Alright, I think I’ve had my fun. I was mostly posting in a harsh manner to get a rise out of Dom. =P

In all honesty, I’m still pretty positive about TLJ. It has a lot of faults but the handling of Rey and Ben’s characters was pretty superb.

I also really enjoyed the examination of the failure of the Jedi Order through Luke but I still fundamentally disagree with the idea that 1., Luke would ever ignite his saber(pull a gun) on his nephew in his sleep like that or 2., that he’d completely give up and just wander off to die.

That’s completely anathema to his character. Luke Skywalker is the eternal optimist, he’s the one that believes you can redeem anyone. Even an evil Sith Lord responsible for the deaths of countless sentient beings. To give up on and contemplate KILLING his nephew because he’s starting to have bad thoughts? No.

That aside, I think there’s still enough buried in there for a decent film. Trimmed of most of its excess, I’m quite partial to Hal’s fan edit of the film.
