Force users use holocrons. A huge multi species order doesn’t use a one language book. Movie took a dump on the expanded universe.

Shit film. It was.

At least she was awarded with a sense of accomplishment

I mean, spoiler alert anybody but this isnt big, she DID take the box of books from the temple

Spoiler alert - she took the books. I wonder did Luke even read them...

Pageturners, they were not

I don't undestand

TLJ has a very powerful jedi character with very little training. In SW Battlefront, you have to unlock powerful characters by buying boxes.
MagmarHasAbuttOnHisForehead
Well that explains it all.
Fragatron3000
What Rey actually take away from Luke’s “training”? L: it’s time for the Jedi to end. R: Nope! And I’m taking these too, bye

The X-Wing fighter had resistors as part of its electronics. Noticed when Poe D was attacking the Dreadnought and the robot was fixing it.
KamSolastor
That’s why it’s a resistance fighter! Anyone? Anyone? No? I’ll see myself out then...
jofed
Good one. Maybe I should of pointed out the 70s technology. ICs were just making their way into the consumer market.

This was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, along with the dramatic clothes iron.

Holy fuck, that was hilarious.

Notice they used the old film for Yoda and it the new version.
AdmiralJohn
That made me giddy... I was like "Yoda!" when I saw his ears and "Puppet Yoda!!!" when they showed him full-on.
timmy26
Wouldn’t you? Yoda in the last Jedi looks terrible. Like how the fuck do you screw something up that was mastered in the 80s
CatsIsTheAnswer
They had a choice: make a new one and have fans complain for continuity or use the old one and have fans complain it looks like shit
Shrodax
Of course Yoda looks terrible... He is dead, after all.

TonyMontanasBalls
TLJ is a product of our ADHD instant gratification Mega LOLs society. Stupid humour, random plots thrown in, CGI galore - the list goes on
jrntn
I bet you half the stuff you think is "CGI galore" is actually not. The crystal critters, for instance, are fully animatronic
SenkiAlfonz
Sad, but true.
TonyMontanasBalls
Who cares about a cohesive storyline? We have Porgs! OMG YOLO SO CUTE RIGHT
jexsam
Shockingly, the Porgs were far from the worst part. They were pretty harmless, really.
TonyMontanasBalls
Actually - after writing that I did think to myself that the porgs were a highlight of the film
BloodyTanookiSuit
jexsam
Right? Their comedy beats were the best executed. Finn and Poe were just okay and every Luke/Rey gag felt wrong for their characters.
dowingba
When did Luke have years of training?
TehSeksyManz
He needed years to know EVERYTHING, like he said.
Gandarel
Between Episode 5 and 6.
jrntn
there's, like, a year between those. Sure, that's longer, but, it's not exactly ages.
stickitinuryolo
When Luke went back to finish his training, Yoda was sick and died.
Gandarel
Yes, and in the 3 years between the movies they trained together from time to time. When he went one last time, he died.
stickitinuryolo
It was only one year http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/star-wars/feature/a825727/star-wars-timeline-chronology-phantom-menace-to-last-jedi/
Jupman
Exactly forget the the EU. He had a couple of days of flips and lifting the x-wing. Most jedi start as kids.
Coolbacca
Yeah but he also wasn't much of a jedi and lost almost every fight he was in
TankDrop
He spent AT LEAST a month on Dagobah training. And then he wasn't even that competent of a Jedi. Only deemed himself a knight at Jabba's.
jrntn
He spends a few days on Dagobah, not nearly a month
TankDrop
Pablo Hidalgo, a chief writer for LucasArts confirmed it took at least a month for the Falcon to get to Bespin on its fucked up hyperdrive.
TankDrop
Luke left Hoth and went straight to Dagobah which is apparently 2 day journey. He only left when he sensed his friends in danger on Bespin.
socksy420
Am I the only one who thought the entire film was absolutely lazy and uncreative? Low hanging jokes littered the whole film as well as...
lurklurkingmclurk
It felt as if they realize half point they have a mess on the plot then decided to start again by recreating the whole rebellion plot.
DelaysAction
Yeah and most of it is just copy pasting scenes and concepts from ESB and ROTJ with slight twists to it. Worst movie of the year for me.

