Star Wars: The Last Jedi is not the film we were expecting. Sit down for an expert review of the film-okay that was sarcasm I'm no expert but still... From the forced humor to the numerous plot holes there was a lot to pick apart from this film. Sure, it wasn't perfect but it was by no means close to anything Star Wars we had seen before. Let me know what you thought of it yourself.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Well crap... I dropped all my thoughts down here, Look at this mess. Looks a lot like this movie. Needs to be cleaned up.
A Great Evaluation Michael, you called it like a Boss!
I have been very vocal about my feelings on the Last Jedi and it really jaded me for any future Star Wars projects. What they did to Luke and so many things you pointed out. Ack! RJ subverted us but good, and it is a bad thing.
I grew up with Star Wars, I was there in 1977 as a 5 year old kid watching A New Hope at our local Drive in Theater. I sat on top of my dads Bonneville and watched in awe of something special. The Luke I remember would not try to murder his damn nephew! What the hell was that all about? Luke was the guy who saved Darth Freaking Vader, and he wants to murder Ben in his sleep for a little darkness he sensed.. Yeah, total bullshit. No thanks.
I am with a large growing group of folks who will no longer support Star Wars in the future.
However we have no plans on taking the piss out on smaller channels who enjoy talking and plan on seeing the future movies.
Movies are to be enjoyed and if some folks like it, great! But we won't stand by while the characters we loved and grew up with are so blatantly disrespected, and written so far out of character that it is worse than some bad fan fictions.
Sure it looked pretty, but that is all I can say for TLJ. It honestly depressed me for a couple weeks. Thanks RJ! And your perfectly round head!
Wow hahaha your first bit made me laugh and I would have given _ANYTHING_ to have watched a new hope in a drive in theatre when I was five, that sounds like the truth and sometimes I wish I was born 50yrs ago lol but what you said I completely stand behind. It's appalling to watch such an inexperienced director get hired and completely desecrate the films and heroes we grew up watching and looking upto. When I saw how many things he just blatantly threw out the window that were set up in ep 7 it made me so sad. All these plot holes were brought about so carelessly and you can tell he cared more about making a movie that looked cool rather than one true to the films. Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it
Watching Ethan Van Sciver? lmao, I love that guy
Thanks Michael! You made my morning here. I can tell you it is something I have cherished all my life and created a deep connection with my father via Star Wars. When he passed away in 2004 I had "May the Force be with you" on his grave stone. Star Wars has always meant a lot in more ways than just a simple movie. It was about connections, family and heroes bringing out the best in all of us.
I guess they don't understand that part and wanted to kill the past and bring in a whole new generation of fans. Which is fine, I am over it now and won't let it get the best of me. I have my memories and RJ can not take those away from me! Thanks again bud, you rock!
Edit:spelling
Gups, Indeed my friend, you called it! EVS is the man! One of my favorites!
Ty, very well said. It's been a generational gathering device for my family as well
Mark Hamill: “Jedi’s don’t give up!”
Yoda: “My beer you must hold.”
hahahahahahaa
Tell me I’m wrong... tell me I’m wrong!
TheY2AProblem yoda and obi wan didn't give up , they hide themselfs so that one day they could train luke and leia and destroy the sith , and they didn't give up in the jedi teachings our close themselfs from the force like jake skywalker did
@@marcostargaryen4181 this. This is what people don't understand. Yoda and Obi Won knew THEY couldn't win, so they stepped back, waiting for their new role to become needed. Their reluctance to train Luke could easily be them making sure he was who they needed. They didn't give up, they just had to wait a long time to fix their mistakes
@@TheY2AProblem you are wrong
Episode 9 should start with luke waking up "man what a horrible dream"
That would be honestly so funnny
That or you find out that he transcended to a new level of Force Mastery and sheds his morality to become a creature of the Force. Not living, not dead, but truly One with the Force.
Episode 10 Waking dawn
Michael Pierce I don't know if you heard Mark Hamil said he doesn't want to be in the next movie.
Ok better yet, Just reboot Episode 7. Dont make 9 forget 7 or 8 ever happened. Its funny that the movies are a story are now worse than the prequels. The reaction to the prequels was NEVER on this level including Jar jar.
