It would be interesting to see how people would view the Original Trilogy if they had been released in this era of internet critique. I’d bet those movies would have been picked apart to and a lot or Star Wars “fans” would talk about how stupid they are.
”Two droids walk through the middle of a gunfight and make it without a scratch?!?!?! How stupid! George Lucas should stop putting lame jokes in these movies!”
For example, these days C-3P0 would be the modern day Jar Jar Binks. He’s nonstop comic relief (slapstick, cornball, all the stuff Star Wars “fans” hate about TLJ’s humor) in the OT to the point of distraction, but he gets a pass that wouldn’t be given in the internet age.
Sure it did. Affirmative action making the snowflakes happy.

What a piece of junk.
I geeked out a little when Yoda told Luke what he told him on Tattoine, but this movie was garbage
I was disappointed when Rose saved Finn.
Social justice warriors ruining franchises. No surprise.
I meant Dagobah, not Tatooine
Did that happen? I must've been off not giving a , thinking about something else. I drearily remember it. I remember now that there was a cheesy line and an even cheesier kiss that went with it.
You hit paused on that boycott to go watch a movie you’re not interested in whatsoever? How generous of you.
No boycott here, tranny. Stop manstrating on my .
Fair enough, autist.
Continue to not care.
Did you like the new star wars? Where does it rank on the tranny scale of from one to Rocky Horror Picture Show?Fair enough, autist.
Continue to not care.
Haven't seen it. I like these films overall though.
Finn was going for a kamikaze run and Rose saved him in the last second
Oh yea. That in itself seemed pretty re ed and not very well done. They were charging those AT-STs for like ten minutes to get like a mile or so.
What the was Disney thinking by giving Rian Johnson so much creative control? The last two mainline Star Wars movies were obviously written by two different people with almost no overlap creatively whatsoever. JJ Abrams set up several things in The Force Awakens--with no payoffs written in advance--and Rian Johnson basically, "Nah, all of that." Johnson took Abrams' vision, crushed it, and then handed the pieces back to him.
I really am curious how Abrams will respond.
Yeah, how the did Finn drag Rose all the way back to the fort so fast? And why did the bad guys let him?Oh yea. That in itself seemed pretty re ed and not very well done. They were charging those AT-STs for like ten minutes to get like a mile or so.
I don't know why they gave the third movie back to Abrams.
Exactly!
Was TFA perfect? no, but it did the job needed to do to.
Abrams had an extremely difficult job of bridging the gap between the OT and trilogy. He had to get the bad taste of the prequels out of everyone's mouth, while restoring faith in the Star Wars franchise. It did the job it needed to do overall.
Rian Johnson. What a dumbass.
Disney re-shot Gareth Edwards entire version of Rogue One because they didn’t like the tone, fired the Han Solo directors because they didn’t like where those guys were going with the film, and fired Colin Trevorrow only because his recent indie film sucked. Do you really think they just let Rian Johnson do whatever the he wanted?
Everything Rian Johnson did had the approval of Disney and Abrams. If not, he would have been fired and/or had his film neutered.
I know that certain beats still had to be hit, since this is the second movie in a multi-billion dollar trilogy. The point I am making is that the first two movies having different writers is extremely noticeable and it makes Disney look like they don't know what they are doing. Abrams clearly wanted Luke to train Rey and made the shot of Luke and Rey in The Force Awakens the last shot for a reason... and the payoff was a gag where Luke throws his lightsaber over his shoulder and off a cliff (one of the many jokes that illicited almost no laughter from the audience I was watching the movie with).
Rey finding Luke had no pay off, because he didn't impart any kind of knowledge to her. He tells her one thing about the force and she leaves. He then sends his illusion across the galaxy to serve as unnecessary distraction, runs out batteries and dies. Was that Abrams had in mind as a follow up to the cliffhanger from TFA?
So you expected certain things and they didn't happen? Abrams saw all the treatments, etc, and didn't have a problem with what Rian had planned.
I'm not ing about my expectations being subverted; I'm ing that what they were subverted with was stupid and pointless. Why even have Luke in the movie if he doesn't do anything? It's already a 2.5 hour long movie, so just take the stuff with Luke out and it will still be a 2 hours long. Seriously, judging the movie as a movie, what did the parts with Luke add? Having him train Rey with the lightsaber would have at least explained how she was able to kill half a dozen elite guards, but he didn't and she inexplicably can hold her own against them despite zero experience fighting with a lightsaber.
What exactly did the scenes with Luke accomplish other than being scenes with Luke in them? Take out him fishing, milking giant space sloths, moping around and refusing to help and the ending where he just dies as a distraction that wasn't needed, and The Last Jedi becomes a better movie.
I like The Last Jedi more than The Force Awakens not because it was a better constructed movie--it probably isn't upon rewatch--but it is more interesting overall. Some things were just not needed, though.
Gotcha. She didn't have any experience in the fist movie either, and managed to hold her own against Kylo. No training montages works for me. I liked the scenes with Luke too, but they aren't for everyone. The theater I was in was cheering at the end.
