Although i'd rather him just keep his own helmet as i think it's badass. I think the ultimate goal is in episode 9 kylo's transformation to the dark side and turning more into vader will be complete. Even thru this whole movie he was way more aggressive and nasty, Force choking and pulling people like vader. Snapping and putting his foot down that he was in charge. Very Vader.
Not saying what i thought would be badass should be done just my own "would have been epic" moment in my head.. lol
Vader's helmet is all jacked up too though. I think snoke just embarrassed him into not wearing helmets all together [Reply]

i think he smashed his helmet cause snoke basically called him a failure and that he would never be vader. So he got pissed and smashed it. But then you can see him change. Becoming more comfortable with who and what he is by the end of the movie. Bet he's back in a helmet for episode 9. [Reply]
Also - the fight scenes just seem un inspired.. I mean I don’t need John wick level destruction but it seemed so by the numbers and like a practice session. The parts I loved about all’s attest films were the one on one connections, where thy zeroed in on all conflict and made you side with a character - all those moments were heavily over shadowed by another big resistance battle scene - just like force awakens and rogue.. I wanted a different take while keeping the struggle weave into the storyline but maybe I’m askin for too much.
Was there a bigger waste of a character than phasma? [Reply]
Is it that hard to believe that Yoda could produce a single crack of lightning through the living force, which he is now a PART of?
Come on. It was fun. Relax and enjoy how fun Yoda was in that scene.
IT WAS FUN DANE!!! IT'S STAR WARS! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE 100% COMPLETE SENSE.
HAVE FUN!!!!
This was my point when I argued with Dane over the Force Awakens. I’ve always considered these turn your mind off fun. Just didn’t enjoy most of this one. Mostly the resistance parts though. Glad some enjoyed it.
I think Gareth Edwards should get the keys to the trilogy. I just think he gets it more. I think Johnson had been a good director. but I just didn’t like his work here. Part of the blame might be just throwing him in the middle. I’m hoping I’ll like a second viewing more but I’m not rushing to do that, and it maybe video before I do.

isnt that true with almost all movies? Superheroes, Action movies, Sci-Fi etc. you must just accept plot line holes, suspend believability, plot twists that make no sense. That's just going to the movies in 2017. [Reply]

We'll have to agree to disagree here, Broheim.
Rogue One, as far as complete film making goes, is the best film in the Star Wars Galaxy.
Impeccable casting, direction, set design, story, VFX, battles, score (yes, the best score since The Phantom Menace, which IMO is William's best work) and third act.
The third act in Rogue One was unbelievably awesome. The last five minutes were absolutely epic.
Episode VIII just didn't know when to end, kind of like Revenge of the Sith. [Reply]
