your thoughts: Did Disney kill star wars because it sounds like they did with the last jedi solo and resistance.

Luke was wounded, and probably slowly freezing to death. And you try Force pulling your saber with the blood rushing to your head! 😉

Lol yeah you are right again, and I will fully admit that. But that doesn’t change my mind that I feel like Disneys version of force users are far too powerful and learn too quickly. Like I said, Rey learns all of Lukes/Anakins skills in 1 film, unlike their 3. Rey already beat Kylo in the first film, there is no tension at all for the final film. Ether she will beat him yet again or Kylo will just say “yeah, being bad is bad” and become good. They could have made Reys powers work. For example, Snoke could have been Darth Pleagusus, he learned how to bring others back to life, now his own. He made Anakin 2.0 - Rey. So insanely powerful that she can do everything really quickly and needs no training. But this doesnt correct the issue that there is no tension at all. Thats the whole point in NOT making your jedi godlike. It ruins the tension. What I also find funny is that the other characters dont even act like this is a first. The most insanely powerful force user ever but Yoda and Luke arnt fussed.

On top of this, and I know that this is irrelevant to our convo, but they constantly crack jokes at the bad guys and, as a viewer, I cant help but feel the same. They are to be laughed at. For example, before 7 was out I thought Kylo looked daft but when I seen him in movie form, at the beginning of the film, with the voice, attitude etc I realised that I was wrong. Buuuut…then Poe mocks him and, as a viewer, my perception of the bad guy comes from how the heros feel about him. Kylo is a good bad guy for 2 mins and then he is a joke for the entire sequel trilogy. Beaten, joked and mocked about multiple times.
