That's true. So he left by his own accord? What @RaVaGe says makes it sound like there was a disagreement or something? That sucks if there was.

Well I don't think he's coming back so where'd he go?

Didn't particularly like it. It felt really disjointed at times to me. A little too much "Disney" in it as well for my liking and the story as a whole felt flat. Basically didn't feel like Star Wars to me.

I don't think this was a bad film. However, I left the film disappointed.

There were some great isolated scenes and characters. Snoke was very cool when he was alive, Kylo Ren's ambiguity was interesting and some of the battle scenes were fantastic; the light sabre battle with the Praetorian Guards springs to mind. But I felt the film was ultimately dissatisfying.

The plot seemed to go nowhere; the film consisted of a snail's pace chase scene and a random off-beat adventure to a casino planet. Luke was unlikable and his opinion towards Rey was completely inconsistent.

Plot threads were't continued from Episode VII. Where were the Knights of Ren? When did Snoke finish Kylo's training as he said he would? Leia floating in space and flying like Superman; that didn't need to happen and seemed forced, forgive the pun.

There was token exposition from Maz Kanata; how did she get Luke's light sabre? It seems like that character was thrown away in this film.

The plot was driven by coincidence: Benicio Del Toro's character springs to mind. Fin and Rose just happened to be in a cell with him. He's a hacker?! What! Then he betrayed them!? It seemed so empty and convenient; all used to make the simple chase plot have some twists.

How did Yoda's force ghost make lighting to destroy the old tree? Could't he just have mentored Luke to give him the resolve to do it himself?

The new character Rose get more character development than Snoke! Luke's death wasn't satisfying. Snoke's death wasn't satisfying; they were both interesting in their own way, but both cases felt underwhelming. I'm okay with the masters being killed off, but they went out with a fizzle, not a bang...

Rian Johnson did a good job of subverting our expectations; however, I would have preferred some predictable catharsis, as opposed to surprise disappointment.

There was a strong theme of learning from failure in the film, in the film Yoda says "failure is our greatest teacher." I do hope that Lucas Film can learn from this films failure to provide satisfaction in future. To clarify, I don't think the film will fail financially; doubtless it will make billions.

I realise I just wrote an essay on a film i'm not that fond of. This is a reflection of my passion for the series, and my desire for the next film to be better. When I view the third film I may completely re-evaluate this instalment. Fingers crossed.

I would be very interested to hear if other people agree/disagree with any of these points.

I heard there was friction and he left? He was good for the site.

Get more swole.

WTF VALVE

What the fuck was that

Belgium just declared loot crates as gambling. Woop.

It took Mortal Kombat to get a violence ratings system. It'll probably take a few more SWBF2's to get a gambling rating.

I don't know who started it, but Blizzard certainly made it as predominant as it is now I think.

A loot box is a loot box to me. Publishers seewhat Overwatch did and thought "Hmm, how far can we take this?" As Dark said, they are designed to exploit you. I'm not calling Overwatch a bad game for it, nor am I calling SWBF2 a bad game either. All I'm attacking is publishers and loot boxes.

Pretty buggy release it seems. EA content to rush this out the door ontop of everything else.

11 hours ago, Dark said: LOL, Loot boxes are crap and keep the good fight against them, but Blizzard shouldn't talk, they helped fuel this whole thing in Overwatch. Sure it's not as bad, but they are both still being investigated for online gambling. Even if its cosmetics only, they are designed to exploit you.

Edit: I just want to make fun games, so sick of this fucking shit!

Yeah agreed on Blizzard/Activision - pretty pot kettle stuff there. The loot box stuff in Overwatch isn't great and It's why I never bought it. It's the same old story though, developers dicking over good talented teams with dumb ideas.

Apparently they changed the rate at which you get "credits too" so nothing has actually changed. EA are cunts, some old story.

Just imagine if you had gotten stuck with that walking cunt of a disaster. She's someone else's fuck up to deal with now. The poor twat.

Max Payne 2 and 3 were trash.

Cant wait to watch some Olympic Solitaire.

You finally finished a map. Well done.
