Movie: .. and then Rey takes Luke and Leia’s sabers to Tattooine.
Me: Why?
Movie: So their spirits will be home. You know, closure.
Me: Leia wasn’t from Tattooine.
Movie: ....
Me: Leia primarily remembered Tattooine as the place where she was a giant slug’s sex slave.

@MikeWeaver800 @HarryTHop @delance2 @KentCiao @bhiner1029 They also could have made the movie longer - or split it into two - if they needed more time! Or alternatively, taken another year once they realized they were changing scripts and directors.
@MikeWeaver800 @HarryTHop @delance2 @KentCiao @bhiner1029 Honestly, the real answer is that the movies either needed 3 different directors (like the original trilogy) to challenge and expand upon each other, or one director to coalesce around a single vision.
Movie: And now Palpatine will SHOOT ALL THE FORCE LIGHTNING AT THE SPACE BATTLE.
Me: Cooooooooooooool.
Movie: Yeah?
Me: Yeah. This looks really badass. Good job.
Movie: Thanks. We’re very proud.
Me: Aren’t most of the ships up there his own fleet?

Movie: Poe is VERY ANGRY with Rey.
Me: Why?
Movie: Rey didn’t come with him on his mission. She wanted to TRAIN. So lame.
Me: It was a space flight mission, Poe’s the best pilot in the galaxy, and he had Finn & Chewie. What exactly will she add?
Movie: VERY ANGRY! LOUD NOISES!

Me: Toxic fans are shithead.
Rando: How DARE you sir!
Me: How do you know I was talking about you?
Rando: Also, REAL fans don’t like The Last Jedi, SJWs ruined Star Wars, and Kathleen Kennedy deserves firing and/or death.
Me: I was talking about you.

Movie: Palpatine’s back!
Me: Sure. Brought back by Kylo through some ancient ritual?
Movie: No.
Me: Hux then? Meddling with things he doesn’t understand out of jealousy?
Movie: No.
Me: Snoke then? A last great project before his demise?
Movie: No, he’s just kinda been around.

Movie: And in an epic moment of decision, Kylo TURNS TO THE LIGHT!
Me: Yeah?
Movie: First thing he does is THROW AWAY HIS LIGHTSABER.
Me: Okay.
Movie: Then he rushes to SAVE HIS TRUE LOVE.
Me: Yeah?
Movie: Just one problem.
Me: No lightsaber.
Movie: HE DOESN”T HAVE A LIGHTSABER.

Movie: So Finn and Poe have great chemistry in this movie.
Me: They do! Great banter, as good as Ep 7!
Movie: Not in a gay way.
Me: Of course.
Movie: So we thought it was best if Finn just followed Rey around. Shouting her name a lot
Me: Of course.
Movie: He’s like a sad puppy.

Editorial Aside: Yes, I unabashedly love The Last Jedi. I’ve written at length about it here.
That being said, 90% of the issues I’ve tweeted about here aren’t about ‘retconning TLJ’. They’re just not executing the story they wanted to tell well.zenofdesign.com/yes-the-last-j…

Also editorial aside: If you love the movie, great! Own it! Don’t let anyone tell you what to like and what not to like!
If you don’t? Snark away. But don’t turn into a jerk about, and don’t make it part of your identity. Star Wars won’t die and better stuff will come again.

If your Blu-Ray collection doesn’t have a few things in it that make other people go ‘Really?!?’, you’re just running with the herd
Movie: And at the end, we achieve REYLO!
Me: They kiss?
Movie:Yes!
Me: Then they declare their love before he dies? A “you saved me” maybe?
Movie: ...
Me: Got it! One could be all ‘I love you’ and the other could ‘I know’! Fan service!
Movie: Shit, that would have been perfect.

Movie: And then Rey takes the last name of...
Me: Her parents? Turns out they were pretty cool and saved her life.
Movie: No.
Me: Ben Solo? Her literal soulmate which was a key plot point?
Movie: No.
Me: Oh no
Movie: Skywalker, because otherwise the movie’s name makes no sense.

Very Clever People: LOL, should they have just shot Leia’s lightsaber into the rubble that was Alderaan?
Me: You’re right. Space funerals are never awesome in films.

@delance2 @Evangelion217 Luke literally rediscovers the meaning and goodness in the force and saves the day performing the single greatest force power that had yet been put on film, but do go on.
@delance2 @Evangelion217 Seperately, Finn and Luke both realize these views (everything is too fucked up to take action) are wrong. Finn rejects the old smuggler's arguments and proudly declares himself a rebel. Luke realizes that the Jedi Order may have been broken, but their principles were not.
