I will miss them, i can't believe their adventure is concluding but all good things must come to an end, i'm just grateful i was able to go along the ride.
Thank you Finn Thank you Poe Thank you Rose Thank you Kylo, yeah even you :/
I barely watched the frist so for me it never happened. I knew it was going to be bad when they named the villains "First Order". Gee, even an 8yo gets more creative then that.
Glad it is finally over and we can pretend it never happened and maybe, just maybe, the franchise wont get another fucking trilogy that it does not need.

We wanted aliens. They want to show us that aliens are bad because George used them.

George screwed up the moment he named Kathy Kennedy his successor. I think in some interview he said that the franchise was "in good hands".

That's the one. She stabbed him right in the back.

I'm the victim. I liked TFA and Rogue One (still do for the latter), but TLJ and all the books and comics are awful. Rebels season 4 also took a huge dump on Star Wars canon with various autism like force wolves and time travel. I betrayed George and the EU I held dear and was rewarded with dull, uninspired, soulless garbage because I wanted to believe Star Wars would still be good under new management.
Jacob Wood
Token white thing.
Adrian Long
Kylo is literally a parody of SW fan the fact you retards act like he's a good character is incredible. He's better than rest in this pile of shit but that says literally nothing.
They're right there in the poster for IX. Most people who are employed professionally to write billion dollar screenplays are aware of the principle of Chekhov's Gun.
Evan Perez
He's a great character specifically for that purpose.
John Smith
>Rey
Literally who?
Ian Peterson
The Knights of Ren as a concept should never have been included or mentioned to begin with if they had no intention of even doing anything with that. You now realize they haven't even made action figures of them when it was Lucas' bread and butter to make figures of all the neat looking background extras people wanted to know more about. That's insane to me.

Why did you put Kylo's picture for the Drone. Put Rey instead, she's a shit and Kylo is based.

That was the single most crucial detail in that entire movie. That's why they showed it three times from different points of view. Did you even see the movie or could you not see the screen through your stormtrooper helmet?
Adam Carter
>Poe is a white male
> Óscar Isaac Hernández Estrada was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala to a Guatemalan mother, María Eugenia Estrada, and a Cuban father, Óscar Gonzalo Hernández-Cano
They're most likely going to fight with Reylo and probably Poe to destroy both the First Order and the Resistance from within and bring balance to the force and probably eat the rich along the way.
Bentley Sanchez
So yeah in Disney books no one knows Vader killed Palpatine and he is only revealed as Luke and Leia's father in a political scandal where Kylo first learns of it
Luke Cooper
Maybe BB-8 or Kylo Ren, but that is literally it. It has no identity of its own or unique aspects beyond those.

is there any way I can read on an actual coherent grand narrative these movies pose. They aren't episodic narratives but everything I have read or seen suggests that there is no carry over themes between the first movie and the second.
I seriously want someone with an analytical eye to give me something to cling to that's not muh subversions which didn't really add to anything nor did the first movie utilize subversions, nor were their themes coherent across movies, nor have they built up much of an arc that actually went anywhere outside of any given context.
I am curious is anyone out there with more baincells than a mangy mutt defending or analyticly ascribing high quality writing to this movies repertoire
Nolan Walker

Brayden Wright
Why do I get the feeling that most of the online detractors to these movies are literal robots programmed by Disney to make them sound like retards who didn't even bother watching them? If by a slim chance you are human, I'll respond seriously. The theme of the trilogy can be summed up by Ben's line: "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." You may not like this, but you aren't the one making the movies, are you?
Hunter Stewart
How can anyone look at Watto here and not think he's a Jewish stereotype? What was George thinking?

