Ultimately, I'm guessing they're done with the Skywalker story but it'd be a damn shame not to continue Rey's adventures in some form. Too good a character and performance to leave it at Rise.

And I'd kill to see a Rise of Kylo Ren series on Disney+.

Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are the best things about the sequel trilogy

But you're right, taking away that "message" from the movie is as cynical as it gets.

So you’re here to be a firebrand and reshape all our minds?

You just sound like an asshole at this stage.

But I’m sure that isn’t unintentional.

Oh yeah it's because the filmmakers had to remake Return of the Jedi again.

What about this is a ROTJ retread? Many people have said this and I'm curious what they mean by it. I'm not going to argue or fight or attack you (or anyone else) I'm just really curious. What do you mean when you say that?

Practically every story beat of the last act. Note for note for note.

It probably says too much about me but I thought the pace worked from the first viewing. And it was only strengthened by the second. I think this movie is really well paced.

I’ve been manic lately and I had to take a Xanax halfway through the movie on first viewing because the pace was too much for me and my mind was flying

You're not alone friend. Tons of people had the same experience. Have you had a chance to see it again yet?

Yup. Still felt there was too little time before we reached another action sequence
