I definitely got "the whole order needs to go" more than "I flubbed it" from Luke, but that could easily have just been my take.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious in a totally not-commented-upon way that Luke made his force-projection self younger and thinner. I see you, Mr. My Ascetic Lifestyle Barely Covers My Vanity And Does My Ass Look Big In These Robes.

Loved Rose. Almost loved Holdo but they never gave her a chance to really be a developed character? It felt sort of "oh and hey here's the obvious person to be your new leader!". Maybe if I had any familiarity all with the extended universe stuff in between...

Cried like a tiny baby at the whole ending. All of it. Cried extra at little kids telling the legend with made-up action figures, but it was a happy cry that time.

Oh, man, the kids at the end! I yelped when the kid Force-grabbed the broom.

I was glad they gave Leia at least one scene where she actively used the Force, so it didn't seem like she'd completely ignored an inborn talent that would be a MASSIVE advantage in fighting against the vestiges of the Empire. I mean, Luke became a full-fledged Jedi in less than 6 years with relatively little of that under expert supervision, you'd think she'd have found time in 34 or so to cultivate a few tricks.

Of course, I wish she'd been allowed to use it to give Kylo Ren a Force-whipping that would have left him curled up in the fetal position and crying through the end of Episode IX...

Yes to Matt's second spoilery paragraph, in full.

Incidentally, I'm overjoyed at all my fabulous bitches (both Buffista and non-Buffista) jumping on the dude on my facebook who was all "blah blah movie about having to listen to middle-aged women blah" so I didn't even have to.

So, I agree with all of you about The Last Jedi, and may I add that long fight scenes have become boring to me. When the fight lasts more than a few blows and no one is dead or seriously injured except redshirts, I start thinking about lunch. Also, I hate that I can see through the fight choreography now, THANKS

I liked it well enough, but I agree with one of my college friends that it was not great. I don't think TFA was either. I liked Rogue One much more than either of these even though I like characters in these more, if that makes sense.

I really enjoyed TFA pretty much all the way through. With this one, there were long stretches I wasn't interested in, but I REALLY liked all the parts with Rey, Luke, and Leia.

Furthermore, I dislike Kylo Ren. Not in the "villain I love to hate" way, just in the "ugh somebody behead him please" way.

In a movie with Oscar Isaac and John Boyega, WHY did we get Adam Driver shirtless? Throw me a dang bone, Rian Johnson.
