Even Hamill didnt like where TLJ took his character, I'd say his thoughts count for something
Also, I dont give two shits about these new characters, to kill off the only guy left to care about was dumb, Dumb, DUMB... and who gives a rip about some token ghost appearance in #3? This. whole. damn. thing. should've centered around Luke freaking Skywalker... ok fine kill Solo, its what Ford wanted since the early 80s, but you dont kill off the franchise player, in favor of 'Rey and Finn' They can both die in the first 2 minutes of the next one, and literally no one will care |

And lets be honest, 'action hero' in this story can mean many different things... bottom line is the story could've easily been crafted around Hamill Let Rey and Finn do the young hero stuff sure, but dont give me 30 seconds of Skywalker in the first one, then kill him in the second one after spending the whole movie making him some reticent - no action - asshole and expect me to give a shit about noob characters like Rey and Finn The whole thing has been jacked up, they'll be lucky if I even rent the next piece of shit |

You're barking up the wrong tree. We already got a trilogy about Luke Skywalker. He was never intended to be the main focus here. Nor should he have been. Go read the cartoonish bullshit EU stories if you want that. |

That Luke ended up jaded and mistrustful of force-wielding was brilliant, not to mention a perfect mirror to the lives of so many fans who grew up with brash, bratty, idealistic young Luke.
Perfect. Synchronicity.

And yes, I was also disappointed when it was revealed that Luke was a projection. Made him much less badass and kind of ruined the scene. Also, on that subject, the timing of dice trinket desolving into nothingness WELL AFTER Luke had already died. Come on man!

Also... how were the golden dice in solid material form in Leia's hands while Luke was an incorporeal projection?

Nah. I'm just hoping that they stop making bland, pointless movies. And I'm hoping that they can tell stories that are worthy of this rich universe that has been built up over decades. And it would be nice to see engaging characters perform meaningful actions. Go ahead and continue eating whatever plates of steaming bullshit Disney decides to serve. They had a tremendous amount of credit built up and they spent it stupidly by giving us a rehash and then a poor movie. I won't go to the theater to see the next episode. If someone I trust recommends the Han Solo movie to me then I might go see that. And that's exactly what Disney deserves now. **** 'em. |

Heres another stupid aspect of this new series... Kylo Ren is the son of epically strong force lineage, he has been in training with the dark side for years, and in TFA is powerful enough to stop a laser shot in mid-air
Yet Finn, with absolutely no training, is able to hang with him for a while in a light saber duel... and not only that, but Rey, again someone with absolutely no training, is able to wound him and fight him to a draw in the TLJ Its just dumb man, the whole new thing is just poorly thought out garbage... sure the kids gobble it up, but that doesnt make it any good |
