After that we get the ex stormtrooper chick who is also ends up with nothing. Just take out Rose and that other chick and either build Rey and Fin together or just let them be best friends platonic. Either of these I'd been ok with and expected it but they messed up there. Fin was so cool in TFA man it's so sad.

In episode 9 rey couldve gotten stronger by then and beats kylo ren then once and for all. But nope lets make palpatine return somehow literally and make him related to rey cuz why tf not.

    You missed one of the biggest problems right at the beginning. The opening crawl says that Palpatine broadcast a message to the universe saying that he’s back and he’s more awesome than ever. But then the entire opening sequence is Poe and Finn (and Klaud) are racing to deliver a spy report… that Palpatine came back.
    The entire opening is made completely pointless from the opening crawl.

    Kylo Ren should’ve been the one who survives at the end of this trilogy. It was what I expected since Force Awakens. It was clear they were attempting to subvert and reinvent the philosophy behind The Force. By having a character who takes the dark side and combines it with the light side of the force, in essence creating a whole new understanding of the Jedi religion, it would’ve been the perfect ending to the entire saga. Their first mistake was appointing Kennedy to oversee the trilogy. Their second was getting JJ Abrams to direct any of these movies. As much as everybody claims Rian Johnson destroyed the franchise. It was JJ who fucked it from the outset. They should’ve got Lawrence Kasdan and Dave Filoni to write the outline for the trilogy with Lucas acting as a consultant. Having JJ end Force Awakens on a cliffhanger that needed an immediate payoff in the next movie truly hamstrung Johnson. Who the fuck ends the first movie on a cliffhanger? Every installment, including Empire Strikes Back ends in such a way that the next movie could start at any place or anytime, whether it’s years later or months later.

Make character try to admit their feelings but never do it (I though Finn would say he loved Rey, not being force sensitive. And most of all, randomly redeeming your bad guy with no build up (he literally spends the first 2 movies falling to randomly 180 in this movie), fall in love with the girl and then sacrifice himself.

The original script had the Resistance take back Coruscant from the First Order. That would have tied the whole saga together, got those cheers in the theaters and make the final duel so much cooler.

This would explain why she's so naturally gifted, how she knows how to intuitively perform a jedi mind trick, why Luke's lightsaber called to her, why her Force-back starts in the corridor on Cloud City, why there's a zoom in on Luke's robotic hand in the force back, why she feels compelled to find Luke.

      Then in the sequels, they are awakened and commanded by Vader's grandson, but the good guys eventually deactivate the mind control chips, and the Knights of Ren turn on Kylo.
      That would be a good way to connect things, and allow some of the Rogue One cast to return.
      They'd have some Winter Soldier-ish guilt and a drive to redeem themselves.
      Also, the "ghoul" line would make a bit more sense, if they were basically killed and brought back through tech, to serve Vader.

      @Silver-gu8zd 2 года назад +11

      Personal headcanon after TFA was that I thought the Knights of Ren were what happened to children kidnapped by the First Order to be stormtroopers who happened to be force sensitive. Because why wouldn’t they test for that?
      Ben Solo wanting to end the dogma of the Jedi and Sith. They’re a new order of darksiders led by him and forcibly made into cyborgs in the image of Vader, who he hero worshipped, to invoke pain and fear.
      Faceless and without on-screen individualism but still a constant threat. More loyal than Sith but solely because they’re willing to die for his cause: bringing peace to the Galaxy through totalitarian order. Star Wars Nazgûl.
      Instead we got whatever this was. I stand by that the sequels should have just taken the best parts of the stories of Jaina and Jacen Solo and used those as inspiration without the bad writing baggage.

    Among the many plot holes in this movie, the one that angers me the is most when Finn tells Rey he needs to tell her something and then it's never brought up again. Although it's a seemingly minor issue, I think it says a lot. THEY introduced it. THEY could have wrapped up with a throwaway line. THEY could have cut it out entirely. The sheer LAZINESS is such a spit in the face to fans. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but this trilogy made me upset for true fans. Fans of anything never deserve garbage. It's so disappointing.

