I’m part of the minority that really likes The Last Jedi, but i understand why some people didn’t like it. I’m just tired of being unable to share my opinion on nearly any Star Wars space without hearing “gross someone actually likes that movie” or something like that.

Edit; the best part about his post were all the commenters who literally proved me right

"We need to scramble our fighters! 5 bloody minutes ago."

An ample amount of TIE fighters were subsequently deployed, destroying all Resistance bombers and showing the true might and potential of the First Order.

In other words, Hux is stubborn and a narcissist, and it seems like the First Order are a bunch of young inexperienced Imperial posers in higher positions of power than those Imperials who served 30 years ago ^although ^they ^did ^blow ^up ^5 ^Alderaans.

Rian Johnson established Hux and the youthful inexperienced power of the First Order as narcissistic and arrogant early on through his interaction with our hero Poe and the more qualified villain Captain Canady. I never connected these thoughts before, but this explains why Hux is an idiot and doesn't send TIE fighters against the Raddus, and that makes it easier to embrace more now because of the juxtaposition of subordinate Captain Canady and his superior General Hux. There were other explanations and illustrations of Hux's arrogance and narcissism such as asking Kylo Ren if they should stop their AT-M6/AT-AT advance because of a few insignificant speeders. Hux wants all the attention on him and his power.

Captain Canady must feel surrounded by inexperienced idiots.

"Captain Canady, why aren't you blasting that puny ship?"

"That 'puny ship' is too small and at too close range. We need to scramble our fighters! Five bloody minutes ago."

"He'll never penetrate our armor."

"He's not trying to penetrate our armor. He's clearing out our surface cannons."

"Are the auto cannons primed?"

"Primed and ready, sir."

"What are we waiting for? Fire on the base!"

Hux's character took me the longest to embrace as I had questions against him, but when I watched The Last Jedi again tonight, I instantly had this epiphany of Hux when Captain Canady states "we need to scramble our fighters! Five bloody minutes ago."

I had questions about why Hux didn't just send more TIE fighters to destroy the Resistance quickly since I doubt he cares about the loss of a few of his soldiers for a quick victory. I knew he was an idiot as established by the phone call and asking Kylo Ren if they should stop their advance on the Resistance to simply destroy a few insignificant speeders. But to see the juxtaposition with his older experienced subordinate Captain Canady and his anger at not sending TIE fighters made General Hux's character finally click for me. I'm now 100% embracing Hux's character. He's a much more interesting villain now as he has that added layer of narcissism.

Hux prolongs the chase because he wants the Resistance to fear him while he enjoys his narcissism.

Rian Johnson really added so many layers to The Last Jedi, some that I'm just discovering 2 and a half years after its release! And I've seen The Last Jedi many many times. It's my favorite Star Wars movie as an adult.

Hux was not lazily written. His character was intentional by thoroughly detailed design.

"There's something else beneath the island. A place. A dark place."

"Balance. Powerful light, powerful darkness."

"It's cold. It's calling me."

"Resist it, Rey. Rey? Rey! You went straight to the dark."

"That place was trying to show me something."

"It offered you something you needed. And you didn't even try to stop yourself."

"But I didn't see you. Nothing from you. You've closed yourself off from the Force. Of course you have."

"I've seen this raw strength only once before, in Ben Solo. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now."

The exploration of the Sith and Exegol would add more layers to the destruction of Palpatine and his cult occupying an arena. That arena must've been the Roman Colosseum of Sith Lords back in the day. Back in the Old Republic days.

Different cults of Sith would be duking it to the death in that stadium 15,000 years before the events in the Rise of Skywalker. Seeing that in an Old Republic chapter series would add more context to the 80,000 cultists who were smashed to death by boulders of infrastructure. Killing 80,000 people should make the audience feel something. Having an Old Republic series would tie up the Sith ending in Episode IX with more context. It's also an era high in demand.

I'm probably wrong though, but the trilogy is happening.

