It's a little early for drunk posting jye, lol.
And 12 months? I'll just be getting started.
Every scared serious trooper must be wondering why you are so jovial over the imminent invasion lol

Great way to put it, particularly about the lesser SW films (and TV shows) being only as good as you're willing to put up with. Sure AOTC sucks but if you love the arena and land battle at the end sometimes that's enough to give it a watch from time to time. I'd definitely put TROS in my personal top five SW films. It might even be my #3 in sheer enjoyment despite RO being the objectively "better" film. We'll see if I feel that way in a year or two.
My love for the OT and RO never waned but I was fine dismissing the PT and was leaning toward doing the same for the ST before TROS came out so yeah it's so fun to have a renewed interest in everything again.

The way he rolls took out Finn in TLJ I don?t think she would?ve needed any help from Obi-Wan if she did the trench run in ANH.
She would?ve just squeezed her entire X Wing down into that shaft at record breaking speeds.

Wait jye I got Poe's TROS X-Wing too but he flew with R2 not BB-8 remember?
Hopefully you didn't just realize that you paid real money for a TLJ Rose that you didn't need, lol.

Oh no, lol.
It's a wonder Rey didn't claim ownership of R2 considering everything else that was bequethed to her - lightsabers, last name, the Falcon, Chewbacca...

That?s what I get for making purchases past my bedtime.
Thankfully I was able to cancel it just in time before they shipped it and I just ordered my second R2 unit for Poe TROS Xwing.
Thank you Khev!
DiFabio would?ve just let me go down with the Rose ship lol
I think one of the deleted scenes is her going back in time and taking possession of all the ceremony metals in ANH lol

Phew, lol!
Yeah I bought both Vintage Collection X-Wings too, Poe and Luke's, plus a TLJ Ach-To Luke in case I want to have him raising the ship from the ocean.
I've also managed to find three Sith Troopers (effing love the look of those guys) and ordered a case of TROS Vintage figures from BBTS (including X-Wing Luke.)
Yeah and apparently "Rey Skywalker" was a forced edit by Disney to trim a few seconds off the run time. Originally she stole *everyone's* name. "I'm Rey. Rey Skywalker Solo Palpatine Windu Kenobi Erso Organa Quadinaros Rex."

I actually did think it was cool watching that final shot of her with BB-8 in front of the suns and feeling like the Saga came full circle back to the Skywalker hero on Tatooine being a girl.
You know ajp watching it again I can definitely see how you might still interpret Rey defeating Palps herself without the full might of all past Jedi's power. It really comes down to what Luke meant when he said that all the Jedi live in you now. I kind of took it as a unique thing to counter Palpatine saying that all the Sith were in him and not something that would apply to any other Jedi (like Luke when he was the last Jedi or even redeemed Ben in this movie.)
But...visually, yeah all we do see is just Palps shooting lightning into her sabers and then it comes back at him. If you want to assume that it's simply a more amplified version of what happened when Mace Windu was repelling the lightning attack in ROTS (a perfectly valid assumption) then I can't say that there's anything on screen to disprove you. Maybe the novelization or additional deleted scenes might spell it out more but the film itself definitely allows for either interpretation. So I just wanted to throw that out there since previously I wasn't really allowing for that.
Luckily for me even *if* it's just Rey (and she *was* training at the very beginning of the movie to learn how to "hear the voices" so that's another reason to think that maybe they only assisted because she specifically called them) then I still like how it played out. Because again I've never let go of Luke being the more important hero of the Saga than Anakin. And I have no problem with Luke being sort of this fixed point who is able to defeat Palpatine twice, and *neither* time having to get his hands dirty by performing the actual kill. I kind of like that, his spirit is the one that fuels others to victory, and by extension victory for himself, and he stays "pure."
But if it's important to have Anakin be the "One" who ends the Sith once and for all and your take is that it really was just Rey being verbally encouraged to hold up a pair of lightsabers then I get you as to why that would ruin that (all important) aspect of the story.

A damn shame that Alita got snubbed for Visual Effects though.
