At NINE YEARS OLD though? lol. The only human capable of flying death pods at 1000 mph? 

His mom getting fucked by Force penis to magically create a baby? 

None of that stretches the lore too much? C'mon guys. 

I actually think it would work if Rey is somehow willed by the Force and in particular Anakin himself from the Netherworld of the Force after Luke shuts himself off. It makes sense because Anakin is not going to just sit there and watch everything he set right be ruined by his idiot grandson. 

Thematically it works perfectly too, because Kylo Ren is obsessed with being the next Darth Vader, the irony would be if Anakin chooses Rey to basically inherit his power. So she is basically everything Kylo thought he should be by birthright, that works very well thematically. 

I could see that, even though really it doesn't even require that kind much explanation. She's the chosen one/golden child/messiah. Force chose her to end the Dark Side. And what the Force wants, the Force apparently gets it seems. 

You are taking the word of a kid who says "nothing can kill a jedi" and has lived since age three or so at a small spaceport and its outskirts too much at face value. Not to mention he never even finished a race before salvaging a nice pod for himself (good enough on itself that Sebulba bought it afterwards) and being trained a little bit on the ways of the force by Qui-Gon. If those aliens were actually that much sturdier at taking on g-forces and having faster reflexes etc. as you believe we would have seen them everywhere on galactic military, and it would probably deserve more than an off-hand comment which may or may not be interpreted that way.

As for Anakin's conception, again the same question, we have only Shmi's word to base on. Qui-Gon believes on her and that it is the will of the force, and even speculates on physical phenomena that might have led into it (midi-chlorians and so) but we never see the direct evidence, which makes it seem more mystical / spiritual than Leia flying or whatever (a subtlety with the supernatural and magical shared by the likes of Tolkien and Poe which makes them superior to their wackier counterparts and knockoffs to most people). If Shmi had been impregnated by the force on-screen on Episode I by some flashy SFX you can bet there would have been way, way more backlash.

 



 

 

 

 

 

Around the Network

It is now at 50% of approval at RottenTomatoes, still slowly dropping. Maybe only a matter of,time before it drops under 50%.

The fans have spoken, the professional reviews smoke some heavy stuff or got some heavy dollars before watching the movie. Don't forget than among the 50% approval, there are a lot of casuals, Marvey and Disney lovers. The approval among SW fans must be around 10%.

Don't forget, among the 50% dissapproval, there are a lot of people that didn't watch the movie, and generally don't care about Star Wars. The apporval among Star Wars fans must be 90%.

See, I can make up numbers as well.

A billion dollars in 17 days.
Strongest performer in 2017's Domestic Box Office.
Poised to surpass Rogue One before TLJ even gets released in China.
On pace to casually crack The Top Ten grossing movies worldwide.

All this despite plenty of competing movies aimed at the same target audience. The fans have spoken, indeed!

You forgot the part where it will make $400 - $600m less than TFA... and sell far less merchandise...

It also has a 7.6 rating at IMDB from more than 250k votes. It seems that the movie found its audience, even if you didn't like it.

I'm sure that part helps ease the blow of not making $400-$600 million more dollars on a mainline SW film.

Disney breathes a sigh of relief.

Btw Mr. Socialist, are you sticking up for Disney?

That image says it's a weighted average.
