[QUOTE=ThePanther;52987362]I'm genuinely confused: In TFA, it is established that the Empire is gone and the only remnants are the First Order which up till then haden't been a real big threat... By the end of TFA, First Order destroyed a few Alliance systems, but that was only once. The Alliance came back and DESTROYED star-killer base, First Order's only established operating headquarters. They seem to be almost eradicated by the end of TFA.
[sp] How are they now the dominating force in the galaxy at the beginning of TLJ? They don't explain it! They just come out, right off the bat saying the First Order have taken over somehow... This movie greatly suffers from poor plot writing[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]They fucking blew up every major supporter of the resistance, so most people just shut the fuck up and allowed them to take over while the resistance which once was supported fell into disrepair[/sp]
Reminder that [sp]the reason the resistance exists to begin with is because the primary seat of the republic did not see the first order as a threat, allowing them to bolster their forces. The resistance, by all means, was an insurrection group only supported by a handful of people on the galactic scale whereas the rest of the galaxy was pretty much okay with the first order gathering forces. It took them thirty years to build up an armada and a weapon sufficient enough in scope and strength to blitz the republic into submission.[/sp]
Also iirc the surrounding media establish that [sp]the first order used their funds to boost small crime gangs into massive, highly cooperative crime syndicates that wrecked havok inside of the republic so it was easier for them to bully the whole government into submission. This lead to political dissent and various factions seceding from the republic in order to join the first order, causing a domino effect over a few years.[/sp]
tbh the movie pretty much blew half the trilogy's load right then and there. Like half the stuff in it should have happened in Episode IX, especially [sp]Luke dying, since Han's dead and Leia is going to have to be out of the picture in the next movie.[/sp]

I find that debatable seeing as [sp]Jedi have a history of coming back and his death would have taken too much space in IX. This way it allows people to process the film and the death of an extremely iconic character and when he likely comes back as a spirit in IX people will be able to react to it a bit better than if he had died and reappeared within the same film.[/sp]
I just got back from watching this, and maybe I'm just dumb/naive but it was honestly my favorite entry in the series thus far. The first forty minutes dragged, and I remember thinking "is this going to be the whole movie? maybe the rotten tomatoes score was right." but the moment it's revealed that[sp]luke attempted to kill kylo ren first, out of fear.[/sp] i was hooked from then on out and it only got better from there. a lot of his points are stretches, though there are some genuinely weird/awful stuff [sp]the casino, the weird horror movie leia flying through space, and the weird animal abuse rushed subplot[/sp] but this movie held my breath for the last hour and a half. i never knew what to expect, and it played out very few cliches [sp] like kylo suddenly turning good, or staying evil. now they're caught in a weird force balance that definitely needs to be elaborated on in the future episode, but it's a great idea[/sp]
if the story elaborated and thoroughly fleshed out every single thing joe wanted, the movie would be tens of hours long. does he not remember that even in the OT, vader and sidious display almost zero shows of force despite being talked up as these badass demi-gods, do almost no fighting (or much at all besides standing menacingly by windows and barking orders), and literally almost nothing is explained about them? i mean, he wants a full fleshed out story for [sp]snoke, rose & finn (at least in a way that doesn't feel rushed), phasma, rey's training, etc[/sp]
some of that stuff is just straight nitpicking/subjectively wrong. like [sp] wanting rey's parent to be some huge huge character like luke or han? why? holy fuck talk about cliche.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Lime-alicious;52987057]It's a polarizing film. Like every Star Wars. Surprised?[/QUOTE]
Since when are Star Wars movies polarising? Both TFA and Rogue One got widely positive reception from critics as well as audiences.
