that's the problem with this mess. the more you think about it, the more it makes less and less sense.

and the harder it is to enjoy. this thing contradicts it's self so many times. ugh.

Another thing that jumped out on me. Just how many languages does rey know? she knows droid. she knows wookie. anything else? smh...

just the obvious ones for now..

'The Jedi must die'. 'Rey will not be the last Jedi'.

'I must destroy the jedi texts... i'm going to end it.. ' 'The Jedi texts, I've got to save them!'

'I HATE YOU!' 'There is good in Ben....(I've seen him with his shirt off, worth a shot)'

'I won't Train you...' 'Three lessons'.

'I won't go to fight with a laser sword' 'changes mind and fights with a laser sword'.....

finn Learns to stay and fight in first movie. Runs away first chance he gets in second.


just a few off the top of my head.
get whiplash trying to figure out character motivation here.

None of those are contradictions. Some of them are changes in opinions and motivations of characters.

You're also wrong on a lot of things. He never says Rey will not be the last Jedi. He says the Jedi won't die with him. Luke decides to train her after R2's message. Rey hating Ben but sensing good in him is no different than Luke and Vader. Luke never actually fought with a laser sword. Finn never learned that in the first movie - he only wanted to save Rey and was nearly killed. He tried to run away at the beginning of this one to get to Rey.

Just because you don't like things in the movie it doesn't mean they don't make sense or contradict earlier things.

So basically, mary sue confirmed by mary sue herself.. smh. It's hard to root for a 'perfect' character like that...

I'm curious how digital sales are doing. more rentals than buys? or people putting their money where their keyboard fingers are and not buying?

Don't you have to pay to rent too?

I thought she was 'too good' and that didn't appeal to me, not with everything though, there are things she would have learned from her circumstances like the fighting in general and she isn't the only character to pick up droid and wookie language after being around them. It was the force side of things, like she'd could easily just be a jedi with little training...but maybe that is where they want to take the story, that some are that way, can't tell at this point.

yep, but it's usually less. 1.99$ or so for about 24 hours.

Man, that headline is stupid. She doesn't say Rey has no weaknesses, especially not in a "she's perfect" way. Her comments are basically her own views on humanity and how things typically called weaknesses in people aren't, in part because people can change and work on things. She's basically talking about human growth and character growth in stories.

I mean half of what you posted wasn't accurate so they wouldn't even apply to your thinky veiled problems.

Vegita-san doesn't care, he does this all the time. There's a difference between not liking a movie and then harping on about it over and over and then coming up with bizarre conspiracy theories behind the people who made it and what goes on in the movie. Then when people try to point out his own hypocrisy, he goes on a tangent or just laughs it off. He does this all the time.

Now this is fun - if you register your copy of the movie with "Movies Anywhere" (which I guess is Disney's streaming service), if you play the movie through there you'll have the option to hear John Williams's isolated score (music only!).

You can't download the music or whatever, but there are other parts of the Internet for that.

The more I think about this movie, the more I hate it.

I love the message it's hammering home ("Let the past die.") but I hate the story it tells to say it. I think it's a poor choice to choose the second movie of a trilogy to take that stance.

I don't know that I've ever seen a better example of a pot calling the kettle black.

That comparison to a bitter EX? Only gets more and more real time passes