    • @Riprake
      @Riprake 2 года назад +4

      In retrospect, I could go either way on that. Whether Ben was redeemed or not and whether he lived or died, what's important is: *this should have been HIS movie.* Having Palpatine put in a cameo appearance (in a flashback, which was what I figured was going to happen when one of the teaser trailers featured a recording of him laughing at the end) would have been fine, but what I wanted to see was what the First Order's new Supreme Leader Kylo Ren actually had planned for the galaxy once he'd conquered it. TFA had him trying (and failing) to be Darth Vader, TLJ had him giving up on trying to be Darth Vader and thereby succeeding where he'd failed (i.e. killing his master and seizing the throne from him), and TROS should therefore have been about whether Darth Vader's plans for ruling the galaxy (now that his grandson had effectively implemented them) had any merits to them.
      It could still have ended with the good guys winning and overthrowing his tyrannical rule (because yeah, tyrants with good intentions are still tyrants). In my version of the story, the end would have Rey sitting on his throne mourning the late Ben Solo's death while stroking her swollen midsection (very visibly pregnant with his child) and telling Poe Dameron that for all the horrible things he did as Kylo Ren, he wasn't entirely wrong, and the galaxy really *does* need a new form of government. While how they actually plan to achieve this would have to be left a bit vague (i.e. she calls everyone together to draft a new Constitution, but we're not shown what actually happens at that convention), it would at least tie up all the political threads every movie in this franchise (including the actual TROS) left hanging.

The flash back where she's reaching out and calling out to them - imagine that that memory was always cut short and blocked out, and only now after killing chewie (committing to that death) does the rest of that memory come back. The memory of her reaching out and as a child, shooting force lightning out of her hands and accidentally killing her parents. That could have been very interesting. I still think her being a palpatine is the dumbest thing ever. That just would have made it infinitely less dumb.

      Well first off that weird guy that gave her food on Jakku was dragging her away, and if he'd seen her just blasting a ship, she wouldn't have lived like she did in the force awakens. Also the film wants to state that where you come from doesn't limit you to what you could become. And her blasting her parents away would sort of suggest that she's destined to become a dark side force user. But actually I think it would've made sense to make her the antagonist since Disney obviously wanted to prevent under all costs to make Kylo Ren the main antagonist of the trilogy. So why bother bringing someone into the game that was never even mentioned but rather work with what you got? Well the trilogy just sucked all along cos the first film wasn't even that great. It was the best of the 3 by a country mile, but it wasn't good either

Sure you'd probably have to make Kylo Ren/Ben Solo the protagonist and that is sort of boring because he is the ancester of the heroes of the past, but it's 100 million times more interesting than what they ultimately did which is take the idea of the originals and give them other names and new faces, but get them through the same plot on the same planets because it has worked once before, so why wouldn't it work this time right?

    I always found it weird that Kylo ditches his cross guard saber in this movie. That Lightsaber is like the most important object in the entire trilogy. It was the first 'new' thing shown back in the original force awakens trailer and both Rey and Kylo were seen using it. Considering in the current canon you get a white lightsaber (typically associated with force users who are not jedi or sith) by purifying a red lightsaber, I thought for sure that if Kylo was going to have a redemption arc he would purify his saber to show that he does want to be redeemed.
    Then if you go down the route of killing off Kylo while doing the whole Reylo thing, you could have Rey bury the Luke and Leia's sabers but then keep Kylo's saber as a sort of symbol of her having a part of him with her and in turn using a weapon of evil for a new purpose, to bring a new light.

    I can't believe they never had a plot for Finn in this movie, when they literally had a line about recruiting more child soldiers. How in the world do you not connect the two? Can't you just have that as his plot, deprogramming other storm troopers? That's what I've been saying they could have him do with him trying to get to the comms relay in the finale! Trying to convince other storm troopers to defect, as opposed to having a random cavalry charge would have made waaaaay more sense.

    It’s so sad to see the arc of Darth Vader, dying to save his son from Palpatine and therefore culminating the prophecy and bringing balance to the force, all thrown away because somehow the emperor is back and now Rey is the chosen Jedi the prophecy spoke about? That throws away the most beautiful arc in cinema to the trash, and it hurts me so much.

      "Somehow palpatine returned" is terrible because its the script writer telling the audience that he could not think of a reasonable explanation as to how Palpatine survived not only being thrown into the Death Star core but also survived the Death Star exploding into dust. so he just tells us to not think about it.

  • @SiroBenju

    Dude! When you talked about Rey having to take down all six Knights of Ren, I just envisioned a single long-take of her working up through the First Order Command Center or something, having to fight off each knight in turn as she advances, facing the first few on pretty even footing, but eventually wearing herself out, and having to resort more and more to cleverness, deception, and wits to barely squeak by on the last one. Hell, she could've even inadvertantly tapped into some dark side energy or techniques, out of pure desperation to survive (plays on her tendency towards the dark side mentioned in Last Jedi). By the time she reaches Kylo, neither we nor her have any idea how she's going to possibly survive the fight!
    But naw, long takes require effort, and skill, and passion, and J.J. Abrams had none of that to give.
