so it’s brother and sister kissing at the end?
I thought they said without a doubt, no room for wiggle room that Leia was not Rey’s Mom? I remember that conversation when Leia hugged Rey after the mission and Solo’s death she ignored chuey. Everyone was like WTF? Chuey and Solo were best buds, Leia had know Chuey for 30+ years etc. why are you hugging the noob? If she’s not your daughter? |

Kylo says they were nobodies Pallantine says Rey is the daughter of his son. Definitely not a nobody even if he rejected Dad. Even if it was a clone or DNA splicing/experminting thing, Rey still has to have female DNA to exist as a human being. We deserved to know at the end. Ohhhh well we will just let her call herself a Skywalker and be done with this question? |

Leia has nothing to do with Rey's lineage. She's the daughter of Palpatine's son, who shockingly escaped the Empire's grasp and hid his offspring from the most powerful being in the galaxy!!!!! |

The film was an epic disaster. While TLJ had its flaws, most notably the Holdo Manuever and the Finn/Rose jaunt to Canto Bight, Abrams RoS was just lazy.
IMO, anything would have been better than reincarnating The Emperor because it just destroys the entire narrative, from Anakin to Rey. And dedicating 80 minutes to retconning TLJ was just boring and dull. But hey, Abrams got to make Rey a Skywalker, like he intended. Whoopeee! |

I actually buy the "adopted" Skywalker ending, I quite like it...but making her a Palpatine doesn't jive. They should have stuck with the "you're nobody" narrative instead of trying to awkwardly shoehorn her into an existing family...it just makes everything too convoluted and unbelievable...especially seeing as how randomly selected force sensitive people seem to be, anyway. |

We have plans to see it again this week and maybe I’ll be able to enjoy it more on a second viewing but I don’t think that the choices JJ made will ever be justified. Ultimately, the Skywalker story ended with Return of the Jedi, not with RoS. |

I'm going to have to see it again to get a better feel on how I feel about it. Right now it felt like a rushed fan service mess.

The idea of Kylo being turned on by the First Order actually quite appeals to me in a "Napoleon exiled to Elba" sort of way.
And yes, he's super powerful, but surround him with 50 stormtroopers and a bunch of Walkers and it would be entirely believable. Far more believable than LOL HEY ITS PALPS FOR NO REASON |

Red Letter Media thought that Palpatine was a clone in Return of the Jedi, that would explain why he is still alive.
Makes sense. I haven't even watched the movie yet. |
