Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi

Another trilogy is on the way courtesy of Rian Johnson. Nice.

 
Damn that looked good.

So one more tell. Notice that left side of Luke's hood looks like plastic rather than fabric. It's not an accident, it is definitely a (not so) subtle reference to Vader.

Lol it looks exactly the same to me

Reaching, my dude. His head being in Vader’s place on the poster was not-so-subtle enough

I thought the same thing, but didn't have the heart to say anything. He was so enthusiastic.

You could argue the red vs blue color of his face is a tell if you were so inclined.

My kid is a big fan. He's got tickets to the NYC premier Thursday night.

I have to wait until Saturday afternoon. I've considered taking the day off work on Friday to avoid overhearing anything and so I'll spend less time on the internets

I have to chaperone a dance Friday night. I'm legitimately horrified some loser kid will ruin this for me.

I think you need to establish ground rules at the outset, and use embarrassment or social stigmatization as a deterrent. Tweens are easily manipulated.
 
Hey whoever suggested reading Bloodlines, thanks. It makes the plot of TFA, the Resistance and First Order more reasonable.

Is there a book out there that discusses the Jedi Academy and Ben Solo's fall to the dark side?

These are no tweens. 15-19 year olds. And I work at an all-girls's school, so it's the boys I'm worried about since I have no control over them, really.

That was probably me. The only mentions of Ben in the canon novels is in Bloodlines. I would imagine that they have some plans to build out plotlines around the failed jedi academy, but with all of the movies being scheduled they may be holding off.
 
I loved it. But I always love Star Wars so I might not be the best judge. ;)

loved the Yoda scene

Can't see it til next week. Thank you for the spoiler.

Did anyone in the theater have a light saber?
 
A good enough movie on its own, but as a Star Wars movie it left me pretty disappointed. It's Star Wars, so they will always get my money, but my days of really looking forward to the next film are over. Maybe a second viewing will allow the film to grow on me, but I won't do that until it is available for home viewing.

How did you feel about TFA? Just looking for a frame of reference.

OK. Thinking back on it this morning I still really liked it but had some issues with few items.

  1. They better explain more about Snoke. That was weak if he is gone and there is no additional backstory, etc.
  2. Same about Rey's parents. I have to feel there is more there.
  3. So can Jedi's survive in space? Is Leia a Jedi? I thought the Princess Leia flying through space was awful.
  4. Still think Captain Phasma was wasted. Should have been a much cooler character.
One great thing: No midi-chlorians.

I liked TFA for the most part. I thought it did a good job of bringing us back into the Star Wars universe. I thought it also laid the groundwork for some interesting storylines moving forward. Unfortunately, I feel like we have seen the end of those possibilities based on the events of this film. I do acknowledge the possibility that at least one person's story may not be done though, depending on the next film.
 
I have tickets for tonight, but the wait is killing me. I so want to hit on those spoilers . . . .
 
I saw it last night, thought the parts that I actually saw were just ok. To be fair, I had a belly full of beer and pizza, once I hit that Imax recliner it was all I could do to keep my eye's open.