Never, ever, weaponize your FTL in a Scifi Space war fantasy: It would render every Weapon system and combat tactic POINTLESS
AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT DID!
Rose takes off harness and says the dumbest line in star wars film history.
xD smh disney
The dumbest line in film history. Period.
Correction. Second dumbest. I hate sand is still worse
I half disagree with this. The line would have been fine in a completely different context. The problem with the line is that it directly contradicted everything that was happening on screen but it seemed like the writers didn't realize that. She's saying that they'll win by protecting what they love right after sacrificing the resistance to stop Finn from sacrificing himself to save it. Rose is either a complete idiot, or a traitor. All the had to do to fix this though was change the scene with the fight between Phasma and Finn so that rather than Phasma pointlessly dying against when she falls through the floor she instead escapes, Finn tries to chase after her because he hates her, and then Rose stops him with that line to get him to escape with her. Would have fit perfectly, and it would have even made Phasma a slightly less stupid character.
Of course if they had done that they would have had to change later scenes as well but those scenes were what caused the whole problem in the first place so that's a good thing.
adam 97 I hate sand is from wich film?
Episode IX - The Peace of Rey... You just know she's going to personally take down the whole First Order and establish a Utopian society.
*uses Force to become invincible and proves Leia could survive explosion
Yeah I can see it now Rey will be able to on force ghost so watch out Yoda.
Jeez it's getting crowded in that Force ghost area, soon everyone will have a ticket!
Episode 9 Return of the Droid. BB8 takes down the entire first order
Yeah, I suppose someone will have to take down the evil, black BB8 since he's the only big bad guy now. I can't wait for the rolling droid zippo battle.
Another HUGE plot hole is that besides the fact that Rose is a pilot as well as a Mechanic you know from the previous movie that Fin is NOT a PILOT!!! he stated as much when escaping the base with Poe. so look at the timeline, he went from there to fighting Kylo to being knocked unconscious then waking up and now he can fly a ship. WWWWTTTTFFFFF!!!! he must have some Matrix thing going on because those ships are supposed to be old and barley operational but NO Finn needs to be able to fly for RJ's story to work!! Piss poor writing and no continuity with what was established already!!!!
Yep, Finn and rose both weren't pilots like a few hours before the movie started and now they're both flying each other all over the place, smh Disney
It's an insult to audience' intelligence.
Funny that some are so stupid they don't realize they've been bulshitted.
I didn't realize this until I rewatched The Force Awakens, and then went back to TLJ. There's no excuse for that at all
FN-2187 was high ranking special forces stormtrooper who had experience with everything. he was definitely put through a flight simulator so although he had never really flown a real TIE he know how to use the controls and most likely fly it had it come to that
Sorry Charlie now your just making things up to make this movie make sense just like the rest of the apologists. First of all Finn made it clear that although he was on a battle mission (it was his first) he was basically a janitor. And second if he had any flight training even in a simulator it would make sense that it would be on a first order vessel, but even when running from the FO with his his life on the line in TFA he again made it perfectly clear to Poe that he could not fly!! Heck he didn't even know how to release a docking cable!!!
“Animated”
“Animated”
"Ant Made It"
Yo macro
"CAPITALISM IS BAD"
Pretty rich coming from disney...
That wasn't the message. The message was basically profiteering off both good guys and bad guys is bad because you just keep the violence going that way.
@RoyJeton NOT AT ALL. Knowing Kathleen "DEATH TO ALL WHITE MAN" Kennedy and her political agenda, this was clearly the only message she wanted to pass, that "The world is a bad place because rich people exists". She is a vicious marxist, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER CAPABILITY TO TRANSFORM STAR WARS INTO HER PESONAL SJW UNIVERSE.
@@bigbangrafa8435 Imaging people actually believing this
First dude and 3rd completely missed the point.
@@jamesfontana3135 imagine not understanding
7:57 - Finn wasn't a pilot either: In TFA he's looking for one... (Poe).
Yeah I agree! I cant believe I missed that! Like 18hrs prior he couldnt fly a simply TIE fighter and now him and Rose are both great pilots each flying multiple different types of ships?!? What the heck Disney smh
I must give credit to MauLer's 'A Critique of Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Part 1' for pointing that.
