Thought he was going to block all the lasers or pull rocks to build a wall as he was being shot at

maybe they could have a dearth vader droid - that can somehow take jedi's abilities to use the force for itself

Anyway, they don't need Luke. They have Leia. She can apparently fly and come back from the dead.

And Rey is so strong she doesn't even need lessons.

Im not really sure where the storyline will go from here

It doesnt even seem like the rebels have a chance anymore

No republic, no allies, no fleet, no leadership

I imagine it will be something about her parents

I don't even want to see it. My friends will drag me to it and I'll have to smile and try not to ruin their fun.

I heard they're trying to get a role for Lando somehow.

but hes an iky man ... far too much toxic masculinity already

Lando has privilege points now.

I really dont want to accept that explanation for the writing, yet I cant think of any evidence that contradicts it

Perhaps solo will have some male positive actions in it

Well, you have Finn and Poe left. Finn is mostly characterized by running away and being wrong. Poe is mostly characterized by disobeying and getting people killed.

Poe is pretty much guaranteed to die.

He has no love interest, no real reason to be kept around. His death would be a useful plot device.

So they could have him do something self-sacrificing, or have him die due to betrayal.

But he's a dead man walking.

And Finn's role in the next film is to realize that he's only infatuated with Rey and actually loves Rose. And he'll show this in some climatic scene by repeating the words Rose told him at the end of TLJ.

wait rose is trans in canon?

I think he was joking, but who knows at this point.

The surname of the actress is Tran

i dont actually think she should have been harrassed for this movie, its easy to blame the actors for the way a movie is but its not correct

Of course she shouldn't be harassed.

i believe the director/writer should be HEAVLY critisized till the day he dies, but also not harrassed

The people doing the harassing are extremely immature and are basically throwing a childish tantrum because they can't think of a constructive outlet for their anger.

There's nothing wrong with being angry that something you love is being ruined, but it needs to be channeled in a constructive way. Tons of people have produced videos or written articles explaining all the problems with the movie, and that's completely legit.

But harassing someone who had basically no hand in causing the problem? Completely stupid.

This is the problem with the internet. It is not harassment she was getting. If 10,000 people each decide to send you a message telling you what a prick you are, you are not being harassed. It seems like it from your end but from the people sending the message they have only sent one message. Any ideas on how the square that circle?

Don't use your real life identity online? Dropping pseudonymity from the internet was a mistake.

That's not going to work if you are already in the public eye and even if you are anon have a tirade of ppl sending you messages can make your accounts nearly use able.

Perhaps develop a thicker skin?

Basically.

Not allow the opinions of random people on the internet to influence your state of mind/opinions on things?

If you're putting yourself out in public with millions and millions of people looking at you, then you need to be able to deal with the fact that at least some of those millions are assholes.

If you can't deal with that, don't go online with your real identity.

Given the population of the world and internet connectivity, you probably have to be willing to put up with at least a million people hating your guts

Especially if you're a public figure or celebrity.

The whole point of pseudonymity is protection. Protecting your real life from online assholes.

Now that we've abandoned that paradigm in favor of using your actual identity online, you can either learn to deal with assholes yourself, or get censorious.
