ben comes along knocking her feet from under her and telling her, actually you are a somebody, that being the granddaughter of the most evil man in the galaxy.

I'm thinking that Reylos don't even understand what Reylo is actually about.

Ben and Rey are somewhat of a reverse of Anakin and Padme. Ben literally does what his grandfather could not, saving the one he loved from death. And he showed that he had true selfless love, for there is no great love than the love that prompts one person to give their life to another. His death and becoming one with the Force is incredibly more powerful, then the two of them going off to make babies.....and living "happily ever after"
