Yep that's when I thought they would have ended her, which would have been perfect. Instead.......

As a stand alone movie it was superficially entertaining, but as a Star Wars movie I thought it was very poorly written and a disappointment.

The fact that there was never a broad outline for the story of all 3 of these movies shows badly.  The lack of continuity and meaningful character development just one example of this.

There are so many annoying points about this film (largely already mentioned so I won't rehash them).  But I think Kathleen Kennedy is ruining the whole thing with her feminist and other associated agendas.  That's being put ahead of meaningful writing. I think it's great having strong female characters (I want to see strong female role models for my daughter), but who is the strong male role?  Poe was reduced to a bumbling pig headed buffoon and Finn, well he kinda was barely in the movie except for the pointless casino side story.

Also the whole Mary Sue thing wth Rey is quite irritating.  How she can do what she does without any training in TFA and this essentially carried through into TLJ.  It also means there is no real character development left for her.

Don't even get me started on The Force and what can be done with it now.  I thought it was questionable when Kylo was able to stop a blaster shot in mid air in TFA.  Well shit that looks entirely realistic compared to what is done with it now with little to no training.

10 years is a great effort!  It’s been a fun ride, even if it feels somewhat like we are at the destination now. This site and community has given me hours and hours of reading/ discussion pleasure over the journey with a healthy dose of drama thrown in as well.

No I have never been into Cosplay before, this was a first attempt.  Not even sure how often I will wear it, but I did buy a Mannequin to sit it on at home so at least I can have it on display (much to my wifes disgust).  I might try and build a Han in Carbonite to go with it.

It's actually been a bloody detailed costume to put together, the nuances are unbelievable.  But fortunately there are a couple of websites/forums like The Dented Helmet and The Bounty Hunters Guild that are a wealth of information.  Plenty of vendors on there selling quality parts as well as commission painters for the armour and helmet etc.

To give you an idea this was the shopping list below.  I decided to go with the ESB version of Fett (prior to this I didn't even know there was a difference between ESB & ROTJ costumes lol, plus there are actually a whole heap of other variations). I liked the colours better on ESB and besides he ends up in the Sarlaac Pit in ROTJ.
