why on gods name did they have to include that scene of Leia and Luke both CGI de-aged in the Leia Jedi training..
was so fucking terrible.
also, so many of the scenes with Leia which used the unused footage of Carrie before she died, the proportions were all wrong..
her head was massive.overall felt a bit like they had a script.. cut it up into pieces, threw it up in the air and cut and pasted 2/3 of it back together.
it was no worse they the prequels.. but so much of it just reeked of script writing by committee ..

Spoiler but can someone bennsplain to me why the massive planet killing fleet just stood there and got destroyed instead of warp jumping away? They were all armed and ready to go why not complete their mission?
- they explain that due to gravitation anomalies the ships didnt know which way was up hence the need for beaconstrooperbill
- By the time they were explaining one thing I was still trying to figure out the last nonsensical thing they were trying to slide past us and missed this lol_niko
- Can develop Death Star capabilities for every ship, can’t develop technology to deal with gravitational anomaly’sautoflavour
- Also, why wait.. would you be implementing the final order as soon as you are good to go?autoflavour
- But the rebels had no issues with the same gravitational anomalies and were able to light speed jump in no problem?_niko
- I have enjoyed seeing all the Disney releases the second time more. They go through explanations so fast it becomes hard to follow and a little dumb.CyBrainX
- A second and third viewing lets you take it in a little more.CyBrainX

The first hour I was following along happily. Then it got real fan service-y and campy in the latter half and I could barely stand it. Many eye rolls were had. Then I want home and had the itch so I decided to start a rewatch. Haven’t seen Episode 1 since the theatre days. My god, what a total abomination from start to finish. Only saving grace is the best lightsaber battle of all time. It made Episode 9 look decent.
Then I just rewatched Mandalorian instead. Great show. The movie format just doesn’t work for me these days.
- Ep. 1 is still the worst movie by far, with the most offensive scenes. Jar Jar, the Gungan, the 20 minute pod race. I agree about the fight scene though.CyBrainX

Also did anyone else find Lando’s hitting on that black woman at the end creepy? “Where you from?”
- I think he's the dadHayoth
- Lando was always creepy. Remember "What do we have here...?" to Leia?CyBrainX
- Yeah, Remember when he got a woman drunk on malt liquor and said "it works every time!"fooler
- Also, lando never carried a blaster, yet it looked like he had one in his pocket. Strange!futurefood

All I can say is fuck Rian Johnson and fuck Disney.
You had one job < facepalm >
As a singular film, RoS is okay. As a trilogy, fucking crap.
This review nails it.- Blame Kathy Kennedy who gave Rian Johnson the opportunity to fuck it up. But at least there were some more purple haired women in it.NBQ00
- To be fair a lot of good hard work went into these things, from a technical and visual standpoint you can’t help but love the worlds they create._niko
- So it’s a shame that they fall apart with something as fundamental as the story. Story should be king everything else should play a supporting role. It’s the..._niko
- Reason we’re still watching Greek dramas 2500 years later, or still flocking to see works by Shakespeare - the amazing and timeless stories._niko
- lol @ watching greek dramas 2500 years later and flocking to see shakespeare. omglolmantrakid
- @mantrakid you do realize greek theatre is essentially responsible for the form of modern story telling. Genre, narrative, structure, themes, etc.ETM

I came out from the movies like this:
- What the fuck I just paid for?
- Loved the guy who shouted loud YOU FUCKING BITCH at the result of Rajs (yeah she is dumb as an indian goatherd) first wandering off.
- Lots people teleportation and background changes without changing time or the scene.
- Some of the characters don't belong there. Like at the beginning on the millennium falcon there is this alien in the background during the conversation what dominates the scene.
- Only fucking space animals can define an alien planet?annoying garbage if you have an eye for detail.
srry- You know it, I know it, vegetable lasagna knows it...helloeatbreathedrive
- It’s all Jar Jar Abrams faultNBQ00

Felt like a Disney ride instead of the most epic ending to one of greatest stories ever, spanning 40 years.

There's so much crap going on in the first half of the movie I can't even comprehend wtf is going on. Cutting from one scene and location to the next. And badly written stuff.
Then the god like force powers is just too much. Why do the even need lightsabers.
The second half was much better and darker. The fight between Rey and Kylo on the stormy waters was visually stunning.
But the real highlight of the movie was granddaddy Palpatine. I could've watched him and just him only the entire movie. He also saved the movie from being worse than Last Jedi and it was close.

It didn’t feel epic. There was no finality or conclusion to it. Wasn’t awful, wasn’t good.

Lol. I hope these Collider Deepfakes of George Lucas never end.

Harrison: “George, I don’t think so.”
