[@TCReyes]

A buddy of mine saw Kylo Ren take his shirt off in the shower, and he said that Kylo Ren has an eight pack. That Kylo Ren was shredded.

[@bradwalsh9227]

Trey Kylo is absolutely amazing in this film. I liked him in TFA, but he steals this movie GO SEE IT

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

Trey love that snl reference lmao

[@alexpollock6932]

I found Kylo Rens lightsaber isn’t it awesome

[@ShonuffDaMasta]

He was a Marine soooo.....

[@Jaklas1979]

Vader said it all in ANH "The power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force"

[@shack8110]

brilliant point by bobby to say the theme is the new owners of star wars saying to everyone that "hey, anything can happen, it's not all going to go the way you expect".

[@trencher7]

Exactly. It's a nice way of saying "Oh you were expecting something good ? Nope!" The problem is anything did happen and the writers chose the lamest scenes. We get animal activism and the evils of rich people instead of learning about the Knights of Ren. Huge wasted opportunity this movie was.

[@nacole182]

I still don't understand why this wasn't perfectly clear to fans after seeing TLJ. RJ as the director couldn't have made it any clearer....well maybe he could have. It was spelled out for us 1st by Kylo Ren when he reaches out his hand out palm up....very important that the hand was palm up.....to Rey and says forget the past, the Jedi, the 1st order etc......let's start a new etc. Why the hand being palm up is important is that had it been palm down it means bow down to me......palm up means come along with me Kylo even says that. Luke Skywalker brings it all home by saying this is not going to go the way you think. If RJ would have had someone use a Jedi mind trick on saying.....this is not the Star Wars you are looking for would that have been clearer? Yes but that would negate leaving the past in the past and moving on.

[@yaboytroy357]

“Hey Bobby, do you want to stick around for like 5 minutes to film your spoiler review?” “Sure” *Spoiler video is 44 minutes long*

[@masterbearjedi3432]

I haven’t seen anyone mention this anywhere but I find it very relevant. The stuff on Canto Bight for me really was about Poe. Leia spends the whole movie trying to teach Poe how to lead instead of just being a hero. The entire Canto Bight mission was Poe’s idea and it absolutely failed in every way. He has that moment where he thinks Finn and Rose didn’t make it and he literally loses hope at that point because in his hotshot mind there was no other plan besides his that could possibly be in play. So after failing twice, the 3rd time is the charm for him on Crait where he realizes the need to retreat and find another way. Without the failure of the dreadnaught asssilt and the failure of the Canto Bight mission, I don’t think Poe makes that call on Crait.

[@CouchCit]

That was a a good explanation for bad storytelling.

[@masterbearjedi3432]

ravenusa531 USA Leia chastises Poe one time before the Canto Bight mission. They have one conversation about it.

[@Yoda-wf6bu]

It def had an importance for Poe's character. Absolutely right. Tho Canto bight was arguably more important for Finn's arc. There he meet DJ who symbolizes the devil on Finn's shoulder that tries to teach him to live a selfish lifestyle, and there's Rose who's the angel and wants him to fight for the light.

[@masterbearjedi3432]

@@Yoda-wf6bu I agree it had a huge impact on Finn as well, I just think it had a really strong impact on Poe as well. I think it’s such a well done piece of storytelling because it is the catalyst to developing two different characters. Pretty dope in my opinion.

[@masterbearjedi3432]

She was in a coma after that so there wasn’t a whole lot of time for her to chastise him over his Canto Bight call🤷🏿‍♂️

[@richardlogan850]

DJ stands for don't join. Some Easter eggs show the reveal. I wasn't a fan of the stutter at first, but after finding out his stutter comes from him being electrocuted constantly of being a slicer makes total sense.

[@xavieraristide1217]

Richard Logan he does have a quote where he says Dont Join. I buy it wow

[@j.j.q1379]

Richard Logan were did you find this? I would love to read that

[@DepecheMol]

How does that make sense? It sounds like something out of a cartoon. I thought stuttering is mostly a psychological condition

[@BrandonGiordano]

A character with wasted potential

[@gazzypops1]

Ah, I thought it stood for "dumb journey". Because it really was.

[@henryrpage]

DJ stands for "don't join". Not only did DJ day that line in the film, but his Funko Pop figure says "don't join" as well. It's kind of his personal motto.

[@andrewdeen1]

his hat says it too, in star wars characters

[@MEGAMOVIELORD]

Doesn't Han say to Luke on the Falcon "Hokie religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster by your side."

[@gdavis]

yeah and luke proves this wrong

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

+Gary Davis I think he was pointing out a moment when the word religion was applied to the Jedi and the force.