Does anybody thinks the duel of the fates script would have been great for star wars in general? Idk about the execution of duel of the fates but based on script it felt like a satisfying ending to skywalker saga or whatever saga. I didn't want Kylo ren to redeem himself he chooses the dark path himself not because he wanted to save someone like Vader but to change the past ideology of Jedi perception.

I specifically remember a red text crawl. Also the music was much different. Yet I can't find this version of the text crawl on youtube.

Am I the only one who remembers this?

I know its not him, I looked into the many cameos in this movie. But toward the end of the movie, when they are showing the soldiers in the trenches, there is a brief shot of a few soldiers, he is seemingly mid-aged and with a short haircut. I watched the movie a few times and could of sworn it was Bruce Willis. Anyone else catch on this? And how, if at all, is this guy important?

I'm in the camp who liked TFA, and loved TLJ. Unfortunately, after seeing episode 9 and not enjoying it, I left the theater with a sour taste in my mouth about the whole trilogy. However, as time has passed I appreciate that TLJ was the only movie that actually was creative. Thank you RJ.

Is anyone, or has anyone ever spoken to someone who loved TFA but then hated TLJ citing the fact that look ran away as one of their main complaints. I'm genuinely curious, because JJ Abrams is the one who put Luke in exile, what they thought he was doing? Like, were they okay with Luke on an island somewhere because they thought he was training to become some sort of super Jedi? He was mastering the Spirit Bomb to eventually come back and destroy the First Order? What were they expecting as a legitimate reason that he was absent while the galaxy was once again being crushed under the boot heel of militaristic oppression?

Rise basically retcons all the most interesting elements from TLJ. It's almost offensive.

Spoilers re: The Last Jedi...not The Rise of Skywalker.

So, I'm prepping my mind for The Rise of Skywalker, and trying to think through my own predictions. Just re-watched TLJ, and noticed how things were set up in the very end.

Throughout the first two movies, Rey and Finn have had a complicated relationship...not quite romantic, but certainly a connection.

Similarly, Kylo and Rey established a full on connection in TLJ (albeit an explosive one). It could easily be said that their relationship has romantic elements.

Finally, at the end of TLJ, Rose kisses Finn and he seems to seriously contemplate his feelings, then later he looks after Rose in a way that suggests his feelings for her are romantic.

I'm thinking this sets up the likelihood of a love triangle impacting Rey and Kylo's path to light or dark. I could see Rey's jealousy of Finn/Rose pushing her to the dark, while Kylo's affection for Rey pulls him to the light, until it all blows up in the end.

I can't believe I didn't see it before, but a love triangle is such an easy plot device, and they've laid it right out there.

Would love to hear (a) if others agree that this will be an important element of The Rise of Skywalker and (b) how you think it might play out.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY DETAILS FROM THE TRAILERS...Trailers are Spoilers.

Does anybody know where I can find some more Ackbar footage for a Last Jedi fan edit? I’ve used all of his part from Return of the Jedi so far

Is it me or did the last Jedi just take a big ol steamy dump over the whole story line and characters. For instance it was a two year wait to see what Luke is gonna do with the lost light saber and a potential new Jedi just to scoff and throw it away as a joke. It seemed like a personal FU to every Star Wars fan, like haha you took it serious and we made a stupid joke out of it. Snoke, the new badass on the block with tons of mystery and potential dead in one scene. Mystery of reys parents, having Rey admit they were just worthless trash the whole time, ( I hope this gets turned around). Poe and fin going on a completely worthless adventure that neither benefited or hurt anything, that just make em look like assholes the whole time. Like was there a point to this movie? What did it’s story do? What mystery and intriguing plot lines did it develop? Okay my rant is over

in the opening sequence, after Poeh ignored her why doesn't Leah send out a message to the rest of the fleet, since she is higher in rank?

I very much love that track on the soundtrack

Flashback maybe?

Or possibly even better

Seriously, look long and hard at it instead of jacking off to the fact that it's named Star Wars.

Maybe I'm looking too much in to this. But it looks like after the two fighters with kylo ren shoot princess leia, kylo uses the force to destroy the fighters... check it out...

Do you think it will be soon after episode 9 or do you think it will take a decade or two?
