Well I am seen the movie. I still not sure what to think. It had good moments and bad moments. One thing that shocked me was the Leia survived. I thought for sure she was going to die in the movie, due to the death of Carrie Fisher. It looked like that was what happened when the bridge blew up and she went into space. But she survived. Now, I have no idea of that was what was originally planed or not. If it was not originally planned and they added that in to take advantage of everyone expecting her to die, I think it would be in poor taste. You don’t take advantage of a real life death like that. Anyway, it is now a guarantee that she will die in the next movie(perhaps off screen before the events of the next movie) I didn’t like what they did with Luke. The Rebellion is near death and the only fully trained Jedi(unless you want to somehow argue that Leia was fully trained) is just going to sit on his rear end and do nothing about it and whine about his failure with Ben Solo. Consider also that his own sister is going to be killed as well. So he is just going to sit there on the island while Leia and the rebellion are wiped out? Sorry I don’t think they gave enough of a reason for Luke to be acting the way he was. I bet some are upset that Luke started the fight with Ben Sole. It bothers me a little, but I am not that upset. What was the heck was that scene when Rey when into the hole? I don’t it. I am surprised that Snoke was killed. I thought for sure he was going to meet his end in the last movie. *shrugs shoulders* With Snoke dead, I guess we will never find out where he came from. Too bad. I didn’t know force users could have discussions at long distances, I guess they can. Of course it makes a bit more sense when you find out Snoke was behind it. So Rey’s parents were nobodies, just ordinary people? Then how did she before force sensitive? Wouldn’t it make more sense for at least one of her parents to be force sensitive? One think I am confused about is did or did not Luke cut himself off from the force? I think I heard him say that he had. If that did happen, how does he have his force abilities back at the end. Could someone please explain Luke’s death? (btw that was spoiled for me by inadvertently clicking on this thread before seeing the movie). What was happening with Luke at the end? Was he using the force to be in two places at once? Was that some sort of force projection or something? It didn’t make sense. Why did the killing of whatever it was, cause Luke himself to die? I don’t get it. Why did he stand there and let Kilo Ren kill him? I mean when Obiwan did it in ANH, it made sense. Obiwan was sacrificing himself so that Luke, Han, and Leia would get the heck out of there and no longer delay to wait for him. Also could argue that Vader was going to kill Obiwan in the end anyway due to Obiwan being so old at the time of the fight. What was Luke’s reason? He was trying hold up Kilo Ren and the rest to allow what was left of the resistance to get away. Sacrificing himself doesn’t accomplish that. Making the fight take as long was possible would have been more beneficial for that. Why didn’t he make the fight last as long as possible, giving the resistance more time to escape and why didn’t he try to kill Kilo Ren right there? Rey beat him in the last movie, so surely Luke a Jedi Master should stand a reasonable chance against Ren. Yet Luke didn’t even try. If whatever it was could be killed by a light saber, why didn’t the blaster shots kill him? It didn’t look like Luke was reflect or anything. The whole scene just doesn’t make sense. Who was the boy at the end?
Where the heck is Lando?
I guess that is all I have for now. I guess I am a bit let down. Of course it may have a little to do with my bad movie experience while watching the film. (see the b****ing in the off topic section of the forum).
