Going to take a bit of getting used to the new site for sure.

 

[e30ernest]

Oh shiny new site.... Time to catch up to stuff.

The best thing about TROS is that the Disney Princess trilogy is finally over. When Mary Sue Rey said her name was Skywalker I threw up in my mouth.

Oh right. No Mary Sues under KK's watch LOL. Didn't you know? Death means nothing in the magical world of Disney. Folks can just get *forced* back to life. Nice way to remove any tension from the movie. Good job Disney!

Technically that shirt is not wrong either Leia is a female and a Jedi.

At least at the climax of ESB when she sensed Luke she didn't fly out the Millennium Falcon like Mary Poppins to save him LOL. Also, the force is all around and not exclusively for chicks. Never thought the force is a gender.

Called overcompensation. Had plenty of female Jedi before Disney; prequels, Mara Jade, Jaina Solo, plenty in the books/games. No one whined about that and they were liked. It is when people want to shove it in your face then they get called out on and they wonder why.

It would be amazing if people could see anything without their party affiliation jading their vision.

Yep. Disney should've never fired Gina Carano.

They should not have, but I was talking about the other side.

Being non-American, I never saw any of this as an "agenda" or anything political. I only really started gaining an interest in US politics because of Star Wars threads in this forum.

Did you hear that the Galaxy is transitioning?

Her fighting style alone pointed to her being a Palpatine. It was mentioned many time over the years. But as previously said. They had many different possible outcomes.....no exact plan.

her hearing the sabers call pointed to a Skywalker, other clues pointed to a Kenobi.....they were just throwing out breadcrumbs the first film......which is not a great way to do things.

once ina while it works . But more often it does not.

There were some good breadcrumbs though... RJ just didnt want any of them.

But I love that Rey looks like she has Palps fighting style and I am happy that it was a happy accident. I prefer it to her being Kenobi's kin. After all Kenobi is old school.. No nookie for him.

We just ended up with more Jedi in seclusion. Yeah, that is really exciting.

 

[xipotec]

JJ is an expert at creating intrigue and mystery.....but like many, fails to deliver answers to those ideas that can satisfy the majority. LOST was the perfect example of this.

While we got a great beginning to the new characters, Finn especially to me, we ended up with half answers that did not satisfy most fans. We can live with the answers, but the mystery promised more than could possible be delivered. Maz summed up JJ style best I’m her “ those answers are for another time” line.

I never assumed the new trilogy would somehow unite fans , or even please the majority of them.....at my age I just wanted to see more space wizards and Laser battles....... not gain some new religious meaning in a movie.

 

[matticus]

JJ just didn't understand SW, whatever claims about being a SW fan over a Trek fan. I don't know how you can spend all that time and not figure out a better story and characters.

 

[abake]

Actually, I think RJ understands SW less than JJ.
As a matter of fact, I think RJ has zero understanding of SW...