jofed
Lack luster empty characters. Not one that interested me in their development. Except for the hacker guy DJ who sold them out.
socksy420
Multiple loopholes, like why was the acting commander against finns mission? Why did rose risk the entire resistance's life for "love?"
stickitinuryolo
Fin was disobeying orders. She was not taking the risk - he was.
socksy420
In which situation? He was taking a selfless risk in both and shouldve been awarded a medal of honor! Why would that bother anyone lol???
stickitinuryolo
When he was flying into the giant cannon, he was ignoring Poe's order to abort. but idk how she "loved" him after one day. that's dumb.
jimmyriba
The whole thing was a lot of "but why?" that didn't lead anywhere or have a purpose except to get rid of everything that was set up in VII.
socksy420
Yup... 'but why' did luke say he saw the worst evil in Rey??? She was nothing but pure goodness...
DestianUnderscore
Because the dark side invited her and she didn't even try to resist.
ImmortanJimBob
She wasn't trying to turn to the dark side, she was holding out hope that Kylo would turn to the light.
jrntn
Because it depended on a million variables, failed as expected and directly led to the deaths of countless resistance fighters
socksy420
Because of ANOTHER loophole which was clearly the delusional writers direction lol! That code breaker had no way to know those plans!
jrntn
It's so painfully obvious that you don't actually have legitimate criticism of the film and are just latching on to random BS to hate it
jrntn
Dude, watch the fucking film, he does. He literally overhears Poe telling Finn and Rose that Holdo is loading people onto transports
kubit
Am I the only one who thought the movie was quite good?+
Ginkawa
I agree with you. though I think people keep trying to think that Rey is the main character of this trilogy. I don't think she is.
uchronian9
yeah it’s pretty much just you
Jupman
I not a fan at all. I thought it was good. But story wise I don't know where it's going.
jrntn
The Last Jedi was fucking fantastic
steam1218
plenty of people enjoyed the movie and plenty of people found fault i parts but still found enjoyment. The Star wars and Star Trek fanbase+
steam1218
has some of the most toxic fanbases I ever encountered. so if some of them are upset for any reason you damn well gonna hear it.
xrufus7x
Nope. Even on Rotten Tomatoes it has quite a few positive reviews they are just polarized. The cinemascore has been overwhelmingly 1/2
xrufus7x
2/2 positive as has the critical response and the IMDB score is 76 which is OK.
yindoom
Nah, I think people are just super divided. Some love it, some hate it, here we have a bunch of the latter
sumowoman
I see the faults but I enjoyed it. Definitely better than the boring-ass prequels.
Gandarel
It's treason, then.
Riptide00
Mary Sue, named her her parents did.
DraxusBane
No no. It's ok. She kind of sort of messed up that one time. She didn't MEAN to cut that rock in half with the lightsaber.
Countercheck
It wasn't so bad in the first film except for her inexplicable ability to fly the Falcon so well, but in LTJ she's simply ridiculous.
Razblaze
I enjoyed Rey in TFA, but after watching the TLJ. I agree. Mary Sue. It's also a feminist movie. Every lead woman role is represented by
Razblaze
a strong, independent, never wrong, and unwavering personality. While the lead men roles are represented by impulsiveness, emotionally
Razblaze
conflicted, and stubborn personalities.
DelaysAction
The woman are fairly stupid in the movie though. They could have just told Poe their plans. And Rey just going straight to Ben is dumb.
DelaysAction
And they are violent. Leia slaps Poe, and if I remember correctly. Rey attacks and even draws a lightsaber at Luke.
Irishda
She was wrong though. Ren didn't turn the way she thought
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresdenIsMyPatronus
He turned on his master. She just didn't see beyond that. He saw he was being used and manipulated, and broke free.
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresdenIsMyPatronus
I can't tell if everything after "Mary Sue" is criticism or praise. Please clarify. Seriously.
TotallyNotStartingAnArgument
aka they took typical womens roles and stuck men in them, and typical mens roles and stuck women in them?
pinecone
Basically.
Jusmar
Turns out it's still messy writing regardless of gender.
wetllama
Bought Loot boxes, she did
BurroWreck
So did Po at the very beginning. You think he could take on a dreadnought on his own without those starcards.
ThisCouldBeYourAdvertisement
It should be "Buy loot boxes, she did." You can't say "she did bought".
rusty6899
“Loot boxes, she bought” or “bought loot boxes, she has” would be better imo
Cheomesh
He speaks a few sentences in that scene that are not in typical yoda format.
Dalumbr
Atleast a few, i think the balance was more not than actually right. Still nice to see him
wlfman
yeah, it was really offputting how little he followed the TYF - almost slightly annoying, even
prozack8356
He did so in empire as well. Nice return to form
Cheomesh
Come to think of it I believe you're right, that was when he broke his "Hermit" character?
prozack8356
Nah. All the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YkbgvRMpW0
prozack8356
Half of what he is saying is normal talk.
Cheomesh
Huh. Guess their wholesale use of it in the prequels colored how I remember all of his speech.
EverydayIdleness
You don't need the apostrophe in "knows".
BannedForNSFW03
1stLtObvious
"It's springtime for grammar and apostrophes!"
ialwayssaywhyiupvotestuff
Thanks for that. Seriously.
GeneralBullshit
My friend wants to know why
Parj13
You only use an apostrophe + s to show possession with a noun, normally singular. The word 'know' is a verb and doesn't require 1/2
Parj13
An apostrophe before or after the 's'. 2/2
GeneralBullshit
My friend says thanks

