Mattris 416 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Reviews from the press leave me shocked. I remember hearing about reports of multiple versions of the film (with different endings) and wonder... Will a different version be shown for the wide release? If so, this would be the biggest deception and troll job of all time. Chen G. and Tydirium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaeon 593 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 So what about the Rey+Finn romance from TFA, does it make a resurgence here at all? Wedge Antilles is supposedly in this, does he do anything notable, or is noticeable at all? The Lando theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laserschwert 475 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Also Leia didn't really work in the movie at all. It was painfully obvious that they cut in single, generic out-of-context lines of her and spun a narrative out if it via the replies people have to that. Leia: It needs to be done. Reply: You are right, we need to do this and that. But I have so many doubts! Leia: Believe in yourself. Reply: You are right, I have trained enough, it'll work. Rey' s parents were totally retconned. "But I thought they were nobodies?" - "Actually they were Palpatine's son and daughter-in-law... But yeah."

Laserschwert 475 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't even want to defend the movie. It was okayish, but it just proved to me that modern film sensibilities aren't for me anymore. Ep7 was a nice nostalgia trip plus I loved Ford in it, but neither 8 or 9 would count as good movies to me. Stuff obviously needs to be epic, just for the fucks of it. Why 5 minutes of standard lightsaber fighting between Rey and Kylo? Because now it's epically taking place on the wreck of DS2. Why 10000 ISDs against 100000 other ships? Because 10 ISDs and 100 other ships (which would have been enough to make the point) wouldn't be epic enough. Kylo crashing his TIE like Indy the fridge in KOTCS? No problem, just step out of the burning wreck in an epic way. But not before Rey does an epic backflip over it. I'm getting too old for this shit. heidl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitam 364 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I enjoyed the movie just fine, despite the ridiculous moments ("You're Palpatine's granddaughter!" "Empress Palpatine!") and the occasionally cringy fan-service. Best things are the trio's interactions and the Rey/Kylo bond. 2 hours ago, Jost1 said: Adam Driver is the MVP of all three movies, he nails it ^ Indeed.

Not just because of the ridiculousness of the protagonist kissing a mass murdering psychopath who murdered his own father right in front of her, but because it summed up this whole Disney trilogy in one action.
