How dare you react "confused" to my post. Kylo Ren is one of the only good characters thru 2 movies. I guess it's a personal continuation of the last 2 trilogies, though. As Vader is my favorite character from IV-VI, and Maul/Tyranus/Sidious were my favorites I-III... Something about all that black with the red lightsaber... I don't find any of the heroes compelling. BB8 is probably the best of them all. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes though, that is all we had. If anything I liked how both Han AND Luke lost their way but both redeemed themselves in the end. I don't know how old @theCapraAegagrus or the rest of you are, but at 44 I do think of certain life choices that I have made and wonder if it is worth. I work in a career path where the majority of us in my specific location are terribly unhappy and cannot wait to get out. I personally get Luke. Sadly, I know a lot more TLJ Lukes than I know ANH Lukes. I liked how RJ portrayed this. Maybe I saw what he was trying to do by making the audience identify and relate with the characters in that heroes can become broken and then redeem themselves. I know of a couple of people that hated TLJ because they did not like the aspect of Luke losing his faith. One such person was the cop that lost his marriage over the job. TO ME... Johnson boiled the TLJ down to one thing, that no matter what the odds, no matter who has lost their faith, no matter how bad it gets, there is always hope. This is demonstrated with the end narration and the scene with force sensitive kid and the broom. The overall movie was actually very good in my eyes. I agree that there were cringeworthy and hokey elements such as the Jedi Breast Pump. But I loved the casino scene. I loved Del Toro's character and how he shrugged off 'sides' of a conflict as the good guys are the good guys one day and the bad guys the next. There is a lot of great stuff in TLJ for me and the more we talk, maybe I can offer more insight as to why I hold it in such high regard... at least from my perspective.

Hey, I'm open for discussion & I listen & respect what you say but I disagree with 100% of it! The casino scene was one of the biggest waste of times in cinematic history. Han's death made no sense, Luke wouldn't lose that much faith, he is the symbol of hope. he is the new hope in "A New Hope" Please don't remind me about the kid with the broom, I totally blacked that out..... theCapraAegagrus and zhamlau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First he was Lucas' and then he was Disney's. I will always concede though that as a collective narrative viewed as a collection of trilogies, that if I had to rank them: Original, Prequels, then the Sequels. The sequels lose points as they are somewhat (not entirely, but somewhat) outside of Lucas' vision as well as painfully derivative storytelling of Episode 7.
