Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

Funny, with everything else going on, I didn't mind the porgs.

I didn't like the cat-camels or the crystal dogs, but just from a design standpoint.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It was like an opening to a musical - you expected it was going to cut to the kid all-grown-up as Hugh Jackman with the "Stomp" broom guys dancing as back-up, but with no hands on the moving brooms.

I expected Broom Boy to do this...

I totally forgot about the multiple-Reys-clicks-their-fingers scene.

I thought she was going to let out a MJ shrill cry and begin doing a few hip thrusts. It really felt like something out of a cheesy late 70's music video where they used video "effects" like replicating the singer as if in mirrors.

They could've played Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' during that scene.

Funny, with everything else going on, I didn't mind the porgs.

The porgs are the only ones who came out of this with their careers intact.

I better not see any of y’all in the 9 thread, if your done with it be done with it and let us plebs enjoy our star wars soda.

More mainstream media putting the boot in.

JJ Abrams’ The Force Awakens may have been accused of following too closely to the plot of A New Hope, but there wasn’t anything particularly weird about that movie.
The Last Jedi however was a very bold follow-up with all kinds of bizarre moments.
So here’s a list of the 13 most out-there scenes, that left some fans wondering what on earth was going on.

Poe’s prank phone call

The opening scene saw Poe Dameron prank calling General Hux from his X-Wing, in a comedy tone more suited to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
And if you thought Hux had reached the zenith of his over-the-top camp villainy that wouldn’t look out of place in Adam West Batman, then think again.
Luke’s lightsaber throw
Fans have been waiting two years to see what happened next after the final scene of The Force Awakens on Ahch-To, with Rey reaching out to Luke with lightsaber.
How would the Jedi Master react to seeing his blue lightsaber, lost with his hand thanks to Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back? Surely with some suitable dramatic and emotional gesture? Nope.
In the most trolling way possible it seems. There might as well have been a record scratch noise to halt John Williams’ glorious theme as Luke casually throws his father’s blue laser sword over his shoulder and just walks off camera. Seriously? We waited for that?

LUCASFILM
They might as well have cut John Williams' score with a record scratch during this sceneThe milking scene
As Rey follows Luke on his daily routine in exile, the last jedi decided to milk a large fat sea cow and slurp its milk right in front of her. Just a tad weird.
Floating Leia
Attacked by the First Order, General Leia is sucked into the vacuum of space and slowly starts to freeze over.
But just when you think it’s all over, she suddenly wakes up and decides to float toward the surviving airlock. Presumably she was using the Force? Even so, odd.
The leaf tickle
Having given in to training Rey, Luke gets her to sit on his meditation rock.
Closing her eyes the serious tone suddenly turns goofy as he tickles her hand with a leaf pretending its the Force.

LUCASFILM

Finn and Rose are sent to the galaxy’s casino hotspot to find the Master Codebreaker, only to never reach him and come back with some bloke called DJ.
Essentially the whole trip was a pointless venture in a dragging middle, just to show a new area of the Star Wars universe and introduce some cute animals for merchandising purposes.
Topless Kylo Ren
During the “Force texting” scenes between Rey and Kylo Ren, one of their encounters features a topless Adam Driver. Just because? Rey even tells him to cover up.
Multi-Rey’s clicking
Investigating the Dark Side inner depths of Ahch-To’s island, there’s suddenly multiple Rey’s clicking. Okay.
But then do we find out who her parents really are? No, no we don’t.

LUCASFILM/VF
Canto Bight was full of weird and wacky creatures that were rushed through in this pointless segmentThe ironing scene
Having infiltrated Snoke’s Supremacy, Finn, Rose and DJ leave the ship’s ironing room.
Of course there would need to be these areas on such a ship, but it felt in the realms of self-parody, in the vein of Eddie Izzard’s Death Star canteen.
Snoke’s death
The sequel trilogy’s main villain was barely introduced in The Force Awakens and as soon as we meet him properly he’s killed off.
We don’t know who Snoke is, how he gained power and he’s already dead half way through a trilogy. What on earth? Maybe, just maybe, he'll be back in Episode IX.

LUCASFILM
Snoke's sudden death came without character development or knowing is backstory. What a wasteRey’s parents are nobodies
This was one of the biggest questions left by The Force Awakens and was presumed to be a shocking revelation in The Last Jedi.
But no, Kylo Ren revealed her parents were just nobodies. That’s it? We’re hopeful he’s lying though and she’ll be revealed as a Skywalker in Episode IX.
Why else would she have the Luke/Leia twin-like connection with Kylo Ren and to the Skywalker lightsaber?
Luke’s dusting off hand
After Kylo Ren orders Luke to be shot in a fury of lasers, the last jedi emerges from the red smoke on Crait, only to dust himself off with one hand. Cringe.

LUCASFILM
Kylo Ren told Rey her parents were nobodies. The Last Jedi's biggest troll?Luke never left Ahch-To
Another big one that angered the hardcore fans. Every Skywalker saga Star Wars film has a major lightsaber battle.
While this looked set to be fulfilled with Kylo Ren against Luke, it was only very brief.
However, the “big twist” was that Luke was never really there at all. He just projected himself on Crait with the Force, by meditating on a rock. What an anti-climax.

Goooood.

I'm not done. I'm full of hope. Desperate hope, but still hope.

 

[Wor-Gar]

i think this sequel was more disappointing and bad quality than Matrix Reloaded. it even ruined what the first one set up to do

Reloaded had half a good movie in it though. From the staircase fight onwards.

It's true. All of it.

 

[jye4ever]

i think this sequel was more disappointing and bad quality than Matrix Reloaded. it even ruined what the first one set up to do

Wait are you Snikt now you knew what they were setting up for TLJ?

I’m happy that none of my predictions didn’t come true that would’ve been pretty lame and anticlimatic.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Now you all know how I felt at "Crystal Skull" and why I hate when they bring back the aging for "one more go" at what they were famous for.

And yes, no Indy 5 please.

The one bright side is that Luke is done and they can't abuse him anymore. Well, until they make him do the Joker voice for the rest of his life.

 

[Khev]

Now you all know...why I hate when they bring back the aging for "one more go" at what they were famous for.

But dat BR 2049....

 

[Wor-Gar]

But dat BR 2049....

Ford was even unnecessary in that. Worst part of the movie to me. But then again I saw 46 so...

 

[higgins1989]

I better not see any of y’all in the 9 thread, if your done with it be done with it and let us plebs enjoy our star wars soda.

Is there a way to copy and paste all 1387 pages of this thread into that one once its created?

 

[Asta]

Did the production team get their wires crossed with Crait?

It's covered in salt so it looks like a snowy planet.

So they add arctic foxes and snowtroopers...because at one stage it was going to be snow instead of salt?

But then somebody had the idea of using shifting salt as the audience's clue to Luke's absence?

 

[jye4ever]

Now you all know how I felt at "Crystal Skull" and why I hate when they bring back the aging for "one more go" at what they were famous for.

And yes, no Indy 5 please.

But but but you just finished telling Khev that you had no problem with Luke’s arc.

And just like TLJ is a masterpiece when compared to the PT it is the same when compared to KOTCS.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That salt planet is symbolic -- like ripping through flesh to reveal the blood beneath -- like the way the movie rips your heart out of your chest.









See what I did there, Khev?

[lttgtimaatisgdaicfi]

That's why I didn't see this mess coming until Luke threw away Anakin's lightsaber.

That was the best part of the movie. No one saw that coming including the fan boys who eat this stuff 24-7.
