Luke was a bad as kid in ANH, not afraid to face Darth Vader. And in both the subsequent films her does face him lots. He is still in his early 20s at that point. So why would a writer completely ignore this guy and instead create a kid that is scared of failure, a kid that fears everything. A kid in a 50 year old man.
To me it was like the director had 1 kid (ben) and wanted a second kid to go against the kid so they made Luke into a child.
There were a lot of good scenes and was funny. I really enjoyed Chewie and the porgs. When he collect up one and couldn't eat it lol
Tho I think the porgs are Star Wars version of the trebbles from Star Trek.

Lets just get back to the Last Jedi then.
Yeah Rey and Poe should be a thing, because she totally Friendzoned Kylo and since Finn now has his on girl.

Ray Park wanted to get a solo Darth Maul film, maybe that's his chance. Only that it'll be slightly different to what he probably imagined. At last, we will reveal our sexuality to the galaxy. At last, we will have love. Fur. Fur attracts the fur-lovers. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fur. Fur is my soft spot.

« on: January 02, 2018, 01:12:37 PM »And as to your earlier comment, i didn't arbitrarily pick plot points on Mary Sue Rey, never been off Jakku since borderline infancy/VERY early childhood, somehow speaks Wookie Jakku has a broad demographic; I get the impression being multilingual is quite common in the Star Wars galaxy (but Luke seemed to grow up in a more Human-dominated part of Tatooine), can fix the Falcon before Han She undid something her boss/owner added/changed, can FLY the Falcon all by herself when she's never even FLOWN before Just because it's not shown or stated outright doesn't mean she hasn't; we only had Luke's word that he'd flown before too, annihilates Ren by just sort of 'hmm Imma focus now on force stuff' therefore win I chalk this up to it being called "The Force Awakens", does a perfect mind trick with zero training Ditto, and for all your talk of Ren being on another level in this film it's not even remotely close to the truth the fact she has some basic self taught staff training and about a week with Luke and she's disarming the most powerful jedi Master in the galaxy I'm still going on my single watch here, but I was under the impression Luke disarmed her multiple times during their sparring until she summoned and lit the lightsaber?, ninja turtling Red guards and her 'struggles' are usually about 30 seconds of mild frustration followed by just getting it. A lot of which harks back to her upbringing on Jakku and unconventional rough and tumble moves rather than necessarily power or skill.
You have characters who routinely contradict the very establishment and development they went through in prior films like Luke contemplating murdering his sleeping nephew over something he hadn't even done, then running away to a nearly 20 odd year pity party without trying to fix anything I don't figure it being half that long (10 years at most?) and that seems to be a common trait for Jedi Masters anyway - Yoda after failing to defeat Palpatine, Obi-Wan after destroying (or so he thought) Anakin
leia NOT trying to find Luke in the Force in spite of their bond Who says she didn't? Luke cut himself off from the Force, Remember?, nor trying to bring her son back, Luke contemplating murder for possible darkside when he went through hell to try and redeem his dad because he sensed a little good Covered this one already, Han ditching Leia for nearly 20 years and Chewie being absolutely cool with it Again, I don't get the sense that it was nearly this long. Also that sort of thing doesn't seem a terribly unreasonable reaction, and is even consistent with how Han reacted after Chewie and Anakin's deaths in the old EU. Then you have build up with zero pay off, Snoke has no real point to the film for what he contributes plot wise He's the big bad boss who manipulates everything? What more do you need?, The First Order can bombard things from Space...but needs a laser battering ram They'd lost their super bombardment Dreadnought already, and the Rebel base on Crait had a shield like Hoth[color]Added a few notes to the above quotes with my take on those things.
With Leia, actually have her die when she's blown out to space, this could have had so much impact on Kylo's character development and world view. his guilt, his being forced into this position all leading to his decision that he needs to double down and go deeper by ultimately usurping Snoke.
Have Kylo blame Snoke for his mother's death, and remind Snoke of his own philosophy of killing the past to make the future tht HE is part of the past now too before betraying him with Rey.I actually thought Kylo got plenty of development with regards his parents. After TFA where he killed his father in an attempt to settle the conflict inside him and turn fully to the Dark Side (Vader his idol, and wanting to please Snoke, his master), Kylo actually just finds himself more conflicted than ever. When he senses his mother on the bridge of the Raddus he pauses, as if willing himself to pull the trigger. And then, when he consciously chooses to not kill her, his wingmen fire and destroy the bridge. As far as I can recall there's no moment later in the film where he learns that she's not dead, and maybe that moment (when he sees her supposed-death) plays into his decision to betray Snoke later on (if having decided not to kill her, he blames Snoke for her subsequent death).
EDIT:
Still a better love story than TwilightWhich one? Rey/Kylo, Rey/Poe, or Finn/Rose? The latter is most definitely worse than Twilight!

I’m on the ship of Poe and Finn all the way, Luke’s force ghost X Han’s ashes, and Kylo X the Dark Side.
