    Yeah, those were the more interesting bits but then those were just walked back or resolved before the movie was even over

    Then you had the insanely convoluted hyperdrive chase premise forming the backbone of the entire movie, the sidequest casino planet and the movie’s opening cutting from yo momma jokes to characters sacrificing themselves

      There’s a subset of the Star Wars fandom that assumes you’re stupid if you didn’t find all those gotchas and subversions le smart and therefore le good. It’s the old liberals versus chuds thing, mostly, tough I’m sure some leftists also believe it to stick it to the chuds (and the treat critics).

      “Oh Luke is about to confront Kylo GOTCHA he’s just sending an illusion and he wasn’t just killed OH GOTCHA he died because sending that illusion made him too tired or something. Enjoy your gradually fading and somehow now very important symbolic ghost dice, Kylo!”

      That whole chase made no sense, the First Order could’ve sent a bunch of fighters to attack them, since they’d be much faster than the capital ships they were chasing, or just send in ships from other nearby systems to intercept them (unless their entire fleet was chasing them, which’d be nonsensical in its own way).

      At least there was great dialog like ”We are the spark that’ll light the fire that’ll burn the First Order down” amerikkka-clap
