I can't believe this was the most civil panel of people talking about TLJ on the internet
Blindwave.
I’m actually proud of them for this
@@landovendetta8516 Its definitely Blindwave, but this is a solid second
It’s fucking ridiculous right?
Game informer - GO
I like how this was so long that we got 2 Watto appearances lol
“Why is the dad jealous Nick?” 😂
Most people: “the Irishman is too long”
The same people: *watches 3 hour podcast about 2.5 hour movie*
The people who sit and watch a 3 hour podcast are weird. Listen to it while doing other stuff people
I watch on my iPad while gaming 🤷♂️
I hate just listening to a podcast, can’t do it.
Because the Irishman was boring. This was hilarious lol
@@sleezyimpalass which isn't just sitting and watching it. you're "doing other stuff"
IcyFlamez96 I feel ya. But I’m actively watching it. I pretty much always watch something on my iPad while gaming. I never just listen, I have to have the visuals or I can’t pay attention. Games take forever lol because I pause so often to watch closely for a few minutes then back to the game.
Nick exposed: This episode - No one asks Greg to do this
Last episode - Texts Greg, ‘we’re doing show earlier do you wanna come do Waddo’
We all know you love it 😍
Watto at 1:06:40
A criminally short Watto cameo!
I fucking hate it! So stupid
*Watto walks in"
Nick: "Nobody ask for this"
Wrong Nick I asked for this. Love Watto 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If Watto isn't in these videos I will rage and never come back to KF ever again.
"2 and a half hours on a movie everyone hated!" had me dying haha
I asked and begged for it. This is the best thing about the in review.
Ok, because this is the second time we discuss about the First Order and the Resistance and the why's of it all. Here is what the tie-in books tells us.
- Both the First Order and the Resistance are paramilitary organizations. So, yes, the First Order is smaller than the Empire.
- The First Order's army is Hux's and most of the technology is repurposed Imperial tech.
- The new Republic never really took off the way it was pre-empire. There were a lot of people and systems that were perfectly fine with an Empire.
- Leia got kicked out of the senate because some members of the First Order in the senate spread the "rumor" that she was Vader's daughter. Upon realizing that the threat of the First Order was getting increasingly dangerous, she creates a "Resistance" force to push those advances back. That is not backed by the Senate or the Republic AT ALL.
I hope someone from KF reads this and it explains it somehow.
You shouldn't have to read tie-in books to understand this though.
Thank you so much for this. It’s a shame they make you read something else to understand the story. Its like EA with micro transactions
shouty33 no this shit literally could of been explained in the Force Awakens crawl ya donut. People shouldn’t have to read a companion book in order to understand very important lore that should of been in the movie in the first place.
ArkRaider22 I absolutely agree with you. But unfortunately, that’s the way it is.
Thunder025 Star Wars is no longer a movie franchise. It is a multi media venture. The entire canon story stretches across movies, tv shows, novels, comics and video games. I agree there are things in the books that explain things that could have had a throw away line in the movies.
Like Rey having a flight simulator program that she played with for years when she wasn’t scavenging being the reason she knows how to fly. All they needed was one short scene of her playing with it to sell it.
I think this the BEST review for this film, anyone who loves or hates this film can relate to any of their criticisms or praises, well done boys.
Andy referring to Rey: There is finally and awesome female jedi
Ahsoka Tano: Excuse me!?
Ahsoka is literally better than Rey as a character in every way lol. Especially in Rebels S2.
Not everyone watches cartoons.
@@ArcticFox63 THANK YOU
@@TheAndyCortez Plus you are only talking about the films not the show. So you are still correct in saying that.
@@ArcticFox63 Maybe ya'll should start:P
i would not be so hard on this movie if it was like Rogue One or Solo and a side story but this is the 2nd to the last episode in this series and it dropped the ball in so many places. For me the worst offense that this movie made was it took all the tension and stakes away from the series by ruining the bad guys. The mistake was watering down Hucks to a slap stick comedy character, killing off Snoke after doing nothing with him, and leaving us with a twice defeated and a humiliated Kylo with little motivation beyond wanting to kill his mom, a girl that rejected him and their buddies.
