The dumbest of all dumb things is that KK actually made the decision to make a sequel trilogy without a story. Her plan to just make it up after each movie was not just dumb, it was genuinely baffling. How she kept her job after that mess is beyond me.

Not having Luke & R2, Han, Leia, and Chewy in a scene together is definitely number 1 for me. Hell, I'd have settled for just Luke, Han, and Leia. In over seven hours of film across three movies, they never share the screen together. It's baffling. And what they did to Mark Hamill's character is just criminal. It's as if whoever wrote Luke's parts had never seen any Star Wars media and had no idea who he was. I can see him going into exile after what happens with Kylo. But once Rey finds him and asks for his help, he would be back in the fight immediately. Mark Hamill has talked about this so much. It's just awful.

Not having Han, Luke, and Leia in a single scene together was ridiculous. Yoiu haved the most iconic trio ofcharacters in cinerma history and not even oner scene. I feel Boyega was used too. They wanted to show the "New and Diverse Star Wars" in the magazines and trailers. I feel the whole fiasco about him being a black stormtrooper was staged. They knew that a lot of fans were under the impression that all stormtroopers are clones so when a black man is the VERY FIRST shot of the first trailer was his in a stormtrooper uniform (With ZERO dialogue or explanation) there would be questions and some outrage. Maybe 1% of the fans were racist but the rest just didn't understand why there was a stormtrooper that didn't look like Boba Fett. They made no attempt to exploit it and just watched the media swell as people called fans racist and others saying doesn't matter the race, he should look like BF. They loved the free exposure. They set SW fans up to be called racist and "manbabies."

I can forgive them for that at least. There's no way Harrison Ford was coming back without them killing off Han, and having Luke show up early would diminish the impact of the final scene. You gotta remember, these movies are supposed to be about the new generation, not the OT trio. Boyega did get robbed though. Imagine this: instead of the stupid Canto side mission, Rose is deadset on avenging her sister. Finn talks her down and Leia sees that Finn has the potential to be a Jedi. Then instead of spending the movie in a coma, she teaches Finn the ways of the Force in her own way, while Luke trains Rey in his own way. The Last Jedi ends with Luke still dead, but both Rey and Finn are ready to lead the charge as Jedi in Episode 9.

And force dyad could be pretty interresting concept IF they done it well(not shirtless Kylo), SW universe is huge you cant be opposed to every new thing introduced with force, plus there is plenty unique force powers in old legends, in other games - KOTOR, SWTOR - you have some very unique and COOL powers there (Battle meditation,Force bonds and more) that werent mentioned in movies at all, but i would love to see them in future. ...Agree with rest.

The size of intact wreckage shown in the movie would have caused an impact crater and massive surface devastation. And, of course, it would not be intact.

The Ahsoka series is a lot closer to what the sequels should have been, focusing on the Imperial Remnant and Grand Admiral Thrawn and partly based on Timothy Zahn's well-liked books. Much better than inventing a totally new story involving the First Order which wasn't well thought through at all. I think Disney just got waaay too excited and waaaay too ahead of themselves. They are capable of making enjoyable Star Wars stuff: Rogue One, Mando, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka are all quite good, certainly much better than the sequel trilogy. Solo is also pretty good once you get over Harrison Ford not being in it.

@Azure_Fire 3 ай бұрын

There's precedent. Whether it was intentional or not, Episode 9 took ideas from the 1991 comic Dark Empire where Palpatine's spirit returned in a clone body. Clones can't handle the Force very well, and Palp's dark side energy would cause his cloned bodies to age rapidly. The transfer process was...unpleasant so he'd wait until the last possible moment to transfer. Now I am not defending the choice to put Palpatine in the movie at all, it's just there's a lot of little things that fans like stick on: things that have long since been explained away in the EU.

Also Palpatine returned multiple times in the EU and everyone praises the EU yet this is stupid? Now if Leia or Luke said something like that I’d find it questionable because I’d think they’d have an idea of how, but not Poe or someone that wasn’t knowledgeable of the force. Overall I enjoy the sequels, but I admit there is stuff that should have been better and stuff they seemed to just change total direction on. The shows are really leading up to showing how Palpatine came back I feel and let’s face it all 3 trilogies have done this and it’s been left to other books, comics, shows ir movies to explain.

@@ricardokojin7 a great deal of the abuse directed at Kelly Marie Tran, the actress who played Rose, was most certainly racist in nature. I accept that some may simply dislike parts of the plot involving her, that's fine, but if that's really your issue then Rose should be the very least of your qualms with The Last Jedi, as she is a relatively small part of that wider plot.

Fav villain will always be the cunning and sinister Emperor Palpatine. The man was quiet and unassuming when he needed to be, but savage and maniacal in the Dark Side, to the point that even Vader was shocked by his brutality in combat.

@ufc3459 3 ай бұрын

Rey being a Palpatine could've worked if if the line "Somehow Palpatine has returned" didnt exist. We just spent two movies with new villians and no signs of Palpatine to have him forced into the last movie and have it announced in a random fortnite event that no one was expecting to have key info about the last movie. Palpatine had to be in from the start. Everytime we are talking Rey's family we should be seeing something that gives a hint. They had enough there to make everything work but decided only make connections after the fact.

They could've also thought about generational timelines: Rey was roughly the same age as Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren's parents were babies when Palpatine was already "grandfather age." Rey was Palpatine's granddaughter. She should've been at least his great-granddaughter if not even deeper.

If they were going to bring Palps back it should have been as a force ghost. He could still do everything he does in Rise as a ghost and it wouldn't have left us all wondering how he survived falling down the core of the Second Death Star and then somehow survived again when it exploded minutes later. He didn't need to come back alive for it to work.

Issue I had, no way Leia is going to hug Rey first, I dont care if they did know themselves in the force. The Force doesnt work that way, Leia and Chewie risked their lives during the original Star Wars movies, it would be like my grandfathers (Who both fought in WWII) how they felt about someone they didnt know and a mate in unit they served. They both fought and watched friends die. So, those that survived were normally like their brothers. They shared a bond, that many cant understand. Chewie and Leia were like family, solders, and people who watched friends die. No way is Rey going to be accepted into that group.

@RialVestro 3 ай бұрын

Making Rey a "nobody" is not brilliant, it's lazy. It's basically the writer screaming "I HAVE NO IDEAS" at the audience. Plus I never believed it was ever intended to be her true origins in the first place, I mean it was only the second movie in a trillogy. They're not going to reveal everything in the middle cause then there'd be no reason to come back for a 3rd movie. The dumb thing was not just making a Skywalker cause now there's absolutly reason why the Lightsaber held by Anakin and Luke before her would ever call out to her as there's nothing connecting her to it. Kylo also seemed to already be aware of who she was in the first film which would make sense if she was a Skywalker but they completly abandoned that concept to make them love interests in the sequel. As for waisted villains, honestly I was never going to care about random soldier guy or Shiney Stormtrooper anyway. In a world where the force exists it's very hard to make non-force sensitive characters interesting or compelling. The Fetts only became interesting because of the design as neither Jango nor Boba ever actually did anything other than stand there and look cool in their armor. So the only real waisted potential is Emperor Snoke who should have been revealed as Darth Pleaguis. You know the guy already set up in episode 3 to be able to cheat death. Bringing Palpatine back randomly just undoes the ending of the original trillogy and makes Snoke completly pointless.
