Joe gets it


This film needed an extra 30 or 40 minutes in my view.

It doesn’t stop even for a second to let things breathe or elaborate on moments like these.. It bashes you over the head with ‘this is cool!! Remember this thing you used to love? Here it is!! Or look here’s another cool thing!’

Relentlessly.

I’m ok with that in the now.

I dread to think how we’re all going to view that in 6 months or a year. But we’re stuck with it win or lose.

Considering the discussions that have been ongoing in other parts of the board recently, I would've assumed you had thr basics of that figured out.

See I don't think he did it that way. He was already old and shriveled.

I mean, if there's no time to stop and mourn a character like Han then it's pretty silly to slow down to mourn 3PO. It's Star Wars.

What I think would have been cool is if R2 had restored his memory all the back to the beginning. It would have been great to see 3PO remember Padme, for example.

Kinda sucks that she wasn't mentioned at all during this.
I thought about that as well. Imagine him remembering that he was made by Anakin.

The Kevin Smith / fat man beyond spoiler review brought this up quite humorously.

It’s humorous

That’s all.

Not insightful at all.

Just came back from my second view, this time on Imax. Both TFA and TLJ improved a lot on a second viewing, this one was the same. I liked Rey more this time.

I loved Palpatine again, even if i dont have a clue how he came back. Loved everything with Leia too. I was so embarrassed with Finn screaming Rey. I was bored with Poe. And every time they said WE GO TOGETHER AS FRIENDS i rolled my eyes.

I love how beautiful these films look and im sad on how flawed this trilogy is.

When you have to resort to some random bint on YouTube to back up your already lame argument, you really know you haven’t an argument worth hearing.
