David Ehrlich’s article on The Last Jedi perfectly encapsulates why I loved the movie, but his passage about Snoke is my favorite.


“Supreme Leader Snoke is so busy prattling on about destiny that he can’t see the extent to which he’s dooming himself. Too arrogant to care about what’s already happened, Snoke is a chewed-up manifestation of our latent desire to see this trilogy unfold exactly as we expect, high on dopamine hits and low on drama. His sudden death makes for the film’s most satisfying twist, the lightsaber slicking through his guts in a violently ironic rebuke to everyone who thought this trilogy was just going to follow the template that’s been laid out for it. When his torso slides away from his legs, a world of possibilities springs out from his cauterized guts.”Edit : full article if anyone is interested! https://ift.tt/2Mv51lj via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2P46bkz
