Or maybe luke drinking alien breast milk.

Why does this specifically bother people so much

Wait til yall hear where milk millions of people drink daily comes from!

People seem to forget that Luke is a farmer. The space water cow thing is probably only the 5th grossest thing that Luke ever milked.

In the original canon Luke went on to become a master swordsman and once fought in a battle where he was able to force wield thirty lightsabers at once. But who would want to see that when we have old man tit milk.

I wonder how many onscreen lightsabers the human mind can handle before it tunes out and starts thinking about boobs. I'm thinking single digits.

With Carrie Fisher dying, yet Leia surviving, they now have to kill Leia offscreen between episodes 8 and 9, when she already had a perfectly satisfying death scene.


Well, she's still in 9 even without filming anything new.

But yeah, they had a good opportunity to maybe tweek their original plans for 8 after Fisher's death and kill her off there.

Luke went out on a high note.

Finn got his time to shine.

Kylo Ren showed how badass he was by killing Snoke.

There's just so much great about this movie.


Strongly Disagree.

Luke went out on in incredibly low note. His character was completely destroyed in the movie.
Finn didn't shine....at all... He needed to, but he didn't.
Snoke was a promising character whom Rian threw in the trash.
Leia flew through space.

So much more wrong with this movie

Weird thing is, with how useless she is in the remainder of the film, it feels like shw was originally going to die but when CF died, they reshot everything in honor of the actress or something. Of course, that would be impossible.

His death was meaningless. The scene was cool, but his actual death bought them like a few minutes. He was wasted along with Snoke. This guy in the OG movies who would rush in to save the day in the face of danger was turned into a coward, hiding away on an island, after giving up on someone he was training. He never even gave up on Darth Vader.

Character was destroyed, yeah.

Sounds like his job involves milking Tatooine. So that's at least one thing grosser than a space sea cow. What other creatures has he milked on his journey across the stars?

My advice to you is to engage with the well-formed arguments and ignore the silly, reductive ones.

Sadly, most of the pro-TLJ crowd props up the bad arguments to use as a strawman, while pretending the substantive arguments don't exist.

This isn't a major issue with the movie or anything, but I think this scene becomes frikkin hilarious when you remember how fast these ships are going.

(I mean I assume they're going fast because they're designed for interstellar travel and trying to outrun each other).

Once Leia starts flying back to the ship, she'd need to be traveling at a significant percentage of lightspeed just to catch up.

Idk imagining Leia turning into a Leia-shaped blur is funny to me.

It's several orders of magnitude better than the haters would have you think.

I honestly like it a lot. If you comb through the archives on the movies at the theater board, you'll see me defending it a bunch from people who either 1.) Didn't see it, 2.) Hated it on purpose, or 3.) Didn't "get" it.

I hate to claim #3, because it's a snobby cliche, but when people are just absolutely wrong about obvious implications/symbolism contained in the movie, to the point where they think it's a 'flaw' because they don't realize what's actually happening, what else can I say?

It's good character development for him to tske responsibility for his actions.


His plan was to try to get out of there and save the one he loved. That sweet sweet Rey. He is stopped from doing this by Rose, and is roped into the a hairbrained plan . Because Holdo will not tell the crew that plan exist . Note this is not about her keeping the details to herself, she hiding the fact that plan exist at all. Then when things hits the hand he tried to save everyone by stopping the laser. Just to be rammed b Rose who tells him. It is about saving who what we love. The thing that he was literally trying to do before hand. All for Luke to throw his life away.

RJ didn't like Finn and it was clear. He made a great arch in the first movie, he was running away at the start then he ended up facing down the biggest bad in the universe.

People have said that oh he only did that for Rey but not he is fighting for the rebels(they aren't rebels) but this doesn't add up. The only new information that he going about the good guys is that they by for shady arms dealers. He should have been less likely to want to help.
