First shiny was a Raticate on the way up to the Lake of Rage and the red Gyarados in Silver. At the time I had no idea what it was but I caught it

In Fire Red I ran into a shiny Nidoran in the Safari Zone and couldn't catch it, then within an hour I found a shiny Bellsprout elsewhere. Caught that one.

Everything else I have has been bred or chained or whatever deliberately. I'd have to bust out my Bank but I think I have like 30 shinies at this point. Let's Go was particularly good to me, I think I got like 3 shiny Doduos in half an hour.

Graveler is a good one. Great color and you didn't have to worry about him exploding.

It was shattered and the ship exploded on top of it.

Incorrect. It was ripped in half, not shattered, and she took it with her.

How many Marvel or DC characters can project a psychic beacon 50,000 light-years across for more than 10,000 years, and whose very presence can unmake entities from a parallel dimension? Yeah, I thought so.

Quite a few cosmics.

Warhammer 40K dudes always overrate their universe though.

Seems your comprehension is lacking. Ill make it clear.

Why did Luke force project himself if his X-Wing was fully functional?

Would've taken too long. Hyperspace travel is not instantaneous and the Resistance needed him right then.

that seems like an utter perversion of the taoistic dynamic of the previous trilogies, especially the prequels

i wonder if lucasfilm's new management was responsible for this treachery

Nope, that's all Lucas. The Dark Side is a cancer in the Force.

Control is fantastic and right in the same vein as Alan Wake.

Definitely a stealth sequel, and one of the upcoming DLCs looks like it might just straight up be a crossover.

One of the rebels mentions Sith sorcery and cloning techniques as a possible explanation for his return.

I don't think Palps ever mentions clones and if he does he definitely doesn't say the one in RotJ was a clone.

The one on the Death Star was a clone.

Funny enough, thats some extended universe shit, which they supposedly threw out.

No it wasn't.

The one on the Death Star is Palpatine himself. His spirit survives through Sith sorcery and jumps to a clone in the EU. There's no implication in the current canon that it was a clone on the Death Star, and he in fact says he's died before. We don't know for sure how he did it in the current canon but something similar to the EU is likely.

But in neither canon was the Palpatine aboard the Death Star a clone.

If Palpatine was in control of Snoke how could he not know of the diad that he set up?

A connection and a dyad are not the same thing.

Snoke set up the initial connection, their deepening bond eventually became a dyad, which is something that hadn't been seen for thousands of years. Palps had no idea. This isn't hard to follow.

While I wish he had more lines and time as Ben, even that "Ow" is so Han Solo and so not Kylo Ren.

One small detail I liked is that when Rey is climbing up the DS2 wreckage, mirroring her scavenger origins, she seems to climb up the same shaft Palps fell down.

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.

I imagine its because they value the Sith way more than their own individual life. Like, It sucks if I die, but in the end it will only make the Sith stronger as a whole because theyre being succeeded by someone even more powerful, cunning, whatever

These. And also if there's an army of Sith they ALWAYS eventually lose to the Jedi due to infighting.

He comes off as a bit of an asshole sometimes. Like the time he proudly talked about tricking an employee at a store so he could get a game early. To his credit, he admitted he was wrong once multiple people told him that his actions very likely got that employee fired.

There's also his habit of aggressively doubling down when he's wrong. It's funny when it's a character or a bit in a sitcom, but it's extremely frustrating to deal with in real life (based on a friend of mine who does similar things).

https://youtu.be/6SGR35EtocQ

All that said, I don't think Pat is this inhuman asshole who would kick puppies for fun. He just lacks tact sometimes and comes off as abrasive.

Also:

The guy earlier who said that "it was clearly Matt's fault because Woolie chose Pat over him" had me rolling my eyes.

Yep.

The only things we know for sure is that Matt and Pat are no longer friends, and that Liam confirmed he and Pat are no longer friends and dropped communication when he left due to some kind of falling out.

Woolie is the only one that's still cool with everyone.

You can't use the argument that Leia knew Obi Wan through her adoptive fathers stories but then also say Ben is the only name she knew him by.

