Kylo: "Before I kill her, Supreme Leader, may I ask something?"
Snoke: "What?"
Kylo: "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Maul?"
Lol I thought that too!
YOU WIN!
Lmao awesome.
Nice, very nice
Darth Maul was killed by Obiwan in rebels ...
Luke Skywalker wasn't kidding when he told Rey he wasn't leaving that island.
nuffsaidNY lol
Best comment here.
Like can’t shake off them alien titties!
@@TouFast91 underrated comment
@THE FIRE RISES or just maybe.......it's fuck you?
The greatest irony, is that both side’s love for Star Wars is the reason they’re so willing to tear each other apart.
Tommy, "yor tear'n me apaht lisa!"
Bryce Ebert Exactly. One side is devoted the the original trilogy and good movies, and the other side is devoted to the prequels and stupid crap.
Bryce Ebert, reminds me of a joy division song.
@@Heartland.Productions so anyone who liked the new trilogy doesn't have taste in good movies.....wtf
@@imperfect_dan7519 No. I didn't really clarify sorry. I love the originals and the sequels because they are good films. The prequels are awful.
Why wasn't this whole trilogy planned out ahead of time?
only god knows
They probably did have it planned out, it’s just that rian johnson took too many creative liberties.
@@llla_german_ewoklll6413 It's Kathleen Kennedy's job to stop shit like that.
I have a theory that disney intentionally screwed this trilogy as part of a sophisticated marketing technique to gain tons of hype and chatter through outrage. Screwing up releases has become common in games and movies so I’m sure we’ll start catching onto this next generation approach
@@CrispyHulk1 or they are just incompetent. George Lucas put his trust in the wrong people. But they had the money so...
The guard fight scene did something I read question about like back in 2012:
“Why doesn’t Jedi during a lightsaber block just turn off the lightsaber and turn it back on in enemy’s face?”
AND THEY FUCKING DID IT. FINALLY.
Max twice!
In one of the Swtor cinematic trailers you get to see something similar when one Jedi dual wielded a single hilt and a double-bladed lightsaber at the same time.
fucking goosebumps during that entire scene
Fifth grade playground conversations right there.
Jeje The Human Oh sir incredible adult, since you decided to bless us with your presence, would you do us mere fifth-graders an honor of educating us on your mysteries of having an adult conversation then?
R.I.P admiral ackbar 1983 - 2017,Lost but never forgotten
x6x batman it was a hell of a ride
It's a trap! One might say that he was the chosen one
o7 Home One. What a way to go out.
x6x batman Top Ten saddest anime deaths of all time
He was my favorite character 😢 #TheLastTrap
that moment when u realize they free the horses, but leave the child slaves behind.
You say that as if they had a choice. What were they suppose to do? Release those kids into the Canto Bite wilderness where they'll starve to death? Or take them along with them into a bloody war zone where they'll probably be obliterated by laser fire? If you haven't noticed, the rebellion don't keep kids around. Leaving those kids where they were was kind of there best option for the time, and I'm sure they planned on rescuing them after the First Order is defeated and the war is over.
@@HOTD108_ good idea. Leave the kids behind, even though there would be a chance they would survive and have a future instead of slavery for the rest of their lives
@@HOTD108_ or take them and drop them off on another part of the planet and get them once they escape the first order.
Lol and those slave kids are going to be the ones to clean up that mess.
@@mansifacio5458 bring kids into a warzone vs leave them where they are, where they have food and shelter until the end of the war. Pretty obvious choice.
A little sad to see this after Rise of Skywalker came out and made a lot of what Chris liked about Last Jedi irrelevant.
Yeah, it's sad that he says here that he can't wait to see what they do in episode 9
I liked Rise of Skywalker. Loved TFA. Did not like The Last Jedi. It feels like three different Star Wars groups now. Those that loved the Original Trilogy. Those that appreciated the prequels. Those that didnt mind the Disney Trilogy. For me it makes no nevermind. Live long and prosper, Star Wars die hards.
- a simple Trekker 🖖
I love the original trilogy. I appreciate episodes 1 and 2 but they’re just not rewatchable for me. ROTS is almost as good as the original trilogy. I even liked the sequels up until ROS. I felt like ROS contributed nothing to the plot. I hate that they brought back Palpitine. Kylo Ren should have been supreme leader and they needed to come up with a clever way to bring an end to the sequel trilogy.
@@omieg89 agreed, palpatine living lessens Vader's sacrifice for Luke and makes the ending celebration scene on Endor not as poignant :(
Rian J made TFA irrelevant so what is your point exactly?
Does no one care the admiral ackbar just died!!! He was the coolest fish in the galaxy!
I cried more than Han, Luke, and K2's deaths combined!
I think I heard him say "its a trap!" just before he died. Sad.
Wyatt Moore I think its cause how he died
he was Rey's father
Ackbar should have been the one to jump the ship into Snoke's ship. That would have been a good send off and made the movie a bit better.
So, are rebels gonna just get giant ships and just light-speed kamikaze into star destroyers from now on?
It was pretty FUCKING effective.
10,000 Subscribers without Videos that h onnestly was my thought and I was like "ummm, why didn't they just do that to the death star with a medical frigate costs 1/20 of a star destroyer and if a ship as large as a Star Destroyer can wipe out a fleet what's the point of fleets."
They're all out of ships. And allies. I think a military victory is off the table now.
Of course. Suicide bombings via aircraft is a patented strategy for good guys fighting against an evil empire...
The CIS should've used that tactic, they had nearly limitless resources and troops.
SirToby with all the advanced technology, you don't think they have auto pilot? They can even get a droid to do it. It doesn't have to be suicide
I hated the rose storyline. She’s a great actress, but it didn’t need to be in the movie as much.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!!!!!
She was alright until they ended it with the romance kiss scene
she was okay until that romance kiss scene
i feel like such an asshole for saying it but i really dislike her face... but its her character makes me hate her face more. im sure i could find her likable in other films
I cannot stand her character. Weird fan girl character who ruins a possibility to take out a super weapon because “hope”. I groaned any time she was on screen
I actually loved the opening skit “oh hi Chris”
Jenn Dear same.
You're tearing us apart! 😭
disagree
It's interesting because The Room is as good as TLJ!!!
RIP ADMIRAL ACKBAR
What? He died? When?
ITS A COP OUT
yes. When Leia got blasted into space.
CCTV9 Bruh Admiral is laying in wait.
Phasma's death was so irrelevant Chris didn't even mention it lmao!
TheSubPredicate if it's a death, that fall is trope fall which is rather 50/50 on if they die or not.
TheSubPredicate if she was dead they would have shown it.
Maybe she is not dead (i hope)
I think she got the Boba treatment? :))
What's the point of her character anyways? Basically a foil to Finn
"I did not hit Rey, it's not true, it's wookie shit, I did not hit her!
Oh hi, Hux"
B+
Would've given an A but you forgot "I did not" at the end.
I love how you always shout out people who helped you, towards the beginning of the video, and not just put them in the description, at the very bottom, that no one reads. That's good shit, thumbs up to you.
I totally thought Luke was gonna raise his X-Wing outta the ocean
JoMas right!!!!
That would have been cool.
That's an expectation, and they intentionally tried to avoid every single one you might have had. And the film suffered heavily for it.
