He's a better director than writer, but who knows I guess. "Monsters" was beautifully shot and FX but pretty forgettable story-wise.

What JJ really said to Ford to get him back:
"I have a check here in the amount that Disney was going to pay Julia Roberts for Bliss and Anthony Hopkins for Tor Valum, but if you come back we're going to bring Palpatine back instead and a friend of mine will play Bliss for free."

Not even Lucas knows what being a force ghost means.
Honestly I don?t care if the actor knows the meaning or not as long as how it fits into the story works out for the narrative and I have to say of ALL the things wrong with TROS and boy is there plenty wrong with it the ONE THING it did NOT get wrong was the Han force ghost / memory scene!
That closure being tied to Leia death was about as perfectly handled as anyone could have hoped for.
It offered a tremendous emotional punch and an elegant send off for both Leia AND Han and a totally acceptable redemption for Kylo by none other than forgiveness from his parents who both layed down their lives for him and in turn he layed down his life for the greater good in honor of his parents defeat of the empire!
Now had Ackbar only been given the Holdo maneuver in TLJ we would?ve had 3 great send offs in 2 movies!
Holdo pfft stupid forced SJW crap
Ackbar was A-Sexual anyways his death would?ve met all SJW requirements.

I would probably be disappointed if Ford knew what a Force ghost was, it would make him less "Han," lol.
Yes send offs for TROS Han, Leia, and even Luke were perfect IMO. Lando was awesome and I loved his upbeat attitude the whole movie and him zipping past Poe to save Finn and Jannah.
25-30% of TROS is silly af but none of it bothers me the way that the flaws of ROTJ, the PT, or TLJ bother me. My one main criticism as you know is not having more "oomph" to the space battle. I think I figured it out too and it's because JJ pretty much always shows his space battles as medium shots where you see tons of ships assumedly because he always wants to show the epic scale of the battles. But SW, ROTJ, and RO are so awesome because most of the battles feature tight shots on the fighters (making them look awesome as they fill up the screen) and tracking with specific fighters longer so that you feel like you're really "in" the battles. I wish TROS had more of that.
Not a big enough criticism to make me dislike the final battle though and I still put it far above TPM and ROTS space battles (not saying much obviously but still.) Also given the fact that we will always have the Yavin, Hoth, DSII and Scarif battles it makes having a somewhat lackluster battle above Exegol easier to stomach.
But yes I agree that Ben Solo's redemption was perfect as well, especially since after TFA I never really allowed for such a thing to be viably possible so it's pretty amazing that they pulled it off. Plus the male/female "Force dyad" (ST's version of Luke/Leia twins) facing off against the Emperor in Episode IX is something I've dreamed about for literal decades and seeing that finally play out on screen just knocks TROS out of the park for me.
I recognize that RO is definitely a better made film but TROS just has so much stuff that I love from beginning to end.

Yeah I love Lando?s laugh lol
That final battle though yikes!
The final space battle was the 2nd most critical thing they needed to get right after the proper handling of the primary characters and boy did they drop the ball big time on that objective.
That actually hurts to write lol
STAR WARS......STAR WARS!!!!
How do you drop the ball with a final epic space battle to close off the saga this was not a middle entry we are talking about here!
So yes while it was still better than those 2 you pointed out it still should?ve been a freaking grand spectacle!
I would?ve forgiven EVERYTHING else I disliked about TROS had the space battle been mind blowing orgasmic.
Kylo redemption was a damn near miracle if you ask me lol
Yes if that's a deal breaker then there's definitely no saving TROS for you, lol.
"Welcome to Exegol!"
*squeak squeak zzzzzz," lol.
Hey I at least got to see B-Wings *actually flying, shooting, and getting blown up* this time.
I do agree that an off the charts space battle would have covered a multitude of sins but since those sins weren't present and I loved everything else I'm fine with watching the space horsies and Pryde's entire fleet completely disregard his instructions to use ion cannons, lol.
Female SD Captain: "Incoming ships sir!"
General Pryde: "Use ion cannons!"
Female SD Captain:
*to her crew* "Normal batteries, fire away."
lol
"Welcome to Exegol!"

I can't deny that half of this movie can really be MST 3000'd to death but for whatever reason it doesn't hurt the entertainment value at all for me, lol. I mean now that it's out there would I want JJ to go back and edit out the sappy snake coiled lovingly around Rey, no way!
I love how Finn lets Rose join the 200 yard horse charge...on foot.
Finn: "All right team, we're about to land, mount your horses. Out-of-shape lesbians and hobbits, um, you can run with us for the first 10 feet I guess, bye!"
lol

Finn: leave without me!

Rose and Holdo were so cast aside in TROS, lol.
SW: "Great shot kid that was one in a million!"
ROTJ: "Because of Luke's one in a million effort lets get even MORE bold and fly INTO the Death Star this time! Yeah, we'll be just like Luke!"
TROS:
"Why don't we pull some Holdo maneuvers and do some real damage."
"That was one in a million blind luck, nothing heroic, that would be stupid to try please never speak of Holdo again."
lol

Especially since some ewoks just said **** it and did it anyway, lol.
They just didn't want to validate Holdo's actions in any way. Going forward it will be called the Logray Maneuver, lol.

Perfect, lol.

We should be discussing why Sonic didn't poop jelly beans and why they didn't use Russell Brand for the voice.
