What I don’t like are female characters – or really, characters in general – who have little to no flaws and are nearly perfect at what they do without any rationale behind their perfection.

So I guess you were in the bathroom for the part where the entire second act was predicated on Rey fucking up then.

I don’t know how you can espouse an opinion on TLJ with a straight face, then.

Come on joe, don’t be silly, you don’t have to see the film to know they emasculated Luke and made Rey god queen of the galaxy.

Same way I can determine Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom is vile trash.

Yeah, that movie that’s not out for another five months fuckin sucks. Seriously though, reviewing a thing you haven’t actually seen is just about the most intellectually disingenuous move I can come up with.

EDIT: I thought you were doing a pun on the Solo movie with Salo, not actually talking about Salo itself. Still, y’know what I do? Not watch OR talk about Salo. I firmly believe that that if you’re going to dump on a thing, watch it first.

Rey becomes a master swords(wo)man with next to no training, yes? She effortlessly lifts a shit-ton of rocks with about the same amount of training, yes? She beats a seasoned Jedi master, a bunch of Snoke’s highly-trained bodyguards, and apparently Kylo again, in duels, yes? Her parents were nobodies, not Skywalkers or Kenobis or Palpatines or anyone with Force-sensitivity which might explain her innate proficiency, yes? She’s just absurdly powerful and skilled because … Forcedidit.

That’s what I gathered from reviews I watched/read. Are they wrong?

I’m not going to waste energy talking to you about this if you’re not even going to watch it. It’s as if you read about a recipe and decided you hated it without tasting it.

EDIT: Who the shit is this seasoned Jedi master she’s supposed to have beaten?

EDITAGAIN: I should just stop engaging, but I can’t help myself.

The movie actually makes it pretty clear that her skill with a lightsaber is almost completely due to the fact that she was already a skilled melee fighter with her staff.

She effortlessly lifts a shit-ton of rocks with about the same amount of training, yes?

Didn’t Empire teach us that the only thing keeping you from lifting shit is not believing that you can lift shit? Maybe Rey is just more credulous than Luke was.

She beats a seasoned Jedi master,

Kylo kills Snoke, not Rey.

a bunch of Snoke’s highly-trained bodyguards,

Never established as being Force-sensitive.

and apparently Kylo again, in duels, yes?

No, she doesn’t.

Her parents were nobodies, not Skywalkers or Kenobis or Palpatines or anyone with Force-sensitivity which might explain her innate proficiency, yes? She’s just absurdly powerful and skilled because … Forcedidit.

So the prequel-era Lucas model of super-powerful chosen-one bloodlines is more appealing to you than the Force working in mysterious ways? Wouldn’t’ve pegged you as one of those.

I tasted TFA; it was was like eating an undercooked cake. TLJ looks like the same cake put back in the oven and then left in the oven too long; I don’t need to taste the blackened thing to know its inedible.

The stick fight? He was still avoiding using the Force at that point. He only used it to break his fall.

She loses the stick fight actually, it’s only when her stick is knocked out of her hand and she cheats by drawing her saber that Luke falls over.

These might be spoilers. You guys should edit your posts too.

Since this “quoting in spoilers” thing is a pain in the ass, I’ll post just this and then I’m done with this debate here.

Because the two weapons are just so alike and handled so similarly.

She effortlessly lifts a shit-ton of rocks with about the same amount of training, yes?

Another one of Rey’s “not perfect” qualities, I’m sure.

a bunch of Snoke’s highly-trained bodyguards,

Never established as being Force-sensitive.

And she never received real training, which in a properly executed story would’ve given her a disadvantage.

Her parents were nobodies, not Skywalkers or Kenobis or Palpatines or anyone with Force-sensitivity which might explain her innate proficiency, yes? She’s just absurdly powerful and skilled because … Forcedidit.

What would’ve been appealing to me is if Rey had never been depicted as being able to use Jedi mind tricks, telekinesis, and various other Force abilities without training period. But they didn’t. Since they didn’t, they should’ve then come up with a damn plausible reason for her uncanny proficiency. Giving her a Force-ful heritage and/or revealing she had received some Jedi training as a child would’ve helped to some degree to rectify this. They didn’t do any of that.

I know you don’t want to watch it now, but this too shall pass.

Yeah, I’m a person who prefers real characters over feminazi Mary Sues.

A film about the Emperor’s Royal Guard would be interesting. The Crimson Empire comic was about this. It was a mixed bag, but I like the idea in general.

It wouldn’t even be possible, but I’d like a grimy Boba Fett heist movie in the mold of Stark’s Parker novels.

The Boba Fett movie would have to be a Western.

They should have just included him in Firefly.

Oh, I’d love that!
Actually I’d like to see twin films- one for the Empire, one for the Rebellion.

Yes. Two films that show the same events from different perspectives.

Also, from what I’ve heard, Tales of the Jedi sounds like a better idea of what the Galaxy was like long ago than KotOR or SWToR, but I haven’t played or read any of these things, so take this with a grain of salt. I just feel like technology should be much less advanced in that era; battery pack lightsabers, hyperdrives only on capital ships, etc…
