Went to see it again today, this time with the kids, if Luke is a force projection why did Leia not notice when he touched her and handed her Hans dice from the Falcon?!Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment

It showed the dice fading away when luke died so he was also projecting that.Comment

I took it as the dice were a signal from Luke to Leia that he wasn't really there, so she wouldn't risk her life or those of the others to interfere with his plan out of desire to save him.
There were other subtle clues I sort of picked up on at the time but only really understood when it became obvious he was projecting, such as him not leaving any red footprints when the director seemed to be focusing on Luke changing stance for some reason while fighting Ren.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Yeah took eldest daughter to see it yesterday.
her Apple watch 3 (tm) told her her heart rate keep going up too high so she must have enjoyed it.
Have to be honest for me it was a bit of a let down - for all the reasons already mentioned - still an enjoyable watch mind you.
Although when the empire ships were firing on the rebel ships as they were running away at times it almost looked like the shots were taking a parabolic arc (like a cannon ball) rather than being straight - may have just been the angle I was at.Comment

I finally went to see The Last Jedi last night. It's actually the first in the franchise that I've actually been to see at the cinema, I never really got into it until recently. I'm not quite old enough to have seen the original trilogy at the cinema anyway.
So here's my take.
The Last Jedi was an entertaining film, I enjoyed watching it. I certainly don't think it is the best Star Wars film yet, but I didn't hate it. It almost felt like it was a parody of the Star Wars films, and you can definitely feel the Disney influence coming through. I was almost expecting Rey and Ren to kiss, and Ren to turn into a charming prince, but then I remembered this isn't Beauty and the Beast. Everywhere you looked was an all new merchandising opportunity. Kylo Ren is proper snowflake generation compared to Anakin Skywalker. There was far too much dialogue.
It is what it is though. Whereas the original trilogy was very groundbreaking when it was released, the new films aren't really breaking any new ground. This is probably why the first generation Star Wars fans aren't all that impressed with it.
Fortunately, Rey is epic eye candy and that helps a lot.Taking a break from contractingComment
