The force has always been a plot device lets be honest. in one movie it's just a simple telekinetic power in another it could let old men move like Olympic athletes

if something is only done for merchandising sake then it comes off as forced.

Baby Yoda is an actual plot driven character.

Don’t disrespect Baby Yoda again

They’re just new movies and he’s judging what he sees, not everyone goes in it with an agenda

Nah, the recreation of his mask comes after his meeting with palpatine where kylo believes he's about to be this Sith Lord again, so he wants to be badass and put on the mask, that's how I see it

I hope one day I can learn to be so badass I get to hiss like Dark Rey does 😡😡😡

revert to my second post, i love baby yoda. if you’re so anti merchandising from star wars, it’s just a dumb nitpick. the entire franchise is pushed down our throats. do you think bb8 or those stupid f***ing fluffy creatures from the last movie helped advance the plot? no shot. i agree tho this entire series is one big merchandising opportunity that disney will milk until they can’t no longer

i just don’t buy it personally. His intention was to remove the emperor and keep his supreme leader role.

even with believing that he could be a Sith Lord, him reconstructing his helmet doesn’t really symbolize that.

Not that i think it really takes away anything from the movie

Idk how i feel about kylos mask coming back. Idk if it was brought back because of Ben letting the past die and not learning from his past mistakes from TLJ or if JJ just wanted it in because it looked cool.

Busted out a big fat at that scene

At that point, you can say the same about Disney giving Rey a yellow lightsaber cause one didn't exist beforehand. It's all marketing I just thought the mask was badass and the vocal effect it gave was a nice touch to his character

I mean, sure.

I’m not saying that these nitpicks make the film some disaster or anything, it just doesn’t help either lol

and bb8 drives the plot of TFA and helps the protagonists for the next two movies.

The furry creatures are merchandising background gags

Sure, i just think it took away something from the character for me personally.

The OGs also hated jar jar and now after two decades s*** is changing. Originally the second movie was called "Jar Jar Adventures" but the hate was so big they changed the whole script (reason why count douku doesn't have any bio/history and story is blend) also the voice actor almost committed suicide because of such much hate.

The Complaints like “how is Rey so strong” is such a dumb complaint in a series about Magic Space Powers, where all of the main characters are surviving stuff they shouldn’t survive, and completing task they shouldn’t be able to do if you were really trying to nitpick hard enough.

To which it can somewhat be explained that
1. Jedi Powers are pretty known in the universe
2. The Force Awakens shows that Rey was already extremely skilled with a staff, so it’s not far fetched that she could Pick up on other melee weapens pretty quickly.
3. As stupid and lazy as her being Palpatines granddaughter is, it gives an explanation to Rey haters on how she’s a prodigy and “can do anything”
4. Lastly, she was trained by Luke and Leia, but ppl can’t accept that because “she didn’t train long enough with them”, as if they know how long it takes to master the fictional super powers.

I think the Luke and Leia hooking up in the OT is a way more laughable scene

Snokes guards rlly put up more of a fight than the Knights. Sad!

??????? delete this f***ing post

Rey really should have just stayed a nobody.

kylo ren’s mask is dope as f*** and i love the voice effet

My homie and I showed up to the premiere last night dressed up as a Jedi and Sith Lord. And man did we leave that theater disappointed

If this was a standalone movie that didn’t have Star Wars attached to it, and just a fun action-adventure sci-fi movie would be pretty solid....But it’s not. This is the THIRD and final installment to this trilogy, like there was two previous movies leading up to this bs of a movie we just watched

Like I really can’t believe they choose these two directors with completely different style/vision to make a trilogy together smh.

my theory was that she was a force child and the true chosen one from the prophecy since anakin didn’t actually bring balance to the force as the chosen one was supposed to

Biggest let down for me after Snoke clones because every shot the Knights get they look threatening

But it’s all they get, the Stormtrooper treatment look cool and die