Thought he would have done fucking SOMETHING!!
First he has to raise his career out of the swamp
It got very emotional when Luke said to Leia: "No one is ever truly gone."
JVAL123 *gone
why is that emotional?
he was referring to bringing back Anakin despite everyone in his life telling him that he was gone. I welled up in that moment in the film. Strongly disliked it as a whole though
Joel Mais not really since Carrie Fisher died most people see it like that
NarcoticDimension For the star wars lore it's because Luke knew he was going to probably go away, as per reality it's actually Carrie who went first. So there's that impact that we probably won't see Leia anymore, specially when the people behind star wars vowed not to use CGI to bring her back.
24 minutes and not a single second spent on general hucks
Harry The Sailor that is because Hucks is a shitty poorly implemented character. And bringing up how he made each scene he was in crappy and tore away any facade of strength the first order gave off would mean maybe his review isnt quite right.
@@joshpexk1215 he had so much potential after the force awakens, could have been the next Tarkin, but they literally wiped the floor with him.
It's Hux
Alexandru Minzatu Rian ruined him in The Last Jedi, and JJ just went and buried him in TROS.
@@jamesglovecrazy given where episode 8 left Hux I think what JJ did with him in 9 was the best we could ask for.
*_Chris Stuckmann vs Star Wars Fans. Epic Rap Battles of History._*
Duarte Vader they’d be on the same side, actually, since they both agree the movie is good
@@cdagyekybcrpaa Only the millennials! Us old heads ain't jackin none of that bs
@Nikolai Belinski Why can't people just come to peace with each other, some people think the movie is good, some think it's bad, simple. You "true Star Wars fans" (whatever that's supposed to mean) always think you are superior to all other SW fans, you're not. You keep trying your hardest to convince the new audience that the sequels are shit just so you can complain even more about Disney. If you are worried that Star Wars will die, don't worry, even if the sequels were successful, SW would have died anyway. It is A FACT.
Nikolai Belinski that is literally an opinion. You really can’t argue otherwise
@@cdagyekybcrpaa no mate. Just no.
Benicio Del Toro says the most meaningful line in the entire movie - "Finn, let me learn you something, partner. It's all just a big machine. Live free and don't join".
David Krolak Disney is the machine
His character PURELY existed in order to say that line, which is the entire problem with the film. There are a lot of people who LOVE the concept of “Grey area”. They think it makes things “mature” and “complex”. It’s sounds great... in idea. But 90% of people who attempt to tell “Grey” stories fail because Grey isn’t ACTUALLY more complex. It’s usually just bland.
I could be wrong but I think we’ll see a lot of people who lobbe this film for what they feel like it does symbolically for things they support like diversity, feminism, animal rights, etc. but in the end, I think it will age poorly as people realize that there’s not a tua;ly anybody to care about or root for in this film. I’ve already seen people talking about how great this movie is going to “for the kids!” Because of the social agenda it promotes, but I’m like “what kid is going to want to sit through this ultra-long, tedious, boring film?”
The Grey area stuff is going to bore kids more than it bored me. Who is the villain of this film? Kylo Ren? Nope. He’s just bad because Luke failed him and then outright refused to try to make it right. So is Luke the bad guy? Nope. Yoda doesn’t think so and neither should we, apparently. He was just following the dogma of the Jedi Order and their boring and apparently misguided teachings about The Force. So The Jedi need to go away says Luke and Yoda. Except then Luke says The Jedi are just beginning.
What? It’s not more interesting because it’s Grey. It’s just muddy, tedious, and too unfocused for something that’s pure fiction and doesn’t actually matter.
I’ve just got to say how brilliant ‘the biggest teacher, failure is’ from Yoda is, thats my favourite
David Krolak that part
JazGalaxy I don't think this one was "feminist." I had that thought about the Force Awakens after I saw it for the first time, and before hearing any reviews or anyone talking about it. This one does have the animal cruelty stuff, but I don't think that's necessarily bad. People are going to hate on that aspect of the Last Jedi because it was shoehorned in. I guess some people might get upset that diverse characters were also thrown in without any consideration for the tone or pacing, but once again, that's really more of a problem with the writing than with the idea of diversity overall. 8 isn't nearly as bad as 7 in that respect.
personally, i think that episode 9 should begin with her funeral, that she dies of natural causes, and the opening scene is sort of a tribute to her. i think that would be the most respectful way to handle it
Saturday Morning Cheap Seats yeah, i agree
If it does happen I want to see Han have a joint funeral with her.
SO, space cannot kill her but a fucking blood clot or some shit can?
michael ponder they were never gonna kill her off but now its the only realistic and respectful thing to do. Her living in space wouldve been gone into more deeply if Carrie Fisher didnt pass.
POssibly, but she died before this came out and the film could have been edited to just let her go on screen, vs in a crawl. You literally had the footage to take Leia out in a way that honored Carrie's wishes. I mean, she did not even serve a purpose in the film after her Superman scene. They had Leia flying through space as just some afterthought. It is sloppy and now it is gonna be a shit show trying to handle her character without being able to show her.
Just about every movie in cinema history has its' respective "take a pee break" moment. For "The Last Jedi", it's the entire "Canto Bight" scene! You could go out for a four-course dinner during that, and not miss anything!
u would miss world building and finn's entire character arc.
@@Yoda-wf6bu the world building is pretty poor and fin doesn’t even have a real arc in this movie nor even in the trilogy lmao
@@Yoda-wf6bu Finn’s character arc happened in The Force Awakens. Canto Bight has fuck-all going on in terms of his character since his development in that portion is completely washed away by the whole “not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love” scene, where his developed character has a chance to actually do something with that development, only for Rose to fly in at the last minute and basically say he was fine where he was at the beginning of the movie, since that’s exactly what Finn was trying to do at the beginning of the movie: save the person he loved, Rey (not romantically, at least according to RoS, they have, or at least had, legitimate chemistry and friendship). At the end of the movie, Finn has become more invested in the larger conflict at play and sees a chance to save a cause he now holds as being something he is willing to die for. Only for Rose to stop him and send him back to where he was at the beginning of the movie. So Finn never had an arc in this movie.
@@thegrapethief5514 so you just explained his arc in TLJ, lol. Imagine thinking a character has to die for his arc to be complete, or whatever. Rose saved him just as he wanted to save Rey, or everyone else for that matter. Tell me you wouldn't do the same. Tell me you'd watch a friend of yours risk their life for something that might not work at all. Finn's mere thought of sacrificing himself for the whole Resistance completes his arc.
@@i-deni-i5138 “Rose saved him just as he wanted to save Rey” that’s the point I’m making. That’s where Finn was at the beginning of the movie. He lacked much investment in the larger conflict at hand and solely cared about saving his friends. Which is essentially what Rose tells him to do at the end of the movie since his action at the end wasn’t completing his arc because he was going to die, it was completing his arc because he was now invested in the conflict and was willing to sacrifice in order to protect the cause. Rian didn’t even have to set up Finn dying, he could have just put his life in serious danger to protect the Resistance and it would have gotten his growth across. But no, Rose swoops in at the last minute and tells Finn that sacrificing himself to protect a cause he believes in is stupid because he needs to be a leader or “save what he loves” (EVEN THOUGH THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO. God this movie is so fucking stupid and that scene in particular is hilariously ironic considering Rose’s actions directly caused lots of people to die and reduced the surviving Resistance to an even smaller number.) even though the movie earlier painted Admiral Holdo’s thing as extremely heroic and great. Again, Rian didn’t need to set up Finn sacrificing himself. But he jabaits us because that’s the only thing he’s truly fantastic at: ass pulls that come out of nowhere and completely wasting any setup because having a payoff to something you set up is “predictable” in his eyes. Finn had an arc in this movie. But Rose’s dumbass line sends him right back to where he was at the start of the movie.
