They traveled pretty quickly across that open terrain pretty well, considering their condition.
I thought Kylo Ren nailed it in TLJ. I didn't like him in TFA and I hated nearly everything about TLJ except Kylo. He is a legit villain to me now. The problem is that Mary Sue came along and already beat him in TFA so there is no suspense at all about how this is gonna end up. I honestly have no idea and don't care.
TFA was amazing imo until the end,and TLJ was ok but the luke thing is taking along time to grow on me.
I think the director should not of been the director.

Respect your fellow users (and Yoda), help improve the game and have a great day!
it would be hard to watch the originals but they could create a great starwars universe bigger and better and have better time lines in the movies
yes thats how happy i am about the new movies
I still believe that Kylo will go Jedi and Rey will turn to the Dark side, maybe then we could see a different ending for the first time in Star Wars. (Hence they both sensed each other turning sides)
BUT NO.It hurts because these new Star Wars movies arent supposed to be enjoyed by the "old" fans, rather bring the next generation to this saga.You can tell that they managed that, based on the merchandise they are selling (unfortunately thats what they only want).The new Star Wars is kids toys and "Force is Female" propaganda to attract people a action space opera movie shouldn't.
I think that this Trilogy should've focused on the original concept of Star Wars without the need to attract to kids, instead they could differentiate the "feel" with the new trilogy-series.

Be it the open ending of ROTJ; JarJar Gate or even that the original film was laughed at pre-lauch as being far fetched fairy Tale!
The haters will always be louder and get the air time - influencing people expectations.
Many people just don't like change and TLJ has a lot of that. It needs to, there is only one film left and TLJ builds towards that.
Plus the demographics are so wide - Star Wars is after all a Children's/Family film.
TLJ left nothing to care about in episode 9.
There is no credible threat, we've already seen Rey smash crylo.
The FO is more inept than the Gungan Grand Army.

Rogue One is great, Gareth Edwards is a true SW Fan, not like Rian!
True star wars fan's are a hard nut to crack
They don't sell out
All they want is a propa movie / story
With all the law and legends and myth of the star wars galaxy
Maybe it's just me
but they lost the plot to make a quick story for a quick buck
I do love star wars
I hope they don't tarnish it with the same brush
The ST has just been the typical Hollywood trash reboot.

After the special editions and the prequel trilogy, Star Wars was dead to me between 2005 - 2015.
The case against the prequels is well known and is all over the internet. I won't go into that as I'm sure you have heard it all before.
In 2015 the nostalgia of Han and Leia got me back into Star Wars with TFA.
However especially after TLJ, I'm now just as invested in the new characters as I am the old.
For me the strength of the sequels definitely lie in the cast/characters/script.
However the sequel trilogy has made me reappraise one aspect of the prequels - and that is Lucas's world building and ambition. It was incredible.
The sequel trilogy lacks that ambition and just recycles the empire vs rebels context of the OT with familiar looking places and planets.
So in that respect, if you don''t get anything from the characters in the sequel trilogy, then I can totally understand why there is nothing in them for you.
90% of thread - I don't, It's terrible.
*sigh*
Shut up Bfloo
The Gungan Grand Army was a legit fighting force. Jar Jar destroyed Jedi Killer Droidekas that Jedi ran from with his FEET
And OOM-9 still beat them
So shut up about your soft Anti-OOM-9 propaganda
Watch this
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
Okay
This man make good point and good video
OOM-9 is still in the Top 5 best tacticians in the Saga
TLJ I didn't like very much at all. The political narratives jumped out at me in a really obvious way. The entire premise mirrors the intention of some on the modern left: tear down the old and rebuild.
Take Poe. He's basically the same archetype as Han. Good looking, brash, forceful, and charming. He's a very masculine character.
From the first scene we get a lesson that these characteristics are bad and toxic. His risk taking costs lives. Then when he comes up with his plan to aid the escape, a plot that is as star wars as you can get, it fails completely. Again because cause he was being a risk taker and too aggressive. Lesson learned is don't be like this.
Rey on the other hand is like a goddess. When learning to handle to force Luke is blown away when she accesses the dark side. But notice she's able to control it no problem. All the hate and aggression isn't a problem for Rey. She accepts it as part of the force and is basically immune. Unlike Luke who had to struggle with it. That's because the dark side is basically masculinity in this movie.
Also notice how all the protagonists are female and they serve as confident voices while the men are all messed up. When Finn visits the casino he thinks it's great but then Rose explains why capitalism is really bad and sets him straight. Silly risk taking Finn.
