Just watched The Last Jedi. IT’S SO GOOD I WAS IN TEARS. We applauded several times in the theater, which is a rare thing in Taiwan (we are usually quiet, laughing is usually the only thing we do)
HUGE SPOILERS UNDERCUT!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Poe called Hux “general Hoax” I AM DEAD.
Poe is the son Leia deserves. I like that he does have flaws, he thinks and acts like an one man army because he has the skills, which is great as a soldier but Leia hopes he can be more. He learned to retreat, to think more than “blast this ship”. I hope he’ll take the leader role in the next episode.
I wonder how they round up Leia’s story in her absence… she is the heart of the Resistance…
Leia can use the Force!!! That scene in the space is so beautiful but terrifying too. For a moment I thought she’s dead. Don’t scare me like that.
Why they have to kill Ackbar… he’s like… always there…
Luke’s story is the most heart wrenching. It’s where I got teared up. I think with a limited time, they did give the background story between Luke and Ben Solo a tragic and sufficient twist. It is sad that even Luke can be taken over buy fear and had a dark moment. Even though he changed his mind but it’s too late and turned out to be the worst case scenario. No wonder he felt responsible.
Luke’s last moment though. He pulled an Obi-Wan Kenobi that is 1000 times sassier than Obi-Wan Kenobi which probably cannot be surpassed.
How powerful is Luke that he can force-broadcast himself across the galaxy??? And he can actually touch things with his force-projection???
Kylo Ren. I think seeing Luke trying to kill him as the last straw to push him to the dark side is a much more convincing reason than what they said on the interviews.
Rey had such an emotional ride through the movie. I like that even though she was willing to reach out to Kylo Ren and offered hope after she learned the whole story between Kylo and Luke, she’s not swayed when Kylo Ren asked her to join him to the dark side. It’s good to see that she has moments of confusion, sadness, and weakness, but she still sticks to the right choices.
I wonder if Rey counts as a Jedi-Jedi since what she learned from Luke is not really about Jedi but the force itself.
Interestingly I think Kylo really wants Rey to be with her, not even in a romantic sense but in more of a force companion (??) sense. But I think Rey is more like… she can get why Kylo become what he is but it’s not enough to convince/convert her.
Force-webcam is such an evil idea. I can foresee so many fics coming lol
“Mild nudity” heh, I just remembered that. Now I know where that is. PS: it’s Kylo Ren’s bare upper body. Love it when Rey commented “can’t you wear a robe or something?” lmao
Rose’s story made me want to cry. She lost so much but she still kept fighting.
Finn is so determined and brave. I know he and Rose’s plan didn’t work in the end because some bastard betrayed them but I don’t think that’s the point of his story. He was willing to risk everything and go back to a place he wanted to flee in the last film just to give the others a chance of survival. I was so worry when he almost did a suicide crush to the ram-cannon.
Finn smacked Phasma right in the head. Stars above, that must felt so good.
Now they will released a broken mask version of Phasma toy, right? *wink to Hasbro*
And I bet Phasma didn’t die. That’s some
Schrödinger’s explosion ;))))
I guess that’s my short review about tlj… I need to watch it again in 2D to see more detail…