[@jaysauce13]

Gary Davis and the Jedi Order were slaughtered Clones with blasters.

[@Latham74]

DJ was a great great character. He subverted the "scoundrel with a heart of gold" trope, and was a truly amoral character. He didn't hate anyone, had zero emotional investment in either side.

[@PaulusAlone]

Latham99 - Uhuh ~ Yeah! The perfect amoral character for the entitled millennial target audience to sympathise with, you mean? Moral relativism is cancer to Star Wars because Star Wars IS built on mythology and fairytale! It's those good versus bad decisions that give it the dynamism and make it ageless and timeless. Rian Johnson is writing nihilism and doesn't understand the genre one bit!

[@tjisaiha]

Bobby-"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fort…" ―Motti, before being Force choked by Darth Vader

[@gdelan1]

Was I the only person who was expecting that the person Maz was sending them to find was Lando?

[@askbam]

Thanks for posting this guy. Loved the conversations so much.

[@cloverraven]

This is a fantastic video. With fantastic people. And I thank you so much

[@IkeThe9th]

Bobby's right. How cool would it have been if Maz recommended a old man but two timing, backstabbing, no good swindler named Lando?

[@redandwolf3149]

When that scene came up, i turned to my girlfriend and said "its LANDO" sad sad sad when it wasnt

[@omnimetabell]

This panel discussion is essentially “fuck your fan theories" and then let’s make a whole bunch of fans theories.

[@luisricardo13]

that's one thing i liked about the movie. it was basically 'stop your stupid fan theories, get a life and enjoy these movies for what they are'. they've wiped the slate clean for episode IX. what will happen will be anyone's guess. it will be so much more surprising because it can go anywhere. I hope it has a similar marketing campaign to TLJ where none of the major plot points were given away . Watching TLJ was the first truly surprising SW experience i've had in years.

[@malign8755]

Because they have nothing to talk about so they gotta come up with stuff😂. We walked in not knowing shit and walked out not knowing shit.

[@countzero7]

Broom kid is lead in new disney tv show to replace rebles :)

[@AlexLove631]

Bobby talking about Carrie gave me life. What a fucking lovely man. Lol I'd love to have him as a regular if he wasn't so busy

[@lady8jane]

I actually teared up at that part. What a wonderful story.

[@bocrumble5805]

"first time they said religion"? I guess Han talkin' bout "hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." didn't happen?

[@jaysauce13]

Bo Crumble plus a general said it to Vader before he got choked like a biotch in ANH

[@Griff-242]

Tarkin

[@LordSesshaku]

Beware with the broom kid. People are gonna start making crazy theories again, but the movie seemed to show him just as symbol of things to come, of hope rekindled, new generation rising. It wouldn't be surprising if we never see him again, or he ends up being just a background character. Movies aren't fanfic or enciclopedias, the focus of a movie is the story, and the themes it wants to transmit.

[@foxdoe7540]

the focus of this movie was greed not story.

[@LordSesshaku]

Star Wars always was a commercial franchise, that being said, the fact that so many "hard fans" are pissed off like children who don't get candy shows you, greed was not the focus of this movie.

[@foxdoe7540]

LordSesshaku no, origininaly it was a movie for the family... nothing about greed, that came in later, and making a buck off of something you made isnt greedy, selling its soul and heart for a quick buck is.

[@LordSesshaku]

Sure pal.

[@brianalawless749]

I think it shows that anyone can be force sensitive like rey showing that her parentage isn't that important and also a symbol for new hope and more jedi to come with a new way of teaching I don't think we will ever see him again just a nice detail Rian Johnson put in

[@erikabornman8311]

Lmao people still thinking that Kylo and Rey could be siblings. I can't.

[@Atlantis3773]

After reading the comments from "fans", I think JJ is better off doing the same thing he did with Force Awakens. Just rehash Return of the Jedi and just for good measure make Rey's horrible dad end up being boba fett. Then start with the first order being in a state of civil war with military leaders not following Kylo and that a new leader, named Thrawn, has taken over and is building a massive new weapon. This way everyone can predict everything and be able to comment online about how awesome they are for having known the movie's main plot all along!!!

[@MUGENTheHuman]

Atlantis3773 This comment needs to pinned at the top. Thank you for this.

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

It is clear you didn't actually read any comment, you are just venting for the sake of it, no one is saying they want everything to go the way they want, we just want something instead of literal nothing. There is a relationship between Star Wars and the fans, they acknowledge that fans of Star Wars has thought of, theorised and discussed huge amounts of lore and speculation and thus have alot of expectations, but instead of upping us with more intriguing lore, they've decided to tell us all we did is literally for nothing, Snoke is nothing, Rei is nobody. All the canon that is set up in the expanded universe felt like nothing but a marketing ploy to drive hype and push us to watch movies, which then tells us that everything we cared for is nothing, the expanded canon and lore does nothing for the movies, no pay off and everything old is cast aside.

[@frankiecedeno3724]

Lol, only idiots believe that, but Chekov’s Gun is still a thing...

[@thatblondboy007]

You pathetic little life form😂😂 The Last Jedi was simply terribly written, and did a disservice to Star Wars as a whole. Johnson is so utterly untalented he deadass copied entire lines of dialogue for his garbage little abomination.

[@jameslambert7038]

Never heard of Bobby Moynihan before but, have to say, what a lovely chap, Really enjoyed his thoughts/ stories. Thank you, and Merry Christmas from England.

[@omnimetabell]

Han: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

[@omnimetabell]

BR0TH0RITY absolutely right!

[@Reillycomics]

Mace Windu was gonna Murder Palpatine. Anakin begged him not to, even told him "that's not the Jedi way" Obi- Wan begged Yoda not to have to fight Anakin. The Jedi created Vader. Oh wait a minute that's what happened to Kylo. Lol

[@RyanNilsen]

exactly

[@ElNingyou]

Holdo’s sacrifice should have been Leia’s. That amazing moment was wasted on Holdo, who we just met, and Holdo’s conflict with Poe was wasted by her death. It would have amazing if Leia went out saving all of what remained of the Resistance and left Poe and Holdo to have to work together moving forward.

[@eXdXgXe4life]

ElNingyou holdo was a waste... Replace her entire charecter with Akbar and you make the movie 69% better.

[@MK-oz2lf]

Then there would not have be the Luke and Leia reunion later on Craite. That's cold, kid lol

[@MK-oz2lf]

eXdXgXe4life - war is unfair as real life shows us. P.S. how did you come up with 69% specifically or was that a Freudian slip?...... lol

[@jonathanmora8208]

ElNingyou but holdo was beautiful

[@jaymem5456]

One of my favorite discussions of the movie. Love Bobby and his fresh viewpoints! Great job Team!

[@trinity6302]

I was so upset with the death of Admiral Akhbar

[@arturobenavides6142]

The problem with what they did with Snoke and Rey's parents is that J.J Abrams in the Force Awakens built them up to be very important. Why else would they show that flashback of Rey as a kid. And Snoke was built up as to be more powerful then Vader and the Emperor! and they kill him off like hes nothing.... I am starting to think Ryan Johnson decided to ignore much of The Force Awakens and decided to do his own thing.

[@TylerV87]

Arturo Benavides Which is a really lame thing to do on Johnson’s part. This is a trilogy, not a stand alone film!

[@humblebugg5270]

Arturo Benavides thats fucking obvious. He must be banging kathleen Kennedy. Thats the only explanation for the freedom hes gotten compared to everyone else

[@marikotrue3488]

I really enjoyed this panel. Thank you Collider.

[@justinderoche519]

Way to go, Bobby! Great perspective on this amazing film.

[@KaylaMarie_]

I agree woth Bobby about Leia using the force. It was so beautiful. And his point about Anakin wanting to bring back life is so poinant. It really hints at the level of power Leia could have had had she chosen a Jedi life. If her force powers had been used the way Kristian said, with her using it to move rubble, it would have been generic as hell. And it's already done with Luke in the very same movie.

[@Tom-bn6pr]

I agree the idea was right, just the superman shot ruined it for me. I think if Leia released a beacon of light or something like that to alert Poe, Finn and co it would've been perfect

[@KaylaMarie_]

sean bowman I have. I was referring to cannon.

[@KaylaMarie_]

sean bowman oh im sorry. I didnt realize you wanted to argue.

[@DuhAverageJoe]

clariola 😂😂😂

[@Ty-bh1yo]

Can you guys discuss the knights of ren? it is explained they are students from Luke's failed academy, so theres 6+ advanced force users roaming the galaxy with no other mention or appearance. They seem to be a pretty important part of Kylo, especially with Snoke gone now, why aren't they ever utilized by Kylo?

[@samanthabree1246]

Tyler Murtha See Episode 9

[@whogg0521]

This was awesome!

[@TheMaxweldon]

Been avoiding you guys for months.time to catch up now I've seen the movie. Really enjoyed ur guest this week.

[@1RacerXer]

I completely agree with Bobby. I don't want every single little tiny mystery explained and every question answered!!!!

[@FJAR1635]

DJ stands for “Don’t Join”. This goes back to his speech with Finn, “Live free. Don’t join”.

[@AaronMosmeyer]

I don’t think Leia brought herself back to life, I think she simply shielded herself with the force. You can see space debris floating around her as though there’s some Forcefield protecting her. Also, Benecio DelToro’s character is named DJ. It stands for “don’t join,” which is what he tells Finn (and is also written on his hat in Aurebesh).

[@bigtip8371]

Aaron have to see that scene with Leia more closely...like all the other poignent scenes, it was edited too damn quickly!! This movies NEEDS to be seen more than once

[@dzre2087]

IS THAT HOW FINN / ROSE, and POE ALSO SURVIVED IMPOSSIBLE EXPLOSIONS (that would've killed them, or, at best, scorched their clothes and faces / hair)? THE FORCE? Or could it be Rian used so many CLICHES because he's a LAZY filmmaker?

[@RaikenXion]

Yes this was revealed in rumors leaked from that figure before the movie release, he actually tells us all his name, well to Finn, he says "Live Free... Don't Join." But the Leia idea is intruiging

[@chirazi]

doesnt matter how she did it. it was bullshit and it looked like crap

[@alalalala57]

The entire Star Wars franchise is lazy then.

[@magnusmeling2370]

Tarkin mentions the Jedi Order as a religion in the original Star Wars... you call this a Jedi Council?

[@ryanking6727]

Hold on, what ended up being the new hue of lightsaber that we were told we would see in Episode 8???

[@frankuzzolina5525]

Ryan King Green, the people doing that article/interview were retarded

[@gokinsmen]

Before he was fired, Trevorrow said that he was working on Rey's parentage/backstory for Ep9. Why would he say that unless there was more to reveal? Whether or not she turns out to be related to anyone we know, the question is still open-ended.

[@davidmayberry3190]

gokinsmen no it's not, because he posted over "creative differences" meaning he probably hated everything they decided in this movie, but Disney backed Johnson's decisions.

[@luisricardo13]

I seriously don't get why rey's parentage is so important. I thought maz kanata had put an end to it when she told rey to focus on what's ahead and stop looking for who she is in her past. basically telling her: forget about it. it's not important. the same was repeated in this movie and still fans go on and on about it.

[@davidmayberry3190]

Ricardo Silva It's a big deal because both movies make it a big deal, they ask the question repeatedly. I can almost guarantee that JJ Abrams had completely different ideas about her parentage but they were abandoned in favor of her parents being "nobody's" just so they could have broom boy at the end and explain how in the future they can make a million more movies with new force users who aren't Jedi, it's all about the next trilogy, and the next paycheck. If they had just brought up the question once and then not again ok we probably could handle it, or if they had answered the question quickly, but they purposely let it hang out there as a Abrams "mystery box" for fans to endlessly debate, and then re-asked the question over and over throughout TLJ only to have a completely anticlimactic answer, that's why people are disappointed. Plus you mention Maz? How about a few other scenes with Maz like when she says "I've seen these eyes before" hinting that she has the same eyes as one of her parents. And why did the Skywalker family light saber call to her? Why did she have a whole vision when she touched it? Even the light saber was given an unceremonious death in TLJ.

[@luisricardo13]

I think Maz says" I see your eyes. you already know the truth. the belonging you seek is not behind you..." (i had to go check) lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7VqGmibr6ceJI

[@davidmayberry3190]

Ricardo Silva Now that you mention it I believe that she may have said I've seen these eyes before to Finn. I still stand by everything else that I said though.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Nice review! Balanced. Enjoyed watching it! ☺

[@ironman20ful]

Guys and girl. Thanks. I have been reading so much negatif feedback from the internet about a movie i love, and it was such a joy to hear from some well informed fans how much they loved it. Shared this video with all my friends beceause i love it. Thanks

[@bigollytg]

I really liked the way Luke came at the end. Not as himself But the legend people thought he was. He projected the myth version himself The one that can face armies. It calls back to the start where he says "what did you think I was going to take on the 1st order on my own with a laser sword." He learns the old ways are unnecessary, But he can make way for the new hope. He stares out in the vision of twin suns as he did when he dreamed. And he felt that dream again as he died I thought it was a really well done ending for luke.

[@elyhim]

Everything Luke does is to taunt Kylo and goad him into confronting him. Luke exits the force projection hurt but rights himself and seems to heal but passes anyway leaves me thinking - he's ready for the next horizon. I thought it was beautiful and although the Luke fan in me wanted to see him be the legend and crumple star destroyers, I completely get the story. I get the failure, as an old person now having grown up with Luke staring at horizons I choked up when I realized I can now identify with Luke even more. Passing is normal and we're prepared. We hope for our children to surpass us, teach them about our strengths, success and failures.

[@CouchCit]

Olly George I wanna know what Luke's backup plan was had that scene not played out as he intended, especially since he did such a poor job conjuring up his force-hologram thingy (he gave himself the lightsaber that Rey and Kylo just broke, his footsteps didn't create dust clouds, he made himself look a lot younger). I mean honestly, I don't even see why the FO decided to just stop in their tracks instead of continuing the march towards the base. But whatever, it's insane to even speculate on this foolishness.

[@jack_meoff69]

The Fandom hypes things up themselves and expects the movie the answer it lmao.

[@lazedout8755]

PEGASUS MASTER in the marketing they built these things up as well

[@jack_meoff69]

LAZEDOUT im sorry i dont remember the marketing hyping up the identity of snoke or who he's supposed to be

[@allancarter]

PEGASUS MASTER also you do realize that the marketing team and the people who make the movie are different? Plus I don't think the marketing ever put any emphasis on snooker or reys parents. That was all us fans. Maz told rey in tfa that she already knew the true about her past and that her parents were never coming back for her. We just did not want it to be true and we still don't. We still want to think that she is special because of here lineage instead of because of her deeds

[@DarthBelly]

Thank you, Bobby. Spot-on

[@aarongraves6566]

We need more Bobby please!. I am enjoying him so much!

[@little_seven_]

Bobby is an awesome guy. Thanks for having him on!

[@PetePuebla]

Few things I didn't like about TLJ. 1. Timeline- it happened right after TFA. I would've liked to see some time pass where Rey gets extensive training. Seeing her take out guards with what seemed like short training just seemed unbelievable. 2. Where are the Knights of Ren? 3. They missed many opportunities to kill off Leia honorably. 4. Don't like how they killed off Ackbar. 5. Flying thru space Leia seemed out of place. 6. Flynn and Rose going off in an adventure. 7. Rose- I really didn't care about her, her love line, or that kiss. 8. Snoke- hate that he was killed off without feeding us a back story.

[@bigtip8371]

Pete Puebla I agree with all of your points and despite that, still enjoyed it

[@jamesrapp2728]

Thx guys!

[@EntretenimientoConPerspectiva]

Great starwars chat with the hillarous Bobby. Congrats such a joy to see this one.

[@mvr2579]

So you think Rian and disney looked at all the theories and said let us do the opposite or not fulfill any theory out of spite? Why not decide ahead of time where you are going narratively and not let others predictions dictate where you are going. Btw we as an audience did not start theorizing. TFA was setup with several questions leading to speculation. Now I basically do not care cause it had no predetermined outcomes

[@enriquevalverde1858]

M VR That's like saying the new blade runner gives the audience the finger by not telling us if Deckard is a replicant or not.

[@alexanderchilton911]

I liked the movie, but I have a fundamental question. Why did Luke create a map to his location (Force Awakens) if he didn't ever want to be found?

[@natedog101591]

Alexander Chilton he didn't create the map, the map was for himvto find the island. He scattered the pieces to it to try and hide after the fact.

[@henrietta9206]

natedog101591 great catch!👌👍

[@athemocracy]

I think Rian Johnson didn't like the idiotic writing of TFA, so he changed it. I'm honestly thankful because TFA was an awful repetitive film.

[@alexanderchilton911]

Thank you. Somebody just brought that up and I thought it was pretty weird. But that makes more sense - although why didn't he just destroy the map lol.

[@absalomdraconis]

Alexander Chilton : He couldn't bring himself to destroy those books either.

[@shakenbake228]

This was awesome

[@sherrillsmith8380]

Excellent video. Totally love The Last Jedi and truly enjoyed Collider reviews. Definitely looking forward to JJ's take on Star Wars: # IX.

[@brianjones7698]

If you think about how many times DJ has probably been shocked... that stutter makes sense.

[@mariozakall]

All the scenes with Rey, Luke, Kylo and Snoke are great. One of my favorite scenes is the throne room with Snoke, Kylo & Rey too. I love all the Force stuff, the struggle between light & dark, conflicted characters & relationships, and lightsaber fights... and all of that came together in that scene, so that was great. Generally all the twists & turns worked for me, from Snoke's death & Kylo continuing on the dark path to Luke's final stand (I like the new Force powers they introduced), even the twists with Del Toro's character. Very cool reunion moments between Luke & Chewie, Luke & R2, Luke & Yoda and Luke & Leia. Most of the humor was fine too. But yeah, the Canto Bight scenes were the weakest for me too. I don't mind the storyline itself, but I think the execution and details of the mission is lacking. That could've been done in a more clever way. Also it would have been good if the fight with Phasma would been a bit harder for Finn. I guess Episode 9 might pick up a couple of years after The Last Jedi and start with Leia's funeral where (now) General Poe Dameron is giving a speech... Rey has received a couple more lessons from Force ghost Luke and has been training a group of Force-sensitive teenagers (Broom Kid among others) while Kylo has his Knights of Ren on his side (a few surviving Luke students who believed Kylo's story about Luke).

[@thomasbakken7844]

Love this idea, would maybe show that not all of the students kylo stole want to follow him. Think that could be a really cool dynamic, watching kylo forcing them (pun not intended) to learn the ways of the dark side

[@SwitzerPlays]

Great panel and discussion, wish Bobby was on the council all the time!

[@davidbergfors6820]

This conversation was a delight to listen too.

[@badkarma52]

Han Solo also refers to it as a religion on the Falcon in ANH.

[@Brook11223]

My favorite moment in SNL was the Kylo Ren Undercover boss segment because in that Bobby was the short straw to Kylos force.

[@davidallen346]

That was a very funny sketch it really shows Kylo's personality in the skit

[@jokarpinski22]

"Kylo Ren is a punk bitch"

[@BrandonHasAChannel]

" Matt straight up *SUCKS* "

[@kylebookout1789]

"I see inside your mind and it's stupid!"

[@sinisterkiid2301]

Luke’s final world to Leia being “no ones ever really gone” and kissing her on the forehead had me crying like a baby. An absolutely perfect, beautiful, stunning, poetic moment. Easily the most powerful and emotional moment ever in Star Wars

[@tonak4949]

at the Leia flying scene i had to laugh so hard , because i was thinking about the yandu scene from guardians of the galaxy, "i'm mary poppins , ya'll!" xD

[@gusharris-reid3419]

Love Bobby's comment about how the movie says 'It's ok to retreat.' Just like Dunkirk; another excellent movie which isn't about 'winning'.

[@CouchCit]

Gus Harris-Reid Yeah, I liked it better when it was done in the Empire Strikes Back. But no, let's go back to talking about how original this film was... *rollseyes*

[@PaulTenorio71]

Monynihan provides a very unique take on this movie and the Star Wars universe - very cool!!

[@TheSirUno]

Great bonus episode.

[@daniellestockdale4888]

Bobby's awesome. Hope to see him on the panel again :)

[@JuanDiaz-mx4sl]

It was made abundantly clear in The Last Jedi that Rey and Kylo are headed for a love match of sorts. Rey will end up pregnant with Kylo's child, carrying on the Skywalker line that way, the first by two Force-sensitive parents, and more than likely, will be the chosen one who is the one to fulfil the prophecy who will bring balance to the Force. The issue of Rey's lineage was not addressed in Episode VIII and I'm still certain she'll be revealed to be Kenobi's granddaughter as the surprise in IX in 2019, with the Obi Wan movie coming out in 2020 to show the audience how this happened. My bet on the title for IX is "Prophecy of the Force."

[@grayden4138]

I'm with Ken. Holdo's jump to lightspeed was absolutely breathtaking. I had the same reaction both times I've seen it: the audience gasping. Probably the most iconic scene, visually, in Star Wars since Luke staring at the twin sunset in 'A New Hope'.

[@PaulusAlone]

Grayden - Great effects...pis poor writing! That should have been Ackbar doing the heroics and Holdo left to help command the rebel forces and give her some character time with Poe...much more interesting! But no...Holdo is a woman and thus nobly sacrifices herself to save the rebels...and then has that immediately undermined by Rose stopping Finn from doing exactly the same thing at the cost of all her comrades lives? She had no idea that the Millennium Falcon would come or that Luke Skywalker would buy them time to escape...so her actions against Finn were just DUMB!

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

Yea and half of the gasps where of shock and horror but hey now guess what that opens up light speed ertang to detwoy its nao

[@AgentMcQueen]

*Oh, I love Bobby!*

[@somarriba333]

Holdo going light speed into Snoke's ship. Badass! And Luke meditating floating at the end. I want a poster of THAT!

[@theghastlygamer5326]

I have a question how the hell does the new rebellion get any damn equipment? With the original rebellion you had rich senators and the such to fund such things. They have zero ships or anything left

[@oscart7827]

Doesn't it literally say in the crawl that without the republic the resistance is now fucked.

