For all the issues I have with TLJ, at least stuff was happening. I didnt like a lot of it, but shit, Phantom Menace was such a slog.
Honestly, Im struggling to think of a single good thing about it aside from the music. --- Let me talk to your mother. Get your mother please. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TPM has two things going for it:I always shared this opinion, but this time, all I can think about during the pod race was how many fond memories I have from the N64 game. Narratively, it serves no purpose. I mean, I guess it shows that Anakin is a good pilot, but everything he does later in the movie happens completely by accident.

He looked really cool, yeah. Too bad he had no character whatsoever.
Even though Ive seen the movie countless times, Im still surprised every time he speaks. He has like two lines of inane dialogue for some reason. --- Let me talk to your mother. Get your mother please. ... Copied to Clipboard!

He has one line on Coruscant where hes talking to Palpatine about getting revenge on the Jedi or something. And his other line is literally: Yes, my master.

It at least had world building and introduced some cool things into Star Wars. Got a cool pod racing video game from it, droid army, double bladed light sabers, Qui Gon, who was probably the least cringe jedi in all of Star Wars.

I was actually just reading the other day that they originally cast Benicio Del Toro as Darth Maul, who specifically quit the role BECAUSE of how few lines he had.
So yeah, shame. --- Son of a submariner! ... Copied to Clipboard!

One of the most common complaints was it did too muchI assume hes referring to the fact that all the characters are in the same place at the end of the film as they were in the beginning, which I mostly agree with. Except they were developing a very cool dynamic between Rey and Kylo, until they immediately abandoned it in the last 20 minutes. I dislike them both for different reasons, but The Last Jedi wasnt putting me to sleep I guess is what Im saying. --- Let me talk to your mother. Get your mother please. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And I can't believe you fell for Finn having literally the exact same arc as TFA. You're hopeless. Rey went from begging Luke to "show her her place" to reminding him who he is and to snap out of it before taking charge herself. Kylo was clearly guilty and split until he doubled down. Finn only cared about Rey and getting back at the First Order until the end of TLJ when Rose shows him the entire Resistance needs him.

The main problem I have is that, after two movies, I still hardly know Rey or Finn as characters. In the OT, we got to know all three main characters completely before the third act of the first movie.

So yeah I think The Last Jedi is really good. I don't know what all the hate is about. A lot of exciting shit happens. It mirrors Empire in a good way while still being its own thing whereas TFA is just a weak copy of ANH.
The thing with Kylo telling Rey her parents are nobody is obviously just him trying to pull her to the dark side. I wouldn't take that to be reality. I'll be seeing Episode 9 in the morning. ... Copied to Clipboard!
