I don't think I have the time to do the full write up, but here's what I will say: Luke had to die at some point.  I think everyone knew that.  I wouldn't have done it here though, and certainly not in the way they did it.  I originally thought it should have happened early in the next movie. 

In fact, taking it a step further (after seeing it the third time), I might have ended this movie with them unloading shots on him.  The possibilities of where to go with that would have been endless.  They should have rewrote the ending when Carrie died.  Even if this was the plan, it should have changed.  You need someone bridging the gap still, and Chewy or the now useless droids aren't the answer.  Neither is force ghost Luke.

It feels like they are trying so hard to move on, but at the expense of the fans of the original movies.  That almost feels calculated.  Let go of the past, kill it if you have to.  That's what it feels like they are trying to do while hopefully attracting new millennial fans.  It's a risky way to go.  All of the things we complain about I don't really hear from the younger generation or those that weren't attached to the old movies.  Disney sees this as an investment only and knows if they are relying on us, it's going to die.  They have to get new blood interested, and that's what they seem to be doing.

When is the execution?  Impeachment?  I mean the punishment for treason is death and certainly if they avoided that, they gave irrefutable proof that Trump did something, right?  Did I miss the news conference?

When I have some time, I'll create a thread on this...if someone else wants to start it, that's fine too.  My thread will be "How I Would Have Done Star Wars Episode VIII" and it will probably be a long post.

So this is a big deal, but the Clinton ties to Russia aren't? 

This is why I don't really care about it...not because I supposedly support the GOP or whatever other excuse you want to make for this being an issue for Trump but not for Clinton.  If you think they both didn't have ties to Russia, you're not even trying to be objective.  I didn't vote for either of them and voted for a pot head because I wanted nothing to do with either of them and I was hoping that a third party (however unqualified) could get 5% when the biggest losers ever were running for the major parties and make things better for everybody in the future (how's that for a run-on sentence???). 

That's the one thing I did get wrong...I had too much faith that the people would be smarter than this.  My bad for giving people too much credit.