BTW, those two Suns in the island at last scene - were they shown earlier in the film? I don't recall they did.
No, the director said it was a callback to the very first time we see Luke on tatooine with the two suns, we don't know if it was actually real or a hologram or something to do with the force or a mirrage, he was very unclear. He basically just put it in because it was cool
So it's all a dream? - That's good to hear, because he may be awakened in Ep. IX
DejaVoodooDoll The bridge was destroyed, those shields would be gone. When Poe finally learned the plan, he was ok with it. Holdo is not a politician she is a military officer, basically the exact opposite. We blame her, because there is no reason not to tell Poe, the most valuable person in the resistance, the plan. I would like you to explain how Finn suddenly knows how to fly, how weaponizing lightspeed doesn't break the universe and how Yoda can manipulate the physical world and why doesn't he just shoot lightning at Snoke, Kylo, Hux or any bad guy? Also how did Leia not only survive in space, but survive the explosion? If an amateur force user like her can do something as incredible as that, then Jedi masters and sith should be invincible.
So making a hologram takes more energy than surviving an explosion, decompression, space temperature AND lack of oxygen?
Ehh Rian was fighting back to the fans on twitter using an old non canon book to show it was possible
Luiz: brilliant. I had not thought of that comparison, though I hate both plot points. All your comments on this video are very insightful. You should make a last jedi analysis video of your own. I'd share that. Heck, even a blog entry would be great.
Michael: did you see the news that Riann Johnson stole most of the major plot points from a fan fiction trilogy by Street Solo? So it's not surprising that he's using non-canon to defend his audacious contradictions of the Star Wars universe.
I will make a video. I am waiting to be able to stream the movie. Thanks for the tap on the sholders.
Rian was nitpicking the dumbest fan comments. He quit as soon as I and my new friends (fan base) joined twiiter with real comments.
The funnier bit about Rey being able to fight off all the guards is SHE COULDN'T! they cgi removed a knife she was going to take to her spine, because Ryan was too lazy to reshoot.
OMG I JUST SAW THAT! I wish I put that in the video!
She kicked 3 people with 1 kick. That was dope. She used force persuasion or force grab or some shit to get that dude to throw his weapon before he got stabbed. That was dope. Kylo stabbed the floor. That was dope. I think Kylo threw a guy into the blender and Rey could only give love taps bc heroes don’t kill. Disney’s idea of a perfect hero is boring af and also pretty damn dope.
The fans are not fearful of the future, they want the past to be respected. Since Disney took over the franchise, they have been pissing all over it. They cancelled projects like Battlefront 3, and The Clone Wars cartoons, took away the comic book rights from Dark Horse, who were telling some really good stories. Then they erased the EU from canon and took Lucas's story ideas for episodes 7-9 and threw them in the trash. "KILL IT IF YOU HAVE TOO, INDEED." But yeah, the fans are just fearful. And now Star Wars has been infested with Twilight fan girls who want a sexual relationship between Rey and Kylo.....Reylo. He murdered his father in cold blood. ruclips.net/video/i9nOEAFClJE/видео.html . And Disney is pandering to these sick puppies. Disney destroyed Luke's legacy to make Kylo a more sympathetic character because fangirls want Reylo.....while Star Wars fans who have supported the franchise for decades are just whiney fanboys. Fuck Disney.
Well put my sir, well put.
disney is turning Starwars into a Beauty and the Beast story.
Those fan girls also seem to want Finn and Poe together. Finnpoe
bigbenhoward You mean aids and Rey-bies right?
Disney didn't cancel battlefront 3. The company making it went bankrupt
Finish what you started before beginning the next thing.
Don't get 89% of the way thru it and then restart the story from scratch.
They said let the past die. And I have let my interest in the Star Wars franchise die.
I have let my interest in giving them my money die.
Disney underestimated the hardcore love for star wars from all the fans since the beginning
Yes they did. There is nothing for me in EP9, or Solo or anything Disney Wars really. Genre dead...
