I've seen it twice here in China, the lesbian kiss is still in the movie here. (I don't really have a point, just giving some input.)Koumei wrote:I mean, they cut a "less than one second" lesbian kiss from the release in one of the homophobic countries, do you really think they're going to try something that will ruffle feathers in more countries and also is more of a big thing that is harder to cut?
The criticisms I've seen levelled at S08 of GoT applies to this movie I think. The things that happened aren't so much the problem, it's how we arrived at what happened that's lacking. Like, nothing was earned or hinted at or foreshadowed (Emperor's return, Hux's betrayal, Rose's whole sidelining, new Star Destroyer fleet, etc)
First time I saw it, I was pissed that they invented yet another way to fuck with the established rules for hyperspace (takes time to plot a course, can't do it in atmo, basic TIE don't have hyperspace engines...). Second time I saw it, I caught that they were. calling it "light speed skipping". SW doesn't ever call it light speed or FTL or whatever, it's always hyper-* (space or drive or...)