>The theme of the trilogy can be summed up by Ben's line: "Eat 40,000 pizza rolls. Swallow them whole if you have to."
Austin Diaz
I don't think the movies are good. I just think you can build stronger argumentation by not ascribing to echo chambers. The most intresting comments on the last /tv sabrina thread was a guy who said the stuff people had problems with was absurdity. Which to me was an intresting line of thinking because it didn't seem that it enchanced the drama or comedy involved. But that was me.
Thanks for your addition. But how are they killing the past when it seems like all they do is retread it. Kylo and Rei literally end TLJ with them more less in the same places. They have killed the past, but past that there isn't much there.
Also "Kill the past" from a thematic and over arching perspective is it in the force awakenes, I don't really know the movie that well.
Daniel Morales
What kind of masochist would casually eat pizza rolls? At least with Hot Pockets after the first bite they're able to vent and cool down, but how can you withstand each bite being an eruption of tomato-cheese magma?
John Thomas
In a literal sense, money. In my personal figurative sense, to create a new imaginary playground for the current infant generation (ages 3-14) to project their fantasies onto. Honestly the problem with the new star wars movies isn't the race and gender-baiting, it's the lack of adventurous plot. It's nice to know that black boys and chinese girls can pretend to be star wars characters now--the problem is that the plots aren't fun adventure stories but shitty remakes and postmodern narratives.
Unironically this. After a couple of years dealing with what the Star Wars and MCU fandoms have become I realize how fucking sad it is for a grown man to care so much about cape and spaceshit.
Sebastian Rogers
>TFA: ANH remake >TLJ: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. >Episode IX: we have Lando!
Ian King
The Force Awakens was mostly a safe expository piece with a familiar storyline to try and avoid the sheer vitriol that met The Phantom Menace. All the players are introduced and their motivations stated. The main theme is alluded to by the killing of Han, but it would have been suicide for the franchise if the middle finger was shown as highly in the first film as in the second. Also I dispute the bit about them ending in the same places. For one Ben now owns the First Order war machine and wields it in a typical zoomer yolo fashion, and I don't know where the hell Rey is but she started the movie intending to become a Jedi and is now left with nothing. It only feels like they are in the same place because they started with infinite possibilities and ended with infinite possibilities.
William Foster
>It's nice to know that black boys and chinese girls can pretend to be star wars characters now Why do you think that black boys and chinese girls would suddenly start dressing up as Token and Tokina rather than just continuing to dress up as stormtroopers and jedi as they would have for the last 42 years?
Aiden Stewart
Disney wanted an IP that literally prints money. Instead of continuing the IP, they decided to replace the entire first cast and failed. Next, they pretended they weren't just doing Star Wars 2.0, but that it was it's own original storyline but failed.
Jason Jenkins
this. exactly this. kids don't give a fuck about race representation or any of that dumb shit they will simply like the cool characters - period
Eli Howard

Chase Scott
Fair enough. But I don't feel like you are being fair. Yeah kylo took over the first order, but I don't feel that his character significantly changed in the process. I'd concede he gained confidence. But that never felt like enough. It just seemed kinda dull. He took over the first order by killing Snoke. Not in a contest showing his skill, or cunning, it felt almost anticlimatic how little it involved his character. Why was he even with Snoke, he is made to look like an asshat.
Who is Rei after the ending of TLJ, a girl who wants to do the right thing with unprecedented power. Honestly what are the differences, stuff happened but what really changed I end up asking. And more importantly what is the real over arching narrative
They psyched themselves out by putting Star Wars on a pedestal
Quotes like >"what can we do to recapture the MAGIC that ENTHRALLED people about the original movies" like it's some untouchable holy thing that mere mortals can't possibly understand. The MAGIC.
that fucking line where Rey tells Kylo he's scared he'll never be as strong as Vader? That shit was autobiographical.
so instead of being excited to be able to tell a new fun story continuing in the star wars universe, it instead feels like they were terrified of every step they made and second and triple-guessing themselves. These movies reek of fucking FEAR.
Andrew Bailey
I always thought rose was a side character and wondered why she got so much screen time, I didn't realize she was a main character lmao what shit writing

>black boys and chinese girls can pretend to be star wars characters now So long as they stick to the C-plot and are doofuses. I doubt Disney racially diversified its fanbase from what it was in the early 2000s.

