#luv that rey and finn reveal to the audience but kylo reveals to rey

[elvesofnoldor]

anyways now that i finally got it over with and watched tros, i got some thoughts^tm abt tros nobody asked for

things i absolute love:   1. young luke and leia sparring in a flashback  2. when all the voices of jedi speak through rey to grant her strength i think one of them was ahsoka’s!!! anyways we love ahsoka!!! i never thought i’d even hear her voice in a major star wars movie and im happy that i did  3. lando’s presence in the entire film  things i don’t love and kinda hate:  1. ok first of all, i actually like  the film ending on tatooine and with a shot of rey looking over the twin suns--the fact that the story ends where it begins...beautiful. BUT it’s still unsatisfying because rey isn’t a true skywalker, she just adopted that name. when it’s revealed that rey is a sheev (palpatine isn’t a last name lol even tho they kept referring to her as a palpatine), it seems the audience i watched the movie with thought it makes perfect sense and i suppose it does, but it’s still a shitty answer to rey’s true parentage, esp considering that....idk, nothing about her as a character--already as bland as she is--suggest this. 2. the fact that the tros interacted but they don’t get along, at all. its like, what’s the point again?  3. finn and poe and characters of colour being sidelined. it’s absolutely true, they are. it was all about rey and kylo, but EVEN THEN, lmao, if u gonna focus on these two bland ass characters, might as well make it so that their arcs make some sense? but no, their arcs make not even cents ok luv, not even one single cent. rey and her relationship with, like, anger and the dark side is like such rushed arc that never really gets explored in three whole movies but thats the whole point of her struggle lmao. the story in tros is all about them and their story doesnt even make no cents, so how good the story is gonna be   4. the over-simplistic portrayal of light side vs dark side conflict 5. the whole hux was a spy for the resistance thing was such cheap joke, its so stupid. what a shitty villain he is

6. this movie as a whole, its a mess and it’s not even jj’s fault. there were so much shits crucial to this movie that were never even mentioned in the last two films in the trilogy or the other major movies OR EVEN THE EXTENDED UNIVERSE. it says that leia rejected the offer to train with luke after she discovered that she’s luke’s sister in like a new EU book material but it shows in this film that they did train and she had a whole ass lightsaber? since when? luke was searching for sith pathfinder (why not holocron instead huh, why not holocrons) with lando??? since when??? and if he was on this mission, then why the fuck did he abandon the search and decided to be a hermit? how did palpatine figured out how to make thousands of star destroyers that are basically thousands of death stars? because that’s a thing now? how come nobody came for help in tlj and now everybody came in this movie? no explanation whatsoever? finn knows that he’s force sensitive now, very great stuff, but how? and when? this shit should be introduced in tlj but obvs rian jackson went and fucked it over. poe was used to be involved in spice/drug dealing business? how??? since when? he was always the son of rebel veterans and that was all? damn whats the role hes playing in this trilogy at this point? tros is trying to introduce a whole bunch of new plots and concepts from holes in the ground, if it’s already doing that, why did they scratch jj’s idea of having son of mortis to be the antagonist of the film? it makes sense that an literal embodiment of force who’s been interested in anakin skywalker as the chosen one this entire time is somehow involved in creation of rey or is shown to be manipulating the skywalker bloodline. this villain’d connect rey to the heart of the star wars in an unexpected way and better justifies her adopting the skywalker name. i hate this movie and it’s actually not even this movie’s fault, lucasfilm’s poor planning years in the making and rian johnson’s jackass deciding to take the middle instalment of the trilogy as an his fanfiction independent film are the reasons why this movie and the trilogy are the mess it is.  to be fair, star wars stories has always been products of various groups of people starting with george himself winging it and dealing with what they came up with as they go, and sometimes what they came up with were better than the others and thats all. star wars is never truly good and we should just take whatever we like from what is now a disney cash grab franchise and go!