2 years have calmed these guy’s opinions of the movie.
Haha kevin started with Not good great not good. The last time it was hilarious I listen to it regularly enough on spotify
Sort of
I rewatched it and I was like ok ok ok..... Oh yeah the casino planet
Nick said "Really graged acefully." Made me laugh for some reason. Anyways, carry on.
Love a good Spoonerism
@@Mike_L. Me too
Johnny Ace grages acefully Lol
I’m pretty sure Nick is misunderstanding the “cloaking” tech. I think they only mean cloaked from scanners, not actual invisibility.
This was The Irishman of KF in Review
I just want to say, it might be really random, but thank you guys. Hearing you talk about plot, character development, theme placement, and various story mechanics has led to me being able to figure out a screenplay I've been writing for a month. I was stuck on so many things and listening to nick and tim talk about story structure in these in reviews has literally led to me developing my story in a better way. THANK YOU KINDAFUNNY!
Goddamn y’all must love this movie almost 3hrs
Their reviews are always longer when they either don't like or they all have mixed opinions on the film.
Very mixed lol
Yea I figured I was just being sarcastic. I remember how mixed they were when it came out.
Also Andy going “NO, fucking Jesus” when Warri lulled around had me wheezing
So where are Obi-Wan and Anakin as Force Ghosts when Luke was gonna kill Ben?
Okay, let's get this out of the way. I don't think TLJ is inconsistent with Luke's character. Think of it like this:
In Luke's lessons to Rey he mentions how the vanity of the Jedi brought upon their downfall in the hands of Darth Sidious, alluding to the fact that it was also Luke's hubris that caused his own errors.
Luke, as we know him in the Original Trilogy, is impulsive, insecure and tempted by the Dark Side of The Force, even though he resists it. However, his father never did resist, only abandoning it in his final moments. Luke knows the Dark Side is immensely destructive, having turned his father, a promising Jedi, into a mass murdering monster that struck fear throughout the galaxy.
Having bested the Sith, a slightly older Luke finds himself in a position of power, The legendary Last Jedi, tasked with creating a new Jedi Order.
Enter his greatest challenge yet: Ben Solo. His nephew, filled with great, raw power and already in his infancy showing a predilection towards the Dark Side, one much greater than Luke's. A blood relative who shows all the tendencies of a young Vader, the same Vader that tore the galaxy apart.
But his sister and his best friend trusted him with Ben because they couldn't handle him anymore. So it's up to Luke Skywalker, legendary Jedi Master, to guide this boy toward the light. However, the challenge was too great for Luke, who is basically a self-taught Jedi that has already shown a weakness for the Dark Side, only having backed away from it in the last minute, when he was about to murder his own father.
And once more, when going to Ben's tent to assess how deep was the darkness inside the boy's heart, the Dark Side in Luke shows itself. In a fleeting flash of pure instinct, as Luke sees the boundless pit of hatred and despair inside Ben, he feels fear for what he might become. In a moment of weakness he lights his saber and thinks that he could just end it all right there, never allowing for Ben's viciousness to truly blossom.
And almost as quickly he stops himself. But it's too late. The grave mistake was made and all was lost.
And that mistake tore Luke apart. Thanks to his weakness, his insecurity and his vanity, The New Jedi Order is over, half his students are dead and half are gone. All because he couldn't contain the dark impulses inside himself.
So he is now a broken man, who abandoned his life, his friends and his religion. Just like Yoda, when confronted with his failings, he exiles himself. And by renouncing the Force and vowing to never approach it again, Luke becomes just a man, waiting for death.
But truthfully, in his heart, he doesn't really lose all hope. He still kept his X-Wing, he didn't kill himself and he doesn't burn the Sacred Jedi Texts. A part of him still thinks there might be hope. Like in Cast Away, he keeps on surviving until the day the sea brings him a sail. Rey.
But even then it's crazy to think that he can stand alone against the entire army of the First Order. He is just one person. A failure in his own eyes. But like Leia says, fighting is not about just blowing stuff up. It's also about being a good leader, an inspiration.
The Galaxy that has forsaken Leia and the Resistance needs a dramatic example to shake them out of apathy and that couldn't be achieved as a man. As a man, Luke is flesh and blood, he can fail, he can be destroyed; but as a symbol he can be infallible, incorruptible, everlasting.
