You're probably one of those clowns who loved Yoda in Episode II. [Reply]

I'm not so sure the Resistance and the FO aren't going to be on nearly equal ground in Episode 9.
That's not even remotely possible, as the Resistance has zero ships and only a few military leaders left.
I'm sure the First Order fleet is scattered all over the galaxy. [Reply]

Yeah but there are surely other systems with their own ships that will gladly sign up to fight the FO.
And I'm not so sure...we haven't really been given an idea of how big the FO really is. I have a feeling they just lost a BIG chunk of their fleet. [Reply]

I wasn't let down at all with Luke. Everyone always comes into these movies about what they think should happen and then are insanely disappointed that their vision wasn't put down on film. That's why everyone universally loves the Original Trilogy, because people let the story be told to them instead of tried to write it themselves.
Spoiler!
You wanted Luke to **** shit up and it didn't happen
= the movie sucks.
Spoiler!
Didn't learn the backstory on Snoke
= the movie sucks.
Spoiler!
Didn't like or didn't learn who Rey's parents are/were
= the movie sucks.
TFA was too much like ANH = the movie sucks.
TLJ wasn't enough like what we've seen before = the movie sucks.
etc. etc. The story was fine in my opinion. It was maybe different than I expected, but doesn't make it bad. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the next one. [Reply]
no idea if you can hyperspace that close of a distance. We've never seen something like that - but that obviously doesn't mean it can't be done. And I hear you on the FO not caring if the ties make it back... like I said, it's thin but it isn't implausible either. If you are of the opinion that victory is inevitable, someone like Hux, while acting annoyed, might prefer to let it play out slowly. No fun watching victory from way off in the distance when there is absolutely nothing to suggest that seeing it up close and personal poses any kind of risk.
Seriously?
Just hyperspace in another Star Destroyer.
I mean if the Millennium Falcon can jump out of light speed with enough accuracy to enter the atmosphere of a planet... [Reply]

All of these things are stupid, but if the whole movie wasn't predicated on something so stupid they felt if necessary to have Hux comment on how stupid it was I would have probably been more forgiving.
Fortunately, The Last Jedi now has the worst Audience Score of any Star Wars film ever on Rotten Tomatoes...

He also used The Force to summons the broom, which foreshadows a new Jedi Order.
Spoiler!
Did you notice at the end that Rey stole the entire set of Journal of the Whills and has them stored in a drawer on the Falcon?
I'm going to have to see it again. Watching it, in the moment, I liked it. Walking away from it, I was annoyed with it. I'm going to have to see it again and let it all sink in.
And by the way, don't think you see it in 3D (I only did it because it was the closest start time for me). It brings nothing special or "NEAT-O" to the experience. [Reply]

agree to disagree I guess. I'm not going to get into an argument about how realistic it would be to hyperspace within visible distance. We are talking about fantasy here. However, it's never been done before in any star wars movie, so without that to lean on, it's not unreasonable to believe it either can't be done or is done so uncommonly, and require such unusual skill, as to not warrant the risk, especially when it seems all you have to do is simply wait for the fleet to run out of steam.