Don’t believe me? Then maybe consider reading John Boyega’s interview where he talks about how he was treated in the sequel trilogy, and let me tell you that he does not have nice things to say about how he felt Finn was used in The Last Jedi. Then again you TLJ fans don’t seem to care what the actors think because of course only the writers could possibly have good ideas on what to do with characters and what they’re like.
one of my favorite lines early on is that when kylo see rey in the connection scenes he says "your not here the effort would kill you." and on a second or third watching this explains lukes death
*"You're not doing this, the effort would kill you."
Leia is Mary Poppins: CONFIRMED.
Yondu is Mary Poppins!!
Ike Plek I'm Mary Poppins y'all
Leia is Superman's real mother
When the casino world scene started I correctly guessed it was the one scene in the movie where I could safely take a bathroom break.
I felt that way for about half the movie.
I thought Martin Scorsese took over the movie
Haha same
I did this too lol
I thought that'd be a good place on 2nd viewing and decided to ride it out and wound up loving that whole sequence, it's a welcome adventure sandwiched between some very dramatic scenes.
7:02 I knew I wasn't the only one who thought Yoda sounded drunk!
Chris: WHy Is HiS hANd WeT?!?
Me: His ceiling was damp and had some plumbing problems....
It was there to depict Kylo 's sexual awakening through visual storytelling
I am so sad that Papa Ackbar died, may he Rest only In the very best of Pepperonies...
It would have been a lot more badass if he went out with the cruiser instead of that purple haired btch
It really was a trap
Joshua Regalado Yeah, but the guy who played him died, so yeah.
Admiral ackbar died, I have no will to live
Honestly I didn't even notice that he died... lol.
lick
ITS SALT.
I don’t like salt. It’s coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere.
Watsonisawesome lmao also im surprised no one noticed director gareth edwards next to him
oh shit, that was gareth edwards?
Prathap Kutty oh damn I felt like the guy looked fimiliar!
Prathap Kutty I had a feeling a few times they'd throw the director in, like quick shots when an x wing blows up or something
Tauren Guy oh yeah. it was really him, good catch ;)
Who's watching after Episode 9??
Its hard trying to see if 8 or 9 is worse. Probably 9.
Nioshadow I’d definitely say 8 because 9 is so bad mostly because of what happened in 8. Rian Johnson basically ruined 2 Star Wars movies.
Kylo_Ryan without a doubt the fan backlash ruined episode 9 and what would have been an original and thoughtful story.
@Kylo_Ryan you are absolutely correct. TROS is basically a retconned TLJ. Star wars fans are suckers for fan service
Memory Lane.
Can you start telling us where you get your shirts from
Every damn review I always wonder, “What anime movie crossover shirt is he wearing now?”
Okay but I really wanted Rey to lift Luke’s X wing from the water..
Carolina Herrera but then the idiot fanboys would just complain that its too similar to Empire
Empire Strikes Back anyone
Carolina Herrera
After Rey left on the Falcon, I thought he would raise up his X-wing near the end. Didn't think he would use Force projection (if that is what it is called).
Rey didn't even had a good training like Luke had from Yoda in the first trilogy...sooo dissapointing
So did I.
RIP Admiral Ackbar
The TRAP got him in the end
He's gone to the big trap in the sky
How about RIP Luke?!
Martyr 232 His death effected me more than Luke's :(
I kept expecting for that little kid with the broom to start singing “castle in the sky” from Les Mis
Chris, I respect you, but I disagree with you on this one. Yes, this movie is unexpected, in the worst possible way, they cut off all interesting plot points in the movie. Who’s snoke? We don’t know. Why did kylo kill those students? We don’t know? Why is Rey so powerful? We don’t know. How can leiah use the force with no training when JJ specifically said that she had none? We don’t know. Why did kylo join snoke in the first place if he hated him? We don’t know. Why did Luke lose all hope because his student turned, but he didn’t lose hope when he fought literally the most powerful and evil being In the galaxy? We don’t know. We expected answers and we never got any, your misrepresenting lazy writing with it being unexpected. If that’s the case, i can shit on a poster board and hand it in for an art project, and i will deflect all criticism by saying its unexpected. You are completely wrong about Poe, btw. If he listened to Leia, and pulled out, everybody would be dead. He sacrificed a few bombers for the safety of the entire resistance. Also, there is now reason for Haldo to keep the plan away from Poe. If she truly thought he was a fly boy, keeping an “arrogant and hot headed” person like him in the dark is the worst possible solution. If she thought there was a spy on board, that would t have mattered because she revealed it to everyone when she started fueling the transports. A spy would be able to relay that message back to the first order in no time. That was just a classic plot hole.
Imagine... snoke was secretly tommy wiseau the whole time
you are tearing my lightsaber apart!
Night Pasta Lisa
anyway,how is your sex life?
You're tearing me apart Kylo! *Literally*
Ooo hi Luke
I don't think that the kid Force user will necessarily play an important role in the future. They just wanted to show that there is hope in the galaxy and that people are waiting to be led into better lives.that's all.
The Force Awakens, around the galaxy.
Maidros Fëanoron I think he might be Snoke in disguise, back to his old tricks!
I always thought what if the Vader's childhood was showed before we have met the adult Vader. It would be much more powerful. I am not saying that is the case with that kid but imagine the possibilities.
So, basically, back to A New Hope! Small band of rebels vs evil empire! ESB and RoTJ may as well have never happened! :D
That's the way I took it. That there are force users everywhere & there's hope.
man the last jedi was so good people blame disney not having a plan but all jj had to do was be a good writer and tie up was set up in this one like rian did for the The Force Awakens because he actually cared
“Sometimes we can stealth this bitch” is a saying I want to incorporate in my everyday life. Ty Chris love ya.
I am genuinely suprised that they didn't kill off Rose by the end of the film.
Doctor M I also thought she is better off dead.
I was honestly getting ready to start clapping when Finn was trying to kill him self. Than that bitch continued to make the movie bad.
SHAZBOT his sacrifice would have made him a better character and a closure.
Doctor M My guess is that she could be killed in the next one I think
Rose is cancer
Rip Admiral Ackbar
Drew Harrison Only death I cared about
How can we ever sense if there is a trap...
Drew Harrison On crip
His death was so shit that I didnt even notice he died till after the movie
I really like how Chris casually says "Oh hi Tommy." While putting the lightsaber down.
Kirby Friggin Kirby he’s referencing the room movie
@@rgkong8783 I know, and that was me appreciating the referencing.
