He's the only one that's consistently good across all films, so I think it's justified.

I like how in ROTJ Palpatine loses when Luke throws away the sword, but in TLJ and TROS the bad guys lose when shit goes Michael Bay around them.
If they wanted Palpatine back, there's a perfect model to imitate: Saruman in the books. The Scouring of the Shire as some sort of I'M STILL RELEVANT villainy, followed by a stab which technically kills him but his spirit is forever doomed to roam Middle-Earth, incapable of any interaction, but just watching how the world heals and goes on forgetting him.
But no, we need to bing bing wahoo Palpatine out of existence lmao

I'm not a fan how Luke's so powerless against Palps after he throw away the saber.

Another franchise murdered and runined by feminists, progs and talentless "special" hacks that own 95% of hollywood. Add it to the pile along with Star Trek, 007, Game of thrones, stranger things, vikings, terminator, ghostbusters, to be soon joined by MCU phase 4, amazon lord of the rings and the witcher.

I just feel bad for George Lucas. He wasn't the best at writing dialogue but he had a real vision and really cared about his movies and I bet that seeing his beloved creation become...this...colossal conglomerate disaster... fumbled by director changes and poor executive decisions probably really hurt him inside.
I bet he is just sitting in a garden on his ranch right now planting sunflowers and pretending none of it ever happened lol.

Star Wars is actually about Palpatine and though he is dead his legacy lives on.

Damn, TFA released in 2015. In that time Disney has killed my interest in Star Wars to the point I've gone from "don't you fucking dare spoil the movie" to "lol yeah I'll go read the spoilers thread, I don't give a crap"...... and based on the amount of people I've spoken to about the spoilers it seems I'm not the only one even just among my friends circle.
Good fucking job Disney.

I didn't hate TFA and even defended it. I thought it was a good way to open the new trilogy. The cast had charisma and the story had so many possibilities.
Now i despise everything star wars and just want to watch it burn.

Oh that's right. I just watched AOTC again a few days ago too.
I still like the PT minus Binks and the corny romance talk. Revenge of the Sith was great and Palps was over the top cheesy villain but lovable. I always liked Palp better than Vader.
Phantom Menace was flawed but fun.
I'm almost dreading making the trek in the cold tomorrow to see ROTS but I already bought the ticket and I still have to see it for myself.
I feel bad for McDiarmand (?) He's so great as Palp and it sounds like this is a total waste for him.

Also the powel level were completely different, I can imagine a lightsaber blocking some normal lightning but here the lightning was strong enough to destroy a fleet just before!
I mean I'm just listening to some spoiler reviews and it looks like they completely went crazy with force powers.

I just saw the movie and it was better than I expected. I didn't really like The Last Jedi so I didn't expect much. The movie had many things that I liked and many stupid things.

i could see it being enjoyable on an MST3K level. maybe this is why they leaked everything?
personally that is fine w me, i love b-movies, i love cheesy/silly stuff. this is why i like SW in the first place. Attack of the Clones is my favorite of the prequel films cos it goes all in, it is like watching a 1966 Hammer Horror or Roger Corman movie but made with computers.
the new filmmakers, Rian Johnson in particular, have gotten so super serious about the lore and canon, they killed all the fun. everyone is always so dour, so serious, so grim. im wondering if this movie has some accidental fun. like Rich Evans says "sporadically interesting"

Kelly Marie Trans sounds like a real genuine sweetheart irl. It's a shame they made her basically the Jar Jar of the ST. I mean.... Wtf is this? Seriously.Is this the best scene of the new trilogy?

Rian was not ignorant of the abuse hurled at Jar Jar and Anakin, yet he went ahead and purposefully put this POC actress into a controversial and frankly unlikable leading role. KMT was his bait, and he played the trolls all the way to 2 years of narrative dominance, through virtue signalling, as well as flattery of the media class itself, which he continues today. come on, the first thing she does is act bi polar, fangirling like an anime character, then tasering this recently injured hero after accusing him of being a coward. this is definitively not the behavior of a character in the SW universe. Rian himself admits to basing her on a girl he knew in high school. she is a literal fanservice character for him personally. KMT left social media and from what i understand wrote that a lot of what she was going through was industry related, that comments about her body were being made in the industry, a lot of the abuse she discussed was through working as an actress, toxic fans really never coming up, all that being a media creation. look at the documents, folks.
her main reasons seemed to be not wanting to deal w all the attention. IMO quitting Twitter is not a huge thing, but to the media it is this ultimate sin, and a sign the world is ending, that people made her quit social media. the honest truth is that anyone who wants to remain sane should quit social media, it is an inherently toxic medium. Twitter has done far more to harm POC like KMT than any Youtube video on how Luke was ruined. the more famous you are the more nutjobs you will attract. if you are in something as big as Star Wars you attract literally every racist/bigot on the planet.
naturally, the establishment media wants to take the spotlight off anything remotely controversial such as the mistreatment of POC characters or miscasting of minority actresses, and so they misdirect to highlight the "alt right" trolls instead. IMO, like with John, and probably Daisy, they are just doing a job, working hard, and don't have a say in what the idiots managing them are telling them to do. no doubt their daily handlers fed them all kinds of propaganda. we know that John didn't learn fans were upset his character didn't have more to do until quite later. the actors were all good, tho the material was garbage. they are truly are the MVPs, and it is a shame how much talent was wasted.

word is they re-enact the bridge scene from TFA.
that's right, the nostalgia has gotten to the point where the series is canalizing itself within trilogies.

Well that's acceptable then.its a vision in his head.
Because a normie coming back as a Force Ghost would really shatter lore imho and ngl cause a bit of nerdrage in me.

In this whacknut Disney version of a SW universe they'd have Anne Frank forgiving Hitler.
But in all fairness it was hard to swallow even in ROTJ.
But at least it made more sense there and it was a one-time thing but now it seems this "Skywalker saga" is all about redemption and forgiving people so long as they're at least your second cousin.
Dear me, this is almost reminding me of that scene in Spaceballs with the exchange between Lone Star and Dark Helmet.

Vader was only ever forgiven by Luke. he gave his life for him, as well as the galaxy, to destroy Sheev. but it was not for his own redemption, what Vader did was for the galaxy. if destroying Sheev ended the Empire, Vader sacrificed without anyone knowing about his redemption aside from Luke. this is why it works, it was Anakin showing his son that he could still do one good act before he died. whether or not he killed others is irrelevant, because it is irrelevant to Luke at that point, whose goal was ending the violence. together they ended the cycle of violence.
i have to see ROS to find out how they do this. Kylo hallucinating an alternate version of what he should have done, ie not kill his father, is not satisfying. him getting distracted by the death of Leia, after spending years trying to kill her and her friends, is not satisfying. there is no motivation to any of this. just cardboard figures arranged to sell shit.

It was such a souless movie. I literally felt NOTHING while watching it. Void of any feeling of hate, or excitement. They even had Rey have this "I am Ironman" moment from Endgame. It was such a cringe moment.
Rey was really OP in this movie, as in Force Unleashed OP. Then again, so was Palpy. The lightsaber battles were really boring, the space battles were boring, everything was boring. For me, this was the worst Star Wars movie of all the Star Wars movies.
