In response to the whole "what a waste of Snoke they never told us who he was" complaint, the same could've been said about Palps after ROTJ. It wasn't until the prequels we got any backstory to him.

Like I've said before, this movie was not perfect at all. But I think alot of people ruined this movie for themselves with their own personal expectations of what should happen.

Just because it was done like that in the OT doesn't make it perfect or something that has to be repeated in subsequent films.

I thought TLJ was all about being different? How about some proper fleshing out/screen use of the all powerful villain for once?

And yeah, we did get the prequels for Palpatine. It's highly unlikely we'll get an equivalent for Snoke. We'll get a book though, probably.

It’s funny whenever I see the Han Solo gifs and pics posted, I can already tell that this film’s plot was completely written with the mindset that Han Solo wasn’t in it.

You can tell the flow of the movie wouldn’t have made sense if Han was in it. They would have to completely rewrite the script
 
Guyver, you should know better than to do this to yourself. Honestly.

Why didn't Maul come back? Why didn't Jango come back? Why didn't Dooku come back? Why didn't General Grievous come back? Why didn't Tarkin come back? Why didn't Boba come back? Why didn't Jabba come back? Why didn't Vader come back? Why didn't Palpatine come back?

Because they're dead. They're all DEAD.


They only stupid character that keeps coming back is this pointless *****.

I'll bet you 5 internet bucks that she returns in Episode 9 before Snookie does. This time they'll show her face before she's killed off for good.

I’ll say spot on with Phasma..completely useless character ..both films, it’s almost a slap in the face to Gwen IMO. I kept thinking..why. Even if they do EU on Phasma , I’m not interested :lecture

Phasma is the embodiment of Johnson's shortcomings with this movie.
The guy had no idea what to do with what JJ had established. He got rid of everything he could, and that was perfectly represented by her 'comeback'.
His imagination might be great, but certainly not used in the context of a Star Wars movie.
When fans write ten times better hypothetical scripts than you, and you are getting paid millions to do so, something's wrong.

Better have her die and stay dead then. She comes back in EP IX..forget it :slap

Well someone will have to be Vader and Plagueis the wise.

Very graphic for a Disney movie. If they can show that, then Wolvie slashing people shouldn't be a big deal.

In a SW movie no less.

Boy at least for now, did Johnson destroy that Plagueis theory. Honestly, I think he did it on purpose because he was probably tired of people speculating Snoke was tied to Plagueis

The most solid theory (based on current canon books) is that Snoke is 'something' from the unknown regions.
Palpatine felt something tremendously powerful in the Force and was planning to find out what it was, but died before he could.

That's most likely Snoke, problem is, Rian Johnson doesn't care about the rest of the canon, he was just writing his own little personal movie. So instead of giving us two lines out of Luke's mouth about that, taking up maybe 30 seconds of screen time, he gave us the adventures of Rose and Finn at a casino.
 


Oh man I would die so happy.

I want him involved and also for Kennedy to quadruple the SJW stuff in IX to truly make it a special ending.

Oh man it would be Anakin lava “I HATE YOU” levels of rage directed at Kennedy. lol

Combining the worst of the PT with SJW stuff the casino scene was just the start. :lol

You're right. I expected a good movie. Stupid.

I won't make that mistake again. Bring on Solo.
I meant as in people having 2 years of built up expectations and theories to who is Snoke, who are Rey's parents, how awesome Luke will be, will Kylo turn to the light, etc. Expecting to like a movie and not liking it is disappointing but it is what it is, but people saying it killed the series and they'll never see another SW movie again because it didn't play out the way they personally wanted it to is a little dramatic.

And it being a bad movie is your opinion. I thought it was good, as well as many others. Not perfect, but good, which is pretty common for SW movies I'd say.

It's not perfect or should be repeated, I'm just saying the same complaint could be made about the OT. I was a little surprised when they killed him off but not upset or disappointed because it furthers Kylo's story, who is a much more compelling character than Snoke imo.

Yeah just like they really could have done something with that dark side space cave, hole, whatever it was supposed to be, in the film and Johnson totally dismissed it after Rey saw her reflection when both Kylo and Luke knew about it. Oh no..Johnson would rather focus on Reylo for the uppteenth time in the film :pfft:

And BTW..the internet a buzz with Reylo is just crazy. Yes they had a bond, but no way did I see Rey attracted to Kylo other than she understands him and wants to make him good again. But did I miss something, nothing showed me any passion or lust between these two. It also seemed like Rey was getting sick of getting linked to him.

These people that are shipping these two in pics, gifs, comments , etc really are going to feel stupid if no romance with Reylo happens in EP IX
