TLJ hit Netflix, so I'm rewatching it. This movie is a steaming pile of shit. It just seems to strike all the wrong notes for me, for some reason. Every attempt to pull at my heart strings or strike nostalgia or create awe or get me emotional just fall flat on their face and become almost like a parody.
Maybe it's just my mood right now, but it just feels so.. off.

You could have easily used CGI to make a badass force fight scene for Luke that doesn't involve him moving around all that much.

Nothing meant anything. Every plot was a cul de sac. Every build up of suspense was subsequently punctured and fizzled off into space like tired balloon. There was just enough visual spectacle to qualify as a diversion if you put no thought into it. But if you thought about it at all, it seemed to be explicitly challenging you 'Why are you enjoying this? What's the point?'

they just couldn't get out of their own way writing this movie.

I'm glad it's on Netflix. I can watch a bit of the Luke parts at least. The best scene in the movie is where Chewie busts down the door and starts cursing him out.
Chewbacca is pretty much the only character that they didn't ruin to some degree. Wish they had Wookie subtitles. |

If 9 starts with Kylo finishing off Leia and hunting Rey - even with Rey's arm being lopped off for good effect (we need to be afraid of Kylo). - with Luke Skywalker the White coming in to save her. Luke proceeds to teach her Lesson #3 and guide her through mastering the force. This is where I concede that Finn and Rose's conclusion was the worst part of TLJ. Because, while I'm excited about this - wtf are those two going to do while we follow the plotlines we actually care about? (Rey Poe, Kylo). Anywho, the pieces are there to stick the landing - and in a way that empowers Rey (theforceisfemale!) and allows Luke to get the resolution that pleases the fanbase. |

The article that stated KK not only didn't understand Star Wars but didn't even like it is just so freaking accurate. |
