The Wave Master 12/19/17 10:15:53 AM #23:	I don't love or hate The Last Jedi. I just have a lot of problems. As I mentioned to Bank Robber, The Last Jedi was not The Star Wars movie I wanted, expected, or needed. Warning: major spoilers for The Last Jedi. I guess my problem is that I don't like being preached to in a movie. It's my problem with a movie like, Million Dollar Baby. The Last Jedi spends 2 plus hours telling me that there is no hope, that heroes aren't always who you think they are, and that waiting for that hope is just dumb. (Whuch every adult knows that.) Then it pisses all over that with the ending. At least have the convictions to say, "Maybe old, crazy, hermit, Luke Skywalker is right?" Nope, he was wrong and he spent years of his life wasting away just to piss away at the end. There were very few answers to questions like, "Who is Snoke and why does he want Rey alive? When he could have just killed her when she got to the space ship? Why was it important for her to live or Kylo to kill her? It wasn't like he was planning to lure Luke there to kill him personally.... Which was the entire point of the first movie. Instead he dies like a b** Darth Maul style because he put his faith in The force. The same force that allowed him to connect with Rey and Kylo the entire time, and see everything. Which could have easily led them to Luke, again, the entire point of The Force Awakens. More to come in the next post.... --- We are who we choose to be. <cite>The Wave Master posted [p:892497871] in A Geektivu... [t:76102111]...</cite> <quote>I don't love or hate The Last Jedi.
