STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

[Clear Winner]

the movie.. hard not to like unless you are some dork who had all these predictions on how it would turn out before it came out then got butt hurt when u were wrong

Whoa, bro, just asked an honest question.

I'm not into fan theories, but there was just so much in it that didn't make any sense or was a complete waste of time. The whole quest with Finn and the Chinese girl was pointless and her stopping him from crashing into that giant lazer... How did they even get back to the base after that?

The woman in purple purposely withholding info for no reason other than to be a dick.

It was a giant clusterfuck from start to finish. Looked great though.

My 11 year old liked the movie on first watch.. Out of respect for that, I thought it was ok. But something wasn't right, and before panning this movie became a sport, I started thinking about how stupid it was.. Then, my 11 year old, after 2nd viewing, started noticing some of the problems with the movie. That's when I knew.

The movie was a well made pile of crap. Thee end. There is nothing interesting that could happen with "the rebels" (are they rebels, or do they represent the Senate and the galaxy.. or has that just disappeared as well?) winning. I don't like the rebels. They suck. Series sucks.

Can we just talk about the name for one second

The Last Jedi

What? But its the middle installment, shouldnt be called the Last anything. Still one more to go. Now what is JJ supposed to call his?

But Rian Johnson wasnt thinking ahead when he called his movie the Last Jedi. So he is trying to say HIS movie has the very LAST jedi in it what kind of arrogant asshat would lay that claim on his singular installment in a giant space opera that was created by another man. Here comes Rian to fuck over the whole universe by claiming this is the last Jedi. Now wtf are future writers going to do?

All this damage he is doing is just gonna have to be undone by other writers smh

Arrogant twat Rian Johnson

On slowing down with Star Wars: “I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven’t been specific about. And we are just at the point where we’re going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.’s. But I think we’re going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.”

-- Bob Iger

Because I'm not petty. Just slow. Shit, this news was from last Thursday!

Arrogant twat Rian Johnson

"Arrogant" is too kind. He didn't have the talent. He had the real amazing people in special effects and cinematography there to make an awesome movie, and he just sucked at his job. He wasn't arrogant; he just wasn't good enough.

It's kinda like when you start threads.

He planned to piss people off so much and to hate the subversion so much that they never dared to make another one.

Guess he was wrong.

There are rumors of another new Jedi appearing In 9.

Anyone know if Sam Witker is busy right now? God we could only hope

[ka pow]

The movie was pretty to look at but the story was asinine. Don't care how the series end, it's just so pointless now.

Do you watch Plinkett? So many people have this feeling.

What you experienced is how Plinkett describes watching The Last Jedi: "You may not have noticed it, but your brain did" - Harry S. Plinkett

Basically, on 1st viewing, it's easy to be dazzled by the incredible visuals and set designs. On a technical level, the movie is fantastic. Also, the acting is competent. Not good acting like in The Force Awakens, but competent acting (exception goes to Mark Hamill, he did a great job)

So The Last Jedi has two huge advantages over the prequels that help hide it's awfulness: 1) Amazing visuals 2) Competent acting

 

[Eusung]

For those that actually care about Episode IX....in the comic book canon.....The Last Jedi ending has OFFICIALLY been slightly retconned
UPDATES:

-Poe has been promoted to Commander shortly after the end of TLJ

-The "Black Squadron" is still in the galaxy but in trouble....so the newly promoted Commander Poe Dameron asks Leia permission to go rescue them

-So it is CONFIRMED: They are slightly retconning the end of TLJ. Leia clearly states: "This is all that is left of the Resistance".......but in the current cannon comic books, there are Resistance fighters that were NOT on Crate.

Prequels were too much blue screen. Ewan was great, and hayden was ok, if maybe not vader.

I think we saw a once in human history combination of narrative limitations and arrogance.

I agree with you that his shortcomings, especially as a writer, were clearly on display. But I'm also on record as stating that this was the most arrogant approach to filmmaking I've ever seen.

Does it really make a difference? As far as I can tell, the Resistance is made up of Poe, one general, and ten privates. I figure he could be anything from corporal to colonel and it wouldn't change things.

I guess it's a positive step to undo at least one minor detail that Rian Johnson wrote.

I hear you. But my main point was that they confirmed that Poe's fleet is out there and needs his help. This pretty much retcons Leia's statement that "This is the last of the Resistance"

So it may not just be Poe's fleet, but many, MANY resistance fighters out there. Bob Iger don't give a f*ck how canon "This is all that is left of the Resistance" is...he will make JJ ignore or retcon that bullshit so that the good guys have a fighting chance in the final episode of this trilogy.

I'm not really optimistic, but I'm more at the stage of "Hey, Revenge of the Sith will have some cool moments even if it sucks as a whole" stage.
