John Lambies Doos Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Either he or Rey stuck them on the Falcon. Good point....On a side note Yoda is the man(or green furry thing). He epitomises everything sacred about the Jedi, yet he laughed like a little bam when he burnt down the temple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She basically got ragdolled by snoke and had the light sabre bounce off her head and then wasn't able to beat Kylo on claiming the light sabre so it was destroyed? It was slightly more reasonable from that standpoint this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wasnt able to beat Kylo but he couldnt beat her either. It tore the sabre in half as they are somehow equally as powerful. I could have ran with that stuff tbh if there weren't so many plot holes and they didnt shit on Luke Skywalker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Rey showed in TFA on Jakku that she can take care of herself, so she's obvious had quite a bit of experience fighting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 They didn’t shit on Skywalker at all. I thought he was well written and acted the part perfectly as the failed Jedi Master who redeemed himself in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Luke Skywalker who handed himself into the Empire to redeem the 2nd most evil person who worked for the most evil person in the Galaxy who overseen the death of hundreds of Jedi and killed kids. That Luke Skywalker who in this film sensed his twin sister (with force powers too, remember) and his best mates kid was turned by random guy Snoke and decided to kill him in his sleep? Without trying to redeem him? Mark Hamill was very good and I agree with the dozens of interviews where he said he didnt agree with anything they did with his character. Wasnt for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must’ve turned off the movie halfway through guy if that’s how you thought the Luke/ Ben arc went. Also Hamill came out fairly recently and clarified his comments on his character direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Disney had a problem moving into this trilogy. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher could no longer act at a level that was attracting leading roles in other films and Harrison Ford who can didn't really want to do it and was only willing to do what amounted to a cameo role before his charcater got killed off once and for all. Think when you bear that backdrop in mind the way they have handled it makes sense, i.e. Carrie Fisher's character in a coma for most of one film with Laura Dern shoehorned in as a new character to deliver most of her lines, and Mark Hamill appearing for a few seconds in one and being himself as a bitter old hasbeen in the other. By all accounts the Han Solo prequel film could bomb as the actor hired for the main character can't do the role properly in a Hayden Christiansen I don't like sand sort of way. Much the same could have happend with TLJ if Luke Skywalker was still at the top of his game in the script.

AyrshireTon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So far for me it's - The Empire Strikes Back (by some distance) Star Wars Return of the Jedi Rogue One The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Revenge of the Sith Attack of the Clones/The Phantom Menace Can't separate the last two - AOTC has some decent lightsabre stuff near the end but crammed full of crap dialogue. TPM - says a lot that they killed off the two best things in it. TLJ may improve once I've seen it a few more times on DVD, but it's still superior to any of Lucas's prequels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 ROTJ has faults but the stuff with Luke, Vader and the Emperor is immense. The Phantom Menace is also clearly the best of the prequels. Of course its shit but it has a couple of decent things, mainly Qui Gonn (easily the best thing about the prequels) and Darth Maul. The lightsaber battles are pretty good too. It also has the least annoying version of Anakin and his maw was a decent character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I only liked TPM because it gave us the astounding "duel of the fates" piece lol Which is probably the best lightsaber battle in the whole of the 8 films so far, it’s brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 At least we can all agree that AOTC is easily the worst. What a dreadful piece of shit it is, not to mention incredibly boring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'll chime in with my best to worst too: Empire Strikes Back Rogue One (i thought it was fantastic) A New Hope Return of the Jedi The Force Awakens Revenge of the Sith The Last Jedi Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