It's nice for a change to see a review that isn't all nerd rage and hating on the movie. I agree, the movie gets a lot of undeserved trolling and vitriol. I liked the unexpected and the action sequences. I also agree that the casino planet was a head-scratcher. It wasn't a perfect movie but it was good.
there’s quite a bit of bad (especially the casino). and the bad is pretty bad. BUT, this movie has a lot of good, and when it’s good it is amazing imo
FINALLY, someone positive
@@isaacmccall7162 "and when it is good, it is amazing" couldn't have said it better... or written it better.
I just wish Admiral Akbar had been the one to kamikaze into the star destroyer instead of it just being stated that he has been killed.
lol RIP Akbar
I imagine that would have sparked an internet/news controversy considering his name
Hmm yeah didn't think about the political aspect of that idea haha. Even still though, I just wish there had been a more fitting way for his character to go out other than: "Oh by the way everyone on the bridge execpt for the princess is dead and that includes Akbar." ya know?
He's a joke character stop caring so fucking much about ackbar
the bad guys would be like "what are they doing?" and Akbar would say "it's a trap!" and suicide
Did you see that Rey took the books, and Yoda KNEW IT. Saying there was nothing in the tree she did not already have with her.
You see them at the end when Finn grabs a blanket from a drawer in the Falcon
EileenGallia I thought I saw them.
Yes I saw them... it made me lol in the theater.
EileenGallia yeeeeeaah i thought it was the books! I was kinda confused because it didn’t consider she could’ve taken them
"There's nothing in those books that she does not already possess" I totally wrote it off and then when I saw them in the drawer I remembered he said that. Yoda you sly devil.
EileenGallia does that undermine all the weight of burning the tree in the first place?

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL OFF ADMIRAL ACKBAR I WAS SO HEARTBROKEN
I know, right? It would've been better if he was the one on the suicide ship, instead of Holdo
IsaiahChavezCA the actor died
I know! And it just gets a brief mention.
Crash Wrong. Both the actor in the costume & the voice actor are very much alive & well.
TheSkipRow Gaming Yea. I have to say, Haldo wasn’t necessarily a bad character, but I think it would’ve been much more powerful had they placed Ackbar in charge while Leia was still healing & made him the one to sacrifice himself.
Kylo ruined it with the world domination. That's a beginner's fault. Never talk about your world domination plans on a first real date with a chick.
Martin Zyka It worked for Anakin
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it didn't.
He talked about sand
It's just those dark side guys. They need to change their plan sometimes if they ever wanna get laid.
"Let's rule the galaxy together" is just not a good pick up line.
Also, why the dark side always want to rule the galaxy? What's so great about it anyway. Kylo doesn't seem to have this child-like joy from dominating others like The Emperor, I think he would be 100 times happier on a lonely island with Rey.
Just saying.
remember to always to start off the first session by asking her if she's an angel.
So sand in the ass crack is a bigger turn-on than ambition? Ladies, could you please confirm? If so, that explains the Tatooine like barren wasteland that is my love-life. (Note to self: delete line about wanting to establish my own Reich from Tinder profile)
When I saw Luke Skywalker tossing the lightsaber, I was like “What the hell Luke”?! Couldn’t he just give the Lights back to Rey or simply put the Lightsaber down?
The first of many "wtf Ryan!" moments.
But giving it back would have shown that Luke has reverence for it
He doesn't. He's completely moved on from that, he genuinely thinks after 50+ years of the Jedi screwing up and making mistakes, that the order needs to end
It's like when someone is being really really raw and genuine about something really childish and annoying and you can't help but but want to laugh and punch their dumb faces lmao
That's the vibe that I got from Luke. The Jedi need to end. He's moved on, and here comes this random chick like "pleeeease make me a jedi" and he's honestly just sick of it
That kinda make sense? Alg if not, love from one Star Wars fan to another ❤️
Omega Maximus Well that lightsaber has the blood of children on it so I wouldn’t exactly be excited to have it back either.
@@thomaswoodfield602 exactly
@@thomaswoodfield602 And then "A Jedi never throws away his weapon"
How’d you get the Adam driver voice actor impression?
I think they killed off Admiral Akbar because his voice actor passed away.
Hunter Dvorak Sadly that’s probably true.
I wouldn't be surprised if, with Carrie Fisher's passing as well with how the TLJ ended, they actually do another time skip for Episode IX, though not 30 years; maybe something like 10.
It would give a reason for why Leia wouldn't be there (they could say that Leia simply died of age or illness, but not before becoming another legend or something), how the Resistance could rebuild their numbers and military forces with new allies and their renewed vigor to keep fighting, and allow Rey and Ben to get more of a footing in their new positions as the last Jedi (who might try to succeed where Luke failed) and new Supreme Leader respectively.
Hunter Dvorak RIP Eric Bauersfeld.
Life is a never ending trap of which you have escaped.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he die where the bridge was bombed causing all officers and Leia sucked into the vacuum of space? Before Admiral Holdo was to assume leadership the lady announce that all officers except Leia,who is in critical condition but stable, have died.
He deserved a worthy death, maybe he should have sacrificed himself with Holdo
Not only was what rose did cheesy, it undermined what Finn was doing---fighting back by saving what he loved, his friends.
Kinda felt like the writers were about to finish the story and then were like "Wait fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck there's no romance arc and nobody kissed! Hollywood isn't going to accept this"
From what I saw, Finn's mindset at that moment was not about saving his friends. It was all about not letting the First Order win, the very thing he was determined to get away from.
I was completely fine with Finn dying in that scene. His motivation made sense and he had made up his mind. He was determined to stop the First Order at the cost of his life, and it felt like a proper way to end his character arc. But no, they had to fuck it up and have Rose do some stupid shit.
Rico I completely agree. Rose's actions pissed me off to no end seeing as she could've totally fucked over the resistance by refusing to let someone sacrifice themselves.
SW fans: "You're tearing us APART, Rian!"
Best comment.
betterine, more like,
Rian, Ahmed, Ridley, Lloyd, Kelly: U r tearing us apart, SW fans.
This is the one persistent complaint I've never understood. Who the hell cares if all Star Wars fans are on the same page-considering this has never been the case anyway? People were fiercely divided over the prequels. Before that, there were a lot of people who disliked Return of the Jedi. The only difference now is the prevalence of social media. I don't need permission from a crowd of total strangers to like or dislike a film...why does anyone give a damn if the fandom aren't all in lockstep?
Corn Pone Flicks, don’t ask me. I really don’t know what’s in the mind of people these days. The Last Jedi is not even that atrocious. I hate it a lot but it’s not the worst thing ever and there are things I liked about it.
This is not "in some ways" more original than TFA. It's hands downs more original. It's also NOT what a saga movie should be. It's "Star Wars: What If?!"
i think the BEST emotional pace in this film people forget to mention is
how Emotional Chewie is after Han died and how luke just keeps Rey outside the door knocking "Go away leave me alone!" and Chewie KNOCKS the fucking door down
"LOOK MAN WE NEED YOU!"
"Chewie!?"
"Hans DEAD! HELP US!"
"O SHIT!"
maybe people forget because it was... forgettable? like the entire movie?
Bolek Lolek oh please luke scene eith kylo alone was badass
-Rose: My sister is dead because she faught for the rebellion cause and you, Finn we're our hero, but now you are trying to escape and I hate you.
