Christ, this thread is the equivalent of having a wank but edging for 4 days.
AI’m trying to think of some good questions that aren’t specific enough to really reveal anything but might help make sure expectations are in the right place.
I’m most interested to see if you can tell us more about the subplot that didn’t work for you without messing anything up, or at least whose subplot it is. Is it one of the new characters, Holdo/DJ/Rose/evil BB8 or is it something central/surprising enough that you can’t really say anything without giving it away?
I also keep hearing the whole ‘it doesn’t go where you expect’ refrain in a lot of the reactions so far. Is it more of a ‘what a twist!’ or ‘big reveal’ situation or is the plot just not quite what we think it is from the ground up?
As always, feel free to DM, spoiler tag, no comment, or ignore any request for more info at this point.
Yes, I think it does. But some of the same problems are also present here. If you really hated The Force Awakens there is still a chance you could like this. Unless it was the new characters you had an issue with.
The subplot that felt a bit clunky to me was
Finn and Rose’s mission to the casino planet
When I say it doesn’t go where you expect I mean that in a good way but don’t want to say any more
Honestly guys, as spoiler-free as possible for this is the only way to go
Suffice to say that I really liked it and can’t wait to see it again. But it will be divisive. No doubt.
Did you notice the soundtrack at all. Is it generic holding pattern music or did you noticed if it was woven in with the visuals?
AAre the spoilers going around Reddit accurate?

Very cool, and you’re doing the right thing wrong on the side of withholding info. Thanks.
I’ll be totally honest - I barely noticed the soundtrack. All the new character themes were there from The Force Awakens but the only new one I noticed was Rose’s theme which was great.
Plus there were a couple of odd bits of recycled score from the OT
I avoided Reddit and similar sites like the plague so have no idea
AIf the movie is so good that I forget to notice the score, I think that would be a win.
AWe’re all missing the obvious most important question…
How many pages should we expect in here of in-depth Porg analysis once everyone’s see the movie? Twenty? Thirty?
Inquiring minds want to know.
EDIT: I just posted essentially the same question as Barry at almost the same time, albeit as a joke. I may need to take a break…
They’re fun andnd barely in it
is it true what people are saying about snoke?
Is Snoke developed into an interesting antagonist? I stumbled across a spoiler that suggested
he gets no backstory and is killed off unceremoniously by Kylo. Which sounds seriously disappointing.
This is what happens but it worked for me
I suppose I’ll have to judge how the character is handled for myself, but I was expecting a bit more depth based on Serkis’ comments about Snoke’s connection to the past and more personal motivations. It’s a bit disappointing that he’s apparently a nobody. How much screentime does he have compared to TFA?
He has loads of screentime and is a brilliant presence. Amazing performance and he looks incredible. The moment took me totally by surprise as I had zero knowledge about it beforehand.
This is like being the third wheel at the party while your friends converse in another language.
When are you seeing it out of curiosity?
AWhere would you rate it in comparison with IV, V, VI, VIII ?
