References You Missed In The Last Jedi
video description
- Luke clearly recognized her when she showed up on the island
- She knows how to fly at a level on par with Han and Chewy.
- Her _almost_ unmatched ability with a lightsaber
- Luke asking her repeatedly Who are you. Like he's trying to make her remember what he already knows
- The Millennium Falcon parked and ready to go. minutes from her favourite trading post. What are the odds?
- Luke's own lightsaber called to her. It was waiting for her.
After the defeat of the Empire, it was up to Luke as the last living Jedi to rebuild the Jedi Order. That would mean making concessions to ancient rules, like how many padawans a master could have at one time. I think that Kylo and Rey were both padawans of Luke at the same time.
After Kylo's destruction of the academy, Luke fled with Rey to Jakku, with the help of Han and Chewy in the Falcon. Once on Jakku, Luke wiped everyone's memories of taking Rey there, as well as their memories of who she is. She'd be safe there until it was time for the force within her to awaken.
The Falcon was left behind as payment to the trader to watch over this scrap collector girl. Han and Chewy have no memory of this, of course. Luke implanted false memories of how they lost the Falcon.
Everyone goes their separate way, totally oblivious to what has just transpired. except Luke. He's the only one who knows her complete story, and Kylo is the only other person in the galaxy who knows her true identity as a Jedi padawan. That's why he is so cautious with her. so obsessed with her.
To hell with who Snoke is. We still don't have a frigging clue who Rey is. But this is the best and most plausible series of events I can come up with to logically piece it together. And it all lines up perfectly. Of course we have no idea if this possible story arch is how the writers will choose to go.

There are just to many changes to the characters in TLJ and not for the better. When you look back at what Yoda taught Luke on Dagoba about fear and how not to create your own. Luke was fully aware of that and he was also a stronger character, then what he was turned into. In the end of The Return of the Jedi, where he refuses to kill his own father. Knowing, feeling the conflict within him he turned to the Emperor and said I am a Jedi, like my father before me. So what Disney forgot or even discarded from the movie was the psychology and the power of the Jedis as a group. Yoda and Kenobi even Lukes father would have talked him out of taking any actions against Kylo, if they even would have needed it. The story is flawed at this point and that makes the entire character of Luke in the Later SW movies wrong. This is only on one character, there are a few others that does not work out if you look back at the earlier movies. To take one more thing, that is how the Jedi or even the Sith learn to use the force. To be strong in the force does not meen you can use it without training. So Reys ability to know how to do things is a twist that changes how the force works. The entire part of having a teacher someone to call your brother or sister even master is taken out. The slight reference scene to the Cave on Dagoba and the one Rey jumps down into is so small that only the die hard fans would have noticed it and even then with out the propper context of what the cave meens. Tying the knot back to fear and how to overcome it, is one if not the strongest traits of the Jedi. Fear is the path to hate and hate is the path to the darkside.

We didn't need a ten minute villain monologue about Snoke's origin story, which would've been completely irrelevant to the situation going on. He was always going to be killed off by the climax of the trilogy anyway. I like the direction they chose by killing him off, because it's not about bloody Snoke. It's about Kylo Ren, and his growth--not into the new Vader, but the new Palpatine. Snoke was never anything but a placeholder.
In TFA, Kylo Ren was a young man torn between his family and his lust for power. And although everyone thinks he's just a Vader wannabe, he never even says that. Vader was powerful, without question. He didn't want to BE Vader, he was just using Vader as a standard to live up to. Rey clarifies this. Kylo wanted to be AS STRONG as Darth Vader. He makes the decision that finally closes the chapter on his past, by killing his father, and making it clear that he will never go back.
In TLJ, he abandons his idolisation of Vader, and decides to get back into the fight - despite his serious injuries. He's still torn between his family and his lust for power, but ultimately he decides that power is all that matters to him, and he kills his master, and usurps his throne as Supreme Leader. He'd grown attached to Rey, but he abandons her too when he blames her for killing Snoke.
Over the course of this one movie, he achieved everything that even Vader couldn't: he took off his mask, killed Luke Skywalker, killed his master, and now he rules the Galaxy.

