You can nitpick a thousand things just like that in the original trilogy. This movie was completely enjoyable in an original way no Star Wars movie has been since the 80s, and manages to pull off most everything in a believable manner. If you didn't like it, you hate fun. ![]()

It's not a bad film, nor is it unenjoyable, but it's also not a 93-percent-positively-rated film either.

I just thought of it as a false flag--she's continually waiting for a reveal that will never present itself because it's ultimately unimportant. Sometimes we look for significance in areas that aren't.

Luke is going to Gandalf the White it in Ep. 9 before sailing off to the Grey Haven Galaxy.
Count on it. |

We're not dealing with great cinema here. This isn't The Shawshank Redemption. The plot doesn't have to be airtight. You know how easy it is to sit here and poke holes in every Star Wars film? You might as well be saying "why didn't the Death Star just come out of hyperspace closer to Yavin IV?" or "why didn't the gunners take out the pod R2-D2 and C-3P0 were on, just to be safe?" That's what you're doing with TLJ.

Possibly. The idea of who or what they might be interests me, but it's not critically important, imo. That would have been a pretty deep way (for Star Wars, anyway) to show that the subject is a nothingburger.

That's actually what I thought was going to happen at the end. He was going to walk out there and make all the Walkers fall into each other like dominoes. Or destroy the thin salt flats beneath them, resulting in all of them falling underground.

Basically I saw that as The Force telling her that it's not important who her parents were. It's important who she is.
Which is really what The Force told Luke in ESB, anyway...from a certain point of view. ![]()

This movie wasn't even close to those piles of garbage. Jedi had R2-D2 zapping Salacious Crumb into the ceiling and saving C-3P0 from getting his eye ripped out...this movie had BB-8 piloting a ****ing AT-ST out of nowhere. ![]() Same kind of fun. Made me feel 12 again. Thank you Rian!