Yeah Ep IX didnt hold much nostalgia at all, and there's no reason for us to get our hopes up for Solo but Ive heard rumors that its supposed to be pretty reminiscent of the originals but then again who knows
After what they did yo Luke I am not about to be happy with a consolation prize. Loved the video, keep it up!
Yeah dont remind me, poor luke lol, he deserved better. But thank you! Like your username btw haha
Another plot hole that you missed. At the beginning of the film, Poe lead the attack on the First Order's Dreadnought. He had words with Leia about destroying it. Leia wanted him to retreat and call off the attack. Leia was the general, so why didn't she radio the bombers and tell them to abort? Anyway, Poe said that the Dreadnought was a "fleet killer"(remember this line). So they lost all of their bombers in the attack, but did destroy the ship. Poe was admonished by Leia, and later Holdo, about the recklessness of the attack. But just a few minutes later, the First Order fleet found them and attacked their fleet again. The only way they all didn't get destroyed was the Rebel fleet was fast enough to stay out of range of Snoke's ship, but the First Order's Dreadnoughts had longer range and were "fleet killers"(there it is again). So Leia and Holdo should have thanked Poe for destroying it because if he hadn't, they all would die very quickly! But no, Leia demotes him and Holdo disrespects him.
Don't even get me started on the issue of why didn't the First Order just send ships ahead of the Rebel fleet, since they outnumbered them and could track them....
If this movie had come out as fanfiction first it would have been mocked and derided on any forum as garbage that insults the franchise but because Disney made it people are bending over backwards trying justify it's flaws and convince themselves it was good. Visuals no matter how good cannot salvage this.
Yeahhh Idk I see what you mean I just think there was a lot of things that could have been done better
Well If I'd read it as a fan-fiction I would probably have said that it has good ideas and solid scenes to it, but fails to be consistent along with painting itself into an inescapable corner. Also the writer utterly doesn't understand Luke's character and utterly failed to justify his 'development'. Not to mention missing some great opportunities for good moves.
Edit: Hell, if this and Force Awakens had both been fan-fics, I would have said that people should read the first one and take that as an ending because the sequel feels like it was written by both someone else and someone who has no talent for it which utterly hates the original author out of envy.
You guys know about the plagarism scandal? Maybe Rian Johnson did rip off a fan fiction for the last Jedi.
Exactly. It's fan fiction. And it's not even good fan fiction by someone who understands and respects the franchise. It's clueless, selfish, and careless fan fiction. And it's just flat out written poorly from a screenwriting perspective.
How about my favorite plot inconsistency?
"Hyperspace tracking? That's impossible!"
"What's that bracelet there?"
"Oh, this is so Rey can track us anywhere, even after hyperspace."
very good review... you said in 10 minutes what it has taken me over 10 videos to do and I am not even halfway done....
Haha thank you, I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed :)
And I have watched every single one of them! Keep it up :)
awww... thanks... but really I was not trying to plug my channel I think Michael did a great job here...
Anti_Trekker You are such a perfectionist that this is why you are not done yet! Everything you have put out is gold in my book sir! There is just an overwhelming amount of folks who complain on you and nit pick that it has in some way made you very careful about what you put out. I am a fan of yours, and I can say, keep on doing what you do, even if it does take you a little more time than others. You will always be your worse critic, well that is the saying but we both know some of the assholes that nit pick are worse than your own criticism. Your Borg series was fucking A+!
Thank you Ty.... that means a lot to me... I am not saying my work is complete crap... only that I tend to be... long winded... a lot...being brief is not one of my gifts... Michael Jae did a great job of boiling down to the essentials... while I am more of a lets get in and look at every little thing... kind of guy...
List of Last Jedi fails:
1. The Hero’s Journey
2. Character development ( one dimensional characters )
3. Pacing
4. Too many plot points
5. SJW stuff
6. Continuity to Force Awakens and any other Star Wars film.
7. The Force theme: No temptation to turn to the Dark side and no Fear when facing the Dark Side. “He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster . . . when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
8. Stakes - at no point we fear for the heros lives
9. Out of place humor
10. Force learning contradictions. Both Luke and Kylo teach the same thing... let go of the past, be in the present. It could be an interesting point but it doesn´t go deep. Too short and too out of context. Seams like the lesson is directed for the audience and not so much for the character of Rey. A real slap on the face on the fan base.
