    I like ep7 honestly. It has problem, but it’s also…fun? Ep8 is pure nonsense(carpet bomber in space…? Jedi leia?) and it makes me drop the whole franchise. I heard ep9 is even more nonsense.

    I fell asleep watching ep1 lol.

      Jedi Leia has some formerly canonical basis. She should have already been a full Jedi well before ep7 even if you throw out the entire EU, as Disney did.

      Resetting canon to only include the movies and shows was criminal in my opinion, since they would have literally had decades worth of scripts in those books.

          that is a much more coherent opinion, and one I share completely. They absolutely should have had Leia training Rey in some capacity first, although I have to assume Fisher’s age, if not her health, may have influenced their decisions on where to take her character.

            My theater broke out in laughter at the scene. The problem isn’t that Leia can use the force. The problem is that it’s the only force use that moves the user, at least it’s depicted that way. There’s also the lack of vacuum in the whole scene, or did Leia also give herself a force spacesuit while being blown away?

                The force doesn’t follow physics, if it did Yoda would have been crushed several times. If the ship did move to her, I would expect the people on the ship to notice the sudden change in direction, and all the fighters should notice as well, but no one calls it out. There’s also people just standing I’m what should be a vacuum on the ship where she lands, and those people are just fine.

                The whole scene is a great example of style over substance. The repeated use of these scenes makes the movie worse.a

        Anything before makes some sense, but a sloooooow moving carpet bomber that only works when on top of other spacecraft? I find it hard to believe it’s mass produced, that’s where i have to suspend my logical sense on top of my disbelieve for it to make sense, and it’s only one small part of the problem.
