SPOILER THREAD - The Last Jedi

Not sspeaking about anyone here, but I swear there's a swath of Star Wars fans who will only be happy if a new Star Wars movie is literally some kid who streams video games on Twitch reading out the Wookiepedia while Mark Hamill sits in the frame out of focus nodding in approval while occasionally that Darth Maul fight song from Phantom Menace plays in the background.

When the rolling intro came into view at the start it confirmed what I had suspected; that The Last Jedi will contain Empire Strikes Back easter eggs but little did I know that there'd be more than that. So here's what I can recall:

1. The opening battle is reminiscent of the Hoth evacuation.
2. Luke goes beneath that tree containing the dark side on Dagobah while Rey goes into that hole in the ground on Ahch-To.
3. Snoke's throne room/ Emperor's throne room.
3a. Snoke and the Emperor both say "Fulfill your destiny".
3b. Snoke and the Emperor both point out to Rey/Luke that all is lost and show them the plight of their friends.
4. The battle of Crait is the battle of Hoth version 2.0.

PS I find The Last Jedi better than The Force Awakens.

This is Return not Empire.

I did say "...little did I know there'd be more than that." That's a reference to Return of the Jedi.

also once she ropened the bridge’s doors, technically everyone on the other side should have been sucked out into space...;

The Star Wars universe has some kind of shielding that stops this from happening. This is why the Death Star in the Original Trilogy has open hangars but things aren't sucked out. So as something that's been long established in the Star Wars canon since 1977, I'm willing to accept this.

also there is mention that during the space pursuit that there is only 18 hours left of fuel, 18 hours in a space pursuit isn’t really that long when you think about it,

I have to agree with you there. For a big ship like that carrying only 18 hours of fuel is pretty stupid. Unless something happened before and that ship wasn't fully fuelled when the pursuit started... but the movie didn't state this so the audience can only reasonably assume that it was running on a full tank rather than fumes. It's okay to have the ship running on near empty, but at least tell the audience why. Yeah... it's pretty dumb.

Sorry just thought it was a hereditary thing, I guess the exertion of giving birth to twins must have also caused Padme to expire as well

I used to laugh at this whole dying from sadness thing... until Debbie Reynolds (Carrie Fisher's mum) passed away a day after Carrie Fisher! Family members said that after Fisher passed away, Reynolds said, "I don't want to live without Carrie," and 15 minutes before Reynolds actually died she told her son, "I would like to be with Carrie again."


So, uh... yeah... apparently you CAN die from a broken heart.

Rey’s “nobody” story doesn’t add up with what was depicted in ForceAwakens
I mean if as Kylo says she was sold on Jakku then why was she so free to scavenge for food portions and refuse to give BB8 to the fat guy who clearly was the one holding her arm when she was left on the planet? Didn’t the slaves like Anakin and his Mum have tracking chips that would blow you up if disobey or try to leave?
I think Kylo is lying about the vision he saw of Rey’s parents hoping that it would turn her... but instead it strengthened her resolve against him...

Merry Christmas!
