I saw an archive of the very primitive internet from 1983. It was a message board where people were reacting to the recently released RotJ and one of the complaints someone had was

"I didn't like the Emperor using the force to make lightning. There was nothing to indicate in the previous films that such a thing was possible"

Getting flashbacks to that ITT

Handwaving is not an explanation. They're legitimately stupid things. Could they pass physical items in TLJ or is that another thing this movie pulled out of its ass/got completely wrong?
You can see in their second force bond scene that when the connection is interrupted, Kylo has rain on his glove. The fact that he has rain from Luke Skywalker's hidden island on his glove from this force connection, if nothing else, sets up that shit can be transferred physically through this connection.

I absolutely think that the force connection shit is super forced and stupid, but at the bare fucking minimum, I think having Kylo Ren get some rain on his glove from TLJ is a set up to transferring shit through the force. It's bad, but it's not 100% uncharacteristic considering TLJ.

Rey and Kylo had a lightsaber battle through their force connection
That was also weird. Yet Kylo, despite being able to move around in their connected environment, wasn't aware of where she was until the Vader pedestal broke. Somehow Kylo was able to see that, then, but couldn't see anything else in her environment.

. I just wish Episode 8 wasnt such a train wreck
I dont understand how anyone can think this and like 9

8 had 3 problems. Luke's death, Leia's space walk, and keeping the plan a secret. And it set up a vastly more interesting universe where the force wasnt limited to bloodlines, everyone had it and anyone could be a hero.

9 creates more contradictory logic. Rey heals kylo from the same wound qui gon dies from. She can't sense chewie for the cheap emotional yank only to later sense him on a giant ship. Like you mentioned with the sand. The emporer entire plan...he needs Rey to kill her with hate then lol jk I'll just force suck you both because you're a diade or w/e fucking word they made up. And kerri Russell and robot fixer up merchandise machine escaping the planet when it was destroyed after she gave up her way off the planet. and if you hated the casino scene because it was "pointless"...the entire mcguffin chase is pointless, but actual pointless instead of serving character growth it existed because hey people liked chasing mcmuffins in end game right?

And Bringing back the emporer, in the fucking title crawl, is more moronic than everything combined in 8.

Now I fully agree that disney deserves 100% blame. Rian and jj should never have shared the trilogy. If jj did all 3 the trilogy would ve better. While I would have preferred rian to do episode 9 to finish what he set up. Using Luke's sacrifice to be the beacon call for the rebellion instead of having lando magically gather the entire galaxy at one single time for the cheap pop rip off of on your left. Letting reys parents...and grandpa be nobodies. Letting ben be the villain without relying on the ot.

Episode 9 looked at end game and went people liked that let's just copy it by loading this with fan service without understanding why the fan service worked in endgame.

I wish I saved the post when I said "Why does everyone want to see the Knights of Ren? They're never going to be characters. They're just going to be elite thugs that serve as video game bosses for the heroes."

And I was only slightly wrong.

Lots of media pushed Phasma but obviously she didn't pan out in a narrative sense.

She even has her own novel, which I've read. Solid 6/10.

Because, in star wars, not just anyone can use the force. You have to be force sensitive.
You realize these aren't contradictions right? That using the force and force sensitive is the exact same fucking thing?

How the fuck do you miss the point about it so much?

Im disappointed 9 went back to obsessing over bloodlines. 8 had the right idea of showing that the force will live on in others. Someone will always step up to the plate. The Skywalkers are not the end all be all.

But here comes 9 with fucking bloodlines

In response to all the Phasma posts, she was pretty much the ST's Boba Fett - looked cool to sell toys but hardly actually did anything in the movies but walk around looking cool and getting killed easily.

Why can't you since you still havent figured it out even when specifics are bolded and instead keep going on about shit no ones talking about.

Or keep missing the point and go step on that lego.

Again, explained in the movie. Rey and Ben have a unique bond in the Force that greatly strengthens their connection. Leia was also 53 years old and specifically said to be using the last of her energy to reach out.

Try paying attention, I know it's hard.
Yet in TLJ Snoke says that he set up the connection between Rey and Ben. Now in TRoS Palpatine says that he was behind everything, yet he had no idea about Rey and Bens connection. How could he not know about their diad if he himself set it up?

Snoke set up their initial communication. It didn't become a dyad until they bonded further. Dyads are a new concept and they're super rare and not just something you set up.

TROS says that Palpatine was Snoke. So it was Palpatine all along who created it

or something.

Not bothering watching this at this point.

Just one asspull after another it sounds like.

That's what it is. And fanboys are still defending it and paying Disney money for it.

Disney has an amazing business model where they can put out the shittiest movies and still have people dumb enough to go watch in droves.