-Finn: Now I am going to save the rebellion by sacrificing myself.
-Rose: Nooooo! I won't let you save what me and my dead sister have been fighting for! Instead I will risk both of our lives and everyone else's because I love you now!
Dangerz Own yuuuuuuuuuup
First I don't think she ever hated him. She was just disappointed at what he was doing but she didn't understand he wasn't a coward, he was trying to save Rey. And the "love" she had for him is misunderstood - it's an admiration type of love, not boyfriend/girlfriend love. A lot of people are shitting WAYYY too hard on this movie.
Love is the most egoist sentiment there can be sometimes. You care about that person alone, an you say "fuck you" to the rest of people.
The last of his kind I see what you're saying. But why put your (Rose), life at risk to stop somebody from saving your whole team? Because you "love" Finn, even though it is misplaced? It makes me hate you, (Rose) as a character. This movie was all over the place for me. When ANYBODY died in this movie, I didn't give a shit. Because the movie made everyone too easy to hate. Like Chewbacca. He didn't say anything and I was annoyed by him.... This movie doesn't deserve a pass, just because it is StarWars. 5.5/10
The pacing could have been better for sure. The Rose/Finn thing was just kind of "mehh" at best but I didn't hate it. I'm glad Finn didn't die. Rose sacrificed herself (in my opinion) because she felt that Finn was way more important to the Resistance than she was. (But the more I think about it, is he?) Guess it all remains to be seen.
Man... I wonder if opinions have changed since this. That would be interesting to hear.
Thomas Subburathinam yeah. I’d be shocked if it hadn’t.
Thomas Subburathinam mine certainly changed, and despite its flaws I enjoy Last Jedi a lot more now than when it had premiered.
I’m excited to watch Rise of Skywalker and could care less about the a negative things people are saying about it, I want to watch the movie for myself and form my own opinion, rather than have someone else tell me what to think.
@@Fi_Sci_ Same. I had a lot of trouble liking it when it premiered. But looking back, and after a few rewatches, the strengths far outweigh the movie's flaws for me
TheRikkarikna Yeah and when you take into account why everyone hated it, it’s kind of Ridiculous.
Some hated The force awakens cause it played it to safe and Had a similar story A New Hope, and fans hated last Jedi because it took too many risks.
You just can’t win with most Star Wars fans cause some of them are the same Fans who ruined the life of Jake Lloyd, and caused Ahmed Best(Jar jar) to nearly commit suicide. Those kinds of Star Wars fans can be scary man.
Ideally with the Prequels it was a Visual Story not Properly Executed to some extent and accompanying it with some otherwise Bad Acting direction, not the actors fault necessarily, it’s primarily the Fact George Lucas’s wasn’t much of a scriptwriter.
Then you get to the Sequels which succeed with most of what the prequels were trying to do only it’s drawback is that it’s held back by unoriginal planet locations, and The Last Jedi’s primary goal was to course correct that and leave the Conclusion on a Blank slate that could go anywhere with the final movie.
From what thumbnails have popped up most of the reception of Rise of Skywalker has been of hate, then again most of em are the same people who held onto The Last Jedi rather than moving on(And it Shows).
But despite that I am looking forward to how The Rise Of Skywalker Concludes the Story and if it’s bad the it’s bad, and if it’s good then it will be a great edition to my Star Wars collection. Got every Star Wars movie apart from the Holiday Special-for obvious reasons 😂
In his rise of Skywalker review, he mentions that as long as he fast forwards the canto bright scenes, he still enjoys the film
The whole idea of endlessly chasing a ship was just rediculous. They had a FLEET of ships. So just jump 3 cruisers ahead a little bit. End of the rebellion right there. Or 200 fighters etc etc. When the script is SO STUPID it is just one big annoyance.
When Rose rams Fin out of the way, she should have taken his place in sacrificing herself and destroying the cannon. It would have better explained the small hole from the massive cannon, being interrupted mid fire, and it would have been a better conclusion to her and her sister's story.
I Control My Fate I think you misread my comment.
All i can say is Rose, while is a great addition to the saga, actually is a expendable character. I agree with your idea, I'll give the movie a much better ending and a perfect end to Rose's storyline
Headline Kid24 definitely
She ended killing herself to accomplish the opposite of the goal. I didn’t get it.
I think it serves a better purpose to show the fans that Fin and Rey's mutual feeling for each other is a strong and powerful friendship and not a romance. that we are reading way too far into Fin and Rey's relationship. In episode 8, for an entire movie, we are given zero evidence to support a love interest in either Rey's character for Fin or in Fin's Character for Rey. This is analagous to Harry Potter's relationship with Hermoine in the Harry potter novels.
Anyone else spot Gareth Edwards in the trench next to the guy that tastes the salt ?

Yep recognised him first time.
Oh wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Stuckmann’s spoiler review for TLJ. Hilarious beginning! XD
TLJ was written & directed by cocaine..
..The bridge gets blown up for Leia, but it's undamaged for Poe 's mutiny & Holdo's hyper-derp....
Is it just me who really wanted Kylo and Ray to join sides. And have a ying and yang dynamic, a balance between the dark side and the light. And for the Jedi and Sith to end ?
That would have been amazing, but it's Disney, there has to be bad guys and good guys....
Yes, but it is yin*
It is pronounced yeen, or in English, yen.
But yeah, you're right.
Yeah, I'd have loved it, if they had a dynamic like Professor X and Magneto. Trying to achieve the same thing in different ways, but no..... it has to be good vs bad. No mixed forms.
Yes! i wanted it so bad. Kylo's ideas about leaving the past behind, that trying to follow the darkside or the lightside only isn't working that they should be striving for balance, is good but his methods are not of course. But i secretly wished she would have taken his hand in that thrown room.
It would have been interesting, also did anyone at all feel sexual tension between kylo and Rey because I didn't, but my friends are convinced that they felt it. Can anyone confirm this and explain where and why?
21:00 One of the themes of the movie is what it really means to be a hero:
1) FINN wants to sacrifice himself, but ROSE knows it's not necessary... and she was right. The heroes are able to escape at the end.
2) POE thinks that HOLDO is too focused on rules and that it's better to think with the heart... but HOLDO ends up being the real hero of the two.
3) LUKE tells REY that jedis have been glorified. That in reality they're flawed people. That actually makes sense when you watch the prequels. They don't always make good decisions. One might argue that they indirectly caused ANAKIN's fall.
Considering Disney's merchandising campaign for Marvel Heroes, this seems like a theme they're comfortable w/ & happy to expand upon.
Keyser Soeze I hate Rose, her reasons for saving Finn were BS
Mal 123 if rose was going to save finn she should have destroyed the battering ram instead of finn
The pikachu9000 Yeah, it'd make sense since her sister died protecting the rebellion, something she didn't think about when she selfishly saved Finn
Keyser Soeze it's not clear that Finn would have succeeded in destroying that thing. If he was just going to die for no purpose then she was right.
I feel like two of the things you mentioned (the animal cruelty sequence and the kid force-pulling the broom) are continuations of themes introduced in the Rebels TV series (and to some extent the prequel and original eras as well).
