btw are you bothered TFA and TLJ takes place over less than a week lol
particularly in respect to Rey equally Kylo's powers (they can't steal the saber from one another) after not even knowing she had force powers as of a week ago and had no training, etc
EDIT: I ask because you particularly and vocally didn't care for Rey's huge increase of power over a short time in TFA

I think it is bombing, I was wondering what it takes to be called a big disappointment at the box office for people in general? Some people just assume that if something makes a profit then it was successful.

IMO, somehow this has to get some sort of explanation in IX. Not being part of the Skywalker lineage or any other is ok to me but we've got to get something.

Also, people on ign really hate this film. Just check out (or don't lol) any comment section on any TLJ article.

Nevertheless, still not sure when I can see this again but I really want to.

Empire always seems like it takes place over like 3 days.

In a word: slightly
Space Leia makes me feel better about Reys powers, it has taken the focus off formal training and into instinct

It's certainly the most, uh, cataclymisic couple of days in the gffa

I got the impression
Rey's training is relatively as incomplete as Luke's was in Empire.

Not to mention the fact that Luke tells her she's going to have 3 lessons and they never get around to the third.

Third lesson is lifting rocks
