This is unfortunate brothers! This is your Cypher from the Matrix moment. You know the cold, hard truth of reality now. You’ve taken the red pill and awoken. But the familiarity of what made you feel warm and fuzzy in the past calls to you. You want to taste that delicious steak again, and are willing to make sacrifices that you know are not right, even though you know it to be a lie. The agents have been relentless in their work on breaking you.
But you’ve seen something is wrong.. wor-gars déjà-vu’s keep popping up...
Unfortunately the real world has many shades, and some are indeed very bleak. It is the cost of being in your senses. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
So will you choose to go back to that land of innocence where everything seems right but it is no longer real? Or will you stand up and face the hard truth of reality so we can make a better tomorrow where it really counts?
This is not just a battle for some paltry movie... but for your very souls!
Arise! Mend your broken spirits and rise!
Deshi deshi basara basara!
Deshi deshi basara basara!
Yes brother, do not lose the light! The prophecy shall yet come to pass! I see great potential in you!
Or to quote Michael Caine about 10,009 times in interstellar:
Do not go gently into that goodnight; rage, rage against the dying of the light!
The issue is that empire strikes back was beloved back then.
Now retarded low IQ audiences are hating the last jedi
The last jedi has the same quality as empire strikes back.
What changed was the egg brain millenials
No ESB is a good movie. TLJ is not!
You write a lot of fan fiction when you talk about this film Khev ... SO the Rebels finally have something they need.. Someone strong with the force.. Well thanks a lot Leia.. You know.. The Door breaking, space flying general..
Rey is here to stay.. Ok.. I never really thought she left.. SHe was going to get Luke to bring him back with her.. To help the rebels.. Not to bring him back so she could leave.. She ended up in the same spot she would have no matter how the events went with Luke.. And because there is no danger of her ever being corrupted.. Well we are back to nothing really happens accept a bunch of filler.
Anyways.. AS wrong as you are Khev and Jye.. I still love you even though I lost some respect for you
Crows you are awesome!
Don't bait me out of retirement JAWS.
Fan-fiction? Fan-fiction?? :
The entire opening scroll of TFA is about Leia wanting to find Luke to help them defeat the FO. Same with TLJ. So Rey went to find him because they clearly thought they needed someone with his abilities. Rey was *not* fully committed to the Resistance which Luke guessed and that is why he asked her "WHY are you here" twice to which she gave a different answer the second time. She wanted to know where she belonged and as we saw from her reluctance to leave Jakku in TFA we know that a cause in and of itself isn't necessarily enough to earn her full attention on it's own. But in the end Leia was at peace with knowing that Luke wouldn't be helping any further (so the quest to retrieve him which spanned two films was finally at an end) and she acknowledged that "we have everything we need right here" in reference to Rey. Rey also had no need to run off to the horizon to find where she needed to be. She made her choice when she left the island and was at home on the Falcon with the rest of the Resistance, obviously filling the hole that Luke had left (and Snoke himself even said as much.)
Maybe on that note we should just call it a day with TLJ and move on to sharing our wisdom/memes/gifs in the Solo/Obi-Wan threads from here on out.
TLJ = Legit
See ya round kids.
*disappears*
Funny.. I was thinking the same thing actually earlier today.. I did not see this post until I saw what you wrote about "baiting out of retirement..
All that can or needs to be said about this film has been said.
I think we can all agree its just not very good...
Yes I see that there's not much point in discussing it further. You find it strange that I like it and I find it strange that you turn every story element into a negative. You say Rey was perfect but then cite her failure to convince Luke to take his saber or Kylo to turn as a "lack of growth" as opposed to a character flaw or failure, when in fact one of the film's primary themes is growing through failure or growing through disappointment.
It just seems like you're writing off her successes as evidence she's a boring Mary Sue and her failures as evidence she "didn't going anywhere." Obviously Rey can't win with you.
There's nothing you can do to convince me that this was a poorly made film. I find it quite easy to defend and the more I think about it the more I find to like.
Like that silent moment outside the Falcon where it's raining and the ship is shielding her from getting wet. Yet she can't contain her excitement at so much precipitation and sticks her hand out in the deluge with an ear to ear grin. And of course she would growing up on a desert planet. So many cool moments like that, some small, some epic.
I get that most of them were lost on you but since I always assume that most sensible fans of a franchise would *want* to like a new installment it was still fun to share my view of the film to see if any of it rubbed off on you. Obviously it didn't but hey to each his own.
Can't.. Resist... Must... reply.. to Khev
JAWS said:Sounds like someone has a schoolboy crush.. It all makes sense now..
oy you ain't kidding.. I have been let down by both of these chapters I have to keep putting my hopes in the next one.. I think I am just going to have to write this trilogy of films off.. But I still have hope for the standalone films
God Bless you Khev.. I am happy you enjoyed the film... I am sad for the rest of us poor saps
