Seeing as Luke's door on Ach-to was an X-wing s foil, how was his x-wing then automatically capable of space flight?
I'd be willing to bet money that wasn't thought of lol

For in-universe explanation, the door doesn't appear to be the whole s-foil, so perhaps just a panel of it was pryed off, leaving behind still a functional wing. I didn't notice if they showed Luke's x-wing reflecting that missing panel in TRoS but will look for it next viewing
 
On another note, our theater was only about 1/3 full. TFA and TLJ were packed... hopefully this sends a financial message...
I was in an IMAX theater last night and other than the very front row, it was sold out almost a month ago and totally packed.
Note: don't ever sit in the second row of an IMAX theater. It's all I could get and my neck is still hurting. What sadist decided anyone should see a movie screen that big, that close?
 
I felt like he wanted to tell her “he loved her”

My daughter was fully upset that Rey kissed Ben. Right then and there, out loud, she says, "I wanted her to be with Finn!" :lol:

So... as Palpatine was Rey's grandfather, and Palpatine is also probably Anakins Father (Force creation) does that make Ben her 1st cousin once removed?

I mean, I'm also in the camp that believes--whether it's canon or not--that Anakin was created by manipulation of the Force, but he's not genetically Palpatine's kid. So, it's on like Donkey Kong.

I’ll argue until I’m blue in the face... you can’t tell me that was the original plan...
 
This movie felt overlong and joyless. The biggest lifts I got were when Lando shows up and Wedge’s cameo.
All the ST players are still turning in good performances, they’re just buried in movies with rocky stories.
 
I thought Leias death was meaningful... last pull at Ben. Man I dug the scene with him and Han...

Going in I was thinking there was no way to pull of a Kylo redemption. First shot in the film and he was still murdering.

But it was pitch perfect the way it went down.

God I love Adam Driver.
 
What a boring movie. I didn’t feel anything at all for 95% of the movie. Some of the dialogue reached “I wish I could just wish away my feelings” level bad. The production design has been the worst of the trilogy, and the trilogy’s production design has been the worst of all the films. I felt like I was watching an anime version of Star Wars at the end, with flat characters performing impossible feats and spouting ridiculous lines, with “epic” practically scrawled on the walls. Carrie Fisher felt like a dead body on marionette strings. I wouldn’t be surprised if John Williams hadn’t been paid for this film, because I don’t think I heard a single piece of new music. They made Mark Hammil look like Fat Thor, rather than a noble Jedi. They had a brief flashback to some Jedi training from the OT era, and the face-replacements for Mark and Carrie are like bad deep fakes. For all the comments about how “at least the Emperor will be fun to watch”, what a disappointment. His voice was so altered, and his make-up so bad, it hardly seemed like the same character. All in all, it’s a bad film because it’s a boring one. I hate the prequels in every way, but I’d watch Revenge of the Sith any day over IX ever again.
 
I liked it.
But as said before, how the hell did Maz come to posses Luke's saber? The even asked the question in TFA with a promise of an answer later.
 
TFA: Han dies
TLJ: Luke dies
TROS: Leia dies

What was the point of bringing them all back just to kill them off one by one?

It just breaks my heart.

:(
I will never forgive them for not putting our core group, Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie (Mayhew), Threepio, Artoo, and hell, why not Lando too, together for at least one of the movies. It was something us older fans thought we'd never see. JJ and co. made sure we never would.
 
& that Luke's hut on Ahch-To had a door made from a wing of his X-Wing

To be a little fair, the doorway was a small piece of metal, probably a covering over a section of the wing, and not the full wing itself (which is huge).

Another thing: uhhh... did a chimp fix Kylo's helmet?!
Space chimps!

I want to know if the son was alive during Rotj...
Considering the timeline and the ages shown, I would assume he was.

Yeah. No real details, but the approximate age of the actor in the flashback implies the emperor conceived his son well after becoming emperor, which is grody.
Don’t know who would find RoTJ paps sexy enough to touch him..
Never underestimate the influence of power and money.

So Luke totally had hair extensions or something right? His hair looked weird in the Ach-to scenes.
Yeah, that was definitely a bad wig.

Having both The Ghost and Kanan's voice in this film were nice touches.
I still would like to know who was flying the Ghost. Wonder if it was Jacen.

Hope no one decided to play this game…you’d die from liver failure…
 
I really enjoyed it. I don' think it messed with much of TLJ besides the lineage thing but I think it was handled in a way that added to the movie. It was breakneck speed but that is Star Wars. I skipped like 7 pages of this cause we are back to people crying about their childhoods again but I did want to answer this question i saw.

"Anyone know why all the other star destroyers around the galaxy started blowing up when they got the others in the system?? "

Those were First Order SDs that were probably getting attacked. Lando says everyone is rising up to Poe when he gets there.