I thought this movie was a fantastic amazing story that made Luke look amazing, I have never seen him look better then when he was jerking off the sea walrus and truly showed us some character development to tie us in with the characters. It also had one of the biggest reveals with the villain then anyone expected. Also I adored leia doing the super man was stunning! I loved kylo without his shirt it truly was a dark film. I can't get over the part where fin is leaking water out of his suit in the beginning it was phenomenal. He looked like such a dumbass! I also thought it was the best move ever made in a star wars film to have admiral holdo drench her hair in purple hair die. But nothing can top the part where chewbacca is about to eat that adorable little porg, easily the best scene in star wars history. My all time favorite part of it all is reys power she's Incredible, not an idea in the world how but wow she kills anything she touches, truly a Jedi master at heart. The thing that really helps me understand why why people love this film is the one liner jokes there amazing! Theres a your mama joke in there as well ahhahaha thats great film! Thank you ran Johnson. (NOT)

1 - Luke's hand wouldn't have been repaired after all these years? Plus it was covered in fake flesh in his youth. Why would he take it off? Plot hole.
2 - Another plot hole.
3 - That dog's cameo is absolutely meaningless and barely recognisable even for those who would personnally know Carrie Fisher's dog.
4 - Yep, another plot hole. Rey just pulls aeons of knowledge out of instinct. She's overpowered without reason.
5 - That magazine simply shoots unused info just to make it all seem more plain. Details like those are meaningfull when they are in the movie, or another movie/novel/song/whatever.
6 - Well I hope so. Because for now Snoke is anything but a decent character.
7 - Meh, if you say so.
8 - So an actor voiced an alien. That's not what we call a cameo.
9 - So nobody in the movies seem to know who the ''first jedi'' was and it probably won't ever matter. Y'know what, I give up. You're trying too hard to justify the deception of this decade.

This was an objectively horrible film. You can judge it by it's validity in the Star Wars legacy (it seriously destroys the Star Wars legacy in so many ways) or you can judge it by its viability as a solo (no pun intended) sci fi film. In both cases, it was an utter failure and a hilariously revealing litmus test for the Star Wars fan base. This movie ended my fandom of anything Star Wars. Mark Hamill's reprisal of the most iconic character in science fiction feels almost like a betrayal and I wish I hadn't even witnessed it. I'll willingly step into the role of 1st world whiny internet millennial to say that this film encroached on what was a significant part of my childhood and the fictional role models to which I aspired in fantasy and sci fi. I know you wanted this movie to be amazing and I'm sorry that it wasn't, but let's at least all stop lying to ourselves about the Emperor's new clothes, yeah?

Snokes personal bodyguards, the Praetorian Guard, were introduced, then killed off without much explanation. This is a real issue with the whole franchise really! When you get no real background history (without reading the books, which dont strictly follow the movies anyway, and these guards are pretty much killed off in their first scene, by Rey of all people- like the awesome Darth Maul et al. It kind of cheapens their mystique and legend. Also. Why does somebody either have to die or get badly injured in just about every lightsabre battle? If they are so adept with the force, surely Jedi and Sith would have various methods to avoid and escape and use general trickery and sleight of hand, in many different scenarios, to avoid total engagement.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. Its not a story the Jedi would tell you. Its a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

I haven't noticed any Easter Eggs but I just have to say something.
People need to stop hating on it. Honestly, it's a step up from The Force Awakens (they really, really could have done that better, but that means that they are getting the hang of this whole Star Wars thing because the Last Jedi was pretty decent and that fight scene was fantastic.
Sure, what is now called Legends will always be Canon to me but I have a feeling we should give them the benefit of the doubt and give the movie credit where credit is due (I mean, really, Disney did not take on an easy task when choosing to take on the Project of Star Wars after George Lucas.

I didn't miss any of the important references. and they're still shit. This movie had no lore nor story crafting. It was pure garbage. A little bit of Marvel-esque humor (poor timing that ruins serious moments) surrounded by some action scenes, which are literally only resistance runs, first order catches them, and resistance outsmarts the stumbling, bumbling first order repeated three times.
The choreography in the lightsaber fight scene was also garbage compared to the prequels. Looked incredibly forced and like they didn't put any effort into it (unlike the HOURS the prequel actors spent perfecting the choreography.
