Why did yoda burn down the tree but then i saw a lorebook later? I figured if yoda burned shit down everything was toast. Its hard not to cling to stuff if you arent serious about your lesson, yoda.

lol at a magazine called The Federalist. Their horrible writers appear on FOX News and MSNBC with stylish haircuts and viewpoints straight out of Andrew Mellon's diaries.

Rey had already taken them prior to that moment. it didn't matter if they were really there or not, the burning was a symbolic of the destruction and "rebirth" of the Jedi. it's also Yoda saying "being a Jedi is about more than stupid artifacts and boring books", I guess dude isn't as into the dogma as once thought

also maybe leading the whole galaxy into total multi-decade disaster has changed yoda's outlook on things

Dude, keep up manIn one of the new canon novels, Leia survived an assassination attempt because of something written on paper - “Something was written on the paper streamer on her plate. Actual writing. Virtually nobody wrote any longer; it had been years since Leia had seen actual words handwritten in ink on anything but historical documents.”https://io9.gizmodo.com/oh-so-thats-why-leia-doesnt-trust-the-new-republic-in-1757108196So nobody cared except Luke and Rey cared about the tree with the books in it, because they kept shit in holocrons, or in the cloud, or whatever. And Yoda already knew Rey had snagged the books by the time he Thor’d the tree from beyond the grave.

No one has mentioned the obv chemistry Poe and Rey had upon meeting (?!?) at the end of the film.
pretty sure this is just Poe/Oscar Isaac, who has chemistry with every character he speaks to in the movie, up to and including BB-8.

Nah. There was a magic moment. The camera held on Rey's smile (reverse shot ) for a bit, too. It was emphasized.

it's interesting, i had fun watching this and think it is a better made movie than TFA but my enthusiasm for it is pretty low a few hours later. the prospect of ever watching it seems just tiring. which is weird for a movie that's just stuffed to the gills with beautiful photography of incredible wonders never before seen.i think the time may have finally come when i'm burnt out on this series/universe. one a year is too much. no room to breathe and grow curious again. and of course, i am not twelve and devote a lot less of my imaginative energies and joys to fictional universes and what mysteries await in the next installment. and the naked assembly-lining of them probably preempts any sense that you're waiting for the next revelation of the true adventures of your favorite characters - rather you're speculating on what direction might be taken by director x and which properties the studio might be trying to greenlight. i can always see the "they" deciding things, whether it's "groan, i wish they hadn't put that in there" or "hooray, i'm so glad they put that in!". but mostly yeah, with time i have lost, i fear, the pleasure of being able to breathlessly believe that what we see in the next movie matters. those were good days.thankfully the han solo movie is such an irritating idea that i will likely skip that one. maybe in two years I'll be ready to see one of these and it not just feel like an exercise in evading spoilers and keeping up with the conversation.
― the pleather of pleather paul (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 02:59 (six years ago) link
i do feel like it was probably more fun to take these in pre-social media/blog/podcast days with wall to wall coverage. but the only SW films I saw during original release were the prequels since I wasn't born til 80 :/
― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 03:05 (six years ago) link
ditto, born 81! but how i relate to serial stuff and fictional universes generally is just different. half down to internet, half down to not being a kid. maybe the last thing where i was really invested in the next installment having weight as the next real, unspoilable installment in something i cared about, was the harry potter books, at which point i was college-aged. long gaps between 'em, and not a lot really being leaked or dulled by advance hype. in between I believe i did spend time thinking and discussing what might happen, whether snape was good or evil, whatever, it was fun. not life or death as i think it was for people who were really kids for those, but a lot of fun. oh and scott pilgrim i was pretty invested in. i bet comics of that sort, that drop as big chunks with a good span of time in between, generally evade some of these problems.the very obvious "x a year til the end of time" mechanics of stuff like this and the marvel movies doesn't keep me from enjoying individual installments onscreen but it does really preclude a sense of special-eventness. i'm just too aware of the brand exercise and the cross-promotion and the upcoming side movie with hired-gun-indie-director-so-and-so, to get swept up in anything like the movie magic i felt as a kid, or the movie magic i've felt as an adult in genre movies not doing the franchise thing. this is just a really long way of saying the new movies would be better if they came out three years apart. but i believe that's actually true.

Oh man...it was excruciating as a kid waiting for any tidbit of info ( a photo or production art ) to pop up in Starlog or something. And back in the OT days itvwas 3 years between films. But any little clue was gold.
