Regarding the age thing...a lot of people seem to be put off by Han and Luke's failings in 7 and 8, and I often wonder if they're younger viewers. At 42, I very much relate with "I'm going to an island to die, screw all of you." I ADORE that Luke has been made flawed, broken, that his youthful idealism went at least initially unfulfilled. Call me cynical, but that's life.
I hated Canto whatever, but it gave us that ending with broom boy, which was pure magic. For that, it was worth it.
I hated Huff Po editor Holdo. You're like 60. Purple hair? My god.
Porgs are the greatest thing ever. DJ was awesome.
Are they giving Daisy HGH? She's jacked. I'm surprisingly in love with her not being a Skywalker. They're opening up this universe, broadening it.
Most swearing in SW. I approve.
I accept Snoke's demise, but we need to know who he was and where he came from still. That can't be left unanswered.
Alien boob milk. RJ has nerve. I approve of how willing he was to be off putting.
CGI backgrounds were Fury Road level distracting. Take another year Disney. Do it right. On that topic, no more cg animal riding. It will never not look like crap.
Love how Poe and Finn screwed it all up and made things worse. Fits the hubris theme.
Too much inappropriate humor. Not everyone has to be Tony Stark.
Kylo is the most interesting character in the saga. I said it.
Overall, a weeeeeird movie. But that's ok, I like weird. Felt like the end of a trilogy, not the middle. Super curious for 9!
