How was it insulting? Because if didn't go the way you wanted it to?

I have never touched KOTOR nor do I have any interest in it. I only care about the movies and TV shows. Everything else is irrelevant to me.

3 - The milking scene - The less said about that the better. It was embarrassing and totally unnecessary.
4 - The whole casino sidestory, especially the search for the slicer Maz (underused) suggested; why go through all the trouble simply to end up in jail where -oh what a surprise- a guy rots there just waiting to be recruited? Cut the entire Canto thing from the movie and the story will not change. Superfluous.
5 - Rey's vision - Someone can explain what that hole in the ground was supposed to represent beside the obvious a-hole of the island?
6 - Phasma - Wasted, again. It has become ridiculous.
7 - Snoke - Would it have been so hard to make it boast what he has done, where he has been during the Empire, how he has become the "Supreme Leader", etc. when he confronted Rey, just so we could have had a glimpse at who the ****ing hell this big bad guy is?
8 - Look, I'm Leia Poppins y'all - Really? THIS is what the filmmakers came up with to show Leia use the Force? In what was supposed to be a big emotional moment for the character, there was laughter in the theater where I attended. Personally, I was embarrassed for the late actress.
9 - Holdo vs Poe - I understand there was two points of view opposed here but the way it was filmed made the vice admiral look like a villain in disguise. IMO, it should have been Leia in that hyperspace ramming scene...
10 - Luke vs Kylo - I'm ok with all the Force projection power. But someone explain to me why Luke chose to show himself holding the now destroyed blue saber -which Ren broke with Rey- instead of his green one?

1. I was laughing my ass off at it. Not only because the trolling Poe did was hilarious, but also having the two leads from Ex Machina confronting each other.

2. That was another funny ass scene. THe ending to TFA was so dramatic that just having him toss it like it was garbage was priceless.

3. Agreed.

4. I see nothing wrong with the casino scene. It was interesting to see a casino world in Star Wars as we haven't seen one before.

5. Ray's vision was showing her being on the edge of the dark side.

6. Agreed. Phasma is the Boba Fett of this trilogy.

7. Did the original trilogy boast what Palpatine did to become Emperor? Hell, he wasn't even named dropped in the OT, he was just called The Emperor. Now do I think they could have done more with Snoak? Absolutely. However, the scene where he split was well worth it.

8. lol Yeah, I've got nothing to defend that scene at all. Just awful. It should have been Leia's death scene.

9. Holdo's point was to see how far Poe was willing to go for the cause. I do agree that she should have shared some intell on the situation, but I can see her motivation. Poe was not an official, it is his job to act as instructed and not think. That is the point of a soldier.

10. The battle was just fine. We don't know what Luke did with his green light saber.

What defines a good Star Wars movie though? Star Wars is just The Lord of the Rings in space.
