If we could cut 30 minutes from the movie we know where it would come from. Casino? Arms dealers? Who’s good and who’s bad? Cmon.
It was all worth it for 3 things.
Kylo Ren and Rey conecting through space in real time
Kylo Ren, Rey and Snoke faceoff.
Luke at the end. When he emerges after the blasting. Wow.
The 4th thing was the warp speed explosion sequence in silence, as mind blowing as it was, was simply flawed with the way it was a last minute idea.
I loved the flashback that included the hand of Luke on R2D2 that was in the original trailer to the Force Awakens.
With the way Lukes arc comes to a close, I was only told today that Obi Wan went the same way. Check out the old footage and see if you get what I mean.
I don’t buy the fact Rey doesn’t have Jedi lineage. We will see.
And please, multiple times the audience thought you had killed off Princess Leia. Just do it. The floating through space thing like Mary Poppins was so lame.
Cut the BS and this is a great film. But sadly the film is just an escape film. Will they or won’t they run out of fuel, when it could have been a lot darker. It felt like they were treading water and didn’t move the narrative along nearly enough.
And it has been said earlier that this could have easily be number IX.
See I mustn’t pay attention enough, or im too simple. I watched it with my two boys 8 and 10, found it entertaining, funny, kept my attention then It finished. By no means a classic but I’m not sure what else they could have done.
Same way I felt for the fifteen or so minutes between finding out that purple hair lady wasn’t actually a traitor and the time you find out none of that mattered anyway.
It was like “oh, so Poe was just a jerk… that sucks”
I would’ve had the reveal that she wasn’t crazy, and Code Cracker sold them out, happen one after the other.
