    I agree! The first shot looked a little wierd to me, but after that i thought it looked very good. I heard the rumors that he would be in it, and was a little afraid he would look like the prequels. I cried AND laughed in his scene.

    I was surprised with his apparition. I didnt take seriously the rumors about him in TLJ. What a good surprise. And yes the scene almost made me cry.

    That scene was so good, the ESB callbacks, the humor, the relationship, the wiping of Jedi slate...

    This movie is like a layer upon layer upon layer, I can't even begin to unpack it.

    Yeah. We are talking about the same old character from the OT, the character that I love: sense of humor and some dosis/act of surprise in his actions. Trying steel the lantern from Luke in TESB, and put fire on the holy tree in TLJ are examples. These scenes are part of what Yoda really is.

    RJ all but warned us a while back that this wasn't Snoke's story and we'd only see of him what serves the plot. I'd be willing to get money that we'll get a book covering Snoke's rise and the beginnings of the First Order. The BF2 DLC story covers a little on how the FO was kidnapping kids to man it's vast army and how big and prepared that the FO is. We'll get more.

    No, i refuse to read a book about something that Rian should have told us about in the film. But i guess he had to focus on the porgs.

    Just finished my first screening of "The Last Jedi" with my sons and for now my first opinions are:

    - TLJ is a very well directed Movie in a Cinematographer point of view But TFA had a much superior Photography, perhaps benefiting form open spaces, and better Sound Effects all around.

    - The story is AMAZING, despite some minor lacks and pauses on the first half, i didn't enjoy Canto Bligh as well, but it's ORIGINAL and very well presented to the audience, surprising even with the moments we are already expecting. Very Good Story!!

    - Kylo Ren, i must say again and again, is the BEST Star Wars Character EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    - Rey's story is starting to build momentum, i guess she would rule the Episode IX, and definitely LOVED the Rey No One implied (thank good it's time to move on). But the suportting characters got their parts diminuted despite a very strong performance by Poe, the one that should died in the beggining of TFA.

    - Really impressed with Snoke and his guards.

    - Loved the ending, does this mean a Galaxy filled with Force Users?

    - But i must state the bad use of a character like Luke Skywallker, i'm fine with the perspect is just too powerfull to handle on the whole story and he should leave to allow others to step up but they could deliver Luke's last actions on screen with more Power and Dignity (even with this very bad opinion i believe the movie is super good). By the Way, i Hate Porghs, they aren't usefull in a SW Movie.

    To Me this Movie is a Solid 5 out of 5 mainly because i loved the Plot and the characters. And My Sons LOVED IT, despite "No UTINI", and for now i'm handling a serious Kylo Ren Crisis.

    It's not even reasonable to expect them to break away from the main narrative to take a trip down memory lane for Snoke. We went an entire trilogy without knowing anything at all about Palpatine and it was an amazing trilogy.

    I did not watch this but I like Steele Saunders who is with Jason Ward. I will watch it after I see TLJ tomorrow night. This is a SPOILER reaction video just after they had seen it.

    To you who have seen it, do you feel we are looking at the time jump between TLJ and IX? Pushing it 3-4 years forward could also be how they with Leia and lead to the all out war.

    How dare RJ not write the story you wanted.

    Yes, boycott the book. That'll show em! Be the spark to light the fire to bring RJ down!

    Absolutely. I expect a jump of at least 4 years for Episode IX. The Resistance is dead and basically needs to be rebuild from scratch and it will take time to do it. In the meantime Supreme Leader Kylo Ren will enforce First Order and will completely dominate the Galaxy , maybe declaring the begin of a 2nd Empire and call himself Emperor. I could see that. He will also be obsessed to find Rey that in the meanwhile will have managed to shut down their Force connection for good and will have gone to some other secret Jedi place to finish her training (maybe with ghost Luke, who knows) and to rebuild the lightsaber (or, better, to build a new one. I hope for a double-bladed Bastila type of it )

    First impressions, really liked it. Not in love with it at the moment, but i definitely enjoyed it.
    Rian took it into a direction i wasn't expecting, i respect that and i have to adjust to it but i definitely feel like this film will grow on me with more viewings.

    Vast majority of the characters were on point. Stand outs for me were Kylo and Rey. Great chemistry and tension between those two.
    Loved the tone of the film. Dark, but still very funny at moments.
    Liked everything "new" in the film. The new worlds (especially the casino world), porgs, mini ice direwolves and most of the new characters
    Visuals were amazing, and music was on point as always.

    Some of my little gripes come with parts of the plot and some key moments that really took me out of the film. This including Leia's superman through space moment, and other moments of humour that felt out of place and kinda sitcom/cartoony. I did not like how Luke was treated towards the end. I was kinda looking forward to seeing him swing that lightsaber one more time, but what happened does fit in with his character arch in this film.

    Looking forward to seeing it again :)

    again with a bunch of characters got wiped out by Darth Rian, I am very curious to see how JJ is going to complete the ST... especially around Finn as he was the guy who asked JB to be part of all these and named him a lead
