Explained above. Mea Culpa.

That's a reach considering Rian's final draft of the script was submitted when TFA came out (before Trump even won a single primary).

IS it just me or does Luke have a really big head?
If they can go something like a gray jedi route in episode 9 I think that makes a lot of the complaints I have about how they treated Luke, Yoda, and the Jedi go away. I could buy something like the Jedi are wholly good and the sith wholly evil, but that no person or teaching is truly in balance this way as it goes against the nature of the force and existence. Rather, life and death, light and dark, good and evil should be balanced not just at the cosmic scale but within the individual and that that is the true path forward or something like that. It looked like that might be the way they were going initially in the movie and then they ended it by not going that way.Quote:
I'm also curious from past films regarding the duality of the force, and how if one side dominates or is out of balance, the other side sort of emerges to counter it. I wonder how this might play with another conflicted character like Ren.

None of us can come up with legit complaints regarding ESB.
Can anyone?
You can pick apart any movie if you want.
The Luke dodging slow moving objects force thrown at Luke was cringe worthy.
The convient fall and slide away to a trap door so the falcon can save you is the kind of stuff people complained about with TFA.
How did Like become a Jedi when his training was nothing compared to the prequel Jedi training.
Why was Han such a dick to the guy worried about his safety on Hoth?
Those are all reaching for Cloud City.
As for Luke being a Jedi, remember what Vader told him. "The force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet."

Just got home from my first viewing. I loved this movie. I was going in expecting a transition story that would leave threads frayed and leave open more areas for development later. I think it was Great! Will definitely be seeing it again. The interplay of the pull of the dark and the constance if the light was magnificently handled. Easily in the top four star wars movies for me

For me, it was better than the prequels, but worse than OT, TFA and R1. I could see where a second viewing could make it better and will take the kids to see it after Christmas (my shopping is done; I ain't buying a porg)
It's been said, but I'll say it again, dang it was good to see some Frank Oz era puppet Yoda rapping people on the head with his cane.
It must really suck to go through life like thisLaser Wolf said:Sq1dvm said:

I ranked it as the worst SW movie ever. Not even the throwbacks to the OT could save it. This movie was all about pushing Disney's SJW propaganda at the cost of a good plot. The result was that it destroyed everything we loved about SW.
There's just something about Cliff Clavin trading in his mail carrier uniform for a rebel commander uniform and changing his name to Major Bren Derlin.Brian Earl Spilner said:
