I don't really see the problem here, in Legends there was a powerful Sith boi who hold his body together with his willpower and his believe in the darkside of the force. He was unkillable and only died because he cut his connection to the dark side. Palpatine falling into a bottomless pit wasn't really something he couldn't survive, just like floating through space or whatever. Don't really think it's TOO farfetched or weirder than some other extremely weird design choices I also thought that the fleet was really boarded with undead lol.

Great point. If they had actually addressed that-perhaps when other characters call her out on it, or when Kylo/Ben was trying to convince her to join him, or when she acknowledges she feels the same ambiguity he does, or when she’s reflecting on her mistakes-it would actually have made the movies stronger. They could have treated Rey as an imperfect heir of sorts, full of potential power but also of potential darkness. The specter of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One whose human weaknesses led to so much suffering, would surely have loomed large. Her Palpatine roots might even have felt more meaningful, raising the terrible possibility that her blood is her destiny, so that when she refuses her grandfather, it’s that much more interesting. Of course, we all know Rey doesn’t make mistakes, no one ever worried she’d choose the Dark Side, and these characters don’t have time to reflect on anything.

[@EmileeAria413]

Rey is, like, legit not a Jedi. She’s called a Jedi, but she is NOT a Jedi. She is a Grey Jedi, which is TOTALLY different. For one she was barely taught any ideals of the Jedi Order, and Luke (her mentor) is also barely a Jedi, he’s always been very emotional. But their actions and ideals match Grey Jedi’s pretty well from what I remember. The fact that they insisted on keeping the black-and-white “Good and Evil” plot annoys me a lot.

[@springheeljack298]

I think the worst part of the movie for me was when they shitcanned the idea of Rey's parents being worthless nobodies. That was the best idea that the second movie had and was something actually different. The idea that the source of force power doesn't have to come from your fucked up family tree.

Yet, when Luke Force jumped out of the carbonite chamber to stay alive in ESB, no one said, "Oh, the force lets you do that now? Why didn't Luke lose that fight right then and there and get frozen? 'Ho it's the force.' Literally annoying as hell."

[@dreamwanderer5791]

@@frams12 Obi-Wan was a voice in Luke's head during the trench run. The next film did a ghost projection because it's a visual medium. Though technically true, there was some setup. I would put it in the same category as Ion Lightning as, "Well, it's another power, just more realized." Vader force chokes a subordinate who bashes the Jedi religion. Furthermore choking is really a condensed version of pushing really. Enhanced reflexes were added in to episode V yes, however that is more palatable for people as a whole than something as big as teleportation. Though to show I'm not fully forgiving the OT, using the force to see into the future was a biiiit much, even if it was vaguely set up. Most future sight tends to be. Outside of that and the mind trick, the force really was just an extension of what a person was already physically capable of, and that's how many took it (and plot convenient future sight, mentioned above). Of course there was the lightning, but it was more of a flashy showing of how evil Mr Big Bad is. I'll be fair and say it was a bit of an asspull at the time. It's more of a can of worms however when you add in leaps of powers like teleportation. While TLJ certainly set it up with the water, it could still arguably be seen as the next step in future sight. But when you can actually pull large, plot relevant objects.... It's less forgivable and more a plot convenience, much like future sight in general. Furthermore when these powers are more baseline standard to push the plot along, you get less obscure visions, and more "We must do this." "Why?" "A feeling." It's hard to say that the force isn't being used more fast and loose in the ST, when it's used to set up most, if not all the biggest events. The lightsaber calling to Rey, force interrogation (which makes the torture droid redundant in retrospect I just realized), Luke getting premonitions about Ben, the "visions" between Rey and Ben to give an excuse to talk (which was a good idea on paper so that they can debate their viewpoint I'll say), the Sacred Jedi texts debacle, Luke distracting the First Order for an escape, and really, all the driving actions of TRoS. If nothing else the sheer amount of times it's used to push plot via abstract meanings is what rub many the wrong way. And just to cover my bases: I don't like Anakin having the premonitions of Shmi and Padmé dying either. It could have been done more naturally than the writer slapping him silly with plot while he slept. Really what I and others from what I've seen dislike are how often the force is less of pushing your normal attributes (Pulling and pushing out of your reach, better stamina and agility, etc) and more abstract methods to do nothing but force the plot to go where it's needed (visions, mind probing, the script giving feelings of how to proceed, etc). The only thing that really warps this is that New Hope mind trick really, but it at least had the "Weak Minded" cop out that left it from being used on, say, Vader, Tarkin, Jabba, Watto, or really anyone who could have what they want. It's a bit plot convenient, but not so much so that the plot relies on it much like subsequent, abstract force abilities. Hopefully you aren't upset by what I've said, it was by no intention to do so. Simply my and other's reasoning as to why the force nebulously pushing the plot is seen as more egregious in the sequels.

[@FalenDragmire]

@@frams12 The original trilogy did not, in fact, do that. At the very least, it did not do it to the extent that the sequel trilogy did it. The Force stayed relatively the same throughout the OT. The only things that really changed were the movies showing more of what the Force was capable of. The difference between then and now is that back then, Star Wars was brand new. There weren't literal decades of source material to draw from. People didn't complain about the Force being able to do new things because the things that were shown either made logical sense and were set up properly or weren't outright ridiculous. Also, Vader quite literally force chokes someone in A New Hope. In the meeting room with Tarkin present; he force chokes the guy that makes fun of his belief in the Force.