11. No trainning required to become a Jedi and to get powers you just have to download an app. Basically trainning and knowledge was replace by belief.
YeahI agee, the Rey being a Jedi without any training kinda irritated me and the movie having no temptation to the go to the dark side is a good point i overlooked
@You tuber R2 we need to be going up! not down!
Luke and Rey´s cave comparison. Luke saw a darker version of himself. A metaphor for "you are your greatest enemy" "beware of the dark side in yourself". Rey´s vision of herself: It doesn´t matter who were your parents. Your are enough. You have everything you need. Quote from Rian Johnson, "facing her greatest fear that, you (Rey) have nothing but yourself to relly on".
She doesn´t need help
She doesn´t need parenting
She doesn´t need the antiant Jedi books
She doens´t need a master
She doesn´t need training
She doesn´t need a pilot
She doens´t need a mechanic
She doesn´t need help to run
She doesn´t need a translator
Catch my drift?
*sigh dang it disney
*sigh dang it disney
@You tuber Luke had a lot of help Bub.
@You tuber MaRey Sue
You forgot that Finn went from the lowest rank Storm Trooper in TFA who needed a pilot to help him escape the First Order, to piloting a ship to casino land and then flying those strange speeder/attack things on not Hoth salt world, and gained this skill in a few galactic days. It's as if Riann Johnson never watched TFA, much less the original trilogy. This movie took the themes of the fringe extreme left SJW political agenda and slapped a Star Wars label on it. And to go beyond simple politics, the movie was about and force-fed the audience a nihilistic world view.
Wow, good catch, I totally forgot about Finn not being able to fly a simple TIE fighter. This literally takes place right after TFA so he still shouldn't know how to fly.
The movie is absolute dog crap. And I will never watch it again.
It was meant to demoralize anyone who watches it, it's as if a Sith Lord holds sway in this solar system...
Same thing has happened to Marvel Comics, most of the titles are written now by this group of SJW's that folks have been calling "Milkshake Girls". I've been watching a lot of videos recently that have been made on the subject over the last year or so.
Finn must have learned to pilot ships while he was comatose in the bacta suit recovering from the near fatal lightsaber wound that had absolutely no consequence for him in this film.
That whole Leia flying through space thing and surviving was like wtf is wrong with these people #NoLogic, though it was nice to see that Kylo didn't kill his mom. After seeing the trailer we were led to believe that was what would happen. Also that hyperspace kamikazee was like WTF. Also I hated purple hair lady for so long till she sacrificed herself.
Yeah I'm glad Kylo didn't fire at Leia, and yeah weaponizing hyperspace is so out there it's hard to fathom even though it kind of makes sense. They producers mentioned in an interview that it only worked because it was such a big ship, but then why not manufacture a small fleet of massive ships super cheap that without putting much inside them to just rip through a fleet of star destroyers next time they show up. And I don't like the purple-haired lady. i'm glad she died and save the rest of the rebels. Good, swift, heroic end to her character lol
Yea it makes sense because of physics and proximity I guess, because I think they jump is not instantaneous so the distance in front of the ship would not be enough for the jump to complete. Not completely sure how hyperspace works since its all hypothetical.
Agreed, I'd have to read up on it, I feel like it's possible in the sense that she did it but it's such a big thing to introduce to the universe SOOO late (8th movie) that it's like, "What, noone thought to do this ever once in all the years lightspeed has been around" ya know? Makes the other fights seem unnessecary almost
Indeed. The audience has never seen it though so Disney was like. Seems legit. lol
EXACTLY. Disney logic.
Reasons why Luke died like a coward:
1. He gave up on the Jedis and the resistance. Depressive much?
2. He could easily force pulled his ship and just go there himself.
3. He went to that island to die and got his wish? Wow, what a hero!
4. Obi Wan gave his life so that Luke and friends could escape but he was in a NO OTHER OPTION situation. Obi wan had Vader, 5 storm troopers and a precipice between him and the ship. Luke was never going to leave him behind... he had to do it... big difference.
