Comedy gold. Literally in the opening crawl and then some background character was like "I don't know, dark force powers, cloning or some shit" and that was all we got 🤣

Watch that and then the "By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings" line from Galaxy Quest.

It's the exact same pained expression, but Oscar Isaac's is real.

Definitely needed explained better (or at all).

I don't really mind it as a plot twist, but it shouldn't have just come out of nowhere. I'm still not clear on exactly what is supposed to have happened there.

Also, there was that weird thing where they announced it in Fortnite, wtf was that about.

This was honestly so funny, it's hard to be mad at them for just not even giving a shit. Yeah we could pull an explanation out of our asses that won't make any sense, or we just throw that libe at people.

Never thought of this, you're not wrong.

On the other side her dying because she lost the will to life... is kind of a good explanation for an unlikely death in such an advanced civilization.

Obviously they could simply keep her alive despite any actual medical condition. So what else could she die of... except for a spiritual (I don't know a better description) reason.

Kind of a "so bad it's actually good" explanation.

It was explained in one of the comics that she died because Vader was unknowingly siphoning her life energy to keep himself alive.

The scene is still dumb and definitely needed a better explanation but it is what it is at this point

I know we're dealing with human aliens, but there is actually a thing called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome", where your heart weakens as a result of emotional trauma.

It is rarely fatal, but deaths have occurred as a result of it.

They weren't using gravity, they were electromagnetic rails that shot the bombs out of the bay into the enemy ships. I mean it's still dumb since you could fire them from further away, just not dumb for the gravity reason.

I like the fan theory that he unknowingly mind tricked her into falling in love with him, because that's the only explanation for how she could fall in love with someone that makes me want to hide my face in shame out of cringe.

This is why I hated Attack of the Clones.

I know the love story is important, but it was bloody tedious to watch.

The whole "REEEEE SINCE WHEN DOES LEIA HAVE FORCE POWERS?!??!" shit is just...goddamn it

There was SO MUCH wrong with that movie, and you picked the most obvious, easily explained, not-in-any-way-a-plot-hole scene?

It had to be people who never actually saw the original trilogy. That's the only explanation.

Grandpa Wookiee watching vr porn is something no one should have to witness

A generation of George Lucas's thought that was peak romantic dialog.

Thank you. I see so many people say this was one of the best scenes of the prequels, but I can still remember my stunned disappointment when I saw it in theaters.

Yoda is supposed to be this great sage who is so powerful he never cared about violence or fighting skills. But lolnope, turns out he can actually fight, and when he does he looks like a monkey who did a rail of coke then grabbed onto a glowstick.

Agreed, I absolutely hated that scene.

Some of these are just awful takes man, I’m sorry.

Like Jar Jar, fair enough, he’s shitty CGI, he has bad writing, and is a pretty weak addition to the prequels. Same with the Leia scene, it looks awful and ruins what could have been an impactful death, with an almost cartoonish feel at odds with the seriousness of the rest of the film.

But the Holdo manoeuvre scene is one of the most visually striking moments in the entirety of Star Wars. It has awesome sound design, great acting, it’s just a really impressive moment with real impact.

The scene where Kylo kills Han is also really well done. The lighting is fantastic, it has some great acting, again, great sound design and a really impactful moment with a lot of suspense, and Chewie’s pained reaction is unforgettable.

The casino planet isn’t a single scene and is more of a story arc, but the introduction of the Canto Bight casino is a pretty typical Star Wars scene, almost formulaic at this point, but is executed well - if you take issue with that one and not the introduction of Takadana, I’d be curious as to why.

I think the worst scene on Canto Bight is where Finn and Rose meet DJ, the hacker. It’s very awkward and stilted, the writing is pretty poor IMO, both the dialogue and the characterisation. I think DJ is a cool character and his writing is fine, but the scene itself and Finn/Rose’s behaviour is really strange.

True but that scene was still trash. She should have died.

The Plinkett reviews are probably the best thing about the prequels existance.

The hover bike chase, dear lord.

I honestly find adult Anakin to be way more annoying.
