I dunno. I have mixed feelings on this one. Yeah, Rey didn't really train or anything, but she also wasn't showing off her skills the entire movie. Another thing... Kylo Ren saved her life.

Dun dun dun dun..... Does it matter at this point? Doesn't change TFA, doesn't save this new movie from being garbage. Right?

Never fear, virgins - most useful thing she does is move some rocks. But she is tempted by the dark side, and also falls into the "trying to change a bad boy" routine to reaffirm your friend zoned embitterment. All in all, The Last Jedi is your personal safe space.

I like how they had Rey move those rocks like this was gonna be her big moment, LMAO.

Not so much because Disney reacts to audience criticism. That’s why Maz was given less screen time. Now Rose is the Mary Sue.

At least Finn got to fight Phasma himself. It was funny seeing Rose having to run from blaster fire.

Less Maz is a plus for this movie Could've sworn they were watching Saturday morning cartoons. Such a worthy role for an Oscar winner. At least Lupita gets to show her face when she plays slaves and Africans.

I wonder if Disney capitulated and the hologram was someone else or even CG?

Rey is an insufferable little pig-faced know it all.
And yes, she was an overpowered MaRey Sue, worse than TFA.

Anyone else notice how: - Finn was once again a coward - his female co-lead once again knocked him on his ass - Finn finished his first film in a coma; now Rose finishes her first film in a coma... Could it be love? LOL, Rey: Don't go! Rose: *zap!*

I would say Rey's always a MarySue until they need her not to be in order to advance the plot. It just so happens in TLJ that they needed her to a little more than in TFA.

I would call it amazing, but that's just me i guess. It's just you. I defended the fuck out of TFA. But this shit that Rian Johnson just pulled was infuriating. He shit all over the franchise and laughed when he did it. I'll boycott anything he works on - including the new trilogy - for as long as he's in Hollywood. He's a real piece of shit who doesn't deserve to shine Jar Jar Binks' boots.

He's a real piece of shit who doesn't deserve to shine Jar Jar Binks' boots. what was so jarring about the movie? I thought it was brilliant how they stayed away from the norm. Everything sucked about the movie. Everything. Like someone else said on this board, it's like they were daring us to stop watching. Well I concede. I'll watch IX out of pure morbid curiosity, but I WILL NOT pay a dime to watch anything that Rian Johnson directs again. So I'm out when it comes to the new trilogy. Nobody should have touched this franchise besides George. Kennedy is a dope and not qualified, obviously. I thought it could be done and TFA gave me hope, but this movie kicked me right in the dick. The plot was stupid and excruciatingly boring. There were several things that made no sense and were complete plot holes. What happened to Snoke and Luke was a joke. Yoda scene was a joke. They ruined Hux and pulled me right out of the film when they turned him into a "making-fun-of-our-own-movie" joke. There was either no character development or bad character development across the board. They shit the bed with Kylo's character. They shit the bed with the entire First Order and its reason for existing. They brought in new Force powers and never developed them. They turned astral projection into some kind of life-sucking event when it's never been that way in past SW lore. They made a big deal about the Jedi Temple, tree, books, etc, and then dismissed them without explaining them in the least. I mean, I'm just being honest...you couldn't have made a worse movie if you'd tried.