[@natedog101591]

The GhastlyGamer they'll have to steal old equipment probably. Or find other old Rebel Bases

[@oscart7827]

I also think the point is people are now inspired after the events of tlj to help

[@RobFike]

In the original Star Wars, Han refers to it as a hokey religion (referring to Jedi)

[@leijen208]

I never knew anything outside of SNL from Bobby M., but he is stinkin' adorable. Love his personality and how he isn't afraid of his feelings about things

[@Kuromiakabluryfacexxsister]

I loved the movie. I love newness, the writing, the emotions it invoked in all of us all of it. It made so many of us sit and think about what just happened to "our" universe after we exited the theator and went back to our lives. Any movie that can have that big of an impact on you as a person in the real world is fantastic. I like most that we, as the audience, were added to the movie. There were so many ways it spoke to us without anyone even realizing until after it happened: "this isn't going to go the way you think"...."let the past die..even if you have to kill it"..." it lures you with what you want most". The movie spoke to us as an audience and we didn't listen. As Master Yoda would say "Never our minds on where we are, or what we are doing" "Cannot see what is right in front of our nose" We wanted to badly for our theories to be correct, to predict what was going to happen, who was who and what was what. We took the bait from the trailer saying "oh, now I for sure know what is going to happen" then going through each scene in our minds as we watched, waiting for that perfect moment for our theories to be justified that never came. "The signal has been received in multiple locations, but, no response". The audience were heard, the audiences were considered, but the writers did not come to our aid. We were left helpless as they took Star Wars to a new place. A place we did not plan on going, a place we did not chose to be, a place we all may not want to be, but a place where Star Wars still survives and will continue to go on. A great parallel to the resistance at the end of the film. This movie, and all Star Wars movies take us takes us to a galaxy far, far away the moment we see those big yellow letters fill up the screen. We leave this world for the 2.5 hours it takes for the film to come to a close. That is why I love Star Wars and rewatch these movies time and time again. The Last Jedi will be no exception. It was a fantastic film that has added more depth, more value and more story to the Star Wars universe.

[@pietropietro5466]

when we saw luke was still on the island, the cinema where I was exploded in cheers, that was amazing!

[@r.j.macready]

Pietro Pietro mine too until then he died. It felt at odds with what just happened for me.

[@martinzyka6432]

DJ means "Don't Join". That's what his character is about. Don't join, live free.

[@trenterra]

Martin Zyka that makes perfect sense.

[@quickattack]

His hat also says "Don't Join" in Aurebesh.

[@martinzyka6432]

It's Star Wars everything's corny.

[@themichealproject20]

Very intelligent observation on Leia Bobby and very true. :)

[@alexpollock6932]

Holdo cutting through the cruiser was probably the most beautiful cinematography ever shown in a starwars movie. It is breath takingly stunning

[@billyoertel5666]

Admiral Motti calls the Force a religion in A New Hope. "Your sad devotion to that ancient religion had not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort."

[@billyoertel5666]

Oh damn they just pointed that out in the video. Should have watched the whole thing, I thought I was being clever

[@violator7964]

No, he was originally referring to the Jedi. Darth Vader was supposed to just a fallen Jedi, not a followers of an opposing 'faith'.

[@billyoertel5666]

Tomato tomato

[@Bikejonze]

This movie was like Dark Souls. Things are horrible. Life is hard. People make awful mistakes. Do you let the light go out or relight the spark?

[@cdagyekybcrpaa]

Bikejonze and like Dark Souls, it was AWESOME

[@Antonin1738]

Love this panel

[@canunezp]

This makes me happy

[@silentknight.95]

Ep. 9 - Rey’s team of Jedi vs Kylo’s Knights of Ren = Boom!

[@FiliDesperado]

Scott Margetan now this I can get behind... Hope it happens. Disappointed we didn't get any knights of ren in this one

[@arthur1022]

That would be awesome!

[@jlgmail1580]

Meh

[@MarStoryTime]

Scott Margetan: Would've been nice if Rian Johnson showed us the Knights of Ren in that Jedi temple flashback then. And here's the weird thing: so I guess Episode IX will have a ton of force ghosts to train Rey? Or is she going to magically become a Master Jedi after reading a few books? See, this is why we have problems w/ this movie. It doesn't appear that they sat down and worked all this stuff out beforehand. But hey, maybe I'm wrong and J.J. will resolve a lot of these things in IX. We'll see.

[@zachsrhine]

Glad to see the respect of differing opinions in this comment section. Polite conversations with little to no name calling. (Sarcasm)

[@arturovasquez3]

i thought you where serious i was like finally.....fuck

[@trinitydenton1849]

Zachary Schreiber TLJ was fucken awful!

[@zachsrhine]

Cool!

[@cforbes54]

Love Bobby on the show! Kristian is so right about that second watch, what an amazing movie!

[@stealahb]

i had that feeling too as like - What the hell are we gonna do in Nine? loved it completely!

[@vermontmike9800]

Yoda said that Rey KNOWS the contents of the books, not that she has them or took them. Rey said she had been/seen the temple before...are they setting up her being the reincarnated chosen one?

[@EhvinnTee]

Mike H. You see them in the Falcon at the end.