5. Yoda was 900 years old and still did not give up on the Jedi (on the contrary, he praised the Jedi as serious warriors with the deepest commitment). He trained Luke and died only when Luke was about to become a Jedi ( "face him you will" )
I really wanted to see Rey pull that xwing out of the water, that would have been a cool callback that was missed
Kind of a nitpick, and doesn't take away from what you said at all. You're right.
But yoda didn't really praise the jedi as warriors.
Remember;
Luke "I want to be a great warrior!"
Yoda "like wars make one great, hmm?"
Basically he preached that seeking fights and being a warrior wasn't good. More that the jedi were a defence
The whole b"etter to be a fighter in a garden than a gardener in a war" thing going on
word
Just like with video games..
Story trumps graphics.
sad but true, yes
Literally The Last Of Us II
Some kind of Star Wars consistency with the old ones would be nice. I understand having new characters from the old ones, but keeping the rules of the force would be nice. If they stuck with the rules, Kylo would be a Jedi and Rey would be a Sith lord. I mean, she's all about hate and anger and except the times they force him to throw an emo fit, he usually seems to be calmer than her. And he had to work to get to where he is, while her there is no effort whatsoever!
Character consistency would be nice too. Hux was atleast a serious character in the first movie, while the last Jedi turned him into a joke. Is it so hard to ask for the characters to stick to who they are??
hahahaha some good points i overlooked, thank you
isn’t that abram’s fault though? he introduced the characters in a basic movie that had no originality. but to your point, maybe don’t freak over rules so much? i mean you’re talking about consistency in STAR WARS lol. that’s like trying to find meaning in an episode of spongebob. this trilogy was a mess tbh. but i like last jedi anyways cuz it’s the only one in the trilogy that (standing alone) has any value to me. but that’s just me i guess
Why should Luke be so hopeless? Why is it that the master-apprentice motif is upside down? Did Merlin gave up on his goal to unify the Land over Uther’s betrayal?
Why is Rey the one pushing Luke to do the right thing? Do you not agree with Joseph Campbell’ Hero’s Journey?
Luke changed from hero to anti-hero for dumb reasons.
Yoda was 900 years old and still believed in the Jedi. He died only after Luke’s trainning was complete.
Obi wan gave his life because he was in a no other option situation. He had Vader, 5 storm troopers and a precipice between him and the ship. Luke was never going to leave him behind.
“The Jedi must end" Who said the Jedis were perfect? Perfection is a fake notion. It is actually a Sith quality rather than a Jedi quality. Look at the Empire and what it represents. Perfect order, perfect system, perfect technology. A New Hope is Nazis in space.
If the Jedi must end, then what about the Sith?
Why did you double down on Rey’s Mary Sue criticism? Chuck Norris would shit on his pants. Rey is ridiculous over powered with no reason.
LUKE WAS NOT LUKE IN THIS MOVIE. I disliked that as much as Mark Hamill did, *sighs smh disney
honestly, i liked this luke way more than the cartoonish kid from the originals. i love him in the first trilogy but tlj kinda made him more interesting. like he now has flaws and second thoughts but in the end he chooses to help. it makes the audience question the jedi and their past of shady business lol. and also the jedi preached perfection (no emotion, trained since being a baby) while the sith (which is different than the empire btw) weren’t so pretentious. the star wars fandom HAS held the jedi as being perfect good guys. it’s interesting how rain johnson flipped that perspective. also- if u want to be angry, be angry at lucasfilm cuz this trilogy was handled so poorly and had no planning beforehand. rian made an interesting movie that i cared about watching. jj abrams is kinda lame when it comes to writing new stories. rian tried to introduce some new ideas to star wars but honestly the fandom couldn’t handle it :/ the sequels shouldn’t have happened but i’ll rewatch last jedi before any the other two for sure
@@aw.reverie I think they tried unsuscessfuly what you just described. Flahs backs to explain major plot points or character development is lazy writing.
I don't think this Star Wars trilogy (7-9) is salvageable anymore. If they want to win back the fans, they will have to start over with a different trilogy. But Disney may completely destroy Star Wars before that happens. I already know I'm not watching Solo or any other Star Wars movie as long as Kennedy and Johnson are still there.
