TLJ did it’s job just fine of showing all that’s left of the resistance is in the Millennium Falcon, setting the stage for the Ewoks to save their ass again. Who do you think they’re signaling with the beacon?

They need them to pelt the FO Stormtroopers with stones. Weaponry the resistance could never have.

Right. Like I said, you're essentially saying if Luke's going to kill someone, at least kill them when they're awake/in battle and not asleep, because there's indeed a big difference. Correct?

So if Luke engaged Ben Ren in a lightsaber duel with the intention of striking him down, you'd be fine with that, yes?

How are you making this jump with me? For me, Luke never gets to this situation. I thought I’ve made that pretty clear. Not sure what you’re trying to say with the whole steelman set up.

“representation matters.”

women and people of color, and the misogynist, racist, classist

his toxic masculinity

so-called alt-right

Damn so close. Just needed "white privilege" for Bingo

Credit to Rian for not full retreading esb, but what we got felt nothing like star wars imo. None of that had anything to do with the ethnicity of the characters. It had everything to do with humor, language, motivations that didn't really fit in a star wars movie.

I know some didn't dig it, but Rogue One still delivered everything I needed in a Star Wars movie while being different enough to feel like it's own thing.

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you unhappy with Luke contemplating killing his nephew in his sleep, or contemplating killing his nephew at all under any circumstance? If the latter, I'm not sure what relevance his nephew being asleep would have.

Implies cowardice, which is further antithesis to Luke.

So you're simply unhappy with him contemplating killing him in his sleep then?

Well since lando did not show up on this one watch him be in charge of the other resistance, which would mean nothing since they would off him to complete closure now.

No. Like I said, that only further contradicts Luke’s character. It was contradicted in the first place when he debates killing his nephew at all.

So if you're opposed to Luke killing his nephew at all under any circumstance (even if he engaged him in a lightsaber duel with the intent of killing him because he's evil) then what difference does it make if he's asleep or not?

I'm about to drop out of society and start again taking mushrooms LSD and peyote after this film.
(and it still wouldn't make sense)

Oh and **** Rose!! Stupid character!

WTF the critics the other day talking about best since Empire. Talk about FAKE NEWS!

You do realize critics get paid vacations, more access, etc. for favorable reviews, right? Never trust the critics!

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD

So hear we go. I’ve been reading all of your thoughts on the movie since I got back from seeing it. Here are mine:

The moment Luke tossed the saber Rey brought to him through all of the struggles and drama of TFA and through all of the history of that hilt over his shoulder, I should have stood up and walked straight out of the theater.

Contemplate to irony of waiting 34 years to see Luke back in action, and the first thing he does is try to murder a Youngling. I’m done...

Done with Star Wars or done talking about TLJ? Was there anything that you liked about the movie?

It’s 7:49pm on the east coast and The Last Jedi still sucks harder than Luke on one of those quad titty beach giraffes.

Damn, they have this up fast.

I liked the movie but damn that’s funny!

There's a lot more on reddit, including the whole ending.

I can say after watching the movie I have zero interest in owning Snoke. What a chump.

With that **** eating smile he had milking it, force projection was not the only “skill” he perfected while on the island.

If Rian must absolutely take the character in this direction and put Luke in the scenario where he seriously questions killing his apprentice —a direction I’ve made pretty clear I disagree with, it only further adds insult to injury to debate doing it in such a cowardly way that further takes away from his already compromised character.
