I used to watch Star Wars when I was little so I really did not understand the humor in the movie until I was older and by then its not funny cause I seen the movie like 20 or 30 times. I felt like there was a lot of humor in this movie cause I got free tickets to see it at a Theater that was owned by Disney and was stuck with teenagers and younger adults. I love comedy as much as the next person but it seems like some ppl were just laughing at parts where it was funny but not laugh out loud of the theater funny. I have to say I liked the first Star Trek movie, I know somewhat of the story but I enjoyed the first movie. I think JJ did a good job with that movie and was hoping he was going to make Star Wars a good movie but in my opinion he did not make me like The Force Awakening. By the way didn't The book: The Aftermath was supposed to be the beginning and lead up to this movie? I read something about that but I am not to sure? |

imo Ren was a masterstroke. It would have been foolish to try and out-Vader Darth Vader, would have been a complete joke so you make your villain a shell of what once was and it's easy to be the top of the foodchain when you're the only player.
Personally I think Ben Solo just wasn't very good at being a jedi for whatever reason, searching for a father figure Luke couldn't devote time to him (he had to train a whole new order) leaving him out in the cold, his parents shipped him off, of course he's angsty. He has this legendary name to live up to and just doesn't. I've heard some different takes that 'he's rusty' or 'he's had no challenge to build against' but I'm leaning towards he just didn't get the special gene, we're two generations removed from the 'chosen one' after all. Timelines don't match for Rey and Ben being twins at all imo, Kylo has been terrorizing the galaxy for at least 5 years (last time Han and Leia saw each other) and Luke has been missing for long enough that his legend has become a story rather than history and it's not like Kylo could have developed and killed dozens of in-training jedi before he hit puberty that would support Rey being ditched. Kylo has probably been tooling around the galaxy for a good 20 years at this point if I had to guess. My only change would have been the face reveal, I wish it wasn't a closeup, if they showed his face in a wide angle would have been better. I heard some laughs and confusion when he showed his face, with the closeup it's implied you're supposed to get something meaningful out of this reveal when really it's just a man (almost a boy) hiding behind a mask. With a wide it would have de-emphasized his actual face and shown that he's not all that imposing in stark contrast to his imposing grandfather who he worships. |

Has anyone spoiled that at the end of the movie the screen goes black and names scroll up?

I actually really liked the movie i don't care that it took plot points from previous movies.
there's only three things that are really bothering me 1. Who the hell is snoke? 2. there's more to Rey's flashback/flash forward than is first grabbed the solution to who her parents are is in there(where have we seen that ship that is leaving before?) and what is the dialogue under Luke's NOOOOOOOOooooo scream? also i cant hear yoda in it did anybody hear what he says, because i heard obi wan say "Rey, you have taken your first step" but what the hell did yoda say? 3. I've been reading all over the internet about Rey's parents i don't agree that she was taken to Jakku after Kylo destroyed Luke's new Jedi academy they look close in age(i don't think they are twins) and Kylo wasn't the age Rey was depicted in being when she was abandoned on Jakku, she was taken there much earlier(she was hidden there) and had her mind wiped for a reason that is why after Kylo said the words the force it triggered something in her memory that made her remember her training. I Believe she was trained by Luke from a very young age and for some reason he decided to hide her on Jakku, she is either related to Luke or to Obi Wan thats the only reason the lightsaber would call to her because other than Anakin they were the only two to touch the lightsaber, and the way lightsabers are made is by a jedi putting their own force into the crystal to empower the weapon with the force with this being the case it lends to the theory that the crystal would absorb the force of any jedi that touched it hence the luke/obi wan connection, and thats why we don't hear her last name she cannot remember it!

You guys ready for this?....
Kylo Ren, Isn’t actually evil at all. Bear with me. The whole reason for him being on the dark side is just so he could eventually take down Snoke. Here it is explained; This is why he so conflicted and that’s why he feels the temptation of the light side stronger than the dark. That’s why he talks to Vader’s helmet, because he is going to finish what Anakin, the chosen one, stared. He had to completely turn away from his family in order to do that. To become a sith fully and completely you have to sacrifice someone you love to death, in his case it was Han. That’s why he tells Han he feels like he’s being torn apart inside, because he doesn’t want to do it at all, but it’s the only possible way to become a sith and complete his task. Kylo literally uttered the words “will you help me” to Han, and Han says “anything you need” What he’s asking is if Han will die in order for him to complete his f*cking task. That’s why it looked like he knew who Rey was, because he needs to protect her, that’s why he offers her to be her teacher, he needs someone as powerful as Rey. It will literally be the dark side and the light side joining up to defeat one enemy together as one, which is basically what the force is. They live side by side in it that’s why he so conflicted all the time, that’s why his fight style isn’t like a siths at all. They are always saying that the dark side and the light side are together in the force and they need the personification of both sides (Kylo and Rey) in order to be strong enough to destroy Snoke. He literally has to become a sith to join forces with a Jedi because the light in him is so much stronger than the dark and he has to get rid of it in order to do what he has to do and save the galaxy with Rey and Luke. He needs to know where like is at all times so the first order wont capture him. What if they staged Luke’s Jedi order massacre. What is Luke knows everything. What if Kyle knows they left her in Jakku so Snoke would think she died in the massacre along with all the other Jedi’s. And that’s why he reacted that way when the guy said the droid had “help from a girl in Jakku”