abundantbadgers
I don't think people understand Yoda meant it LITERALLY that she "had everything in her possession" because she took the Jedi texts.
Theoldredeyes
Ya i mean the camera slows way down for that part and zooms in how in the world anybody miss that.
jexsam
I'm not sure that's true given how bad a lot of the rest of the writing is but that's definitely a possibility.
abundantbadgers
Well whether RJ initially meant it, the fact that it's shown Rey took the texts explicitly means it WILL be the meaning of that line.
IHateYouAll69
What bothered you so much about the writing?
Sourceisalie
Why didn't they use the escort ships hyperdrive to kill them? Or the death star or star killer base. Why not just build hyperdrive Rams?
IHateYouAll69
Because that involves kamikaze pilots and there's already few enough of them as it is.
Sourceisalie
Well there was two ships that had their captains just die for zero reason. Why wouldn't they kamikaze?
TheGhostofElizabethShue
"Laser sword" bothered me, but it turns out Anakin says it in episode 1 so apparently it's good enough for George Lucas.
BloodyTanookiSuit
That was what they were originally going to be called, but it got changed because light saber sounded cooler. Also Luke is a sarcastic dick.
jexsam
It feels like the writers are flying by the seat of their pants for almost everything with no direction or goal.
jexsam
Not to say it was *all* bad - (spoilers) - the bit about Rey's parents was pretty smart, if disappointing, and Luke's "strike me down" 1/2
IHateYouAll69
That's a pretty general criticism. I haven't heard many points other than "I didn't like" this or that. Seems like it's an opinion issue.
jexsam
moment was a wonderful way to progress Kylo's story. But nearly everything else felt meandering at best and pointless at worst.
abundantbadgers
Imo the positives outweigh the negatives there. The "lessons," although sparse, showed philosophically, the writers had a good understanding
PhailRaptor
Nobody I've talked to about the movie noticed the books in the drawn when Fin pulls out the blanket for Rose
littleman00
Wait...WHAT. I've seen the movie three times. Totally missed that.
BurntOnMustafar
When she goes to get a blanket at the end of the movie
PhailRaptor