Then there is also the issue with abandoning the simple good versus evil narrative that has been present in stories literally for thousands of years. Like in the scene where the stuttering thief, forgot his name, explains to Finn that good and evil isn't clear cut. It doesn't exist. The world is shades of gray. Which is true however we don't need that in a star wars movie. Star wars should be black and white with chances for redemption. It should be drawing on the same cultural narratives that have been with us for so long.
I could go on but I think you get the idea. If you know much about modern left wing politics you'll know these are the narratives you find there. Now maybe that is very star wars itself, the first movies did have a self saving princess, and maybe I'm just getting too old. Either way it turned me off the movie and I expect the next will be even worse.
It saddens me further still that TLJ has managed to leave me with not even a sliver of interest in seeing what Episode 9 brings. The bad guys are entirely incompetent to cringe worthy levels, the good guys aren't at all compelling and now consist of something like a couple dozen people if that in what feels like a very empty universe, it seems like they're just turning the force into something anyone can use if they will it hard enough which is pretty dull, a lot of what the previous movies set up has been knocked down and replaced with nothing in its stead other than a poor rehash of much the same thing.
But hey at least some people enjoy it I suppose.
Ehh but he did try in a way to kill him at first he tells rey he didn't but it later reveals he was going to kill him, and that's not luke. Not to mention him cutting himself off from the force and leaving to never return then why make a map and really leave to never come back and help han/leia/chewie your family and friends and the galaxy that you did everything to save, I'm sorry but that's not my luke skywalker.
This is probably the most accurate statement in this thread. I know there will be a few people who don't fit this but it is essentially true.
I'm old enough to have seen the original movie about 12 times in the theaters back in 1977. For me, the franchise took its downturn with ROTJ, when Lucas took a human-centric universe and went alien-crazy in order to sell toys. The remasters were another step in the wrong direction, adding emphasis and scale where it did not belong. For example, Tatooine was meant to be as back-water as it comes. Mos Eisley was a tiny settlement on the most indignificant of planets. The remasters turned ME into a major spaceport... on a still useless planet - and suddenly Greedo is shooting first.
The prequels were a major let-down, with irrational plot points that essentially further eroded the mythos set up in the Episodes 4 and 5. Now not only is Mos Eisley a major spaceport on an insignificant planet, but we get Pod-racing going on here as well - which might have been fine as a sort of back-woods racetrack approach, but instead we get the grand scale of it. We had absurd scenarios portrayed clearly visualized for video game integration (pod-races, droid factory, speeder chase through Coruscant, lava on Mustafar, etc.) - you watch these things and feel the joystick/keypad control moves. We are given Jar-Jar. We are given Anakin building C-3PO?! We are given Ben spending years with R2-D2 but somehow not remembering owning a droid. Chewbacca can't just have been a smuggler - let's give him backstory as a Wookie General before somehow falling into obscurity with Han Solo. So important! Nobody can be average.
So, yeah, it is refreshing that Rey might actually be a force-sensitive nobody. Maybe we can get back storylines like the border farmboy who suddenly is thrust into an epic galactic conflict and can make a difference - because ultimately we as viewers (especially the 12-15 year old viewers) can relate to that bored farmboy in our own lives, and the dream that we can make an impact. That was the spirit of Star Wars before commercialism overtook Lucas' vision.
Mos Eisley was never in The Phantom Menace.
The name of the place is Mos Espa.
When darkness rises, light rises aswell to counter it and vice versa. Both Snoke and Luke say this.There must always be a balance in the force.
So basically when Kylo started to become strong so was Rey to counter the darkness. Rey had some previous training with melee weapons and Kylo was kinda out of balance when he was defeated the first time.
But in The Last Jedi we see that both now are equal in strength when they were both force pulling Rey's lightsaber. The light side of the force awoke in Rey because the dark side awoke in Kylo. It's the eternal battle between light and dark.
This pretty much explains why Rey is able to be on par with Kylo. But then rises the issue why Luke wasn't already strong without jedi training in the original trilogy. I think that Luke wasn't the opposite of Darth Vader like Rey is to Kylo. Luke wasn't the opposing light side of the force to counter Vader's dark side. It was Vader against Anakin. Vader was redeemed at the end. He was the balance all along just like the prophecy predicted.
This Is the concept of the force and I think the new trilogy portrays this in a good way and that's what I like about it.