So he doesn't go to Crait as a man, but as Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master. He accepts that his role as a Legend is much greater than himself, seeing as it was his legend that inspired Rey and so many others across the Galaxy.
And with a single, calculated act, Luke shows everyone that the Galaxy's fearsome enemy isn't invincible. And by doing so he keeps the spark of the Rebellion alive, inspiring countless others across the Galaxy with the story of what happened that day, when one single Jedi faced down the Whole First Order, with nothing but a Lightsaber (or a Laser Sword) in his hand.
And like Obi-Wan, after his job is done, he vanishes, becoming one with the Force.
THANK YOU
Thank you! This is what I took away from the film. I think too many people just want him to be an invincible superhero and that’s not what these movies are.
Finally an intelligent person!
Wonderful encapsulation of how I feel about Luke. My friends don't see it this way and I wish they did. I'll need to share this with them.
@@ethan-scott I get that impression as well. Like some people wanted him to come out force pulling star destroyers out of the sky. He's still a formidable badass, but just not in that way. He's not a Super Saiyan
Kylo and Rey i very much enjoyed. Everything else meh to bad. The story just didnt do it. Episode 7 made me excited for 8. 8 didnt make me excited for 9.
I wish more people were like you. I disagree but I can relate and understand your point of view.
Love this comment. What a reasonable take.
I need a KF/AF bit where Kevin and Tim attend a screenwriting class.
One of my main problems with the new trilogy is that i dont find the first order even slightly menancing
Yeah I mean blowing up an entire solar system is just not menacing enough because.... uh, women or something
Yep, only thing they do is keep yelling
Slightly Irritated Video Game Geek That’s a bad deed, but tell me why the actual characters emit menace? Because they yell a lot?
"No thank you,"
-Andy Cortez 2019
Guys 😂 it’s pronounced Donal. Domhnall is just the Irish spelling. 👍🇮🇪
Thanks Nick & KF this maybe one of my favorite reviews
1:42:54 just a little personal time stamp whenever I need a laugh
Thanks for this, forgot to note the time earlier
Lmaooooo
"The Chicxulub impactor had an estimated diameter of 11-81 kilometres (6.8-50.3 mi), and delivered an estimated energy of 21-921 billion Hiroshima A-bombs"
My thing about the space chase was like, did tractor beams not get better in the last 30 years? You think someone would be like “hey, this tech that rips ships out of space and makes them are bitch is something we should double down on.” It’s just weird that it’s not shown at all let alone, not shown to be more advanced.
"Science with Kev, yeah" - Andy 😂
Almost 3 hours?..its gonna feel like I'm watching LOTR and I love LOTR
Or you know.. it's going to feel like The Last Jedi...
Less walking
This whole movie reeks of a director who wanted to have these moments but didn’t care at all how we got there
My favorite thing in this film is definitely the shot framing and composition, it’s out of this world
This series and this video in particular is absolute S tier kinda funny content
I find it very interesting that Star Wars super-fans will pick this movie apart piece by piece but ignore so many similar oddities/continuation errors/"bad writing" of the original trilogy.
Ramming a ship in another is a classic military strategy since ships we're invented. It's not a genius move, it's the first thing you try.
I have a different take on the Prequel and Sequel Trilogy. I think the Prequels are bad standalone movies but good Saga movies. The Sequel Trilogy are good standalone movies, but bad Saga movies. The Prequels work when you take a step back and look at them from a big picture perspective, but they are plaqued by countless execution problems. The Sequel Trilogy movies don’t work when you look at them from a big picture perspective but they are fine when you look at them on their own merit.
Jared Johnson Thanks for the response. Are you a fan of The Prequel Trilogy? Sequel Trilogy? I’m always interested in different takes on the Saga as 9 movies will always look one way compared to another fan at this point.
I think the prequels are better when you view them like that, moment to moment maybe not lol
So let's break down a couple of these points for people who don't understand how Star Wars works.
