I feel like I just watched a bad shonen anime. There were parts I enjoyed. But still what the hell
My thoughts! Especially the stuff in the throne room was like the worst part of shonen Anime.

Lando just got em all! The Resistance didn't need Luke for the spark that reached slave kids on backwater planets. No,they just needed Lando to get in the Falcon and rally the troop. WTF man. Did JJ and Terrio actually watch TLJ?lando rolled a nat 20 on his 'recruit the galaxy' charisma check
I love the idea that Palpatine learned from his fight with Mace so he got more power to avoid the lightsaber deflection but her having two is what did him in.

This feels like the kind of thing where fans used to complain that Order 66 sounds so stupid but now it's just acceptedGuys, I really like "The Final Order".
Bullshit like this is what I want from Star Wars.

I thought Kylo giving his life for Rey made sense. It was Leia that I thought was absolutely ridiculous to die over distracting Kylo for one brief moment.Obi Wan was struck down. Yoda died of old age.
People hated when Luke died for no reason. And now Ben's death is even more laughable. Hell, at least Luke's scene was reverent and elegant. Ben just falls over, disappears, and we immediately get a transition to another scene. It's just laughable editing and execution.
The biggest problem with this movie is nothing gets to breath. It's not that the movie is fast paced, it's poorly edited.
TFA was fast paced but it had scene transitions that flowed, and a cohesive narrative. JJ completely wiffed the structure of this movie so bad.
This movie is really, really similar to ROTS. Both movies are cramming a lot of story into one movie, start with something major (Palpatine's been captured, getting right into killing Dooku), leave scenes little room to breathe, and rush Anakin and Ben's turns.The biggest problem with this movie is nothing gets to breath.

Heir to the Empire would be my pickThis feels like the kind of thing where fans used to complain that Order 66 sounds so stupid but now it's just accepted
Like I said before, the movie could have been titled The Final Order really. People already wanted A New Order.
The sad part is even if they continue their adventures into episode 10 reylo is already established. Its just. ugh. But I guess if it means getting more of them I could live with that.Same. Daisy and Adam have ridiculously good chemistry with each other.
If they ever do a KOTOR movie, I would want them to cast Driver and Ridley as Darth Revan and Bastila. It'd be fucking perfect.
I guess I just dont buy either of those explanations. Being stabbed through the chest with a lightsaber seems to be just about as on par with rey somehow dying from forcing too much (side bar, can we stop making this a thing in these movies haha).The intent was clearly that she was dead. I mean, I know in life there's a bit of a sliding scale of death. Heart stopping, loss of brain function, etc.
But in movie world, limp, eyes open and staring into the middle distance is dead.
As for the cause of her death, the movie seemed to be saying that being on the receiving end of that much force lightning energy, even when blocking with a lightsaber takes every ounce of a Jedi's energy.
That would have been great, especially since it could refer to Ben too.
Hard disagree. Revenge of the Sith is a way better movieThis movie is really, really similar to ROTS.

A magic fight though?Adding a 2nd weapon really does add an whole new dynamic to a fight so I can't fault Sheev lol
I mean that also allow for Kylo's face turn.I thought Kylo giving his life for Rey made sense. It was Leia that I thought was absolutely ridiculous to die over distracting Kylo for one brief moment.
Agree about Ben but disagree about Leia.I thought Kylo giving his life for Rey made sense. It was Leia that I thought was absolutely ridiculous to die over distracting Kylo for one brief moment.
I think TROS is the better movie myself, but I don't think you have to like one movie more than the other to see that they both suffer from very similar issues. ROTS could have been a way better movie of scenes breathed more and Anakin's turn was more natural.
Lucas is just a better storyteller and director than JJ.I think TROS is the better movie myself, but I don't think you have to like one movie more than the other to see that they both suffer from very similar issues.

Agree about Ben but disagree about Leia.
she was clearly guiding him up until his death and responsible for Han vision. She did not become one with the force until after he does.
Its never outright stated but apparently cut scenes make it pretty clear she is. Landos daughter was kidnapped by the first order etc.WAIT, that girl was Lando's daughter? Jesus christ JJ slow the fuck down. This is like fanfiction on meth. How did I miss that?
That was the start but I think the fact that she doesn't become one with the force until later is telling that she was at work in some way.Do you think she gave her life and used her powers up to turn him good? I could see that as a worthy enough sacrifice. It just seemed to me like she reached out to him and he froze up momentarily.
I think that was the original intention but they realized how monumentally lame that is and/or cut it for time, so now it's not the case but the bones are still there.Its never outright stated but apparently cut scenes make it pretty clear she is. Landos daughter was kidnapped by the first order etc.
Got back from my viewing. Definitely agree that the writing is all over the place. The pacing was at breakneck speed, but if the major scenes had any room to breathe, the plot would be under even more scrutiny. Not going to list them, everyone's already discussed them ad nauseam.
For the good, finally actually Finn/Poe interaction. I did like Rey Palpatine even if the execution wasn't there. And Palpatine scenes were always hype.
I was genuinely surprised the movie used his line from ROTS considering how badly they wanted to distant themselves from the prequels with this trilogy.
Is kinda funny doing a reacts video?Kylo lying about the "They were no one on purpose!" thing also doesn't make sense.
He seemingly doesn't know about her being a Palpatine until Palpatine tells him.