Bear with me for a minute: In regards to the Force, consider where the Light and Dark sides might be aligned on a third-party fantasy magical spectrum: The Magic: The Gathering Colour wheel, which includes, in order, White (Order & Justice), Blue (Logic & Technology), Black (Death & Ambition), Red (Chaos & Passion), and Green (Nature & Preservation).
The Sith are Centered in Black, with Red and Blue influences; the Jedi are centered in White, with Blue and Green influences. The Green Jedi influence is explored in the connections the characters have (throughout all 9 films honestly) with the various animals. Luke & the Tauntaun, Obi-wan and his giant lizard thing, Ezra and the Space Whales from Rebels - many important Jedi have some kind of inherent or learned connection with the natural world and animals/plants (the Green influence).
The animal cruelty section, while a little heavy handed and admittedly out of place, fits into this theme of the animals being important and connected to the force, and their helping of Finn and Rose is due not only to having received their assistance in escaping, but Finn's force sensitivity as hinted at throughout his arcs in the films. I agree this subplot is easily the worst part of the film but I can see what themes they were trying to reinforce (albeit largely unsuccessfully).
The kid force-pulling the broom is clearly a continuation of the idea that force sensitivity can come from anywhere. Ezra in Rebels. The Republic era Jedi child recruitment program. Rey and her "nobody" parents (though this is stupidly retconned in Episode 9). This ties into the larger theme of "balance in the force" essentially being a millenia/galaxy-spanning mystic influence that drives times of affluence and oppression equally, but at the end of the day is self-correcting (too much Jedi hubris/complacency? Order 66. Too much Dark Side? Rey kills Palpatine.) Similar to how Yin and Yang are seen in ancient Chinese philosophy.
Which leads into why so many people were disappointed with the direction Luke Skywalker took in this film. They wanted to see Original Trilogy Badass Space Wizard Luke come in and kick the fucking door down on the First Order and fuck shit up. I totally get it. If that's what you were expecting it would be a huge disappointment. But I actually really liked Luke's direction in this movie and thought it was a mature continuation of the themes described above. He realized it was ignorant and self aggrandizing of the Jedi to assume that the universe could not survive without them. He realized that the Force is so much bigger than that; that it goes beyond the tiny minds and egos of Jedi and Sith alike. This is the lesson that Luke tries to teach Rey on the island: "That the Force does not belong to the Jedi. To say that if the Jedi die, the light dies, is vanity."
You don't have to be a Jedi to be a "good" Force user (Ahsoka Tano after she leaves the Jedi order) or a Sith to be an "evil" Force user (Nightsisters of Dathomir) and honestly the galaxy might be better off without the Jedi and Sith (look at all the conflict that has arisen because of them specifically). Good and bad people come from everywhere and, more importantly, there are shades of grey. The forces of good and evil will continue to ebb and flow, rise and fall, and clash/balance out over the eons with or without the Jedi/Sith. To ascribe more importance to them than their actually is is vanity in the grand cosmic scale of things (Yin and Yang).
years later and this movie is still argued about
Just like Batman V Superman..... Dawn of Justice.... Some films just don't fit with the time they come in... Not necessary that they are good.. Only time will tell whether Last Jedi settles or not
when people still try to blindly defend this movie ignoring everything wrong with it, yea expect people still talking about it.
@@geetadhumane5793 Last Jedi has a chance to be seen in more positive way somewhere down the line but no chance for BVS. It was the directors cut that saved that movie. The original was awful.
Adam Driver as Kylo Ren was the highlight of this movie for me, his performance really resonated with me.
He is a good actor and his performance was good but his character was just a waste of time.
I didn't like his character in TFA, but I really liked Kylo in TLJ.
harriet cumberbatch
He was about the only good thing in the movie. Both he and John Boyegas were horribly underused.
i don't understand how his character was a waste of time? We literally got to know his story, that he's beyond just some whiny baby.
Harriet cumberbatch so your a unstable monster
I liked when phasma says
“You were always scum” to Finn but he just says
“Rebel scum”
I liked the part when it ended.
It's too bad they killed Phasma off when she finally did some cool shit.

Thank you! Glad I'm not alone here.
I just watched this movie again last night. It's a lot better than I remember. The internet made it very easy to hate this movie. I think what they do with Kylo and Palpatine in Episode IX will make up for his double-down on the darkside. If he rejects the emperor puppetry unlike Anakin, that'll be a great character arc.
I remember walking out of the cinema before any audience reactions and was feeling 100% sure everybody is gonna love it, cause I had time of my live. Then I looked at rottentomatoes, then reddit, then youtube to hear how much of an abomination is this movie. Lot of people had expectations that it's bad even before they saw it.
Stfu, you both don’t know how to see movies. Rian Johnson created a mess. Even Mark Hamil( OG Luke Actor ) agrees that this movie sucks. Rian Johnson( Director of Last Jedi ) roasts the fans in the internet. He has no respect towards anyone. Rose is the worst character ever. Characters were bland
@@martinpalmers9061 Well, that's like your opinion man.
Saki Nikaido and he is only speaking half of the truth. In the interviews, mark hamill said at first he didn’t like it UNTIL rian explain it to him, then he agreed with his direction.
Martin Palmers everyone uses marks statements on the last Jedi but conveniently forgets that he admitted that he shouldn’t have made his creative differences public, and ended up liking how Luke’s story went once the movie was finished
Am I the only one who's upset that admiral akbar is dead?!? I almost cried when the lady said the leaders died and they explicitly said he was dead😢 RIP Akbar he was a great squid alien man and leader may the force be with him
RIP Admiral Ackbar. The Resistance now has no defense against traps.
Well they would still run into the traps but now they have no one to point out the fucking obvious.
He should have sacrificed himself instead of purple hair.
Al Fred that would’ve been sooo damn awesome
The actor that plays him died.
Adam Driver was absolutely fantastic. I dont go to a see a Star Wars movie for great acting, but Drivers performance was incredibly intense and believable. The bad guy as a damaged, narcissistic te, needy teenager. Also loved the design of this film, the use of the colour red, the golden stormtrooper suit, the dingy interirors vs battle scenes in the daylight. The CGI creatures were all interesting to look at. The Last Jedi is B+ for me.
"golden stormtrooper suit"?
What golden Stormtrooper outfit?
He means Phasma
joseph4861 better than before? Last time he was a fucking crying puusy
WANAKO that is how he was written. His portrayal was good.
I loved the Last Jedi but that finn and Rose story line was bad and not needed
I agree, it’s a great movie but they should have just stayed, then the plot would be great rather then ok
@@Anon24052 ummm, no. There are still many glaring plot holes in this movie.

Technically no. We’re just seeing two different points in Luke’s career that will inevitably tie into one another
Yes I am back
@Robert Smith Yes. Though until that physically happens, I prefer to believe that Ben liked Grogu so much he told him to go off-world before murdering everyone.

"It's like poetry, so that they rhyme"
Same I saw it as well
tbh he looks like a halo reach lego lmao
yes and i wasn't sure if i were imagining it.
IsaiahChavezCA yep. I thought the same thing
Pretty sure the little kid at the end isn't a setup for the future, but more of a symbol of how There will always be people willing to fight the good fight, and also could be a nod to Rey supposedly coming from nothing
The kid at the end....with the broom..it's a handoff to Disney. The Sorceror's apprentice.
