Chat corner 47: The Last Jedi

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt is “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”, the second movie in the Sequel trilogy.

Just as with the first Sequel movie, I remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, so there’s some space left for people who enjoyed the film. If you did, the floor is yours ;)

Luke being a troll - I hate a few of the scenes, because I don't like embarrassment-based humor, but I actually can see how he'd end up like that. Because that's the exact same thing Yoda did, after the Purge. It's a (bad) coping mechanism, and a learned one at that.

Can't say it's my favorite part of the movie, though. Or at least, I wish the movie was better at showing it as a trauma response, not as a joke.

I wish I could properly admire the throne room fight, but alas.

I thought the Luke scenes were completely ooc. Unless, the Luke we saw in tlj was an older Luuke lol. Anyway, the set up was insufficient, rushed, and nonsensical. Contrast that with the upcoming Kenobi series that has potential (if written well) to explore Kenobi’s inner turmoil and trauma post Order 66 a bit more thoroughly.
