Topic	My thoughts on "The Last Jedi" (obvious spoilers)

He did demonstrate a moment of clarity when he called off the attack on the battering ram cannon and tried to order Finn to bail on his suicide mission. Its true that we didnt seem him break down over the realization of what he did, but we got to see that he had learned from his failure, which is sort of the point, no? I agree that it would have probably been more well-received if they had shown him actually coming to grips with the lesson. Maybe they thought that would be too much, I dont know. It's a little bit of a shift in the character (no doubt we'll see a greater one in IX), also in how he behaves inside the base in Crait, it does play up his new sense of leadership and responsibility. Taking charge of the situation, Leia saying "what are you looking at me for? follow him" But yeah, especially given how devoted Poe is to the Resistance, I would've expected his reaction would have been more in the league of "Oh my god this is all my fault" I think a bit more of an obvious and strong reaction from him is warranted in the situation. Mimichan posted... In many ways, I feel like this is a message to the fans too. We love the old movies but things are going to change now. It's ok to embrace the change. Mhm, I personally love the message. Star Wars can't stay the same forever. The Jedi don't have a monopoly on the force, the Skywalkers don't have a monopoly on saving the galaxy. Things are gonna be different now. Mr_Biscuit posted... Yeah, if theres any critique for the direction, I think its that you could make the argument that perhaps you shouldve kept this paradigm shift for the finale instead of mid-trilogy, to set up future movies. I dont really mind but I get the argument. If anything felt that that sort of shift maybe should've been the focus of the first film in the sequels if anything (IIRC that may have been the original draft of VII before the rewrite), but maybe that would've been too much to fit into what's supposed to be a reintroduction to the franchise. Again, I love the theme and message, but I can understand why some people aren't digging the execution of it. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.