hardradadada
I did. Thief!
vauhtihirmu
Tbf, we only ever got a small moment with them previously in the film and Luke sort of told us they're not important.
KiwiGameDev
Same!
SoupCanMan
Oh good. I thought I was having a stroke.
smarthedragon
Everyone i have talked to noticed them, they were pretty unique looking.
airen
I noticed them but i was confused if they were the books or similiar
abundantbadgers
Yeah also right after the burning bush- uh tree scene, they showed a split second of her closing the drawer, but they're there... :)
ARealJonStewart
Literally the only paper shown in that universe. Kinda hard to miss em
jokteur
Yep, there are a few seconds in the film where you can see she took the books.
BuckBoost
Yeah, right at the end of the movie when a character opens a drawer, you see the books.
thunder2132
I noticed it once before that on a second watch through, but don't recall exactly when it was. It was less intentionally shown.
Ginkawa
yoda: luke: OMGWTFBBQ!!?!!?!1!! yoda:umadbro? those books were crazy boring right? luke:well yeah, but still important tho
abundantbadgers
johnnypickles
do you remember what scene? i wanna go back and re watch that
JohnnyGossamer
I think it's actually Finn opens a compartment to get a blanket to put over Rose and you see the books are in there.
johnnypickles
I'll give it a look
jokteur
I've have seen the film only once so I don't remember exactly, but near the end when she opens a drawer in the Millennium Falcon.
johnnypickles
ill try and spot it when it comes out on dvd. Thanks m8.
johnnypickles
though, tbf, the rey stuff doesnt bother me as much as the movie as a WHOLE bothers me.
coolkidwestern
If that’s enough for a comprehensive guide to the whole Jedi experience why did Luke go through years of training?
DianNaoChong
He had daddy issues to get over.
Delathi
He didn't? Luke did like 2 days of gymnastics in a swamp, ran away, came back, and Yoda said, 'Face Vader and your training is complete'
AdamBomb321
There did seem to be a lot more training and development between 5 and 6 that you're forgetting about.
MartinSandberg
No he was on dagobha for almost 6months
abundantbadgers
Also I'm sure that middle lull between when Luke learned about his Darth Father and when he strangles that jabba employee, he turned
abundantbadgers
AND THEN TURNED BACK. Hence his thing was green.
MartinSandberg
Luke did'nt turn to the dark side, he just found out that he could tap into the dark side and use its powers without getting corruptet
BurntAndBranded
Exactly. Why send Jedi through an entire lifetime of training if the texts were enough?
SaraWithoutAnH
Hubris
Kodaxmax
Everyone learns different, texts are mostly theory and philosophy,they wouldn't have much on modern martial arts or lightsabers in fact
Kodaxmax
the older the texts the less likely they are to have anything combat related in them, jedi didn't used be glorified zealots of a republic
RedClaws23
Because the Order isn't about teaching you to use the force, it's about brainwashing child soldiers into being emotionless assassins.
mbossman61
So you think for episode 9 there will be some time lapse where she has self trained? Like episode 6?
McMasterx
Idk how they wouldnt do that. There has to be a transition to pass Leia's death. Unless they plan on doing another CGI of her....
connor645
They already said they won’t recast or CGI her
JHawke
Forget luke, why were there entire academies of Jedi throughout the universe if all you needed was the 2 day leaflet.
RedClaws23
Because the Order isn't about teaching you to use the force, it's about brainwashing child soldiers into being emotionless assassins.

The only evidence that the empire killed Luke’s foster family is a claim by a religious extremist who lies about Luke’s father and sister.

I mean it was tho. Luke learned his skills in like a week, but Anakin was "too old" for enlistment because he was like 5
