The only reason I haven’t complained about it was that it was so early I forgot it even happened, because much like the rest of the first half of the film nothing mattered.

What’s the problem with the casino in TLJ cuz I thought I’d pick up on issues with it when I rewatched the movie but that shit is 10 minutes tops and it’s got some cool aliens and a bunch of rich people get fucked up seemed pretty good to me
The plush stuff in Solo did look better though that is true

cgi no longer impresses me, so big monsters crashing through the wall is boring. have someone in a big rubber suit smash through the wall instead. needs more actual detritus

The force healing is “set up” in the Mandalorian on Wednesday and then again with an alien in TROS before it’s ultimately used for big plot beats. It’s not that it’s too out there for a force power - it’s introduced in the way new Force Verbings must be according to armchair screenwriters. It’s more interesting imo when the powers manifest under duress.
If Rey was going to be exchanging her Essence to heal others she shoulda gotten streaks of white in her hair whenever she used it because that would have actually introduced some tension into the whole thing and, most importantly, allowed them to sell even more action figure variants.
This is such an obvious idea that I have to think it was shot down because JJ Abrams is some kind of sex pest who didn’t wanna see a pretty gal aging in any way.
I’m allowed to say this because Elon Musk won that lawsuit.

Going by my personal experience people don’t complain about lightspeed skipping because it’s very early in the movie, so while it happens I’m/they’re internally screaming all sorts of things about how you can’t skip like that or for that matter that you can’t start/stop a hyperspace jump so close to a planet or other body (this was, you may remember, a rather central plot point in episode 7) and only an insane veteran badass like Han would even attempt one so it’s really stupid Poe and a bunch of generic evil pilots are doing it, but once it’s happened you forget about it because there are even more stupid things that happen that take over.

I am so relieved that this entire saga has been reframed around Palatine’s cock.

You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Boffa?

So glad the internet didn’t exist in the 80s, otherwise the primary meme associated with star wars would def be Vader fucks
Besides, Palpatine has more sex appeal than Anakin in the prequels, people freaking out about him doing it are honestly disrespecting Ian McDiarmid

Note that this isn’t outrage that Palpatine fucks. This is disappointment that the world can only be structured around the virile phalluses of powerful men.
I really hate this movie.

I just think this is a really weird way to think of parenthood I guess
I mean, put that way, what I’m saying is maybe not entirely fair and grosser than necessary. But I’m really bothered that Rey was given this lineage. It’s a real cruddy retcon that recontextualizes Rey’s while involvement in the story
Just realized that the only reason the Resistance know about the unimaginably massive sith armada, and how to strike them such that they would all be unshielded and vulnerable before they went on the warpath, was due to General Hux?? That fascistic psychopath that blew up six planets in TFA?
In short, I guess the entire galaxy owes its lives to General Hux, the true hero of the Resistance??

I feel very strongly that this movie is an insult to life itself

Yeah but he’s doing it because he hates kylo ren so much and that’s my favorite single thing in the whole damn movie.
Huxlo is real. Huxlo is life.