[@vermontmike9800]

Evan Tsilimidos I understand that but listen to what Yoda says about the books. The key word is that Rey KNOWS the information.

[@PaulusAlone]

Mike H. Again, I think that idea of yours is better than anything they have probably come up with? Writing talent and good ideas are apparently in short supply in Hollywood...?

[@gothamknight2201]

28:12 Wow Bobby Moynihan tells a story where Daisy Ridley Meets Colin Trevorrow at an SNL after party. and daisy starts crying. i wonder what he said to her.

[@bigtip8371]

Gotham Knight it had to something truly beautiful or truly tragic ( sacrifice)

[@PaulusAlone]

Gotham Knight - He said your parents were drunken nobodies and you really are a Mary Sue! And it made her cry, as it almost made me frickin cry when I found out! ;}

[@Drew914]

Loved Bobby on SNL. Thanks for having him on Jedi Council!

[@joshuamelo7618]

DJ stands for Don't Join. His little head gear says it in Aurebesh and he says it to Finn at some point on the stolen yacht

[@aJollymanProduction]

Bobby Moynihan is great. I hope he comes back from time to time.

[@phineassmith7625]

Jerry Jolly He was so good!!!!

[@humblebugg5270]

Jerry Jolly i found him creepy

[@shanecanavan8132]

I find u creepy

[@humblebugg5270]

Shane Canavan grow up son

[@shanecanavan8132]

Humble Bugg. Im only joking calm down dad

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

What the movie felt for me is that they acknowledge that fans of Star Wars has thought of, theorised and discussed huge amounts of lore and speculation and thus have alot of expectations, but instead of upping us with more intriguing lore, they've decided to tell us all we did is literally for nothing, Snoke is nothing, Rei is nobody. Instead of bringing back the original heroes and let them have a last adventure together, we instead have burnt out shells of characters die out one by one, literally everything in the past has to die, so that they can cash in on new original IPs. I was about to mourn when Leia seemingly dies but then they did a double take and completely pulled me out of the moment, all I can think now is how long are they going to drag out her death and put Leia and Carrie Fisher to rest? All the canon that is set up in the expanded universe felt like nothing but a marketing ploy to drive hype and push us to watch movies, which then tells us that everything we cared for is nothing, the expanded canon and lore does nothing for the movies, no pay off and everything old is cast aside, I feel that all the time I spent on Star Wars has been a waste of my time and money. Because of this I no longer feel attached to Star Wars and have no anticipation for any new Star Wars media.

[@calebdesjardins616]

LOVE Bobby on the council!

[@chrisjohnson5765]

Ash, I don't think I'll get in trouble for saying this, but the scene with Chewie cooking the porgs over the camp fire was not added later on. It was part of the original script and one of the first storyboard drawings Rian showed me a couple years ago. Kristian and Ken, it was fun getting a few minutes to talk to you guys at the premiere after party. Love your guys' videos! I hope my bro comes on as a guest one day!

[@tevinhouse2764]

DJ stands for don't join

[@elyhim]

Interesting character, hope we see him again.

[@tevinhouse2764]

i dont

[@hammerpocket]

Finally! I was beginning to think I was the only one who figured that out.

[@andrewdeen1]

it was so strange he decided to play an even more annoying version of his character from the usual suspects in this movie.. and i liked the last jedi a lot. he didnt work. would've been 10x better without that silly stutter.

[@216Knox]

My problem with the fandom as a whole is TFA NEVER implies that Rey herself doesn’t know who her parents are. She just wants them to come back to Jakku. Over these last 2 years, the fandom has asked her lineage so much that the writers of TLJ fed into it and made Rey randomly not remember who her family is

[@spencerlgraham]

Dante Robinson thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills. The fan base hyped up Rey’s parents, not TFA.

[@DaHeadHunter076]

I have explained this to so many people... She was clearly like 7-9 years old when they left her there, obviously she knows who her parents are!

[@BJH34]

Dante Robinson yes exactly. I felt that the identity of her parents did not matter, and it was never emphasized, yet people made such a big deal to people for no reason.

[@savagetaestheticknight221]

I loved it.

[@ironman20ful]

It is the first time, i hear boby talking, and i love it. He is my kind star wars fan.

[@timothynichols6880]

I like how Disney is switching it up a lil bit. All the movies before this one were basically the same theme/tone. You need to change it up sometimes, or else it would be like a TV show that does the same thing every season. It would get old.

[@CouchCit]

So all the SW movies had the same tone?? LMAO, I swear, you sound like a millenial who doesn't know what good quality is and is just yearning for "something different" because you have the attention span of a goldfish. Not saying that you are, but your comment sounds like it.

[@vermontmike9800]

Did anyone see the Ashla and Bogan symbol on the temple floor?
