a valid defense would spell it with an S, not a C

ill try and watch today if I can find the time, but this brilliant film needs no defense

It’s spelled defence everywhere in the world except the US. One of countless words you guys spell wrong.

I didn't watch the video, but I hate clickbaity titles/headlines like that.

I have a feeling this sentiment will become clearer and truer as time goes on. We'll be able to look back at all of this and say, "oh yep, absolutely."

Absolutely agree. If it had just been a safe generic middle chapter, we’d see all of them to come slip into marvelesque cookie cutter blandness.

marvel movies as cookie cutter blandness is just about as tired a substance free internet trope

Tired, but true.

This is finally heading to me in the post. Didn’t receve it this week though, so probably no later than Tuesday.

Hopefully you’ll finally get it

Eh? Eh?

Taxi!!

Tired, but true.

They are basically genre pics so there are similarities in style and structure that help signify that the films are apiece with each other, but no more than you are likely to find in one star wars movie to another (or one pearl jam album to another)

[dimejinky99]

All true but they have become really formulaic and forgettable.

[stip]

It’s perfectly fine to not like a movie but, within the structure of the genre, it’s hard to go from Homecoming to Ragnarok to Black Panther (to infinity war, probably) and accuse them of being overly formulaic

Happy birthday you cantankerous old crank

I still really love the fact that Luke says the name Darth Sidious in TLJ. There’s so much to unravel in that. Looks like he went looking for this info or did Anakin tell him? Looking for it would have been really difficult. Everyone in the galaxy knew Palpatine became emperor. Nobody knew he was Darth Sidious except Vader.
Be a cool book to read about him on that journey. And all the rest

I'd rather have an animated or live action series/mini series that followed Luke's journey right after Return of the Jedi.

[epilogue]

I love all the pronouns in TLJ. It's so specific and poignant when anyone uses "Luke" or "Young Skywalker" or "Rey" or "Ben" or "Kylo" or whatever else. Hearing Yoda say "Luke" instead of "Young Skywalker" almost made me cry.
