I don't care

best part by far was

"jam the speeders!"
"they dont have speeders"
cue My Little Pony cavalry charge.

I wept openly.

Really going back and forth between thinking this was just OK and outright bad. It mostly felt very messy and very retconny, like a sequel to a movie that didn't actually happen

the old guy in the force awakens who gives away the piece to the map! "This will begin to make things right." How do you let that go unanswered?????

What is left unanswered about that for you?

Who is he? Where did he come from? How did he get that piece to the map? What's his connection to Luke?

Ah.

All of that is expanded on in the books (for what is worth). I know that's not ultimately helpful.

1. Rose Tico getting Jar Jarred into oblivion.
2. Rebellion destroyed? nah, they're fine. Status quo.
3. Rey's parents being nobody important? lol no we ain't doing that. (and fuck you if you think this was planned all along)

Spoiler: show

Oh my god did you even watch the movie. The entire rebellion wasn’t destroyed. and they sent a signal out at the end of last Jedi. Then they arrived when the resistance figured out how to defeat the million flying Death Stars and sent the signal out.

Also within the year time frame Poe and his squadrons were roaming the galaxy finding people to join them

Look - it’s not perfect but it’s in the Fucking movie.

hah yes yes there are always more bodies. More star destroyers. more returning characters. Because none of this matters and its all very stupid, but hey, a line of dialogue explains it all away, right? ItS IN the mOvIe

You sure do post a lot about a thing that is meaningless and stupid and doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter, then why waste your time/money? Why bother showing up to troll people. Why go out of your way to piss people off? What kind of sad sack of a human are you? How cancerous and shitty is your life that the only joy you can find is to come to a Star Wars forum on a PEARL JAM message board and wave your dick around?

Don't you have a fucking comic book to write?

It is insane to interpret this as a troll post. These are legitimate criticisms

Sequel trilogy ranking

TLJ > TFA > TROS

Was there some explanation of the insane new powers that are in this one, or was this just typical JJ Abrams "make it more awesome!" bullshit? I might have missed it during a piss break or something.

I got the sense watching the originals that the Jedi weren't superheroes. They just had a little edge that gave them an advantage.

Spoiler: show

Now they are blowing ships out of the sky and bringing each other back from the dead and teleporting all over the place. No explanation.

wtf?

I suppose its inevitable with Hollywood sequels that things have to get more absurd, and Lucas already ramped up the powers a bit in the prequels, but now it's just world breaking.

Well, in the prequels, Palpatine ultimately lured Anakin to the dark side with the promise of being able to resurrect someone. So it's not a new idea. He mentioned that Plagueius was trying to do that as well before he killed him

I thought it would be more difficult than just...however the fuck they figured it out. They just started doing it.

Seemed like it should have been a bigger deal.

Alright, I've seen it. How many pages back do I need to start reading?

It’s mad the way any attempt at discussion especially on events current, get hijacked by fucking morons who just want to be contrarian and pungent yet they’re allowed away with it.
I’ve been banned for less.

In the comics, Vader rips apart an AT-AT.

Force creep. It's been happening since the OT.

I mean, guys, Rey can fly. Why didn't she fly all the time?
