I mean this is just asking for a fight. He Can’t make a point without insulting people like this he’s obviously up to something else

I think there is a big difference. We are talking amongst friends here. To post something like that on Twitter it’s either to annoy people or just get attention. Or both
Or to express an opinion or idea to a large population.

Im so tired of the fan service discussion. I mean its Star Wars guys.

My main problems with the movie were how it was paced and how they brought Palpls. But its not even this movie´s fault for me.


Im still super exited to finally see it again when it its turn.

If it had been her lifting the ship
Instead of Luke

The exact same people would be completely outraged that it wasn’t Luke doin
It

The outrage would be they’re making her
More powerful than even luke

Star Wars simply cannot win against assholes and these kinds of idiotic arguments

I watched this last night.

I was expecting it to totally suck. It didn’t. It was alright.

At the end it said the director was JJ Abrams. What happened to George Lucas?

Luke convincingly projected his image across the galaxy and Rey pulled down a ship from the air earlier in the trilogy. No one should be impressed by either lifting the X Wing out of the water.

When I read a post like this, I wonder: Does everything on your phone default to the first letter of text being lower-case, or do you do it deliberately? Every email, every text, every RM post, etc.? This strikes me as very odd. My default is to always start with a capital letter and I wouldn’t have it any other way.


Or you’re using a computer and you’re just sloppy with no regard for the King’s English.

Agree

So why the pointless twitter rant about luke doing it

Because it is a pointless scene.

Wanted to love ROS desperately but just felt so utterly disappointed in it when I saw it in the theatre, for scenes like the one being discussed above, but for so many other reasons. I still hope that someone can convince me it is somehow a good movie worth watching, but I couldn't even get past the early scenes with Rey and Leia when I tried to watch it again this week.

If it was made for fan service then I'm clearly not the fan they were aiming for (born '77 and still remember watching the OG trilogy in the theatre at 6 yo). But I'm happy for all of you who love it / enjoy it, I'm super jealous and hope I can join you there one day!

And it's probably not necessary for me to say I loved TLJ.

The scene is a triumph for both of them. They have overcome, and Luke places his full faith in Rey. It’s a gesture for him and for her, for their history together, and his. It’s a sensei preparing his star pupil for her most crucial battle.

And on a practical level... SHE NEEDS A SHIP!

So thematically, not pointless. Plotwise, not pointless. And practically... you get it.

Ok, maybe not completely pointless. But still hokey. And a little too on the nose for "rhyming" purposes.

Have we ever considered that "force ghosts" are just hallucinations of the living?

That’s a good question

If I’m standing beside Luke and he’s talking to force ghost Obi-Wan
Can I see him too..
doubtful

In no way scientific but as far as I can tell it falls as it’s two groups

If you love that scene you tend to love the movie

Those that didn’t like that scene tend not to like the movie
