There's no law in Hollywood or in the Star Wars universe that dictates her gender, unless you know otherwise.
"I saw hundreds of men openly loving deeply flawed projects like Stranger Things, Deadpool, and the Blade Runner remake. "
Blogger hasn't got a clue what's going on.
What's heroic about watching half of your fleet being decimated while your crew mutinies?
I'm 45. Old enough to watch the originals when they were first released in the cinemas.
Pretty much everyone I grew up with followed Luke's character arc. There's a lot of character building for him and the story around him. There's a lot of narrative spread across the original trilogy; even more if you include the references back to the Clone Wars. All 3 movies have aged well, IMHO, storywise and effects.
TFA brought in a lot of potential for stories. Rey's natual ability with the Force, being the obvious one. Then there's Snoke, Phasma and Finn's back stories, Kylo Ren... there's a whole load of foundation stones on which to build a great story. And then TLJ came along and pissed it all away, replacing it with a check-list of what should go into a SW movie without adding anything new.
Once creativity runs out in a franchise runs out, all the movies suck. Look what happened to Alien and Terminator. Superhero movies are heading the same way fast. I'll be skipping the Han Solo movie, and I certainly won't be watching the sequel to TLJ until the public reviews are in.
Disney's "Wish upon a star" wasn't it?
It would be useful if he could just materialize into, say, the engine room of a Star Destroyer and start hurling lightning around there.
Space Leia repaired the bridge on the way back in so Purple-hair lady could use the hyperspace later in the movie.
I was struggling to stay awake at this point.
It started off badly for me with Domhnall Gleeson's horrible hammy acting, comparable to that of Travolta in Battlefield Earth. Too many cringeworthy moments to mention, but the scene in the casino when some character starts stuffing coins into BB-15 I thought, 'WTF has this got to do with anything???' and then that whole sub-plot just branches off on some random tangent. Congratulations to Finn and Rose for pissing off the galaxy's rich list. I'm sure that will help the cause.
On a side note, if the can be tracked through hyperspace, why didn't the fleet just disperse? The flagship couldn't possibly track all ships though all locations of the galaxy at once now, could it?
"Houston, do you have a problem with us?"
Remember folks, after all the events of Episodes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and Rogue one, after all the efforts of the good guys and they still managed to get themselves reduced to piloting rocket-powered ice skates.
I didn't.
All that's missing is a wand, an unusual oversight from Disney. Then she can wave it at C3PO and turn him into a real human being.
Horrible. Watch Ben Kenobi in ANH when he realizes hist past is catching up on him. Ahem, Luke was there. Now watch the same Luke decades later when he realizes hist past is catching up on him. Quite a difference.
Lol! Imagine Kylo returning after the attack on the rebels.
I did not shoot her it's not true! Its bullshit I did not hit her! (Throws down lightsaber) I did naht. Oh hai Phasma.
I think he's going to clean up the Sith once and for all.
Good point, although it does seem odd something mechanical can vanish that way.
Which raises the question, will he have his original hand back should he return as an apparition, in the same way Annakin appeared (i.e. not looking like Vader) ( and before Lucas replaced that actor with Hayden) ?
Ah.. at the end of the movie. His cloak blows away in the wind, but his hand?
Successful, your prediction was.
BOMojo reports it pulled over 7 1/2 million on the opening weekend. Your link gave a third of that for *gasp* one day.
