I feel weird liking both DomeWing333's and Iakus' posts, but there you have it. I'm not the guy yelling "fight, fight, fight!" on the sidelines; I really do see both sides of the argument. Like Iakus, I'm very disappointed in the way the lives and personalities of the OT three have turned out the new trilogy and it's saddening that it is now "canon," but like Domewing333 I can see how it might have come about and find it interesting to explore. Is it OOC for Luke to be so hopeless? Yes, unless we take a leap of faith that "reaaaally bad stuff happened to him offscreen in the intervening years." Rian went that route and I'm open to seeing where it leads. Kevin Smith brought up Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye in his review. Back in the day while we were waiting for ESB this "sequel" to Star Wars was published, and those of us who wanted more Star Wars ate it up. It turned out that we got ESB instead, so with that experience and all the other tie-in stuff (books, comics, cartoons, etc.) I guess I'm not wedded to anything as canon. I almost see the new trilogy as an amazing fanfiction rather than taking it as "OMG, this is now officially what happened." In that light it's easier for me to let go of the stuff I don't really like and concentrate on what's new and interesting. I understand that that approach might not work for others, though. I suppose I can hope that TLJ will be rendered noncanon by later events. But I'm not holding my breath.

I thought I read it all today until this gem showed up on Twitter. If you don’t think Leia and Holdo are lovers, I’m sorry I can’t help you. That would have to be pretty tongue-in-cheek, BUT there is a lot of support for Leia x Holdo since they have known one another since childhood, and they did have a very emotional farewell. I can easily see them being former lovers.

I enjoyed it about as much as Mark Hamill did.

Haven't seen it but have thus far enjoyed all the salty nerd rage over it, so yes.

I have to say, Rey sure was showing a lot of anger and aggression during her fight with the red troopers. We know where anger leads to...

I did not enjoy it, its plot problem aside it simply wasn't a very entertaining movie. The story was predictable, the action pretty mediocre, the bad guys were utterly stupid as always, all the characters behaved like angsty teenagers, Snoke, as a character was totally boring and weak compared to Palpatine. There simply wasn't anything that made me go ''WHOA'' or ''HECKING COOL!''.

I liked it, but I thought it would have been more interesting if Rey did join Kylo and they made a new order and then have the two of them go up against the Knights of Ren in episode 9.