Chris then they could have completely removed that whole dumb casino sequence from the film, and just had a random kid use the force at the end.
13:10 something i noticed rewatching this was a bit of subtle foreshadowing they pull off earlier to this. When Kylo and Rey do the force FaceTime thing for the first time and they don’t know what’s going on Kylo says something to Rey along the lines like “how is this happening you’re not doing this, if you were you’d be dead”. Thought that was a pretty nice plant there in the dialogue, which the dialogue in this movie is pretty underrated in my opinion, especially for a Star Wars movie
The dialogues are good when they are not trying to be humourous. The worst part of TLJ is the force humour. Except for the Luke Rey scene, all the humor in this movie lands flat and seems deliberate. I guess it is a bi product of Disney
Lol FaceTime
Nice touch. Also when Luke makes fun of himself going out to face the entire First Order with a lightsaber it also comes true
The fact that people watch movie reviews to hear other people’s opinions and then dislike the video when they don’t have the same opinion is beyond me
Tdog Reviews you just have to learn to live with other people’s opinions even if you dislike them.
I'm sure Chris is 100% fine with the dislikes, it shows how divided the SW fan base is right now and it's not really an attack on him, just his opinions on this one film.
That’s what it’s there for
Tdog Reviews no it’s just because Chris doesn’t make sense and always changes what he says every single time. He said The Last Jedi is better than Revenge of the Sith
RGkong Both have their pro’s and con’s.
I'm gonna be honest when leia started superman flying back to the ship after being blown up and flung into space I started laughing my ass off
I'll admit that that scene was shot in a way that made it more hilarious than emotional, and I loved this movie overall.
She was in space for like 40 seconds. An absolutely normal person can stay conscious for 30 seconds. They can stay alive for about 5 minutes.
Same here lmfao
Same here.
There's already memes about 'Leia poppins' and the movie only just came out. I preferred the infamous 'jedi rocks' scene more than that shit.. Yikes.
This should not be the way how to make these movies. Abrams & johnson should have written the trilogie together, maybe with the help of lucas & kasdan. It's not a good idea to have a different writer for each movie of such an important trilogie.
AlvarHanso84 Same thing could be said for the MCU but most of their movies have been very good so I don't see why they should not do the same for Star Wars.
somerandomname Marvel has like 10 different movies in production, its impossible to get all its writers together, even then there is no reason to connect the Ant-man branch to Black Panther to gotg, the franchise can afford inconsistency, While Starwars which only gets yearly movies but only the odd number of years are connected, should not be getting different writers, if they mean to have a whole trilogy that is interconected they should have all the creative team to collaborate together their plans for the franchise
I agree, but I still like the way things are going with the movies
They rejected Lucas' script, those are the true sequels.
Jesus E Soltero exactly. They completely dismissed plot points they opened up in the force awakens. Either they forgot, or this writer wanted to go a different direction. There’s going to be a different writer for episode 9 too
Mark Hamil told us often enough what he thinks about that movie.

Back in 1980 when empire released lots of critics and fans were disappointed. It wasn't until episode 6 that everything made sense.
Without return of the Jedi empire wouldn't be a masterpiece, think about that.
people are giving up on a story that isn't even finished.
I've been saying this since the release of TLJ - this is the MIDDLE CHAPTER in a THREE PART trilogy... WAIT for the final chapter before saying this ST is utter trash and has ruined Star Wars.

I love how this movie managed to polarize its fanbase. Like it or not, you can't accuse this movie of being a formulaic fan-service cashgrab. It took huge risks.
Very true
That is indeed true. I am bugged after seeing it last night. I want to watch a second time to have a more conclusive opinion
An Atheist's Opinion Rey is fucking OP and she is a nobody which makes me more mad because she's OP af. I think the knights of Ren is just thrown away cause they were not mentioned.
An Atheist's Opinion idk watching Vader cutting and choking people was pretty dope
Dandandan Le that’s the whole theme of the film. Anyone can have the force, they don’t have to be a Skywalker or related to someone we know like obi wan. Anakin was a slave boy on tattooine, as much of a nobody as Rey is.
Lando should have been at the casino
that's who I thought it would be
I was so waiting for Lando to show up at the end and save the resistance. Is there like a Star Wars rule somewhere that there can only be one black character?
I thought he should've been working the fields at the start of Rogue One.
#OHNOYOUDIDNT
AGREED!!!!
If I'm not mistaken the actor is old and in poor health so he wouldn't be able.
Amazing Review! :)
What bugs me the most about this movie is that the villains are in Disney mode in their actions and instead of doing the most logical and efficicient thing, they prefer a more evil-looking option that leave the good guys the chance to win/flee everytime. There is no sense of threat because of that. There is even a very good video ''A military analysis of the Last Jedi'' that covers a lot.
In the first scene, the Resistance is fleeing with a few ships, and the First Order comes in with a good number of ships, including a dreadnought (a fleet killer, as Poe puts it), and always great numbers of tie-fighters. The First Order could have immediately engaged the Resistance with their destroyers and sent thousands of tie-fighters, while letting the dreadnought destroy the planet base or capital ships. Nah nah nah, too logical. Instead let's sit everyone back and make the dreadnought, which is highly vulnerable to bombers and fighters and can only shoot every few minutes, do all the job.
Not destroying Poe, when anyway Hux said there would be no negociations and the Resistance would be destroyed, but does NOTHING and just lets everyone escape. This way Hux becomes a punching-bag subordinate.
On the other side, the Resistance sent its entirely inefficient and outdated bombers against the dreadnought and destroyed it. A few useless bombers were destroyed in exchange of destroying a fleet-killing humongus ship carrying thousands of enemies. Good? Nah nah nah. According to Leiah, Poe should have retreated and left enemy ships intact.
In the main scene, the Resistance fleeing the First order and having only a few hours of fuel left, everything is also wrong. Resistance ships have their rear shields and cannot be destroyed by Snoke's ship's guns. Should the First Order send a few destroyes in their vulnerable front in a short lightspeed jump, or even send their fleet of tie-fighters (which I am sure they had lots in Snoke's ship). Nah nah nah. Instead let's wait and give the Resistance a while to find a way to escape once again. The First Order sent a handful of tie-fighters, which dealt a lot of damage to Resistance ships and decapitated their leadership. Send more to finish them? Nah nah nah, too efficient. In the end by wasting time like that their own fleet got crippled with hundreds of thousands dead and the hands of a single ship.
Meanwhile the Resistance got led by one of the most hateable character in the movie (apart from Rose) in the form of a purple-haired, I'm-a-strong-woman-and-you-are-wrong, vice-admiral Holdo, who dresses for a soirée instead of a war for survival with military necessities. She immediately insults Poe, who is a GODDAMN HERO OF THE RESISTANCE WHO BLEW UP STARKILLER BASE AND SAVED THE WORLD, by saying that HE is incompetent and should not know of her plan. She does not tell anyone of her plan, or that she has one, so everyone around think they are going to die, and start a mutiny.
And of course when on the salt-desert planet the Resistance send outdated vehicles to destroy the base-destroying cannon that was being readied, Poe ''learns'' that he was too reckless in the past and withdraws them after they sustain casualties (which made the attack useless), and when Finn tries to SAVE EVERYONE by sacrificing himself on the cannon, of course he gets rammed by Rose (which should have killed both of them). Note that the First Order walkers had them both right in front of them and just let them walk off to the base.