1. *Why can't the First Order can't jump in front of the Resistance ships?* Because although you can jump to lightspeed whenever, you'll most likely die like Holdo. In Star Wars, faster than light travel is performed along already charted hyperspace routes, like space highways, and nowhere else. Short hyperspace hops just aren't a thing you do.
2. *Why don't they call in more ships?* Because it would take longer for them to get there than it takes for the Resistance to run out of fuel. Also it's pointless since they already know they're going to catch them in a few hours.
3. *Why didn't the eagles fly the ring to Mordor?* I know this isn't Star Wars related, but still, ya'll forget about the flying Nazgûl? Also, even if this wasn't a stupid plan that basically paints a giant target on the ring telling Sauron exactly where it is, the eagles aren't real eagles. They're Maiar spirits just like Gandalf, and are prohibited by Manwë, the leader of the gods, from interfering in mortal affairs. Gandalf himself was not allowed to do anything but offer sage advice until he came back as Gandalf the White and was allowed to confront Sauron directly.
4. *Why won't Snoke just kill people from a distance?* Many Jedi powers doesn't work unless the force user can see their target. As long as the Resistance doesn't pick up his phonecall they're good.
Not so much an answer to a question as a comment. The Empire were not the Nazis, the Empire are the US. Star Wars is a Vietnam protest. This is straight from George Lucas himself, so don't even @ me.
5. *Why are they the Resistance and not the Rebellion?* They're completely different organisations. The Rebel Alliance, formally the Alliance to Restore the Republic was formed by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, and was reorganized into the New Republic after the Battle of Endor. Then the First Order started making moves, but the New Republic wasn't overly concerned and thought it was an exaggerated threat by war-hawks like Leia, so she went and formed her own military based on the Alliance, and that's the Resistance. They are far smaller than the Rebel Alliance was, and have basically no resources.
6. Admiral Holdo. Let's talk a bit about who she is. She was basically a politician who joined the Alliance and once when she was put in charge because everyone else had died, she came up with a plan so dumb, it actually worked. This earned her a reputation as a master strategist and she was promoted to captain. Rebels amirite? ;D She was also friends with Leia and when Holdo joined the Resistance she got the title of Vice Admiral. No conflict of interest here, b0ss. Nepotism, what even is that? Sounds like a Sith Lord to me. >_>
Most things in Star Wars make sense once you realise that the Rebels/Resistance are a bunch of incompetent nobodies who have no formal military training. They do stupid shit because they're stupid, and the only reason they win anything ever is because the Force wills it, all for the sake of "balance".
JJ never writes anything with the answers in mind. Have you seen Lost????
I guess Andy is right about the Holdo maneuver. Even if she had the idea to the hyper drive strike earlier, she doesn’t talk and would rather let people die then share her plan.
Channing Tatum is not in this movie lmao I don't know what Barrett is talking about. Tried Googling for 5 minutes and NOTHING comes up. If this were true there would be tons of articles.
This is a TH-cam Channel Also Prince William and Harry got cut from the film.
Rob Taylor I think Leonardo DiCaprio also had a cameo with a cut Brad Pitt Voice over the ship. & I heard Robert D. Jr was a Porg.
Just wanted to hop in again and say that after rewatching the OG trilogy, it's crazy to get mad at last jedi when they share some of the same nitpicky flaws people throw around.
Yes, there seems to be a lot of irrational hatred toward everything in this movie just because people don’t like certain things. I think The Last Jedi is brilliant!
Cheers to you people! Finally who like the Last Jedi too...
fraulsto I agree the new movies aren’t that bad
I look forward to two years from now when you guys review this movie for a third time.
damn, i’m so glad the guys finally brought in a star wars expert with a real first hand experience of the films
thank god for watto
Fun Fact: The plans that discovered the Dreadnaught's one weakness were discovered and delivered to the Resistance in the Battlefront 2 DLC. Also, I don't know what "fun" means.
What was the weakness? Bombs? lol
Yeah, I watched it. It went kinda as I was expecting. Started with a really nice discussion but just ended with them ranting about small stuff (and fair points too) and saying 2 sentences about the good things.
Barrett, you’re the champ here. I too often am the single guy who loves this movie in a group of friends that hate it and that don’t let me finish my thoughts when we’re discussing it. I also want to hit my head in the microphone sometimes.