Jace Richardson
I think it's hilarious that their insistence on "making the force spiritual again" actually fucked Rey. Could've just said she has a really high midichlorian count, but they can't do that.
So instead she has immense power that is tied to spiritualism and mysticism while possessing not a single ounce of spirituality herself. In fact she seems to actively look down on this aspect of the force, viewing it as nothing more than a tool.
Leo Wood
The theme of the movie is letting go of the old. It is confusing because they keep bringing in the old, and the old is better in practically every way
Adam Gutierrez
This trilogy will just lead into the next one with the same cast
Brody Perez
What ever happened to The Force is Femal bullshit that KK tried to pull? In fact what happened to her? She's suppose to be the "face" of Star Wars and I use to see her in news articles all the fucking time. Did the exects tell her to stop because they realized she was fucking up with every decision she made?
Alexander Scott
gotcha, the classic she doesn't need the jedi texts because they aren't important than bursting the tree into flame only to have her take them anyways thus making the scene vacuous
Isn't it almost bordering on absurd in several cases?
Asian girl crashes into Finn, and they don't die in a hail off blaster fire and instead share a kiss in a tense and horrid situations as they are about to be overwhelmed?
Leo Gutierrez
RLM was a mistake.

Seems like even an average Clone Wars era Jedi could fucking ice him no problem.
Xavier Gomez
That's not true, that's impossible
Grayson Reyes
that feels like a part of it, but you'd think they could do better. They get paid to write stories but it seems they aren't telling a consistent story across both films. Yet the films follow each other 1 after the other.
It's kind of a shame because on a technical level it was well put together. It's just for some reason the script feels off. If you asked me where Kylo Ren was going after this, I wouldn't know. He could be the big bad he could be something new he could be a romantic intrest against something else
Rei will do the exact same thing
William Walker

Jackson Robinson
At least in Battlefront 2 he's a beast. Basically the only villain that can counter and kill the strongest hero in the game, Anakin. He can do that freeze move on groups of enemies in an area, has almost as much health and lightsaber damage as Vader, and can also pull people towards him with the force from practically a mile away. If that's anything to go by, he's strong.
Jose Rodriguez
It's almost like the movies are just the beta writers projecting their insecurities
There is nothing skillful or cunning about Ben. That's the point. He's a scared little boy of whom people expect too much. He is so insecure in his abilities that he sees any faltering in his mentors' faith in him as abject betrayal. Bouncing around from one side of the Force to the other, burning bridges along the way, he has nothing to rely on but himself, and he can't even do that. Therefore the world might as well burn. Rey on the other hand has remained steady in her convictions, even through some really tough shit clinging to the hope that the clouds will recede and the light of day will shine. First the hope that her parents will come back for her, then that Han will take her under his wing and show her the galaxy, then Luke would do anything but milk a kangaroo in front of her, when each hope is lost she finds a new one. Now she, like a battered wife, thinks that she can fix Ben, and (if the writers have any sense in them), the focus of the new movie will be this. She will try to reach Ben and bring him to the light, and will not stop until he kills her. Fuck, I love these two characters. They really deserve better than this shit franchise.
Kayden Bennett
I wanna see how this goes.
Cameron Morris
That user is wrong and missed the point. Kylo is wrong when he says that. "Killing the past" won't help anyone. The true path forward is accepting the past, not necessarily letting it define you, and moving forward. Rey accepted that her parents were never returning and she had to be her own hero. Despite Kylo talking about killing the past, he doesn't practice what he preaches and so he's stuck in a rut. He's still so caught up in his own past and the anger it causes him, and that's what is holding him back.
Carson Turner
No way this is in a billion dollar movie.
Connor Lewis
The point of Kylo's arc is that he's gained confidence in the sense that he's now the big man on top. Snoke is gone and nobody is holding him down. Finally he's in control. But it's made him nothing but miserable already. He ends TLJ on his knees, upset. His IX arc will be learning that he doesn't really want that power, or the lifestyle he's leading.
Lincoln Powell
That sounds all pointless, who cares if he gained confidence in him being the big man or whatever, the story never set you up to care about that. Every time I read someone explaining the narrative structure of the film it always ends up being a word salad of trying to give the movie deeper meaning than it deserves.
Nolan Powell
That's spot on. I've only been talking about The Last Jedi and its implications, but it goes deeper than that. The whole trilogy is following a pattern of birth, death, and rebirth. Now that the old order is destroyed, a new one must be built in its place. Ben and Rey are going to have to find compromise between their opposed personalities, symbolically and physically bringing balance to the force. Goddamn I love this story. Why is the modern movie industry so that you can't just tell this story and not have to package it in the sleeve of a 50 year old pop sci fi franchise?
>fuck Spielberg he should have listened to my indiana jones ideas
Nathan Gray
well speed dating makes sense have you ever been in a con and looked into that room? it's mostly neckbeards and a few transfats who don't come close to passing anyway
Lucas Hernandez
He hasn't gained confidence at all though. He removed his master, but he hasn't removed himself from his need for one. That's the analogy I made to a yolo zoomer: he is going to have a long and hard struggle to find his proper footing as a man, and with the Wehrmacht under his power, a lot of people are going to suffer until he finds it.
Kayden Harris
This is how much disney fucked up. They can't even make their toys right. I mean every kid wants Rose and Finn toys. Even the stormtroopers look retarded, the armor look less like armor and more like apple earbuds

