Fairplay to the original contractors mind - they might have been behind schedule getting the place operational but they still had that door working after all those years and a hefty fuck off explosion.

THAT was annoying :lol:

Have a massive bit of the death star survive and crash into a moon/planet, fine. As I've said it looked cool so I can allow for that..... but the random bits of storm trooper armour that survived and are sitting there as if they just dropped them as they walked out and the working door? What was that about?

That was his throne room in RoTJ and I guess where he would stash his stuff - guessing nobody would have the balls to attack a deathstar and then go into his quarters to get his, so I'm guessing he thought it was safe there and destroyed with the deathstar?

Why would you as a sith lord, need two random triangles for others to find him.

Also how come there were those random mirror/reflective rock rey found on the Jedi Island in the death star. A very natural thing on a space station?

They should've just had Rey go to the DeathStar wreckage looking for clues for where to find Palpatine. The whole prism and dagger stuff was pointless and over complicated it really.

I guess it wasn't an easy place to find, even when the fleet were navigating to it with the navigation codes from the triangle it looked a right fuck on. Having it in his sith triangle thing which only Sith could read seems a pretty ok way of storing the information imo.

She force spoke to Ben didn't she which gave Rey the chance to take him out, and ultimately convert him to the good side. He was kicking Reys arse till then and Rey was getting more and more tired and needed help. That took it out of her and she died.

Both Leia and Luke died from being knackered from using the force... lazy bassas

Yeah the dagger shite just added nothing much to the story and took up time which could have been better used fleshing other bits out. I think the triangle thing was ok though.

On its own yes. As I say, find that or something similar in Palpatine's throne room..... because that was an obvious place to look. Nee need to find a dagger or reset C3PO in the process......

Mind I liked the bounty hunter link to Rey's parents and her backstory.

They were old like and I guess using the force must take some kind of lifeforce (which is maybe why they mentioned it when Rey was healing and added the ending bit with Ren/Ben).

Maybe Yoda done the same after he lifted Lukes X-Wing out of the swamp?

Maybe, either way I wished the story was better.

Fuck you Rian Johnson :cool:

Why would ya need that One Eyed Willy style pull out map on the dagger to pin point where in the wreck it is when ya kna it's the throne room - ya kna that git distinctive tower bit that's sticking out.

Aye it was all a bit overthought like. Should have, as you said, just been pointed towards his old throne room where he would possibly have kept it and go search for it.

Don't get why they would make a dagger which if put up against the deathstar (in space?) when it was functioning would then show you where his throne room was. Why? Why would anyone create that?!?

When the dust has finally settled, Revenge of the Sith will still be the fourth best Star Wars film.

What I saw last night won’t challenge that. They totally bottled it after the last Jedi and did some major retcon work. Not a peep about the emperor in the previous two Then they shoehorn him in due to backlash from the last film.
I enjoyed it for what it was and no doubt the bairns will love it but too much chopping and changing with where the story was going in this trilogy for me.

What was the point of them. A few panoramic shots of them standing about in circles posing with their swords and axes across their shoulders never actually doing owt, only for them to then somehow rock up deep within Palpatine's new den and turn on their master, despite him only having a fleeting allegiance to Palpatine - fuck's all that about? And it didn't like how it made a sideshow of the Skywalkers - ya kna, the ones the story should really be about, the ones to bring balance back to the Force and peace to the galaxy - whilst Gramps and Rey work things out in the throne room. They had Ben, the last living Skywalker, a trained Jedi/Sith, and a massively powerful one at that, beaten, until him and Rey managed to play Force passy the parcel. Ha'way...

You know, you’ve analysed this far too deeply. It’s not Citizen Kane. Just switch off and enjoy the rollercoaster man

It wouldn’t have worked in space though, as it lined up against the jagged edge of the wrecked Death Star lying in the sea.

So had to have been created afterwards, but was explained that Palp must have created it as he wanted Rey to get to him to fulfil her destiny!

You’ve just said it yourself. They are bairns films for bairns and nostalgic former bairns. They’re not supposed to be forensically analysed by adults who have other a million other films as frames of reference.
