I will admit that I didn't think it was quite that possible to fit that many spoilers into one little paragraph so quickly. Hey, at least he is maybe not as bad as the guy on twitter right after The Force Awakens came out posting his spoilery thoughts with the Twitter Handle HanDies. OOOORRRRR, maybe he is that guy........

I think we've seen by the reaction to these movies that fan service is the way to go. Critics want to see the threshold pushed in movies. Fan reaction to TFA was that it was really derivative, but overall everybody liked it. Some fan reaction to TLJ was that it went way too far, but this is precisely why critics liked it probably. This one does seem to be a lot more fan servicey, I obviously haven't seen it but know what happens.
When it comes to big, tentpole IP machines like Marvel and Star Wars, I think we know what the formula needs to be going forward. Don't push the envelope, tell a straight down the middle story, give people what they expect from a Star Wars movie. 100% I'm actually fine with that - I think we'll see interesting stuff come from things like Obi-Wan and The Mandalorian.
I had a hard time picking them all out. Definitely will need a slowed-down home viewing to really pick them out.
I don't want to see the same things we've been seeing for 40 years now.
I want to see things I did not even know that I wanted.
You make millions doing the former.
You make billions even decades later doing the latter.
I'm disappointed they didn't figure out a way to insert baby yoda into the story. FAIL.
There was a little connection there with Rey being able to heal people and Kylo healing Rey at the end. I don't remember Jedi having healing powers in the past? Or am I completely forgetting times it has happened?
You mean like TFA? That movie literally did make billions, and it's the most derivative thing possible.
I liked it. It wasn't my favorite Star Wars movie, but it didn't need to be. To me, it needed to be a good ending to a phenomenal saga. In my opinion, it was a satisfying ending.
(pushes glasses up on nose) Actually force healing is a Sith Power, used for bringing people back to life. It properly demonstrates how she brought balance to the force by using force power from both the jedi and sith to end the empire and bring balance.
Interesting. What does that mean for "baby Yoda"? Also, why does healing come from the dark side of the force? That seams counter-intuitive. You are correct in that's how it's been portrayed in the movied, it just doesn't make sense to me. I can see bringing back people from the dead being a "dark side" power, but not healing.
Dude its Star Wars. Don't take it so seriously.
The OT made such an indelible cultural mark and created so many legions of lifelong fans that they have kept coming back for decades now... despite the crappy prequels and the, as you put it, the underwhelming and derivative sequels. But the series is not creating new crops of that. They either are not going to exist in the first place (e.g., the kids dig the MCU nowadays) or they are just going to walk away from it (as I have).
Star Wars is consuming itself as a commercial product, not investing in itself. The quick fall in returns between 7, 8, Rogue One, and Solo show that. You can make so much off mediocre films decades later because the originals really had that much of an impact.
Well, we also saw Baby Yoda start to Force choke the shock trooper while she was arm wrestling Mando, so my guess is Baby Yoda can tap into all Force powers in a raw sense.
I did not catch that "I Know" part of your spoiler, which has always been a favorite of mine from the originals. Makes me like this one even more.
I really did enjoy it, obviously there are always plot holes and they really packed this one full of stuff. Really wish Abrams would have done all 3 movies, then some of that would have been in the 2nd one. Overall I think it was pretty good, loved a lot of it, could do with out a little, but exceeded my expectations and think it was about as good of an ending as this trilogy could have had.
I think overall there is no such thing as light or dark side force powers. Those are simply the construct through which the Jedi and Sith see them. But characters like Bendu from Rebels show that the force in nature is very much residing in the "grey" area.
I always took it as the dark side was willing to break down "barriers" that the jedi had set for themselves as to not be the all-powerful beings in the universe. A jedi consciously made a choice that it wouldn't tap into the intense power that comes with the force, but rather harness the power and use it for good. My belief was Sith could revive and rejuvenate because they were constantly willing to push the limits of what they could do.
