Who said Kylo was a master? Him not being a master was literally the whole point.
the movie literally ends with "is time to finish his training" lol

There old and developed there power in a part of the timeline before the main story?
As someone with no skin in the star wars game this is a a pretty dumb refute to a criticism
Like if in asoiwf material a kid was suddenly good at sword fighting and people criticized that would you be like
(Which specific andal even brought iron swords to westeros)
Agreed they were enjoyable, like whoever said.. if IX was good, it wouldn't matter if there was a strict outline or not. They chose to make it consideretely bad by coming up with bollocks like Rey's parents sold her to protect her.
Who said Kylo was a master? Him not being a master was literally the whole point. And using the force to blow up the Death Star on day one of learning it existed is way more contrived a trained combatant, who knew about the force, Jedi, etc. beating someone with a hole in their gut.
I shouldn't even have to mention the part where he got shot by a gun that sends people flying but for some reason people always forget that.the movie literally ends with "is time to finish his training" lol
A part of the Vader facade. Kylo was not a master. He was trained but as Snoke said, he's no Vader.
...Why does it matter if Rey is a woman and why do her powers need to come from somewhere?
Honestly that just reads like one of those YouTube chuds' complaints.
Even the prequels, full of darkness as they were, treated death and misery with a light touch
Yeah the entire Jedi order being gunned down by their friends, followed by Anakin drawing his sabre on children, followed by choking padme to near death, followed by being reduced to a torso with a head that then got burnt nearly to a crisp, was a super light touch.
Really need more context for the Rey and "woman's audience" bit because it's got big "old woman yelling at clouds" energy. I didn't even care that much for the sequel trilogy.
She's not wrong that Rey is underdeveloped which is what I think she means by, "we don't know... who she is."

You don't seem to understand screenwriting, cinematic language, thematic exploration and visual tone. There's no point in conversing with you any further about this.
Han's death is obscenely nihilist. I bet Lucas hated it deep down. It just spits in the face of what SW meant to him, which ultimately was a fantasy to uplift children watching it.
Even the prequels, full of darkness as they were, treated death and misery with a light touch.

honestly this scene is everything wrong about the prequels, this is supposed to be the point of no return of anakin.
but nowadays it's just a meme.
nobody takes it seriously
To be fair, neither did the people making the prequels.You don't seem to understand screenwriting, cinematic language, thematic exploration and visual tone. There's no point in conversing with you any further about this.

The above is a perfect example of why I try hard to avoid arguing credentials of "film literacy" and instead just debate over the content at hand. Because you very quickly gonna get your ass handed to you unexpectedly.
Nah, I watch a lot of first-time prequel reaction videos. Viewers take it very seriously and are practically bawling every time.
Yoooo
This kid outacts pretty much everyone on this movie.

the way this was filmed it might as well have been a comedy.That's not nihilism. It's tragedy. It's downfall. It's the culmination of a three movie character study (albeit badly written) where we understand the reason and context for Anakin's actions.

i think only Anakin's mom's death managed to outdo this sequence as far as unintentional comedy goes in this whole franchise.
Oh man what a wonderful comeback.Lmao

Han's death was meaningless. A son killing his absent deadbeat father, an ugly retort to Return of the Jedi's more hopeful resolution. In that moment, JJ's camera is saying that faith in family is worthless, that beloved characters will not get heroic deaths, this is not Lucas's fairytale anymore, it's a dark deconstruction.
Then he shits away his convictions in TROS.
Without reading the greater context of the quotes or her complete thoughts on the franchise, I think a more graceful interpretation of this passage is her calling out Disney for introducing these non-white male characters to lead their films (this also extends to Finn ofc) and then shameless retreading ANH in TFA, and amateurishly trying to string a trilogy together with no clear cohesion or vision or plan. I read it more as "you introduced this female character just to get female audiences and then failed to competently give her a decent story arc"
💀Lmao

It's literally the cheapest look he's bad now scene possible
There's no tragedy in the PT because despite ostensibly the entire trilogy supposedly building Anakin's downfall it still ends up a hastily done last act of the last movie rush job where Anakin goes from aggressive hero to killing children and violent abusing his wife in about a blink of an eye.
It looks like this thread was created in response to a years-old quote from before TROS released."at the end of this last one, The Last Jedi"
Is she pretending TROS doesn't exist or is this bad wording?

I've sold screenplays before and have an IMDB page. Does that make me 'better'? Do I win Internet Points?

I can get a lot of people's criticisms of the sequels, but saying they lose Han, Luke, and Leia and therefore the creators don't get "Star Wars" is a... strange one. Of course they're not Star Wars if the definition of Star Wars is exclusively "the adventures of Han, Luke, and Leia only."
