I had a good time at the movie but didn't really care for it if that makes any sense. There are a ton of creative and exciting sequences but much of it fell flat for me. Its the 9th best Star Wars film in my opinion. --- Quote from: harveybirdman on December 23, 2017, 09:44:08 am ---...and just accepting that there is a map to a guy that doesn't want to be found and suddenly after 35 years doesn't care at all for his father's light sabre that his beloved mentor gave him, his father whom he watched lovingly burn in a pyre on Endor with the satisfaction that he had brought him back to the light. But Kylo was emo so he had to lose all faith and try to kill him... --- End quote --- This is my problem with the movie. The ruined the Luke character for me. Even my wife (who isn't a Star Wars nut like me) didn't understand the disparity between Luke's behavior in Jedi towards his father and then Kylo in the flashback. I get what they were trying to do it just didn't work for me. I understand Disney's desire to move away from the Skywalker clan but don't understand their hurry. They seem set to make a Star Wars movie every 12-18 months. They could have given us a satisfying Skywalker trilogy and then made a move away at that rate of production. The three original leads were never on screen together in the last two episodes and now we will never get the chance to see them reunited. |

I didn’t hate it, but I feel very underwhelmed. I would really liked for them to have flushed out more of Luke’s story with Kylo Ren. Why did he fall? How did Snoke could play into this? How was everything else going with the other Jedi that Luke was training? That would’ve gone a long way towards explaining Luke’s motivation to me. I’m cool with Emo Kylo Ren, I just want to know what happened to make him turn against his family the way he did. I don’t feel like they’ve adequately explained that yet. |

Oh, and count me in as part of the “I’m happy Rey was not Luke’s illegitimate daughter or she and Ben were separated at birth or some other nonsense like that” group. |

This is a trilogy? I thought they were just going to keep coming out with one every year indefinitely. |