Anyway, In Review is always good to watch. I love the sequels so far and I am super hyped for IX.
Jared Johnson lol this was a very tame review if TLJ.
Barrett and Andy, with you COMPLETELY
There was an episode of rebels where the empire tracked the ghost through hyperspace
10:16 Andy that statement wasn’t very maclunkey of you.
I don’t understand the constant need to state that this movie was trying something different as one of its positives... if the different things it does are mostly bad than it’s bad movie.
revbertbetbn its literally a copy of empire and jedi but since it ‘subverts expectations’ its original.. don’t understand people lmao
exactly
It depends, doesn't it? Saying you don't like something, and saying that something is bad are two very different things. And I think the reason why they use "different" instead of bad is because they don't think it's bad, they just don't like it. There is no Star Wars movie like TLJ, and while that may not be what fans wanted, it's still a well made movie that a lot of people like (and quite a few dislike) because it does things differently, but not necessarily "badly"
I'm with Barrett, ep8 is easily #3. He seems to get defensive and frustrated and that's sad to see. The Last Jedi has a ton of positive points that many fans seem to ignore in their vitriol, and I'm glad that these panel members are so respectful to each other.
Was that a Tuscan Raider in the background around the 18 minute mark?
Doggie dog Nick Scarpino spitting TRUTH for solid 3 hours
I really enjoy his input in all these reviews; both the appropriate and the inappropriate
If there was ever an excuse for editing a movie post-release like Lucas did with A New Hope, it would be to give us Luke’s green lightsaber
Robert Rees I haven’t looked into it at all about any theories but Anakin’s light saber there makes no sense. Makes total sense that he’d have projected himself younger as Kylo remembered him to invoke an emotional response but Ren would’ve known Luke with the green saber. Ren would’ve know that Anakin’s saber was destroyed in the Throne room. I’ll never understand this bit.
What Barrett says at the end is true and I wished he'd felt more confident in what he was saying. Finn absolutely has an arc in this movie; he only cared about Rey in TFA and at the beginning of this, showed that he only cared about Rey when he tries to abandon everyone to go to her. At the end, he tries to sacrifice himself for the Rebellion. He goes from abandoning everyone to trying to die for everyone (which he should've). A lot of the character motivations and arcs in this movie are great. There's definitely a lot of dumb things that happen, but there's a lot of good in it as well.
why dont the rebels do one of two things:
either split the rebels up into those 3 ships and go to light speed in three different directions . they could only chase down one and two would get away.
or two
if they can go light speed and take out ships why not when their ships are near out of gas don't they light speed into the first order and thus let them get away
nick explaining the laser on the salt planet part was so fucking funny
Never been happier to not skip the adda
I always look forward to the watto cameos
In the Allegiance comic, Poe asks Finn if him and Rose are a couple and Finn says their kiss was a one time thing and that they were friends.
Nicholas C.K. 2:26:13
What an entertaining episode. My favourite parts were "NO. I WON'T GO BACK. THEY HAVE SHOWN ME THE WAY" and "Jealous dad". So funny.
And looks like it's the longest In Review episode so far.
regardless of your opinion on TLJ, it definitely has the most to talk about.
@@caelinnis true
I was a little nervous going into this review because I figured it would be a 2 plus hours of shitting on the movie and knew that would upset a lot of people (I've moved towards an overall indifference towards TLJ instead of a hatred that many people have). I'm pleased to say that even though you guys have your moments and really dig into the film I think you guys did a good job at not being obnoxious or mean spirited about it. Here's to hoping The Rise of Sywalker will be great!
You say it's crazy that Luke left, but it was JJ who set that up =P lol
Yes and no. JJ did have Luke on Ahch-To, that is correct, but we don't know the reasons why Luke had gone and stayed there until TLJ. And that has always been my biggest issue with TLJ and Luke's character in the film.
We get two lines from Han in TFA about Luke, one was about how Luke had an apprentice that turned against him, and he felt responsible, and then the line about 'the people who knew him best thought he went in search of first Jedi Temple'. That leaves it open.
