Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Rian Johnson, December 15, 2017) Movie • Page 146

i assume it happened between them escaping on the giant ...things... and him rescuing them again with bb8

 

No he says in the movie that "they had already been captured so what was the point in not doing it" or words to that effect. So he 'betrayed' only after Phasma and co had already captured them. As someone said above he gave them the rebel plan, but when you catch them trying to disable the tracking device I think the plan is already obvious?

 

I thought the master codebreaker in the casino looked familiar but I didn't realize it was Justin fucking Theroux

 

Immediately took me out of the movie.

 

my friend reaaaally thought that the code breakerwould end up being Lando. I didnt have the heart to tell him that it was confirmed that there would be no such appearance, but also realized what a possible missed opportunity that might have been.

 

Something I didn’t understand:

Luke was gonna go burn that tree and those books until Yoda (groan) shows up. Then Yoda burns them himself and Luke is all pissed at him. Dude, isn’t that what you were just gonna do?

 

Real talk tho: Laura Dern doing a hyperspace kamikaze is the best moment from any movie this year

 

1. Thank God. This really hit me hard especially Luke saying those we lose are never really gone. Talking about Han Solo and Carrie Fisher and I was in tears. and i am jsut writing this (god im a nerd)
2. Yup. Nailed it. Taoism. Balance. Loved it. Couldve used more and a reference to the journal of the whills wouldve been nice but im satisfied.
3. YUP. Luke vs. Rey. Luke vs. Kylo. Never seen before and proved his power. I was expecting him to do grandiose things but his finesse was something I didnt expect.
4.Nope. But it made sense with Snoke in the beginning saying he was wrong about him. Although why in TFA did he say he needs to finish his training? w/e.
5. YYYYYUUUUUUPPPPPP and in the best way. I loved that he being the grandmaster of the Jedi was the one to say the Jedi was over and burn the bridge.
6. Nope. Kind of bummed by Phasma honestly. Her and Holdo were let downs in my opinion. Im glad she at least handley beat Finn easily and only went out by a cheap shot. Im glad we got to see a bit of her face, but still a let down.

Still 4/6 for things I wanted to see is really awesome. Thanks Rian Johnson for being able to see the future when I wrote that comment and incorporating those things in the movie jsut for lil ol me

 

I really shouldn't be in this thread since I'm not seeing this til tomorrow afternoon but just had to say this... After the world premiere and advance screenings, the user reviews on IMDB were glowingly positive... now all of a sudden all the top reviews are between 1/10 and 3/10 God that community is so trash sometimes. I'm sure the movie is genuinely divisive but I do not believe for one second that it's THAT bad.

 

It’s a very very good movie with some glaring holes and weird moments.

 

Its a very very bad movie with some redeeming qualities.

 

Also begs the question to me though for things like the Death Star or any other major ship, why can't you just do that every time? You don't even need a human in it, could surely just put a droid in a ship and get them to send it into light speed through the death star or whatever? Tear the whole thing in two.
Man I'm really shitting on every aspect of this film. Time for bed, it's almost 5am. Tomorrow I will try to focus on the positives haha

 

Welcome to this thread. It immediately went to like 30% like 70% dislike.

 

My initial reaction is that I really liked this, with some of the same caveats others have mentioned.

Besides the throne room scene, I think my favorite scene was Rey underneath the island. The visual style and the surreal weirdness of it were exactly what I was hoping for from a Rian Johnson Star Wars movie.
Also, one of the many trailers before my 2D showing played in 3D for no apparent reason. Obviously just a theater error but everyone around me was very confused.

 

Do you realize the implication of that though. Its easy to say youre going to do somethign and have the impulse, but in the end youve spent your whole lifetime attached to a set of beliefs and spent years working on tat philosophy. That was the history of the Jedi. Yoda burning that was the ultimate sign of a true master of the force because he has no attachment to the religion of the Jedi anymore, which was the problem with the old Jedi in the first place probably why Luke failed.

Lukes apprehension was natural. He showed his attachments and fear throughout the movie. He showed his human side still. If he wouldve done it and shown that much confidence I think it wouldve clashed just a little with the character in this movie personally. Otherwise he couldve just done it a long time ago.

 

might wanna spoiler tag that

 

@Dodger spoiler tag that last post please

 

gah fuck sorry guys. I was in the zone.

 

”read them did you? Page turners they are not.”had me dying though.

 

Rey saved the books tho

 

Nobody has mentioned that final scene yet. did that little kid force grab that broom?

 

I guess the only question I have now is: After TLJ, What is your current hype level for Rian Johnson's spin-off trilogy? (I know he's likely only directing the first one)

 

Yes

 

Yes. You might say... The Force Awakens.

 

Oh I didn't realise that at the end
