The whole ice cave thing was an improv because Mark got into a car accident, and ended up with a scar.

but

you telling me that TLJ couldn't even bother to mention something much more important than that?

the lightsaber pull wasn't a required part of that DKO

that didn't need to be there but it was

Ah yes, the famous forcefield Force move

they gave luke new powers without obvious foreshadowing

oh the noes

Pulling a light saber is a parlor trick.

whatever shall we do

https://youtu.be/vw7pcCj0ORk @King Canuck just go watch this mate

Yeah that force trick was absolute shit

your argument is shit
these videos will explain why

holy fuck why is it six hours

because it takes more time to unpack bullshit than it takes to say it

and he is unpacking a *lot* of bullshit

and longform is kinda his thing

that too

@nic schooling a nigga on why tlj is complete garbage I see

I prefer the term "native nabooian"

So one of the points in part 1 I already agree with, and have always agreed wiht

"why do we care about these sides?"

Rey can probably lift an entire planet with the Force by now```

Did anyone read Jedi Academy? Good trilogy right up to the end

At which point Mara Jade *force-pushes the entire Imperial fleet away from the planet they were attacking*

I've heard that the new between-lore has a bunch of cool stories about the new republic smushing what's left of the empire but having a hard time of it, allowing it to exist in pockets

and on how Leia's status as a politician of importance was shattered once the truth about her father was #Leaked by someone

I haven't heard much about Luke's new order, though.

Yeah, I think I would've much preferred a trilogy about the between-years, but ford, hamill, and fisher were too old for that

Regardless of the objective failures, though, I enjoy a good spectacle movie and TLJ and TFA had some great scenes that I can still enjoy.

IMO the one huge change that should've been made in TLJ is that

you can keep Holdo as this other general who's important

but let Ackbar do the suicide jump

It's a mon calamari ship ffs

*t h e n d o n ' t m a k e t h e m o v i e s*

Have him say that the resistance is surrendering, and spin the ship around to be boarded, but just as he's about to jump the first order computers detect that the ship's charging lightspeed

And if you wanna *do the thing*, have Hux say that it's a trap and then have Ackbar blow the snokemobile clean in half, down the middle

interesting point you raise

and maybe have the *whole thing* get destroyed as Rey and Kylo duke it out

Because the lore behind the 'new' universe helps to make sense of all the questions that were raised in the movies

Except you shouldn't need to know all that shit in order for the *films to make sense in the first place*

It's information that we needed *in* the movies, obviously.