With hindsight, and how JJ 'said' that the plan was always to bring Palpatine back, I wonder if JJ had planned it out that Luke had seen or sensed Palpatine's return, and had gone in search of first Jedi Temple in hopes of finding out how Palpatine could have done so. And that is why he is on Ahch-To, not because Luke wants to die all alone.
@@thejediofchicago6580 true that could have also been a more interesting way to do it, but I always saw Lukes destiny as redeeming Anakin , so after that I can see how is lack of training and teaching cause him insecurity and caused him to think his power only made things worst by training people who he cannot control. Luke has the potential and the great power in the force but his insecurities, which he also had in the original movies have clouded him once again, which is why Yoda has to once again set him straight at the end. Obviously this could have been done much earlier on, however if they're going with destinies it can be argued that it was Rey's destiny to kick this all on motion. Anyway what's done is done lol, it would have been better if the end of the saga was just 6, but I can live with what we got. I'm excited to see what they do outside the Skywalker saga, and hopefully they really take Filonis input seriously because he really gets star wars in a way George initially did. Cheers!
Nick, gun to your head. The Last Jedi or The Departed?
I want an Armageddon In Review now.
I think the blue lightsaber used by Luke to mess with Kylo. Play on his emotions even further by using his grandfather's original saber.
It was also meant to be a clue to the red hering. I mean it’s anikins lightsaber covered in red....to show you he’s not there.....Tim.
Maybe but it’s still dumb, lol at that point we know Rey and Kylo broke the saber right? so it just doesn’t make sense whether he’s there or not, it would’ve been better had we not seen them break it, it ruins the reveal that he’s not actually there.
Why did she need to be on the ship? The captain goes down with the ship. Plus launching into hyperdrive into the enemy was a beautiful sight to see.
I don’t usually agree with your rankings (your MCU ranking is very different from mine), but this ranking (of the saga films at least) is exactly the same as mine
here we go
I've listened to the first 15 minutes and I would like to thank you guys for not being part of the internet mob. I was afraid you wouldn't give this movie a proper shot and instead, even if you hated it at first, you've been willing to look at the positives of it. This is the kind of conversation Star Wars as a fandom needs: it's okay to disagree, but the people calling this movie "the worst movie ever made" (or the best for that matter) are being childish and ridiculous. I appreciate your civility. Love you guys.
My list so far:
1. Empire 10
2. New Hope 10
3. Last Jedi 9
4. Force Awakens 8.5
5. Return of the Jedi 8.5
6. Rogue One 8
7. Revenge of the Sith 6.5
8. Phantom Menace 4.5
9. Clones 3
Can the ranking graphic at the end please be on screen for more than 10 seconds? Seems a bit silly since that's the entire point of the show
3 hours?! Oh lordy, let's go
Yeah because scarif gets blown up thats why it takes like 40 years for hyperspace tracking to become a thing again
Also she Does Exhale before the Explosion on the bridge and just use force Pull to pull herself towards the ship Momentum is a thing
I'm rewatching the movies lately and something I noticed about the so called marry poppins scene.
If you watch the fire in the background of the shot you can see that the long shot on Leia's face is in slomo, so really she wasn't out there as long as it seemed lile she was.
Also because of how physics works if someone in empty space were to pull an object with much more mass the object will not come towards the person, the person would fly towards the object, in that way this scene is much more scientifically accurate than basically all of the space battles in any star wars movies.
Also if the bombers were in sub orbit the bombs would absolutely drop.
Also how the fuck does del toro know holdo's plan? Fin and rose didn't even know it.
The Last Jedi's my favorite star wars film simply for the Luke storyline. I completely agree with Johnson's take on the character.
Visually it's absolutely a stunning film but there are so many questionable character arcs, plot holes and overall bad writing which results in a forgettable movie, ala the majority of the prequels.
If you watched Force Awakens then Rise of Skywalker you really wouldn't feel like you missed much at all besides Luke, TLJ was a strangely paced movie. Hopefully ROS restores more of what Force Awakens provided and has a better flow.
TFA was ass. Idk why you'd be calling for a return to that kind of film. TLJ was 10x better
@@BlazerManiacNumber96 Eh, that's your opinion. You're entitled to it. I'm glad you liked TLJ, I wish I did but I just didn't and that is OK.