[@JenniferKokoski]

Okay let's just realize Rian Johnson is the absolute worst writer and director for Star Wars. Everything in the last Jedi was made to undo everything in Star Wars history. Luke is now a pessimistic bitter old hermit. Hyperspace is a race that you can knock someone out of just by following them. Snoke is a nothing character. Kylo Ren can't decide if he's good or evil so kills his master and then continues some other path that we have no idea involves. Rey is a nobody. Every kid in the galaxy now has force powers. Oh and being a Jedi turns you into a space Jesus that allows you to survive explosions, zero gravity and absolutely no oxygen while allowing you to propel yourself through space while comatose. Rian Johnson stated that he hated Star Wars. And he showed it with the movie he made. It's not a true Star Wars movie. The best thing Disney could do is just to make a new trilogy and claim this one was a failed first attempt. After all their fans of remaking all of their content. How many live-action remakes of classic cartoons that we had now? And how many times have they redone Haunted Mansion?

[@jakfrost574]

My favorite bit was when lesbian A and lesbian B kissed at the end of the movie. Trust me, they were both developed characters that had a totally substantial role in the movie and were definitely NOT put in for 5 seconds of “gay brownie points.” I’m not even gay and that ticked me off.

[@Serena_Maeve]

And they were toooootally not removed in certain countries. Not at all. Cause as we all know, Disney supports LGBTQ+! Absolutely! Yeah!

[@jakfrost574]

Shtampboy 21 You know, funny story... When this movie released, my parents wanted to have a family movie night so we all went to go and see this movie. I’ve only watched The Force Awakens, the rest is my “watch this at some point” list don’t worry, but I had seen Schaff. Productions review on it(He’s the guy who made Shark Talk, a fantastic YTP of Shark Tale, in case you don’t know who I’m talking about). So going in, I was expecting it to at least be rather mediocre. My suspicions turned out true. The movie focuses way too much on action as opposed to character development, Palpatine still being alive is frankly dumb as hell, Rey is probably the most Mary Sue she’s ever been(that “Rey Skywalker shit literally goes against the message of the movie, good can come from anywhere and your bloodline doesn’t matter), barely any of the side characters actually matter, and the score is both confusing and poorly implemented. But what I remember most was that 2-3 second scene of two random chicks making out. I already went through why I think that scene is pointless in the first comment, but one thing I forgot to mention is that my family is very religious. They are very much against gay people, even though one of my mom’s best friends is a gay man so for her it’s debatable, and according to my sister my dad called someone a N****r. I was, and still am, not religious so as we were going to Fatz to eat, I was dreading the inevitable complaining about how gays are bad and the rest of the movie doesn’t matter because of it. But it never came. We ate dinner, talked about the movie a bit, and we went home. Only I noticed it and I just find that funny. It was incredibly obvious too, so I don’t know how they missed it. This also shows how pointless that scene is. It would be one thing if it was two characters, say Rey and Rose as an example, that we already knew were kissing. But again, they are lesbian A and lesbian B. Two nothing characters very clearly put there to make Disney look “progressive and forward-thinking.” And even then, like you said, it’s sooo short they could just remove it for certain countries that aren’t as “open” to homosexuality as we are. It means nothing and it says nothing. The Palestine Bass Drop was pretty funny though, not gonna lie.

You could also say “How did R2 and Threepio land on the same planet as a farm boy that happened to be force-sensitive, the son of Darth Vader, and happen to live near another force sensitive that just so happened to be Vader’s old mentor?” Almost everything is convenient, it’s not a bad thing.

I think it’s symbolic of Disney filling the once thriving franchise of Star Wars full of useless tokenism and symbolism. They keep running the saber that is Star Wars through the sand in a vane attempt to clean it. Only to succeed in filling it with more sand and ruining it. Then they present it to us with a greedy smile: “We worked hard for this one”. I think Star Wars belongs in the public domain where real passionate fans can do Disney’s job for them. Because we know Disney hardly can.

In prior Star Wars movies, the Force augments a user’s physical & mental abilities, giving them peak physical capabilities and allows them to mentally manipulate the world around them (more/less basic magic).

It's also a plot point that the Sith managed to amass countless ships and weapons from seemingly no-where and you gotta find out why and stop it. Also you have a droid companion who is secretly a Sith droid and knows many secrets of the plot. Also there is a Soldier who used to be a Sith soldier, but defected to the Republic and became a Jedi. Also you have to find mutiple secret artifacts in order to find a secret base so that the plot can be resolved.

Can we also talk about the fact that Finn’s arc writes itself? He has the big last fight with the stormtroopers, and what made him so compelling in The Force Awakens was that he humanized stormtroopers. Yet here he is, gunning down stormtroopers in the climax, and the movie gives that no dramatic weight, as if they’re not people. How hard would it be to add a scene where Finn turns some stormtroopers to his cause and leads them in a defiant act against the institution that stole them as children, and all these stormtroopers help him take down the navigation thingy.

He stayed in the cloning place, and we met him there in Attack of the Clones? There was a space battle between him and Obi wan as well, so not exactly an underdeveloped theme I think. These are the sort of things you forget about only if the movies are good. And they're really not, here...