There is no sense of threat because of that. In the original trilogy we all laugh of Imperials and especially stormtroopers, but hell they were better. In New Hope, the officers talking about strenghts and weaknesses of the Death Star made sense. In Empire Strikes Back, the fleet is being commanded by Darth Vador and the very able admiral Piett (after he ''replaced'' the incompetent Ozzel). They apply overwhelming force with walkers on Hoth, chase down the Falcon, find it using every asset available (bounty hunters), ambush the heroes in the Cloud City, disable the Falcon's hyperdrive, and it is only by extreme skill and luck that the heroes were able to escape, because the bad guys were efficient. But here litterally nothing makes sense, it is a kafkaesque world in which logic is reprimanded.
Great point
At the scene where the Rebel ship hyperspeeds through Snokes ship, it was quiet and all of the sudden some guy in the theater said “That’s so fucking cool” and everyone just died laughing
Someone in my theater said ‘allahu akhbar’ lmao
yeah, it looked cool, but it was, just like so many other things in this movie, complete and utter horseshite. It shits on the Star Wars lore.
I said "So THAT'S why you always need to properly calculate your hyperspeed jumps."
That was so fucking cool. Everyone was quiet at that moment too. Most visually stunning moment in the movie.
Teral Pop How is that funny? Using the word "cool" is very uncool, especially in a tense cinema.
I loved Force Skype
living the baldo life i dont know if you are saying it ironically but i thought it was dope.
BAHAHAHA Now when the film comes out on Bluray I need an edit where the dialing skype sound happens when theyre being connected

FORCED!!....SKYPE
living the baldo life I’m so glad Kylo made an online friend
Man just reading all these comments from like two years ago .. it’s unbelievable
It’s bizarre to say the least. Reactions went from loving Force Awakens and thinking Rogue One is meh to saying all three sequels are beyond redemption and Rogue One is the only good entry. Fans are bipolar sometimes
I havent seen this movie since opening night and i remember not liking it. Having not seen it for quite a while im curious to see what my opinion would be on a second viewing. Always give movies second chances.
I honestly think MOST people who disliked and hated this, have NOT given it a second chance.
I was very underwhelmed and disappointed when I watched this the first time. It’s difficult having so many expectations and delving into theories of all the questions TFA left us with.
This movie is far from perfect and the sequel trilogy is a mess, but I’ve really grown to appreciate so much of it. I’d recommend rewatching this on its own.
Let's be honest where the fuck is Luke's Green Lightsaber
Connor Savage With Luke's son.
the only thing i can think of is he lost it when kylo blew everything up
im assuming that because he separated himself from the force he wouldnt want anything to do with it, as seen when he tosses anakin's over his shoulde. Who knows, maybe rey will go back to the temple and find it in the rubble.
still another movie. This most invalid arguement against the movie is it didnt answer questions and thats because its the middle movie. Its not suppose to answer them.
Probably still on the X wing
The fight with Kylo Ren and Rey against the guards was so amazingly done!
Italian Turtle i agree, i only sometimes miss the fastness of swordfighting from the prequels, where anakin would move so fast against droids and stuff. Besides that, amazing movie
Also the 3D Ambers in the air enhacned that scene.
Italian Turtle they should’ve teamed up and done something different in this franchise for a change but of course you gotta have the obvious good and evil. I wanted more of that scene.
Berta Kriel the only fast fightscene in the PT is Anakin vs Obi Wan.
Have you seen mace window vs palpatine? Its incredibly slow and horribly shit
Andrew Joseph Fabo I honestly think them teaming up would be too predictable, and they are doing something more than just good and evil. Multiple times in the film, characters reference how the war between good and evil is never-ending and that in the end, no one side is truly one or the other. So, When Kylo tells Rey that he wants to burn it all down and restart, he's not entirely wrong. The empire will always come back in some unless there is no rebellion in some way. The question is not who is good or who is evil, but rather how do we stop this war? There are no easy answers In the film, and that's why I can't wait for episode IX. For the first time in a long time, I don't know what happens next in Star Wars
That skit at the beginning cured my depression
Damn I couldn’t resist the urge to subscribe!!!
So many ppl are like I cannot believe Luke tryed to kill Kylo. If you actually watch the movie that’s not at all what happens. Luke himself admits that he had a moment of darkness and ignited his saber and almost immediately regretted it and never did anything. Also it was pretty well established that Kylo was already turned to the dark side by Snoke by this point went batshit crazy and massacred almost the entire jedi academy Anakin-style and thought he even killed Luke or left him for dead. What do ppl not understand about how that would change Luke. How could anyone still be the same person after something like that. I mean com-on, Obi-wan literally dismembered Anakin and left him for dead burning to death in a lake of lava for god sakes because he turned to the dark-side. I don’t think what Luke did was unlike him at all when you really think about it.

He did want to kill Kylo but the thought quickly left his mind.
Not one word of what you said is true Beth B. We are given two perspectives of the same event and you have decided that only one perspective is correct when in fact, both are.
This is my argument to "Luke killing young Kylo is butchering the character":
FIrst off, if you met 14 years old Hitler and knew what atrocities he would execute in the future, you bet your ass you'd at least be tempted to kill the boy.
Secondly, wtf why do they think Luke is some kind of perfect all round saint? In the originals there were at least two or three times he fell to the dark side. He struck down an "unarmed(of course Palpatine was armed with his force lightning but Luke didn't know that)" old man with intent to kill just because he was taunted to do so. He struck his own father out of pure rage, almost killing him in the process. It was only the Palaptine's premature taunting "DO IT" that snapped Luke out of it and saved him from falling down to the dark side. Luke is not Jesus Christ; he is highly emotional character and almost fails A LOT.
Third, it's called a fucking character arc. In the originals his arc was a journey from young whiny boy to a jedi. In the sequal series, it's his transformation from a failed teacher to a true jedi master. It's what makes him human, and not emotionless godlike character.
Varys// I also wish they flashed out more of Kylo's initial fall, and I'm assuming they are planning to make some spin off series like tv series or books on that background story (mmm money money money). But to play the devil's advocate here, it was demonstrated time and again that a force user can detect another force user from far far away, so I don't have hard time accepting Snoke could find young Kylo easily. And Kylo felt he was abandoned by his parents when he was sent to Luke's jedi training ground, and it's not entirely uncommon for kids of that young age who were sent away from home to places like boarding school or whatever to have that rage-like feeling towards the parents and the people around them.
But yeah, we could've used more background information on.....you know, Snoke. It was classic fan theory bait.
A third of the movie is spent with Finn and Rose going on a wild goose chase rather than fleshing out important characters.
Can we talk about the Light speed crash near the end? One of the best effects shots I've seen in a while.
Dave too bad the casino thing derailed the film
Should have been Akbar
I really enjoyed that. I always wondered what that would look like.
Kirby already did it in the Subspace Emissary.
And he did it without getting any of his buddies killed. :\
Dave why hasn’t anyone ever crashed lightspeed into anything before?
Why was Yoda back to being crazy Yoda before he reveals himself to be the Jedi master? Makes no sense.
Love the shirt!
