Maybe the Falcon crashed into something turning it into a squat version of itself. Kinda like how pugs are made by letting normal dogs run into walls.

Some things may have been established in TFA but there was no plan or outline for what was going to happen after. This comes from JJ Abrahms and Rian Johnson themselves. It seems to me JJ wanted to make a good intro movie for the trilogy with enough plothooks for the next director to work with...

You said that his definition of character development is different than what most people think it is. Which is not only wrong but an appeal to a majority opinion. We actually can deny their arcs exist because we are asked in this movie to follow the Hero's Journey of Rey, Ben and Luke but...

I agree that if you go into a movie expecting it to be something you're setting yourself up for disappointment. But for someone like me who has no reverence for the old movies and just goes into it expecting nothing more than to be entertained, it wasn't enjoyable. There were so many cool...

My criticism is leveled at the narrative failings. I'm not a fan of Star Wars who cares about the franchise. I've liked some of the Star Wars movies and didn't like others. But in this movie there are some choices for character and plot development that left me baffled. A ten year old will...

Whose speeder is this? It's a shuttle, baby. Whose shuttle is this? Snoke's. Who's Snoke?

But Snoke coming back wouldn't really be a twist because his ability to survive grievous wounds has only been established indirectly because of his scars. Unless it was all a big bamboozlin' and Snoke was just a force projection of Kylo and we had a sort of Fight Club-esque psychological...

For what it's worth, this is what Rian Johnson had to say about the planning: "I’m sure they talked about where it might go early on, but when they came to me there was no mapped story presented beyond TFA." and "We're not improvising it all on set. It is very carefully planned, but one piece...

She really is the definition of a Mary Sue. That doesn't make her less of an interesting character. I still enjoy watching her journey but would have liked her to explore more of it than was offered. I have to disagree with you on Finn. From everything I've learned about story telling, having a...

Either I'm being terribly incompetent in the English language or you've completely failed to understand what I said. But it's particularly poor form to put a sentence in quotation marks as if it's something I said. "I don't like her because she's too cool so I refuse to see anything positive...

Characters. I was talking about characters when I said they were in the same position as they were at the start of the movie. I don't know how you're reading into what I'm saying as to mean the specifics of the rebel fleet and their materials. I understand you disagree with me and feel that the...

Well, that would be completely misrepresenting my position.

No, we didn't see different movies. We just have differing opinions on what significant means. Barring some minor changes, the characters and the story are still in the same position as they were before the movie started. Speaking of story. I personally feel that a convoluted chase throughout...

I'm trying to be as gracious as I can but I was actually bored watching this movie. And this is coming from someone who really enjoyed TFA and Rogue One. I can't be entertained by heroes who don't undergo any kind of real change or new understanding. There were some really cool scenes. Those...

We can't really require common sense to be a feature of Star Wars, a fantasy series. If we demand consistency from the battles, then why not just have kinetic weapons going at light speed? An X-Wing sized boulder going at several times the speed of light will likely do more damage than the...

From what I understand, they're going for a Saturday morning cartoon feel. Disney is making a streaming service and pushing for a shorter window between theatrical release and streaming availability. As short as two weeks. Coupled with the serial nature of the franchise, I wouldn't expect...

Doc Weirdo. Is that Dr. Strange's long lost brother, the zany veterinarian from Milwaukee?

I think he gets turned into a parademon.

In the Force Awakens trailers they put the focus on Finn and gave the impression that he was gonna be a Jedi. Here they give the impression that Kylo is going to kill Leia, but I don't think that's gonna be the case. I know they didn't have an outline for the two sequels ready when the Force...

I think they're doing the old switcherino like they did in the Force Awakens trailer.
