Like the Leia getting force powers out of nowhere in space. Sheesh.
“Somehow Palpatine returned”
Comedy gold. Literally in the opening crawl and then some background character was like “I don’t know, dark force powers, cloning or some shit” and that was all we got 🤣
I always said that opening crawl should behave been the movie. How Palestine came back, grew power, and the opening 10 seconds of him searching for the stones. That should have been half of the movie
Watch that and then the “By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a savings” line from Galaxy Quest.
It’s the exact same pained expression, but Oscar Isaac’s is real.
This was honestly so funny, it’s hard to be mad at them for just not even giving a shit. Yeah we could pull an explanation out of our asses that won’t make any sense, or we just throw that libe at people.
The last film of the new trilogy as a whole. I’ve watched it three times now and I can not for the life of me remember the plot. There was a dagger thing and then Palpatine is in the end on a spooky crane and then they kiss and it’s weird. That’s seriously everything I can remember off the top of my head.
Padme dying during labor. In an advanced medical tech universe. And the lamest explanation for it “she’s lost the will to live”…
Well that’s not how girls work and it’s quite a telling the script was written by a bloke.
I know we’re dealing with human aliens, but there is actually a thing called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome”, where your heart weakens as a result of emotional trauma.
It is rarely fatal, but deaths have occurred as a result of it.
Never thought of this, you’re not wrong.
On the other side her dying because she lost the will to life… is kind of a good explanation for an unlikely death in such an advanced civilization.
Obviously they could simply keep her alive despite any actual medical condition. So what else could she die of… except for a spiritual (I don’t know a better description) reason.
Kind of a “so bad it’s actually good” explanation.
The only head canon that makes sense is that Palpatine drained her life force in order to bring Vader back from the dead.
It was explained in one of the comics that she died because Vader was unknowingly siphoning her life energy to keep himself alive.
The scene is still dumb and definitely needed a better explanation but it is what it is at this point
The only head canon that makes sense to me is that Palpatine used Padme’s life force to bring Vader back from the dead.
There are some.
The Death Planet ih the new trilogy destroyed the exact same way as Luke destroyed the Death Star.
The fact that they realized that “parsec” is a length unit, and they came up with a total bullshit explanation for “doing the Kessel run in 12 parsec”.
Nearly every maintenance infrastructure built like a giant death trap. The reactor room where Maul killed Qui-Gon, the scene where Luke realizes that Vader is his father, and so on.
The Kessel run thing was done in the EU books ages ago, but honestly I still liked the idea that Han was just talking out his ass (and obi wan’s expression actually works for this idea).
Each trilogy is pretty much a rerun of the last, blow up something big first movie - but oh no it was only the start. Finish with blowing up something bigger
Kessel run is really just a personal preference then, cause like it entirely fits the lore just you don’t like it so we shouldn’t?
A massive part of star wars is the aesthetic, and sure its not always gonna be 100% reasonable bit like those scenes probably wouldn’t be as interesting in a 4’ x 4’ storage closet in an office space
(also fits the empires idea of things need to look pretty on top, but beneath they couldn’t care less about health and safety, as long as they remain I power)
The Kessel run might fit the lore, but the lore was clearly added after the fact and it’s so much of a stretch that the black holes look like silhouettes that were made for me on the other side
“That’s a good question, for another time”
That another time never happened. Sums up the sequel trilogy. Lots of setup, but no payoff.
She uses her powers to find Luke at the end of Episode V. (The scene you described is weird nonetheless)
The hoverbike scene in Boba Fett. And basically anything to do with those teenagers gang members. Their bikes remind me of kitchen aid mixers meet the power rangers. The affects are so bad, the story is so bad the music is so bad. I don’t think I found one good quality in that scene. Except it made me laugh for how bad it was.
And there is another scene when they are on battle and one of them does a “cool” spin for absolutely no reason.
When they gave Yoda a lightsaber for the first time. Most iconic character ruined.
Hey, didn’t I cut a scene from one of those movies? Yeah that’s the one. I want to put it back in. let’s see. Ah crap, that guy there, what’s his name? Jab…Jaffa? He needs to be a slug. Can we change that? What the hell, it’s the 90s, we can find some computer nerd to do that. Needs to be bigger too. Like, erm, bigger than the frame? Will that work? Ah what the fuck keep him man sized, he’s a space monster he can change size or some shit. That bit there - whassname, Sulu, he needs to be standing on Jagger’s tail. Just make him stand on the tail. Cut him out and move him up and down it’ll look fine. Yeah sure, I’d stand on a mafioso’s tail - it’s a power move, they respect that. What’s this scene about anyway? Yada yada, removing the bounty, yada yada… yeah I remember there was something about a bounty in one of those movies. It all fits. It’s like I planned it all in advance.
Lmfao
Thanks for sharing that
Seeing Obi Wan and Yoda in the original trilogy treat Darth Vader as if he’s some rando to deal with saddens me. Forgetting he has a name, glossing over his legacy, asserting his lack of humanity, constantly telling Luke he must kill him, etc. when he was thrust into the mold by them and wasn’t without reasoning makes the jedi in the original trilogy seem shittier to me than the other movies. My gal Ahsoka wouldn’t do that.
when he was thrust into the mold by them
The problem with that chain of reasoning is that Obi Wan and Yoda in the OT didn’t know at the time that they were partly responsible. That story hadn’t been written, yet.
Almost everything since Disney took over, except bits of Mandolorian.
Any scene with older Anakin and Padme. All those love scenes were just cringe
I like the fan theory that he unknowingly mind tricked her into falling in love with him, because that’s the only explanation for how she could fall in love with someone that makes me want to hide my face in shame out of cringe.
Nope, Leia space surfing was the worst
