Nicely done. That actually looked good.

The green saber is a nice touch

The fight in Snoke's chamber was pretty badass. Well, up until they killed off Snoke anyway. Beyond that it was just shattered dreams, shattered dreams...
[Reply]

And isn't that the shit of it?

"Hey that fight scene was awesome....until they unceremoniously offed one of the few genuinely intriguing possibilities they'd developed to this point."

"But again, that ship crash scene was also pretty awesome...until you realize that they've just turned the ENTIRE star wars universe on its ear by making it possible for you to just hyperspace into pretty much anything and blow it the hell up."

Even the cool moments have some sort of twist or lack of internal logic that make THEM suck as a whole.

What a ridiculous piece of trash. And I'd imagine Clay is still trying to defend it.

There's a vid out there that points out how Daisey Ridley completely boffed the choreography of that scene. Still a cool scene, I guess. The look of the movie was freaking amazeballs, but everything else was poop.


More food for thought - how do laser blasts bend in space over greater distances?
[Reply]

Because it's super-charged/compact plasma and not a laser beam.
[Reply]

Still wouldn't bend in space unless there is a strong enough gravitational pull. The trajectory and momentum are kept in a vacuum.

Which reminds me... WHY THE FUCK WERE THERE SPACE BOMBERS DROPPING BOMBS IN ZERO G??? HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK???

edit: The stupidity of space bombers reminds me of the third act of the first GI JOE movie. They blow up an artic base or something AND THE FUCKING ICE STARTS TO SINK!

I heard someone way back saying "NO NO NO, they're magnetic bombs shot out magnetically!" Should have known it was going to hell in a handbasket when Poe started making mom jokes.

I watched this video where it was astutely pointed out that Jango Fett was blowing the piss out of an asteroid field with "smart" seismic charges 40+ years PRIOR to TLJ, yet the best the resistance can do is load 10 "rowboats"( what happened to the Y-Wings? they were older but clearly superior to the piece of shit bombers in TLJ ) with 200 "bombs" stolen from the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in an attempt to blow up a modern warship???

This movie was truly the dumbest and most horribly written thing in the entire franchise. I never thought 'Attack of the Clones' could be unseated for "Biggest Pile of Shit" in the SW Universe, but I'll be damned if Disney didn't succeed.

Expect physics to make sense in Star Wars is stupid.

It's not Star Trek.

The laws of physics bend in Star Wars to suit the storyline and what looks cool.

Shut the fuck up haters.

This nerd loved it all.

(except Rose)

If the physics were the only thing wrong, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Every SW fan came to grips with the science being "off" long before JJ, KK, and Rian ever DREAMED of destroying a perfectly good franchise, because the characters were great and the story classic.

You're missing the point(s) entirely.

You yourself, as a fan, have speculated the ONLY plausible outcome for this current mess, the only series of events that could tie everything together and make it work.

And you don't do this for a living. That alone should tell you something about how poorly this entire enterprise has unfolded.
[Reply]

I haven't speculated for shit. That's not even my theory.

I like TLJ and you crabapples are not ruining it for me.
[Reply]

:-)

Look, I'm on record as saying TLJ "in and of itself" is an ok to good movie. I just think it's a ten pound turd when thrown into the order of the Skywalker saga, that's all.

Not even hating on ya; to each their own.
[Reply]

Whether it was your theory or not, the point still stands.

In any event, I will respect your right to enjoy this funeral as you please.
