Aboard the SS Del Toro Rose is coaxed into giving Benicio her necklace as a down payment for getting them to the First Order ship. Rose reluctantly does this and we know how important this is as this was part of a set she shared with her sister who was murdered by Poe in the first scene in the movie.
They find out that Benicio del Toro has stolen this ship and that its owners were supplying weapons to the First Order. We know this because there are some holograms of TIE fighters on the ship’s computer. Then we see pictures of X-wings as well and Benicio del Toro says he was supplying weapons to the “good guys” too. He says, “It’s all a machine.”
This is potentially the largest problem I have with The Last Jedi. We learn that apparently this is all just one big money-making game. Contractors are selling arms to both sides to profit.
Listen, I get enough of this living on Earth, okay? Arms companies making profits, countries being overthrown for oil, the list goes on an on. This is what makes living on Earth a real bummer. I don’t need this kind of baloney in my Star Wars movie. This could be a big plot twist in some sort of hard Sci-Fi movie but this is not hard Sci-Fi, it’s Star Wars. This is why the taxation of trade routes was also not a compelling plot point for the Star Wars universe!
So what does this mean? After eight movies we see that there is no good and evil? They’re all just pawns of a secret society of wealthy elites trying to prop up a state of perpetual war so that they can line their own pockets?
Does anything that happens from this point on even matter?
After this revelation we rejoin Poe who storms onto the bridge and engages in his fiftieth act of gross insubordination but insulting Holdo and demanding answers form her. She has him removed from the bridge but, somehow, still not sent to the brig. At this point she probably should have just shoved him onto an escape pod and jettisoned him to the nearest (or farthest) planet.
Meanwhile Rey is getting ready to go meet Ren and turn him to the light side. She says to Chewbacca, “If you see Finn before I do tell him–” She is then cut off by Chewbacca roaring. She responds with, “Perfect. Tell him that.” Tell him what? Are they in love? What is going on?
Rey then boards a tiny coffin which looks like she is preparing more for a trip to the Genesis Planet than to Kylo Ren’s ship. She arrives very quickly at the ship and Ren is there to meet her, not looking as accommodating as she may have been hoping for.
Back on the Resistance cruiser Poe tells Holdo the secret plan they’ve been working on to deactivate the Hyperspace tracker. Holdo is mad and Poe stages a mutiny, taking Holdo and some of her subordinates prisoner.
We are then taken to a scene with what looks like a giant ship resembling an iron coming in for a landing. The camera pans out and it turns out it is actually an iron and they are in a never-before-seen Star Destroyer (or Dreadnought) laundry room. Their irons look just like normal 1950s style Earth irons just on a robotic arm. This was one of the most jarring moments of the movie for me. I was initially tricked (as was the intention of the scene) but immediately was left thinking about Hardware Wars. This was so blatant that it had to be intentional. The result of this odd gag was that I was so taken out of the movie that I didn’t even realize until the second viewing that the whole purpose of being in the laundry room was to show Finn, Rose, and Benicio del Toro stealing First Order uniforms so they could wander the ship.
Their brilliant plan for BB-8 is to put a laundry basket over him, a plan that was executed to much better effect in Paddington 2, not to mention being an overall better tonal fit for that movie.
They are spotted by an evil BB-8 who is not fooled by their terrible plan.
Overall this attempted break in begins on a largely comical note. For some reason this whole thing plays out like a lighthearted heist. I’m not saying there’s room for humor in the Star Wars movies. The Force Awakens did a great job re-introducing humor into Star Wars after the serious prequels that were even less funny when they tried to be.
To me this whole scene seemed like if the prison escape scene in A New Hope had Yakety Sax playing the whole time.
Next time . . . CONFRONTATION!

Very good blog you have here but I was wanting to know if
you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get advice from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!
Hi, I do believe this is an excellent blog. I stumbledupon it 😉 I will revisit
once again since i have book-marked it. Money and
freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to guide other people.
Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but
I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting
a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted
to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but
I had to ask!
Remarkable! Its really remarkable piece of writing, I have got much clear idea concerning from this
paragraph.
It’s remarkable to visit this website and reading the views of all friends about
this paragraph, while I am also zealous of getting knowledge.
Yes! Finally someone writes about 안동출장마사지.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole
my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad
is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Have you ever considered publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
I have a blog based upon on the same topics you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my
audience would value your work. If you are even remotely interested,
feel free to shoot me an email.
Really appreciate you sharing this article post.Really looking forward to read more. Keep writing.

Ahaa, its fastidious discussion on the topic of this post at this place at this
blog, I have read all that, so now me also commenting at this place.
I think that everything wrote made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? what if you were to create
a killer post title? I ain’t suggesting your content is
not solid, but what if you added something to possibly get people’s attention? I mean Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Part 9)
is kinda boring. You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write post
headlines to get people to open the links.
You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it
could bring your website a little bit more interesting.
I every time spent my half an hour to read this web site’s content everyday along with a mug of coffee.
What’s up to every body, it’s my first pay a quick visit
of this blog; this webpage consists of remarkable and really good stuff designed for visitors.
