I couldn't see it in the theater last night. I'll look for it tomorrow.

Having Yoda in the movie would have been fine, had he not been able to use Force Lightening to destroy the tree. That makes zero sense.

I LOVED IT. It was everything The Force Awakens wasn't.

Everything I was going over in my head that could come off as a rip off of ESB didn't happen in this fucking movie. A hamfisted I am your *relative* scene? Someone getting captured or frozen in carbonite? That goofy bullshit about Snoke being a force vampire? NONE OF IT HAPPENED.

This was even better than Rogue One. It was just FILLED with pure moments of Star Wars joy and emotion.

Leia using the force in a way that didn't come off as goofy, but was instead graceful and a nod to Carrie Fisher IRL? YES.

Luke talking to R2-D2 like it was 1980 again? YES.

YODA looking and ACTING like a CG version of the puppet from ESB? Lecturing Luke one last time? Frank Oz perfectly delivering lines like he stepped out of a time machine? HOLY FUCK I CRIED. HE HIT HIM WITH A GHOSTLY GIMER STICK. :-)

The Falcon showing up to save the fucking day, and then burrowing through Crait's caverns WHILE THE FUCKING MUSIC FROM RETURN OF THE JEDI PLAYED? NERD BONER.

BB-8 PILOTING AN AT-ST WALKER AND FUCKING SHIT UP? :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

LUKE DRINKING GREEN MILK? :-)

And the climax....my god...the climax. Handled perfectly. I was feeling bummed when I heard the rumors of Luke's death, but it didn't come the way I thought it would at all. I thought he was going to show up and take out Snoke at the end, sacrificing himself in the process. This was perfect, right down to him staring into twin suns as he becomes one with the force. Totally punking that little bitch Kylo on his way out.

I was sad, and yet really happy, because Luke Skywalker was just handled so perfectly in this movie.

And Rey. Really worried when I saw that shot of her with Kylo's saber in the trailer that she was going to be way too overpowered in this. But they handled her character progression and conflict about what to do perfectly. I actually thought she was going to turn in this movie, but it would have been completely unbelievable. They really wrote her well in this movie.

I fucking loved it.

Don't fuck this up in IX, JJ.

The Force is with us.

i still dont get what happened with Luke....can someone explain? So ne was using the force to transport his out of body self to battle Kylo Ren....but then he dies at the end? I guess im lost as to what happened with him at the end.

And fwiw, i thjng kylk ren is a very huge pussy, very Hayden Christensen immature beta like,
Wish he was more of a hardass.

Can anyone name for me a positive male role model in this that does not need to be helped by a female? The Disney reference here is Princesses having the power.

I mean lets go...Finn was about to get in an escape pod and get the hell out of dodge but is put on the right path by Rose. Also is saved later when he was going to stop the big weapon by Rose.

Poe is the hot shot gunner who get slapped and demoted by Leia and gets talked to about leaderships skills by Leia. He also is put in Check by Admiral Holdo or whatever her name is.

Luke?? He wants to die on a Planet and is coerced to come out by Rey and the Hologram of Leia from New Hope.

Lets flip the script a bit. Can you name any female that is a bad character in this film? Phasma Doesn't count since you don't see her out of the full armor.

Strong Female characters are good but just like the force there needs to be Balance. Such as why not Keep Admiral Akbar around to do the suicide shot into the Devastator? People know Akbar from ROTJ and the Comics. His death was wasted and this would have had more meaning and have some feeling to it. Who the hell is Admiral Holdo anyway besides a Friend of Leia's??

Other stupid crap: Why should I even give a crap about Snoke? No explanation. How did he target Ben? what was his motivations or what is he doing??? Oh who cares lets kill him off. Maybe I will have to read some stupid book to get an update on that.

Phasma was built up and is a waste.

Lukes death was I think a waste but I have heard some people drawing a comparison to Obi wan and Yoda stating that they accomplished their mission and could die in peace. Not sure I believe that but ok whatever.

Rey's Parentage. Really, she is a nobody? ok well thanks for the build up and the "secrecy" behind it. Who cares?? Maybe this will be fixed in Episode 9 where we find out Ben was lying or something.

Also, were are Anakin and Obi Wan? They were Force Ghosts.

It just makes zero sense.

I actually really liked the deal with Rey's parents. JJ may flip-flop it around in the next one though, but for me, it was refreshing and unexpected. And they way driver delivered that line was perfect. T

Chewie cooking a porg and then fighting off the horrified porgs who don't want him to eat it and then finally deciding not to...pure ****ing genius. I loved Chewie in this movie.
