    @white715 these movies being disneyfied is actually a good thing if Marvel movies are any indicator. Plus we’ll get more than 3 movies every 3 decades.

    not sure how i feel about this movie just yet. Firstly i enjoyed kylo ren as ? ? with road rage 24/7. That ? was hilarious to me!
    Snoke needed more screen time and back story. Same goes for phasma. Why the ? they make that ? look like a killer to only go out like a common villain? The red ninja ? were dope as ? and i hope they're back for episode 9. Maybe i was tripping, but before luke pulled a yoda, his hair grew out longer and his beard lost some of its grey. How the jedi books get on the millennium falcon? Did finn have possession of them? Or he just happened to open a drawer with them inside? If rey stole them, i think thats something they should've shown. And got damn at the light speed suicide that slim ? pulled!!! I got lost in the visuals on that part and kylo trying to nuke luke was dope and lukes reaction was great. Pretty diverse cast as well lol i never seen so many asians in a non asian movie.

    Very good movie. I'm curious as to who the students of Luke's were that Kylo took with him. He said Kylo killed most of them but took a handful with him, hmmmmm.....

    Benecio Del Toro plays a villain in every movie lololol. Fin, Rose and Po had an amazing arc absolutely amazing


    I thought Leia was finished. For a 70+ year old woman, ? rest her soul but Leia was cute as hell.

    That becoming one with the force ? got me salty but I get it. Yoda is so dope you KNOW he's getting a prequel movie. We need to know how Yoda became Yoda. I didn't want Luke to go out like that tho, I wanted to see him pull a Vader in Rogue One and mash ? out.


    Kylo and Rey squading up like that was mad dope. I knew Kylo was gonna turn on Snoke after that helmet ? tho and no way was he gonna become a good guy and end all of this that just wouldn't make sense.

    I was rolling when Luke finessed Kylo, I can't believe he fell for that ?


    The scenery and shots was absolutely amazing, great use of colour. They borrowed some elements from empire strikes back and rogue one and it worked really well.

    I like how they deviated a little and moved away from hope and prestige and left it to anything is possible, that's the message I got from the ending especially with the kid and the broom at the end.
    kylo tricked snoke into thinkng he was about to strike rey with his light saber while controlling reys. To be so powerful and knowing kylo every move, how could he not sense he was controlling the other light saber? Kinda wack how he went out.

    The elite praetorian guards were looking deadly. That's a great throne.

    Angry Star Wars Fans Storm Theater Lobby Over 'The Last Jedi' Sound Problems
    As integral to any narrative, character or visual effect, the sounds of Star Wars are unique and recognizable, with the film's opening title giving goosebumps to anyone who hears it.

    Unfortunately, one group of fans at a theater in Burbank, California were denied that experience when a malfunction prevented the sound from playing for the first 20 minutes, resulting in fans storming the lobby with such ferocity that the police had to be called to maintain the peace.

    With the event unfolding on opening night, this specific screening was much more heavily-anticipated than an average screening, leading to the passionate anger about the situation from fans.

    As the fans hurled obscenities and insults at theater staff, guests were offered a full refund for the incident.

    Due to the popularity of the film, not everyone had the luxury of merely checking out another screening and demanded that the film be started over.

    It's unclear whether the theater couldn't start the screening over due to technical limitations or if starting the film over would result in complications with subsequent screenings, but the theater refused to accommodate these requests.

    I don't know maybe I should give it another watch.

    The visuals were great
    The light speed suicide was great and the fact that Yoda is in it. I think that the red ninjas might be that Jedis that Kylo took with him although it would be dope if there are some out there.

    I mentioned this in a past tread but I feel like they short changed Leia. She is Lukes twin so I always thought she could been a beast, instead of her playing the background.

    Can we please get a Yoda movie maybe even his own trilogy.

    Funniest part was when Luke told Rey to reach out to feel the force and she stuck her hand out.

    Luke rubbing Rey's hand with stalk: "You feel that, you feel that?!
    Rey: “Yes, yes, I feel it!”
    Luke smacks Rey's hand with stalk: "FOH!"
    other funny moments , when Luke milked that sea creature and drank the milk right in reys face that look he had. Lol they turned like into an old self pitying angry ? . I'm surprised they didn't Mae him a ? . Nick nolte could've played his role almost.
    Lol at benicio del Toro studdering like Timmy from south park. Han had golden space dice hanging in his space hooptie (millennium falcon) I always wondered what those shimmering things were in the cockpit back in episode 4

    It won’t go anywhere
    seems like an after thought, it seemed strong in the beginning but forgotten in th 3rd act in favor of setting up love triangles between Poe/Rey/Ben and rose/Finn

    Whiteys on YouTube tearin this ? apart saying it’s terrible. Most of the complaints is that it’s “Social Justice Wars” so I take that as basically they feel like they don’t have a white male hero to latch onto.

    What sayest thou, IC? Should I catch a matinee on my day off or nah?

    Rey and Kylo seem more brother and sister like. I could see Rey/Poe and Finn/Rose.

    I just need Kylo to spill a lot of blood in the next movie.
