Luke telling Yoda, "THOSE ARE THE SACRED JEDI TEXTS?!" seemed like a great Impatient Luke-Yoda moment, though.

People saying this as a complaint is like 30% of the past two year's worth of debate on this film. He's not literally wrong all the time. He already proved his fighting chops in 7 and evolved into a character that realized silly heroics aren't the end-all be-all in 8 (which we even saw from Luke in the OT). Leia was right to follow him at the end because the entire arc is around how sacrificing people needlessly to be the hero isn't what'll allow the Resistance to survive. That we're having this discussion after Han and Lando's promotions in the OT is weird.

Putting aside that TLJ betrayed nothing about the OT and actually did more of a service to those characters than people's heads do: It's almost as if failure was one of the themes of TLJ. The predictable route would be, "Poe just destroyed the Dreadnought and everyone survived. Finn and Rose sneak into the enemy ship and succeed, cutting the movie down an hour. Luke flips around and destroys everything despite that actually betraying his character and the Jedi's character." And it wouldn't be memorable, either, nor would there be any narrative thrust to any of this besides a basic B-Movie.

Doo doo doo doooo, doo doo doo doooooo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo (just singing Still More Fighting) Patapon 2 was announced years ago as a remaster around the time PaRappa Remaster, LocoRoco Remaster, and Patapon 1 Remaster were announced, but I assumed they shelved the second remaster.

Having rewatched the movie last week and watched the climax several times, I always remember what @sblfilms said about the score when he saw an early screening. I think many of us thought TFA had good music, but not super memorable, and he said that TLJ's score cements the scenes with the music (similar to how you can hear the end of ESB's climax in your head along with the scene). And with both The Spark: And the ending duel, specifically the final minute (timestamped): I'm pretty sure TLJ has my favorite score of the Saga next to Empire. The Spark is a favorite among a lot of fans, but The Last Jedi (the piece of music that plays in the finale) is so damn good. Great use of Kylo's theme, great revelation, and once Luke vanished, the music just sounds like Kylo's rage and confusion. Seriously great shit. Something I saw in the comments that I never really thought about: I always loved the "See ya round, kid," line coming from Luke, but I never really connected it to something that sounds like Han. Kylo went nuts when Luke mentioned Kylo's father, and he gives him a Han-like line, plus uses the light saber that Kylo says "belongs to [him]." Talk about using someone's anger against him. Too great a movie. We didn't deserve it. Well, y'all didn't. I did and I'll deserve his future SW movies.

They got most of TLJ wrong, so I'm not surprised they don't get character arcs and story.

I meant to share this yesterday, so thanks. It's honestly a good read. Totally recommend it.

Yo, many of us didn't think he should have been awarded it then, so his lack of character becoming more apparent since 9/11 when he was given this POTY distinction makes it funnier to me that he won it to begin with. It's not a gotcha: plenty of people knew he was a twat-waffle before 9/11, so every time he says something like the OP, I think of how silly it is to rush to put someone like him on a pedestal. It should be a learning lesson for everyone, not seen as a "gotcha." A reminder that rushing to recognize someone because "rah rah, I love America," leads to picks that didn't make sense then and don't age well now.

I loved seeing that kind of Yoda, too. PT Yoda was very serious, and while I think plenty of it was warranted (he wasn't joking while training Luke in ESB, so I get he's not comic relief), a little levity would have been in-character as we saw in the OT.

He was a twat before the TIME cover. I was born in NYC. He is responsible for 9/11 first responders dying years and years excruciatingly from disease and cancer because he undersold how dangerous it was to go to Ground Zero. He dropped out of a Senate race against Hillary due to a messy divorce due to an affair and health issues. He wasn't the most influential person that year; it was given to him as a "rah rah America" thing, but he clearly was not the person who had the most influence on the world or anywhere close to it. The closer you are to NYC, the more you're going to dislike Giuliani. It's why he failed so miserably in 2008: people found out they really didn't actually like him. 9/11 was a resurgence of his political career, not a testament to the kind of man he is.

If you were like many of us, it already felt elevated.

So is the art world.

Hehe, I just saw this in relation to what you posted:

Ehh, I mean, I honestly think Rogue One/4/5/6/7/8 work well on their own. 9's entertaining enough, but you just have to keep your expectations low like @SFLUFAN's dating experiences to really get the most out of it (hey, HE said this, not me ). Glad you gave that vid a watch! I've long since held Episode 8 will likely improve with the non-racist detractors since the neckbeard alt-right ones aren't worth it, anyway. One of my co-workers said he watched 8 again and "didn't hate it as much," and he ceded that there were more things he liked about it on a rewatch. I looked at him like Sidious like

House Judiciary Committee could recommend additional articles of impeachment

I heard some in the inner recesses of the internet -- forget where -- say the actress who played her sister should have played Rose, conveniently the more attractive one.

Welp.

I guess because she didn't kill him in anger? It's confusing to me as well because when he's shooting lightning at the ships, he could be freaking out Rey and forcing her to kill him and take his place, basically.
