And for those who were questioning about Rey being Palpatine theory. Again it was in the list.
I'd prefer Parker Payton Palpatine. Say that 10 times fast.Quote:

It does, especially the generation comes with all the social justice agenda doesn't make the story any better.Quote:

If you think the original Star Wars or the prequel trilogy didn’t have a “social justice” agenda you are kidding yourself.
Also f-off with that rubbish.
Also agree with Lord_Zed. The original trilogy paved the way for so many special fx sequel spectaculars (e.g. the Batman trilogy, the Matrix trilogy, the Indiana Jones trilogy etc.) that the new high watermark is Marvel Studios rich body of work these days. I'm sorry to say that Star Wars is playing second fiddle these days but the decline originally started with The Phantom Menace.Quote:

It has a lot of interesting themes that could have been explored a lot better if they had the time to hash them out properly but I guess that was the way they tried to salvage the lack of continuity from episode VIII. Palpatine seemed forced in, again it could of worked if clues and hints were included in episode VIII. Rey being a Palpatine also was a bit of a roll my eyes moment. Throughout the whole thing I was left pondering whether JJ had seen the Memberberries episodes of South Park and was deliberately taking the piss. In the end, it was ok, but honestly the only thing I was left feeling was what could have been. There was clearly a lot of potential for this trilogy with great new characters and themes they tried to explore but the lack of a set plan for continuity throughout the 3 episodes seemed to have sucked any soul out of it.
