The Last jedi

[3irty1]

Pretty much. And quantifying the force and thereby 'ranking' powers like some bad Yugio GX cartoon my kids would watch. "This kid's midichlorians count is higher than even master Yoda's! He also has a bigger penis."

P.S. if Vaders' midi count was higher than Yoda's, why didn't he wield the electric bolts like Yoda? See - all this wrangling leads you down the path of arguing over stupid and arbitrary power level crap. They killed the magic and mystery of the story. Also, Greedo shot first.

Its a well known sign of bad writing to tell rather than show so I'll have to agree with you about the force dick measuring contest. Its bad story telling although hardly a low point in the prequels. Canonically I have no problem with midichlorians.

Its clearly only a measure of potential rather than ability. I assume Vader's weakness to lightning has something to do with his reliance on a life support suit.

31, I assume you've seen the Red Letter Media reviews of Episode I and so on ("Mr. Plinkett"). They are NSFW vulgar and disturbing in part, but are right on the money.

Well, Episode 8 managed to put this final knife into ToysRUs. Aisles and isles of 150, 250 dollar pieces of crap that no kid wants to play with ever. Who wants to play with a Rey action figure that looks like Liam Neeson?

god that movie was awful, and now apparently they are putting it on plastic so people can watch it in their basements on this 4X crap whatever that is. Here's a clue - no amount of tech is gonna make up for crappy writing and plotting and people who never smile about anything ever - except maybe for stupid lame jokes that are totally inappropriate to the scene. And Red Sand - that was cool. Except it wasn't. P.S. Luke may have save the Jedi books, but they were actually Myst books about the D'ni. They are so boring that if any Jedis are left they will Hari Kari and let the remaining Snokes who haven't been split in two take over because - who wants to run this stupid galaxy anyway?

i didn't hate it as much the second time

but it was still pretty corny and shit on a lot of things

there was just an interview with simon pegg where he mentions that JJ abrams DID have a plan for reys parents, but the new dipshit decided the everyone can use the force, and having the main starwars movies no longer be about the skywalker family

This new movie is gonna totally suck

But the latest installment, “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” due out May 25, upstaged them all when the production veered off the rails so spectacularly that it forced filming to grind to a halt after four months. With mere weeks left on the shooting schedule, producer Kathleen Kennedy fired directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and hired veteran Ron Howard to right the ship.

excellent review

Thanks. Ebert called me from the great beyond the other day. We're going to do a show.

It's hard to review a movie like this without spoilers, but just for you I'll give it a go.

Great action scenes, enough nods to the past movies without being over the top obvious. All of the vague stories Han tells in 4,5, and 6 are fleshed out. It is truly an origin story of Han Solo, from his time growing up, to meeting Chewie and Lando, to getting the Falcon. There was one gratuitous CGI scene that could easily have been left out.

All in all, great action film set in the Star Wars universe. I put it on par with Rogue One.

If there isn't a scene where Chewie literally pulls some guy's arm out of it's socket, the movie is a fail.

Like I said, spoilers.