I do think that they've destroyed it a lot already but I think having JJ Abrams make the ninth one gives it a better probability of not being completely trash rather then if Ryan Johnson was directing this one as well. And I'm curious to see how Ron Howard treats solo now that he's the director and reshot the whole movie that the last directors messed up
No they didn't mess up they couldn't be controlled like Rian Johnson._ Ron Howard is a safe director and if your expecting anything good be prepared for misery.
Lando Chewie Han get in trouble emila saves them._.The political bs needed reshooting hence why still no trailer.
Its a movie about his dice and the Kestle run.._have you learned nothing Disney doesn't care its going to be dire character assassination to elevate the female cast the guy playing Han can't even act.
Wow that was spot on, the female roles are definitely going to be held high by Disney and the main characters that should be legends will probably be relying on the females help to survive as the entire plot is wrapped around the story of Hans dice
Solo was actually pretty good and as someone who hated TLJ and just found this video I'd reccomend watching it
It actually isn't only disneys fault. The movies 1-3 are shit because georg lucas made all decisions. (Lucas is a quite shit director). I think the only good star-wars movies are the original three
You can’t be mad at Holdo not telling the plan if you forget that he withheld Finn and Rose’s plan. And when he does tell her he stages a MUTINY.
The only way to save this film, is to set it on fire and bury the ashes.
Maybe we can get force ghost Yoda to help us out with that
They need to have Luke wake up at the start of the next movie and realise that the last two movies were all a bad dream. Except Luke wouldn't have dreams like that, maybe Han could have dreamt it?
Hahahaha yessss thatd be great, second biggest twist in film history next to Vader being his dad
Or super Mario 2 it. It was all a dream due to Luke drinking to much green milk.
Then bury it with the atari ET games !!!
Throne room cinematography wasn't very good though, especially the wide shots were pretty wanky.
And those nameless guards having the same colour as their surroundings makes them feel even more insignificant.
Beppe They are insignificant. They, supposedly elite warriors, got beaten by someone with 3-4 days of lightsaber experience. Oh and Kylo conveniently forgot all his Force abilities, so he had to be saved by Rey at the end. Because Rey.
Yeah I get that. But for a fight to have any gravitas, a cinematographer should at least try to make the opponents or threat to the protagonist seem potent, or ominous, or any of the other aspects that would add tension to a fight.
These nameless, faceless, random weapon wielding Praetorian guards are the furthest from intimidating. The entire scene is poorly set up, poorly executed and poorly shot.
This is such a well thought analysis of the film! Great video, dude! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words! More coming soon! :)
This video was better thought out than The Last Jedi.
The Last Jedi novel answers your light speed kamikaze complaint
when did fin learn to fly? in ep7 it was a plot point he could not fly.
Exaaactlyyy, thank you! Wake up Disney
What about the whole "fuel in space" thing? So, apparently in Rian's version of space, you have to arch your shots and ships face wind resistance. I would understand not being able to make any more jumps do to fuel, but come on...
Yeahh there was a lot of problems lol I tried to include the biggest atleast
Michael Jae ya. And I hope my comment didn’t come across as a criticism of your video. You’re video is a fantastic summary of the major problems with the film!
this was a great video, short and sweet and straight to the point! cant wait to see more videos on movies, Michael Jae!
one of the best vids ive seen on TLJ, i really like how you actually tried to address the problems with a possible solution instead of just pointing the problems out
I hated the last Jedi.
eXaCtLy
Right On, agreed.
Genre dead...
:,( the old ones will live on
you got over it, you like it now?
That's terrible!!!
I have a question, why would luke leave a map to find him if he " came to this planet to die"?
Don't forget how hypocritical it is to shoehorn an anticapitalism message in a movie that's basically a commercial for toys.
Prince Thunderflare funnily enough, the toys for the movie sold poorly. Maybe that anti-capitalism message wasn't a good idea after all.
I hate greedy corporations like the next guy, but a Star Wars film is not the ideal place to hold a protest. Besides we'd still get a better example from EA's Battlefront II.