Buuut there are things that I don't really like especially with the Last Jedi. The forced dumb humor, Rose character, Leia flying through space, the pointless main plot which is basically chasing though space for 2 and a half hours, Canto casino scene with the horses...
Let's just see how JJ will end the trilogy and then we can discuss this more in detail
I think people just happy they got a Star Wars movie after Years. For most expectations were low, they just wanted to Star Wars again.
However as more movies are being mass produced by Disney people are leaving more and being bothered by terrible writing. For example:
Force Awakens had far better reviews and Sold Tickets twice the times of the Last Jedi. This is despite the fact that Force Awakens was pretty much as trash as Last Jedi if not worse.
However as Last Jedi came people already had their crave for Star Wars and wanted a good movie. This is were they started to realize the rushed and unorganized writing and got annoyed by it.
I think the parallels are that Rey and Luke grew up in isolation and that personality type and environment makes it easier to be one with the force.
If you have the Force and you grow up on the downtown east side, yeah, you aren't going to be virtuous.
Add me (xbox Oregon server) if you like
But Ackbar was male. We need tall strong female roles. Ackbar would have been the perfect choice.
Scene: Ackbar turns the ship towards the enemy
Line: "Prepare for my trap, darkness will fall."
Add me (xbox Oregon server) if you like
I think its a terrible explanation. If thats the case, why did Luke need the training he received - surely he should have been on a par with Vader and Emperor from the off?
Or the prequels - I understand that the Jedi Order was around at this point obviously and well outnumbered the Sith. But Anakin, as the chosen one, recieved years of training on Coruscant, but was still initially defeated by Dooku. How come he wasnt instantly as powerful as Sidious, or even Dooku or Maul?
But now suddenly the force brings balance on its own and makes someone equally as powerful as their opposite without training? It just brings into question why it never happened in the first place.
Yes!!
Exactly, without the starwars stamp they’re a total **** imo, forgettable movies with no rewatch value. EmoRen as the main villain, lmao, and to think, people talked about a whiny Anakin lol. SuperRey has already smoked GothcEmo in every fight so what’s left? I think everyone’s pulling for EmoRen at this point. They’re just bad movies imo.
I could have written that more clearly. I was more referencing Tatooine's place in the SW universe.
I'm sorry that all you got out of my post was an opportunity to try to nit-pick.
imagine for a second if they actually did use the EU for their movies, and we would get:
the emperor coming back to life
no thicc kylo ren
every other episode would have a new superweapon, i.e. world devastators, the galaxy gun, nightcloak, abeloth
chewie would get smashed by a hecking moon
the rebellion would still be using the old x wings because the writers dont like new things
tyranids
among other arguably trash things.
Basically it doesn’t feel like Star Wars to me
That legitimately makes no sense at all. Why wasn't Anakin naturally this strong in order to counter Darth Sidious, the strongest Sith in history? I can take potential of course. That's why Anakin was such big news, he had the highest potential ever recorded in the Midi-Chloreans. but even that was no match for Dooku's decades of experience. Anything they say is nothing more then damage control for them playing left and loose over the Lore and paying no attention to it
That's like saying that because I'm good at boxing I'll be naturally good at Karate. Yes, my body will have stamina and strength built up but the techinques are different and on a totally different level. This is why most Boxers lose if they do Martial Arts and why most Martial Artists lose when they try and box. They may be similar but they are not applicable between each other
Sith and Jedi training is on a way different scale then just fighting some random hill-billies in the Desert
She basically became equal and arguably more skilled then a Dark Side user that had Jedi training, Dark Side Training, Master of a Dark Side Group, Skywalker, in the time span ooooooooofffffff
O N E W E E K
ONE BLOODY WEEK!
As with Rogue One and Ep 7, the kids and i watched all the movies in order chronologically and then watched Ep 8. Unlike Ep 7 and Rogue One where the kids wanted to go watch it again and make sure we get the dvd first day and watch it again, the kids didn't even want to watch Ep 8 again. My daughter asked what happened to Luke and my son just said the movie was stupid.
It's a Star Wars movie - that is the nicest thing i can say about Ep 8.
Well, one has everything to do with the other; and was a necessary portrayal.
"Let the HATE flow through you..."
He knew.
SW is I - VI and that is final!
Rogue One was excellent, more hot spin-offs please.
She seems to magically recieve important plot devices. I could see this
PLOT TWIST
Besides, Maz looks like the kinda creature to crawl out from the depths of Geonosis and run a cantina
run along to your safe space little one. suck your thumb and rock back and forth.
