I don't think they were really there. What we were actually seeing is Disney's next cutting edge animatronic. They just haven't figured out how to replicate human enthusiasm yet. But it makes sense. They've been trying to get Iger a personality for years and haven't managed that yet either.

Make sense to me when you think of the target demo for this event. Hard core park fans who watch these sorts of things. Same people you hear griping alot about the choice to make a new canon planet instead of familiar locations and characters. Getting the approval nod from the legacy holders...

This is one place I guess we’ll never be able to agree. To me that was the ultimate ideal of Jedi philosophy. The fact that he isn’t there, that he’s using the force to save his friends without violence, and how that calm presence stands in opposition to the unbridled rage of Kylo is one of my...

Well i don't think it was a devolution as I think that implies showing the human weakness he does in TLj is somehow a judgment on him. On the contrary, I think it shows his strength. Also, i don't think running away while he's in the throne room was a realistic option. He knows attacking the...

Again though. It’s about emotional reaction vs rational decisions. He looked pretty insecure when they were on the imperial shuttle and he realized Vader knew he was there and he was putting the mission in danger. And again when the emperor reveals his trap. The great thing about his RotJ arc...

Just wanted to add that this is a great conversation. I may not agree with your take but it’s nice to go back and forth without the empty snark of most of these discussions on the merits of the film.

Luke’s fight with Vader was defensive until he mentioned Leia. Then he lost it for a good 30 seconds or so of emotional anger slashes complete with operatic background music. That emotion that he pulled himself back from in Jedi is the same emotion he experienced with Ben. It’s not something...

I think they will attempt to explain a lot. But who knows. As far as killing Ben goes. There’s a difference between gut reaction and rational thought. Much like he stopped himself from killing Vader, with Ben he experienced an emotional reaction and then immediately suppressed it. It’s a...

I don’t think whether Han pressured him into it or not would play into his level of insecurity. Luke was never the type to place blame elsewhere. He put it all on himself. On being there for his friends, he spells that out in TLJ. He thinks he is helping by not being there. That the power of...

Well he didn't leave that map to find him. It was a map to the first Jedi temple that Lor San Tekka had acquired. Han knew that's what he was looking for, so the assumption was Luke would be there. I've had this debate a number of times, and impossible to really be correct or incorrect because...

Who said he wasn't the key figure in the story? Doesn't mean he wasn't flawed. Luke's strengths were his courage, his good nature, and his will to help make the galaxy a better place in spite of stacked odds against him. He was never a PT-esque jedi super hero. The best part of Luke from...

I don't have a problem with him being a worse teacher than yoda either. But again, this is all prefaced on what we've discussed before. I didn't put Luke up on much of a pedestal. He was a mediocre, half trained Jedi who due to his own personal ties with Vader and his bravery was able to save...

One bit of advice I'd like to add from my time with my kids at WDW when they were toddlers is to try to give them something to do that resets their brains out of vacation mode. For a toddler, being in the middle of constant new experiences can be overwhelming. When my kids were young, we'd...

Not all Star Wars fans care about those questions or thought the answers were inadequate. I was rooting for Rey to not be a Skywalker. I preferred seeing Luke in a more Yoda like pacifist vibe rather than a warrior. And thank god Snoke wasn't Plagueis. That would have been a worst possible...

Not sure if this question was aimed for me but I'll answer it anyway. There's no denying that some people who were attacking TLJ (like the people harassing Kelly Marie Tran) were doing so for those racist man-baby reasons. But it is not fair to lump all together. I don't have a problem with...

Here you go. Also included the text from the review in the spoiler below just incase someone wanted to accuse me of trying to get clicks on my 18 month old article...

It was in the the other thread in this forum. Done they were lied they did...or whatever it was called. I’m out right now but I’ll repost it here when I get home.

Well I posted it the last time you said you would welcome a dissenting opinion. More than happy to have that debate if you read my review and take issue with it.

Did you read my review that I posted last week in the other thread?

If I didn't know any better I'd think you were saying my opinion, because it disagrees with yours on a subjective piece of art, is less valid?
