Blue explosion was him using Force Teleportation.both are pretty stupid, but at least Maul had 2 pieces when he dropped down that million foot hole.
Palps was disintegrated in blue fire and the death star exploded and the blue micorscopic embers were scattered out into space for eternity.

My brain cannot compute the "I know this sucks, but I'm going to pay to go see it". Bruh? I'll watch this turd eventually. I finally watched Last Jedi when it hit Netflix, out of morbid curiosity, but there is no fucking way in hell I'm paying to see this in a theater, or even renting it. Now if you still like Star Wars and want to go see it, that's fine. I mean...there is something wrong with you, but wanting to see it at least jives with your tastes.

I don't guess this one will hit netflix because of Disney+. Maybe I'll torrent it, maybe not.
The thing with me is that I can't be assed to have to sit in a theater for this monstrosity. When I watch it I need to be able to pause it so I can go do something more fun, like washing the dishes, when it just gets too overbearingly bad.

Having this issue with people IRL. They hated TLJ with a fiery passion. They are making fun of this shitshow coming up, yet they asked when we're going to see it? Why? Stop giving those fucking hacks money.

I bought the last jedi on amazon video when it first launched, watched it once, then deleted it from my library.
Group of friends are all excited to go see this next steaming pile, which makes no sense to me at all. We were discussing this over dinner last night. I asked how anyone is excited about this since the last 5 Star Wars movies have been complete garbage. My one buddy was like they will get it right this time! Ummm what? No, just no.
IMO Star Wars as a franchise ended with Return of the Jedi back in 1983.

Man its too bad, JJ Abrams had a good name until the whole SW thing happened. He worked on the Fringe which was one of my favorite shows, then on Lost which was Ok till later seasons bofoonery, still a good show. Then the Star Trek movie he did was also OK, wtf happened with him and SW? this cannot be just him calling the shots here, im sure this is written by committee or some shit.

I think Force Awakens gets shit on more than it deserves because of how bad Last Jedi was. If it had been a good movie, then people would have looked at Force Awakens as a decent introduction of new characters and all that. Last Jedi was so bad that it stains everything around it.

Force Awakens got shit on for being a carbon copy of A New Hope and doing nothing new but making it look modern... while also making other elements of it worse. It was okay but it deserved the shit it got.

No, he didn't. While obviously they weren't a bust like Star Wars has been, a LOT of people didn't like what he did to Star Trek.

Yeah, but they were action/adventure movies and not a parable so purists were offended.

Your new shit being less shit than old shit doesn't make your new shit not shit.

They were offensive on levels of basic movie making.

Last one was ok because the usual suspects at Bad Robot weren't involved in writing it.

tiny bit late to the party, but i read an article back when cushing showed up that a bunch of actors started adding clauses to their contracts specifically mentioning whether or not a studio could use their likeness after they died
