Wait, do we all agree that he died of exhaustion then? I took him getting back upright to mean that he didn’t die from over exertion, but rather that he sort of “leveled up”. It’s not that the Force projection bit took so much out of him that he had to die, it’s that he transcended time and space and achieved Force godhood.

I think it can be both. He exhausted his mortal form.

apparently I sorta got the first one right…lets see if my other predictions pan out…

“Official” Star Wars 8: The Force Unleashed Spoilers

  1. Chewbacca returns to Tatooine as captain of the Millenium Falcon, after the death of Han Solo. There, he recruits 2 first-mates. They are Heckle and Jeckle, 2 irascible brothers whose antics cause no end of trouble and laughter for poor Chewbacca. They will be CGI, and look sort of like wombats.

  2. Leia will become much more integral to the plot of “Force Unleashed” as she and her servant/companion, Beurre (another cgi-created character) enter the plotline. Beurre is a talking animated butter-dish, whose singing and positive attitude will delight children and adults of all ages. (Disney approved)

  3. Luke and Leia will explore and fully realize the “forbidden love” aspect of their relationship, in a desperate plan to revitalize the jedi ranks by creating children, and then multitudes of clones of those children. These new younglings will, however, have some forms of retardation, due to the in-breeding.

  4. As you know in real life, the character named Finn came under legal dispute by Finnius, a handle that had been used by ME since before the days of WWW, back with Arpanet and BBS. After clearly showing in court that I had been called “Finn” or “Finnius” since 1981…I was allowed to take over the role of Finn for all remaining movies. I will be digitally changed to blackface in the movie to keep continuity for the franchise. Finn will become the love interest of Rey, while the both of them begin Jedi training under the new Jedi Master.

  5. The new Jedi Master, Jar-Jar Binkenobi takes Rey and Finn under his wing, training them in the ways of the New Jedi Way…which includes pie-fights, prat-falls, eye-pokes and other distracting techniques to foil enemies. (it is rumored that a final battle between Jar Jar and Luke is in the script for episode 9, although Mark Hamill refuses to speak of anything, due to a gag order in his contract)

  6. R2-D2 somehow regains his repressed memories of serving Darth Vader AND Luke Skywalker, and immolates himself in a courageous act of remorse. C-3PO, distraught over his lovers’ death, vows to never love again. Beurre eventually cheers him up with song and dance, and by the end of the movie C-3PO bravely announces his homosexual programming to the rest of the cast.

  7. Kylo Ren dons armor, (much like Darth Vader) and his voice is augmented to match exactly to Professor Snape (from the Harry Potter series). Hearing of Luke and Leia’s romance, he vows to find HIS lost sister so that he can ALSO produce a horde of sith-children…and the race between the 2 factions for control of the galaxy begins.

What exactly would you guys say are specific reasons why TLJ is so divisive?

Not why it sucks, or why it’s wonderful—but what about the film seems to (apparently) be making it a love it or hate it kind of thing?

Like, if I were to have a conversation with someone I know irl about TLJ, and if I said it seems to be really divisive regarding the fanbase, and they asked me why, what could I say?

…I’m having this hypothetical conversation with family in my head, but I don’t know how to explain conceptually why its divisive, especially to someone who hasn’t seen the film yet.

I would say it is that half the people in the world are dumber than average and the other half are smarter than average creates the divide.

And it just so happens that the smarter half agrees with you, right?

Half and half is a bit much. Maybe 70-30. The 30% is the “but muh Luke” crowd who are just louder for now.

I would wager it’s fair to say the die hard fans are about evenly split. I think most casual fans at least liked it, if not loved it. Thing with SW is there are a lot more casual fans.

I can’t say I agree, as a Movie, it was good but not a must-see for a casual star wars fan. Maybe a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 as a movie. I though Jamnji was a much better movie as far as entertainment goes.

Are you a casual fan or a die hard fan? I find the former hard to believe.

Neither? or either? I guess it depends on how you define it.

I am old enough to see the OT in theatres and as a kid I loved Star Wars. One summer I got borrow someone’s VCR before it was the kind of thing everyone had and watched ANH 100 plus time including watching it a few times in reverse. I owned the toys and played star wars a fair amount.

But being into Star Wars that deeply was not being ‘die hard’ it was just being a kid. I was also into Gi Joe and Spider Man etc.

After ROTJ I got older and didn’t pay much attention to SW. Never read a SW book, but did go see all the movies and watched some of the cartoons. Out of 9 live action movies, I probably have only been to the Theatre to see them 13 times? (OT when it came out, twice for ROTJ, then OT again when re-released) The PT only once, RO once, TFA twice and TLJ.

I am sure by the board’s standards, I am not a Die Hard, but at the same token, I can still do every line in ANH along with the movie, so hard to say I am a casual fan.

Especially as you are new here, you might want to be more obvious when you’re joking. Maybe a winky face would help next time.

Pretty much anyone on this site is a die hard. By my definition anyway.

Yeah if you care about Star Wars enough to post about it, you’re pretty much qualified as die hard.

When TFA came out their were some who were annoyed because it made the originals completly pointless. Last Jedi was different in a sense that it was more strategy and getting things right than, we know how to finish this

Also with added locations and rubbish ships (bomber) it appeals to the more patient.

I’m not sure what this part means either…

I don’t know what this means.

It means when force awakens came out it made the originals pointless because the first order still reigns

Sorry typing on a kindle is pretty hard - TLJ compared to force awakens doesn’t have as much instant action so it may not appeal to people who can’t sit through longer films that have less fighting.

Personally I think all of the storytelling problems in the ST come from the First Order. The enemy should have been a legion of extragalactic invaders.
