    Colin Treverrow directed Fallen Kingdom so this chick may simply not like him.

    Damn, she's funny. I've watched the first half and I'm cracking up.

    A nice bit of snark about a murdered Sith master:

    "He died the way he lived: wasting my time."

    I JUST saw "THE RISE OF SKYWALKER" TWICE over the last 2 weeks. The second time was LITERALLY the LAST SHOW(ING) of "TROS" in my county & was lucky to have caught it a second time. I liked it. It has its obvious flaws & "flaws", but I still liked it better than "THE LAST JEDI". Also, love it, loathe it, &/or anything & everything in between &/or being neutral or undecided about "TROS", it's apart of the OFFICIAL canonuity (canon & continuity) of STAR WARS.

    Some thoughts:







    Well, that's it for now.

    Ope, you liked it, someone will be along to denigrate your humanity.
    Probably Federal Farmer and/or Professor Sexbot.
    Then if you hit back, they'll say you're the bully.
    It's their new thing.
    They really seem to enjoy it.
    It may have risen to the level of kink.

    The TROS novelization clinches it, Palpatine's body was a clone with the original spirit in it.
    It was rotting because the clone couldn't contain his evil.

    That explains why he needed Rey.
    Original un-cloned people make better vessels.
    Plus, her prodigy level power in the force would help too.
    Maybe clones don't have the juice, because midi-chlorians don't clone.

    None of that was seen or explained in the movie and we shouldn’t have to rely on tie in material or Twitter questions to explain it.

    I’m not sad, I’m disappointed and irritated that they were so lazy in executing the sequel trilogy.

    So how did they stick his soul in the new body? Was his original body just mostly dead, or did they hold a seance to find ghost Palps and force him into the clone? Because if it's the former, then all this was for nothing and he'll be back by dinnertime tomorrow. :chris:

    I think the latter.
    It took that baseball stadium of chanting zombies to pull it off.
    Rey fried those guys, so it's all over.

    Never mind that it disobeys the established rules of this universe, clones have separate identities. They’re not just empty shells.

    Palps sucks the clone soul up.
    No muss, no fuss.

    So if the clone of Palpatine is rotting because it can't contain the evil and we know Snoke was a clone, evil, a force user, and looked like he was rotting which former Jedi or Sith person was he?

    Seriously, it shouldn’t require us to come with excuses for things like this. This should tell you something, but it won’t.

    It's how Palpatine came back in Dark Empire, and Lucas allowed that to be canon for almost 20 years.

    And Dark Empire is considered one of the weakest if not the worst part of after Star Wars works. Precisely because of the clone shit.

    By whom?
    Was there an exhaustive poll of all of fandom?
    I didn't get the call.
    I got some Mike Bloomberg shit.
    If I didn't get the call, the poll is invalid.

    At the time we called but your mom said you were grounded for being an obstinate brat about cookies. :shrug:
    We had to look up obstinate after the call. :)

    I've not seen it yet. I've never been a huge Star-Wars fan, and I was underwhelmed by TLJ so I haven't bothered with TLS.

    That's the thing that you never seem to be able to comprehend. I can discuss a show that I don't like, list the reasons why I don't like it, and agree to disagree. You take disagreement personally and lash out if someone dares have a different opinion from yours. So, yeah, you're a bully. Not a very effective or intelligent one, but a bully nonetheless.

    Case in point. This is you being a bully. An ineffective, less-than-intelligent bully.

    See?
    He tried to delay it a little, but he couldn't help himself.

    I forgive you, Sexbot.
    Someday, whether it's tomorrow, or a decade from now, you'll find the path beck to goodness and humanity.
    You were a good poster once, you can be again.
    I have faith in that.

    See? Now, this is exactly what I'm talking about with you being a bully. I had been minding my own business in this thread, hadn't even said jack about Star Wars, but you had to get one of your little digs in.

    Ineffective: You're trolling me and @Federal Farmer trying to drag us both into a debate over ROTS that would mirror what we've said about STP so that you can hit us with your tired claims of misogyny. I can't debate you, as I've not seen the movie.

    Less-than-intelligent: You seem to lack the ability to properly format mentions in order to get our attention in this thread.

    Nice try. I give it a C+ for effort and an F for execution. Your attempts to become Feminist Dayton are as lackluster.

    Then why are you in the thread?
    It makes no sense.
    :shrug:

    I miss the old Professor Sexbot that did things that made sense.
    I hope he comes back soon.

    Because I wanted to read reviews on ROTS. You decided to troll me. I responded. Had you kept your mouth shut, I'd not have responded to this thread at all until I had seen the movie for myself.