She literally called him Obi Wan Kenobi in her distress message.

And yes, I know YOU didn't make this argument but it was made earlier in the thread so is this argument just void?

She literally calls him Ben Kenobi in the same movie on the Death Star.

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?

It's literally building on what was established of their strong bond in TLJ. They didn't pass items through there deliberately, but some rain made it through. Then they began doing it themselves in this movie, at first on accident and finally at the end deliberately. I mean, you can think it's stupid, that's your opinion, but the buildup is there and that can't be denied.

Projecting only your voice across the galaxy = dead
LITERALLY force teleporting objects across the galaxy = perfectly fine

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.

NeonOctopus posted...

lol, it's bad writing. I'm guessing they must've ran out of footage or something if they had to resort to such a lame death

Are you dumb? They established in TLJ that projecting yourself through the Force takes a lot of strength (Kylo comments that it's not Rey establishing their bond, it would kill her, and Luke dies doing it) so of course an older, weaker Leia who Maz explicitly says has to use the last of her energy doing what she needs to do would die reaching out to her son one last time to pull him back to the light.

I swear, people bitch about things that are blatantly and obviously explained.

And I think they responded to the distress signal now because it's a much worse situation. Palpatine's message went out to the entire galaxy, and he has a massive fleet of planet killers and is about to send it out to wreak havoc. The Battle of Crait was one battle. Also Lando and the Falcon went to a more populated space lane and IIRC Crait was isolated.

I wish we'd actually seen the ships gathering, we didn't need the "oh I wonder if they'll show up" moment, we know they will, so instead show us Lando gathering the fleet.

Leia didn't die from thinking Ben was killed, she died from the strain of reaching out to him, much like Luke did.

As for Jedi voices there was Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan (both actors), Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, Adi Gallia, Ahsoka Tano, and Kanan Jarrus. So a mix of main characters from the PT and OT, background Jedi from the PT, and two characters from TCW and Rebels.

Palps firing off a Force Storm was the biggest nod to the EU these films have had and it was dope.

I'm glad I didn't read the leaks beforehand, reading them off as a list of bullet points with no outside context made them sound stupid, but stuff like the Jedi speaking to Rey worked so much better in the film than on paper.

Closed the review thread in order to consolidate posts from here on out.

So I love Bens arc through the trilogy but Ive gotta say its super weird that he said very close to nothing in his redeemed form. And by very close to nothing I mean that he audibly said ow when he leapt down that chasm on Exogal buuuut I think that was his last line. lmao

He definitely should have had more time as Ben, his mannerisms and even that "ow" were clearly not Kylo and it would have been nice to get a couple of lines.

Another thought. If Palpatine didnt tell Rey about his plan, she probably wouldve just killed him sooner and it wouldve worked.

Maybe. Once she agrees to do it he says to start the ritual and all his worshippers start chanting, so it may require a bit of prep work.

I got the vibe Palps spirit was piloting his corpse like a meat puppet from the way he was rotting, no wonder he wanted a new body.

I'm fine with either option for Rey. Being a nobody works for the reasons you stated, but being related to someone works too because the entire main saga IS the Skywalkers vs. Palpatine saga so it's fine IMO.

Really enjoyed it overall, just thought the pacing was a little too fast and there were a couple plot points that I wasn't a fan of, most of all the fake out Chewie death.

Ben's character arc through the three films is great. That little Han Solo shrug he does after Rey passes him the lightsaber is so perfect because Kylo Ren would never do that, but Ben Solo would.

Also 3PO was hilarious this movie, dude was on point.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

My favorite part of the sequel trilogy overall and this film specifically was Ben Solo's character arc. It's the most consistent thing across the films and Adam Driver really sells it. After his face turn here you really get the impression that Ben Solo was very different from the Kylo Ren we've seen. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Rey transferred the lightsaber to him and he gave that little Han Solo-esque shrug before fighting the Knights of Ren. Just a subtle touch that's something Kylo would never have done.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

I think the only reason Ben was able to use Force Heal on Rey was specifically due to their bond. I feel like he'd have trouble using it on anyone else. Really liked that he gave his full life force to bring her back though.