Brandon Jenkins
Are they seriously going to go the "not Yuuzhan Vong but Yuuzhan Vong" route? I'm conflicted now. As cheap as that would be it would be fucking cool to watch.
That too. Maybe I could tell it. Though even if I make sure to put it in a fantasy setting with two warring orders of mages with nothing to do with Star Wars, I'd probably still get sued by Disney for stealing their idea for an original movie based in the Final Fantasy franchise or some shit.

Henry White
Enjoy your vaporware. Aside from Mandalorian and Clone Wars S6, Disney has refused to greenlight a single frame of a new project until Episode IX is out. They still aren't sure how much damage Nu-Wars has done to the brand.
Not sure he's going to be anything like the Vong. He sounds like some kind of godlike Force using creature or something. But I would unironically kill to have the Yuuzhan Vong and New Jedi Order back as films and games. That was the thing I always wanted to see adapted from the EU most.

Why would there be a force oracle around for any reason but an impending alien invasion? Is there going to be a doomsday prophecy where if the force is not balanced after the winter solstice of 2012 it will kill itself and the galaxy will turn to chaos? Would that be more or less cool?

God... I just wish Star Wars was for autistic kids like I used to be back in the day again.
Thats what make it great. How? Easy, for starters it was not a problem to explore a profound aspect in the force with a religious Zen varnish behind it, because autistic kids see that shit and go: Wooow. I remember how I used to love the concepts of dark side and light side and how they played out as a first metaphysic concept to my infant brain.
Second, instead of publiciting in the script things as the knights of ren or Phasma or even Snoke with those displays of shit, they used to let things quite misterious back in the day.
Like for example the Imperial Guard. What did we knew about them in the film? Nothing, just that they where stoically present in the Emperor's chamber room and then when luke came in, The Emperor told them to leave and they didn't question shit, just perfectly coordinated gtfo.
This made my imagination about them run wild back in the day and I bet that some writers of the EU happened to feel the same way and thats why today in the EU we have explanations for FUCKING EVERYTHING, like this article in wookiepedia for breasts:
All of this made the saga magical, because it was not only misterious and mystical by exotic religion exposition, but also had action packed that blended perfectly with those elements, like the talks about the dark-side mid-duel. Thats what attracted me the most.
But I digress, I'll miss old Star Wars, it was better when it was made for autistic kids.
Even when I saw that for the first time, I was extremely confused by how she slipped under the guy's arms. Did letting go of the lightsaber coat her body in grease or loosen the guy's grip?
