Also weird that this thread only has 3 pages while TRoS is at 13.

I don't think people really posted updates on this film during development and there weren't any spoiler leaks to discuss either. And Star Wars and Marvel films don't really get much discussion here. Hell, even Pixar to an extent.

BTW did you see what Rian Johnson's wife felt about TROS? I think I posted it in the TROS thread but I can't remember now.

This is what I ordered. It seems like different sellers sell at different prices:

I actually see in the reviews that it just moves on its own and isn't controlled by an app, so maybe you're looking for a different one, which might be more expansive.

This might be the one you're looking for, which is $99.

It looks like her main issues were Rey Palpatine, Ben Solo's death, and Rose Tico being sidelined.

Thank you for all the info. Yes, I wanted the more expensive one and I was hoping it would have come down in price but alas, that isn't the case.

I agree with her.

I have doubts in these petitions, I don't think I know of a petition that actually made a change and I doubt Adam Driver will be interested. His silence on anything Star Wars speaks volumes, and I also think he wants to move on and do films like Marriage Story, the kinds that will get him recognition in awards and unfortunately Star Wars films aren't those kind of films, even though I think The Last Jedi was better than most 2017 films.

I agree with her as well. I'm still okay with Rey Palpatine because it was my other choice for her besides her coming from nowhere. There are pros and cons to both so there is certainly stuff I miss about Rey Nobody.

The petition is more to show fan support for Adam Driver so Disney knows that the character is a popular one who will be missed and how there is an audience for any future projects involving Ben Solo. Adam Driver spoke in an interview recently that more SW films are not on the table right now, but that doesn't mean that's for the rest of eternity. After all, Mark, Carrie, and Harrison all claimed they were done completely with SW, Harrison especially, but they all came back. And Adam has said how much he loves his character and how much he sees himself in him.

Also keep in mind that Ewan McGregor had to lie about not returning as Obi-Wan Kenobi for four years.

The film is going to be released again with a matching slipcover, no Dolby Vision and with a score only track and a Porg bonus feature.

I'm glad they are re-releasing it so you can complete your collection.

The Last Jedi is trending on Twitter. People were asked to name something they like about the ST and this was the result. If the tweets aren't about TLJ being the best Star Wars film since TESB, they're about Rian Johnson, Kylo Ren, or Reylo.
