And that's the part that makes the whole resistance plot pay off, but on third viewing, it was only that part that interested me. :)

I needed a few days to process this movie but afterward, I came to the conclusion that I liked it, although it was way too long and had too many things going on. But them doing something new is really refreshing.

I really can't understand the people who are so upset with this movie.

I'm in fact currently reading some EU-books again, the ones that play in a similar timeframe as these new movies and I asked myself what I enjoy more. And I like the answer that I found: That both exist. It's so much fun to have both.

Both have their weaknesses and strengths but ultimately I like that the new movies are so different. Although, having two Ben's is a bit weird :lol

Going back to the movie, the MVP for me was the Yoda-scene. It was so good.

I hear many people talking about the fighting scene in Snoke's throne room but I gotta admit, at that point, I was already too exhausted to really process what was going on. I'm really looking forward to seeing it again at home.

As good as that was, Rebels doing something very similar kinda took the wow-factor out of this for me. Seen it before. On a smaller scale with a smaller budget but still. Not gonna lie though, the general lady was awesome. Totally loved that character.

@Topic: Was I the only one who was massively disappointed that the racing track on that resort for the rich people wasn't used for pod racing? I feel like that would've been a super neat way to throw fans of the prequels a bone.

I mean the little slave children are incredibly important for the message of the movie but couldn't they also just have been used as labor forces for the racing equipment and machinery? I don't know, maybe the Anakin Skywalker-analogy would've been too strong, not that there would be one but people probably would make that comparison themselves.

so a friend of mine shared this and i found it to be quite ironic. So if anyone can't see it clearly or it doesn't pop-up, it's concept art of Rose, and Rian Johnson stated that for Canto Bight/casino planet, originally Finn was gonna have Poe join him but Rian Johnson thought it was boring and wanted Finn to be accompanied by somebody that would challenge, push, and contrast with him, hence Rose was created for that. What I found ironic is that he thought Poe and Finn doing the Canto Bight visit was boring and the irony being is that the end result with Rose and Finn visiting Canto Bight was that it was also boring.

They also had Lando as the code breaker in early scripts but I'm glad they changed that.

I agree with you though, the Canto Bight trip wasn't the best part of the film for sure.

I don't care what anybody said. I consider most of this video to be canon. :D

Well that’s inciteful.

Is that a spelling error on “insightful” or a pun? You make the call!

Well, Episode IX has started filming. I wish I could say I was excited.

And that, friends, is why Leia flying through space and surviving was absolutely dumb.

It amazes me how many people have such a problem with that scene when the force has been responsible for far, far, dumber shit than a personal barrier to keeps someone safe in space for like 40 seconds.
