I can't get over the ridiculous plotting of this absurd movie. And then the way the knife lined up with the wreckage of the Death Star from where Rey just happened to be standing. This is just plain idiotic storytelling.
share...the wreckage of the Death Star...
So many levels of idiocy. The multiple characters who say some variation of, "Palpatine is back... somehow." Lando Calrissian just shows up out of the blue. The fact that the ending of part nine is the same as the ending of part six (We killed the Emperor! The Rebellion/Resistance has won!). The fleet of Star Destroyers. A cavalry charge on the outside of a space ship without space helmets. It's astounding how ridiculous this film is.
shareWell I've never seen it but from what I've read and you've said I can believe it.
One thing I do hope this film has though is a truly stupid elongated exposition at the end along the lines of "Well that's it, Palpatine is truly dead this time", "But didn't we think that LAST TIME?", "Yeah but this time he definitely, DEFINITELY cannot come back because ... er ... well just because he cannot come back again!"...
That almost would have redeemed it, since at least then it would have appeared that they were self-aware about how preposterous and unnecessary the whole thing was. Almost.
share"A cavalry charge on the outside of a space ship without space helmets."
Um, they were in a planet's atmosphere, judging by the deep blue sky. But then, so was that massive good guy fleet spanning hundreds of miles, so that IS silly beyond belief.
I can't get over the way Rei became an expert one-man sailor to take a yacht to the wreckage across extremely rough seas despite being raised on a desert planet.
shareWhat you don't realize is what Disney was trying to project that Ray was raised in an OCEAN of sand and thus could be an expert sailor. I had to watch this film 10x to fully understand its meaning.
shareExactly ! Oh why oh why is a big budget stupid popcorn movie a big budget stupid popcorn movie !? I just don't understand it !!!
The original Star Wars films weren't just big budget stupid popcorn movies. They weren't Michael Bay films. The sequel trilogy films are indistinguishable from Michael Bay films with their incoherence.
shareLike a scene straight out of “The Goonies”. It was terrible. The whole knife thing was stupid to begin with.
Same for the “sith way finder” or whatever it’s called. Like something out of Harry Potter.
Same for now being able to use the force (I guess that’s the explanation) to pass a lightsaber to someone else. Like some teleportation shit.
Same for the magical healing powers.
Same for…on & on…