14:57 Nick nails it here. The filmmakers chickened out on the plot of this film. And that fucking sucks.
Holdo explains why she won’t tell Poe the plan. He’s a hotheaded, recently demoted asshat. If shit didn’t go wrong her plan would have worked. Leaders don't have to tell their plan to every underling in real life. Only with hindsight people don't like that she didn't tell Poe.
Ackbar dying off screen isn't a plot hole either. That's just something you don't like and the only reason you don't like it is because he's a meme because, like Barrett said, he's only been on screen for 6 minutes prior to this. This is another example of expectations and personal biasisms getting in the way of your enjoyment.
Coincidence is a massive part of Star Wars but instead it's called the force. The force guides this stuff all the time in very coincidental ways.
I don't understand the hate for this movie in regards to it ruining Luke's character. That was set up in The Force Awakens by Han. If anything you should be mad at that movie. Not this one.
Saying Snoke is like Phasma and Boba Fett because he doesn't have a backstory while The Emperor didn't have a back story for 30 years makes no sense. Who was the Emperor? Why did he look like that? Why was in power? You never got to know until they made the prequels.
For me the force was always "grey" the same way nature is. Death and destruction being necessary to life. It's people who are good or evil in star wars. I,ve always interpreted it as people using it badly one way or another. People being repsonible for its abuses. The Force itself being balance or there'd eventually be a wiping out of Sith or Jedi but dark side always returns and good side always returns as tho trying to balance the equation.
Barrett and Andy you are my favorite kind of people.
The ship explosion was only as big as it was because the kyber crystal was also destroyed, kyber crystals absorb and amplify energy.
Holdo had to be on the ship because otherwise the first order would have scanned no life forms and focused fire on the escape ship.
Space is pretty close to absolute zero, but it's not a good conductor of heat. There's nowhere for the heat in your body to dissipate to.
1:06:40
2:26:15 I died.
I love Watto 😁
2:26:17 PRICELESS
Guys, Admiral Holdo didn't need to disclose her plan to ANYONE! She was the commander. She issues orders, soldiers follow orders. That's it! Poe, who was just demoted for disobeying a direct order had no right to demand that info from her. He followed it up by undermining her mission! In war his actions should have resulted in him having his commission stripped, and being jailed. In the US the Uniform Code of Military Justice would have justified executing him on the spot.
Rise of Skywalker has gotta open with a 5-way of Rey,Rose,Finn and BB-8 with Poe at the center, let's just get it over with and beat rule 34 to the punch
The reason I watch these reviews are for Watto
It’s true everyone that goes to Vegas is bad, Nick even you 😂❤🎉
I don’t know why you think last Jedi can’t borrow from Jedi or empire when Star Wars is based on the 1930 serials that’s exactly what cereals did back in the day

Nick is very charged about Finn's sacrifice but what he doesn't realize is Finn's ship would've done jack shit to that giant cannon. You saw how it was melting that bucket of bolts. Finn's "sacrifice" wouldve meant nothing and stopped nothing if rose didn't stop him. Now he has a chance to actually finish his fight in IX.
I weirdly remember Luke drinking the milk out of teet of the beast
I find it pretty amazing that people punch holes in The Last Jedi’s feasibility when it comes to the science and physics but not for literally any other Star Wars movie.
This is a children’s fantasy film guys.
The prequels were made for children. All other Star Wars movies are made for everyone.
There are plenty of holes in the other SW films that get poked by fans (famously the Luke and Leia relationship) but that is understood because most of those issues were due to the story not being completed. Many issues with the Sequel trilogy come from the fact that they are acting like it is a brand new trilogy nearly completely separate from the previous six films with only familiar characters connecting them.
It's still boring and doesn't follow its own rules.
Honestly this movie was dope, great cinematogrophy and setpieces, I was quite surprised that some people didn't like this one, but very interested in hearing the panels thoughts! :)
I’ve spent more time watching this than the actual movie. I feel TLJ will go down as one of the most infamous blockbusters in history
Nicks right
Dune by Denis Villeneuve is going to be what star wars should be. Not rushed, not hashed together; one idea coming from one artist. "A star wars for grown ups."
