Does Luke state that he knew Palpatine was still alive or just say that he knew Rey was a Palpatine?

Aren't you a Dolphins fan?

Yeah. But here's the difference: I pay attention to the facts. I admit when they suck; when they are under poor leadership/coaching and have bad players. I probably won't even watch their last two games because I'd rather they lose for a good draft pick in April. I am actually a SW fan, also. These movies suck.

Dude you are so much better and wiser than us! Congrats.

I'm just confused. Some of you seem to be desperately lying to yourselves because you need SW to be good. Just call it what it is and move on to better things. MD basically said it was disappointing but is paying good money to go back to the theater and see it again... just baffling.

Go fuck yourself. You don't get to tell people what they like and why. You aren't baffled, you're just an asshole.

If that is the case it wasn’t that mind melting.

Could be all the ships arriving, Rey destroying the sith, or Kylo saving Rey, onky to die himself... too many to choose from.

if all the planet destroying star destroyers were still trying to leave Exogol, what where all the star destroyers falling from the sky on Bespin, Jakuu and Endor?

In a weird way they are, right? Didn't Palpatine impregnate Anakin's mother through the force or some shit? So in a way he's like Anakin's dad, making him also Kylo Ren's great-grandfather? And Rey would be some sort of aunt to Kylo?

My biggest beef is that it's yet another JJ Abrams retread of another movie. This time, of course, its ROTJ. And why wouldn't it be, right? I've decided the man may have original thoughts, but no original stories.

Things I liked:
- Palpatine. I thought he was used very well. Know how Lucas intended to end his 12-movie series with him, this made sense.
- the Sith temple. Cool stuff
- Harrison Ford. I was actually surprised!
- Ben Ren's redemption. I don't like he was redeemed, but HOW it was done was fantastic. I'm glad he died
- the Jedi voices. Fucking awesome
- the fact Rey is a Palpatine
- the last scene. Very emotional
- Rey using force lightning.


Things I did not like:
- Finn. Useless character. Nothing in any of these movies makes you care one whit for whether he lives or dies. As mentioned above, REEEEY!!
- Poe. Terrible character. We're supposed to believe he's the general that leads the Rebellion to victory? God, I wish he had died.
- Along with Finn and Rey, these three characters had absolutely ZERO of the chemistry Luke, Leila and Han had. Just terrible. They should've found away to tell her story without trying to copy the "big three" of the first trilogy. Lightning in a bottle, man...
