The best thing about TLJ was chuds crying over Laura Dern's hair.
Yeah dude, in an universe where a fucking slug mafia leader executes his enemies by throwing them in a giant Venus flytrap in the middle of a desert planet with two suns, purple hair is unrealistic.
definitely, although the idea of JJ Abrams getting dommed so hard by Rian Johnson that he tried to shove two movies into two hours of runtime is hilarious in hindsight
the beginning of the movie being exclusively in fortnite was just icing on the cake
It was a bit of fun and as someone with abusive parents who changed their last name as part of cutting ties the ending was extremely meaningful to me. I'd recommend it. It's not a great film. But you might be able to get some meaning out if it like I did.
I didn't like TLJ, but it had some really interesting ideas, enough that I wish Rian had been given the whole trilogy.
I just don't think deconstruction of a series' central themes works 8/9ths of the way through that series. There's no time for the reconstruction and synthesis.
Yeah it could have been great, Finn and Rose could have bonded over shared trauma during TLJ rather than some ham-fisted "war is actually bad" plot.
A former child-soldier brainwashed into being a storm trooper, and a civilian mechanic who lost her family to the war could have been an interesting dynamic.

I also don't think it's a good thing in Star Wars. It's a universe where there's a literal "good guys vs bad guys" energy running throughout the entire universe. It would be like suddenly deconstructing the orcs and goblins motivations halfway through LOTR: Return of the King

I mean, I liked the first 2 lol. But RoS was a terrible ending.

I don't know, i've read somewhere ten years ago that it was a plant and i didn't look further.
I think they were going for it a little bit lol, the thing is I don't care and it didn't make it a better or worse movie to me.

JJ Abrams is a terrible movie maker. His "mystery box" approach where nothing is ever thought through means there is never a satisfying conclusion.
he's a true believer of hollywood production praxis...but that only exists because capitalism considers their workers to be interchangeable

It's one of the few times I'd advocate for that weird splitting of one movie into two that happens from time to time nowadays

Listened to a couple of podcast ragging on it and watched it with the sound off on a plane. Don't watch it. It's not good

Finn got fucking shafted. Most interesting character setup ever. TLJ should have been 85 percent Rey talking with luke and 15% Finn having PTSD.
