No, but now I do! lolWhen the guard wraps that chain thing round Reys blade and pulls her to him, did anyone else think ‘turn it off you ****!’?

Haha, yea. But to be fair chances are that ridiculous chain thing would probably have taken her hand if she did. I quite often thought during any lightsaber fight btw that they should just slide the blade down to the opponent’s wrist when locking blades instead of pushing t each other coz there’s no crossguard.@MooCriket. Dude, you’re on fire with your posts lately :cheers

Lobster Kabuki Dancers waiting for their cue to die.As other people already pointed out I have much bigger issues with the red guys spinning and dancing around for no reason.
How about the deleted scene where she sprints half a mile with the lightsaber on?Random "Damn that looked dumb" moment that popped into my head: When Rey was "training" with the lightsaber, just seemingly swinging it around randomly like a child does when they get their toy version...and I'm thinking, "This chick just defeated Kylo Ren in combat; how is this ridiculous looking moment supposed to carry any weight at all?"
Mind you, I'm truly over it. Truly. But it doesn't keep me from reflecting on the facepalm moments. :-\
• The film originally opened in a different way. After the crawl, the camera would pan down to Finn in a medical dome where he’d wake up as he does in the film, screaming for Rey. Then we would have seen the First Order arrive to destroy the Resistance through his eyes. This opening was scripted and actually shot, and parts of it were edited into the final movie, even though Johnson suspected it wasn’t dramatic enough early on. You can see this original opening on the home release.
One thing I can thank this movie for is making Tom Hardy a stormtrooper in that hilarious cut scene. I found most of the humor in the film downright cringeworthy but I actually laughed at that scene. I wish they left it in.Good Lord the deleted scenes make it even worse.
Almost every scene has some lame joke that had to be cut. Rey waving the lightsaber for the caretakers, Tom Hardy's slapstick stormtrooper, adjusting Rose's curls, Rose biting Hux. Then there's a full 6 minutes of Canto Bight cut. Why was it even visualized? Why was it shot? The doc goes on and on about what's essentially a fashion show of getting 100 extras ready for the Casino. They built this huge set for these sequences with no story value... it's mind boggling. It would be like going to Cloud City and then leaving in 30 mins because they couldn't find Lando.Good Lord the deleted scenes make it even worse.
Yeah he basically says that Yoda's philosophy is do nothing. Did he forget when he said "You must. Face. Vader."??If this snippet isn't enough to convince you that Rian Johnson fundamentally does NOT understand Star Wars, then I don't know what will. Where the prequels may have tried to convince us that the Jedi were corrupted by their complacency, Luke was better than them by seeing past their dogma in the OT. But this?????
So apathy is now considered heroism?
According to Johnson, Luke was wrong to try and help Han and Leia in ESB. Even though he failed, at least Luke tried to do what was right. That was what made him heroic! Despite the fact that the Sith are already in existence, meaning Kylo and Snoke destroying the galaxy and wiping out the central governing body, Luke is being a hero by sitting on an island and sulking like a bitter old man.
Whatever look they were going for, it ends up looking like a green screened soundstage but with red instead of green. It's awful.Oh wait, last thing, that throne room looked like ****. I did my best to be nice but ********.
I would love for someone to do a top-down stick figure recreation of the fight sequence. I'm looking over it now, in the initial wave 5 come at Rey and 3 at Kylo... and they can't connect once? After the initial attack they just start spinning away to reset. Snoke is Dead, their purpose in life is over, they should be fighting for their lives with a berserker rage.I can handle poor choreography to an extent, but once it reaches a certain level of "Wow, that guy is just standing around waiting for his turn" I'm immediately thrust out of the movie.
