I love how #TheLastJedi both leaned into previous story beats from the original trilogy and also subverted those story beats w/ its own style.
Other Things I Loved:
- Snarky/I'm-Done Luke
- Finn's dumb face
- Poe's dumb face
- Rose = cinnamon bun
- Lightspeed! :OOO
- Stampede!
- Snarky Yoda!?
- Kylo/Rey duo fighting class
- Salt Flats of Blood
- Crystal Critters~!
- Many other things~!

@vahnj Yeah, allowing Finn and Poe to be be queer would have been awesome.
But I also adored Rose so I can't be too mad. Gods, I just wanted to give her a hug. She's so sweet and awesome.

@GeoHolms yeah exactly!!

@GeoHolms the cinematography of the fight in the salt was amazing.
I called it that Luke wasn’t there. We saw footprint from the General Dodonna lookalike at first. Then when Kylo got ready to attack his foot moved and created a red print. Luke’s steps never did!

@Sparf I had the thought when he first appeared, but then immediately dismissed it because everyone saw him (then completely missed that his foot didn't make a print).
The movie did a great job of making me believe he was just that much of a badass.

@GeoHolms it was a deliberate callback to Grandmaster Luke from the late EU

@GeoHolms also the FUCK YOU’s to the asshole contingent of the fan base:
Rey’s parents were nobody.
Snoke doesn’t matter because he dead.
“Let the past die”
Star Wars Spoilers
@Sparf Agreed.
I've done a small sampling of the stuff some people hate about this movie, and they seem to be calling out all the reasons I loved this one. And liked those subversions of expectations.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@GeoHolms literally the only thing i didn't like about it was that they completely disappeared any of the queer subtext between finn and poe
they could have at least added it in for poe elsewhere but no he gets to be abandoned for a girl :<
i really, REALLY like Rose though so im not harping on her
