I am not a super fan, just thought this was poorly developed after a pretty decent (although a little too safe) episode VII. I’ll still eventually see episode IX, just not as excited for new Star Wars movies anymore.

I thought Hux was laughable in VII with the ridiculous overacting and all too easy Hitler comparison. I've always liked that the Star Wars franchise (III-VI) combined a dramatic storyline with lighthearted moments. I don't see that the trend has changed all that much. Expand Your argument is that the light-hearted moments were executed well. You're saying the tone was consistent with the rest of the series. That cracks me up. ? Honestly, I'm not hard to please and went into ep. VIII with no preconceived notions. That prank call scene made me cringe right away and the movie just got worse after that. It had it's moments, though. People like to get all high-and-mighty with their defence of ep. VIII, but just offer up weak straw man arguments. It ruins a good conversation.

If they were going for a "completely non-threatening bookwoom" look with the role, they nailed it. Maybe Fran Moff Tarkinton had that feel too back in the day, I don't know. At least with his age, he looked like he had actually been there before. 1

At least with his age, he looked like he had actually been there before. Expand Kylo is kind of the same way. Both have been like a mirror image of each other, the Empire and the Sith. Young guns who are still kind of boyish and certainly wet behind the ears, trying to take control. Neither is the all-around leader that Palpatine or Snoke were. They're each just one half of that leading figure. Kylo has always been a fake, wearing a mask he doesn't even need. Just trying to be like his uncle. There's still good in him. I'm pretty sure he'll turn to the light side or whatever they're calling the light side now....
TBBills Fan Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 the real question is, did the original Death Star have contractors on there, just trying to do a job and feed their family? And if so what is the implication! 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 uhhh Does RED = bad? Or a "teaser" making you think she went bad? This can't be the final chapter if she turns evil.

This can't be the final chapter if she turns evil. Expand Might be a vision/dream. Red does equal bad, but Rey represents the convergence of light and dark, the end of "Jedi" and "Sith", the grey. I think she kills Kylo and she makes a new light saber. For force users, making your own saber means you've reached the peak of your abilities. Some are speculating that there's a significant time jump in this film; 10-15 years. The other two series had time jumps, but this one hasn't yet. 1