Agreed on a lot of points. I did however like the movie - except for Rose. Just simply felt that character was so unnecessary and "wasted" valuable screen / plot time...I wanted to see more of the others.
Overall I liked the movie and cant wait to watch it again, theres just quite a few things that they could have done better. and yeah Rose was a good background character but in no way did she have the character development to be a main character
Great vid.Here another one for consistancy.REy is on the island.Where she stays for days.Back on the other side of the galaxy snoke's ship is pursueing the rebels with Kilo on it.The rebels have only 20 hours of fuel left.But somehow Kilo and Rey are forceskyping with eachother throughout the entire chase while days pass for Rey?And maaaybe it can be explained away by Rian in one of the countles youtube vids outhere.But face it Rian you wrote a poorly written movie with stunning STUNNING visuals.Together with disney you've hurt the Star Wars mythology and the path you've set it on is a boring one.
Yes! He came in clutch with those sweet STUUNING visuals but the story and continuity definitely left a lot to be picked apart
There was a lot wrong with The Last Jedi, and I agree it was poorly written, but more time seeming to pass for Rey can be explained by the simple fact that planets rotate at different rates, meaning that a day on the planet Rey was on could've lasted, let's say, 6 hours if the planet was spinning at four times faster than the rate Earth spins at.
Gabriel360LIVE ok fair point
Gabriel360LIVE... SCIENCE! Good one. 🙂
Christian!.. Tsk tsk.. If supporting life, and mostly water Ahch-To must be an app. similar distance from most likely it's prime, an S orbit as opposed to both the prime and it's companion (circumbinary) which would place it far, far further away, freezing, likely gaseous and, as natural rotating at a much faster rate than the inner planets.. You are doubly correct Hanne
I got a space balls "Your getting arrested for Illegal parking" feel from the Cantobite plot hole. Anybody remember that?
Yeah smh I cant believe that whole scene could have been avoided by parking not on a public beach
lol sure do!
Now if I can only remember the code to my luggage.
These are their stunt doubles!
You mention an interesting point, where Snoke found Kylo after he had fallen, yet it was portrayed that Snoke was the one who turned Kylo to the Dark side.
Yes he definitely had his eye on him since he was a child
So a planet with all the arms dealers and wealthy don’t have people intercept all ships and have them land on assigned platforms but cloud city does. You would think Cantu Bite would have the most security, but then Finn couldn’t have parked on a beach and gotten thrown in jail with a code breaker
“The heroes are he ones that are still changing, while the villains are locked and petrified into what they are.” - Akira Kurosawa. In The Last Jedi, the heroes are petrified and the villains are the ones who change. This is not bold nor visionary. It is a childish amateur mistake.
Kylo went from childish emo to ruler of the first order.
Snoke went from unbeatable ruler to deceived ruler.
Rey is and always have been a Mary Sue.
Luke is a sociopath and dies like a sociopath. Utterly alone. (even Yoda´s presence is like no big deal).
Holdo is arrogant to the very end.
Leia is super in every way from beginning to end.
Fin is an exception but is put aside of the main story.
Chewbacca is cute and helpful from beginning to end.
Poe is arrogant because he questions authority (this makes no sense)
Rose is a sjw. No change here either
Yeah, definitely going to be a miracle of JJ can somehow pull all these characters' journeys together and make sense of the jumbled mess Rian left VIII in
Months later and repeats viewings and TLJ is still a dumpster fire.
Sad but true :/
Michael Jae I'm new to your channel and even my daughter thinks your awesome! She's 8 and loves your animation. LOL!
DaGaZ Rune I'd say it's more like those big pits of trash I think they are called landfills
I had a lot of issues with TLJ, like just about everyone else, but I think Holdo not telling Poe the plan is one of the few things I can understand. The Resistance wasn’t fully aware of the First Order’s hyperspace tracking. The only way they could be tracked otherwise would be if there was a mole on the ship telling the First Order their location. The plan was likely not shared with many people on board, and Poe having just been demoted, and shown to be a bit of a loose cannon only makes his demands to know the plan more sus in Holdo’s eyes. Let’s not forget that Poe not trusting Holdo and sending Finn and Rose of their wild mission is the only reason that Holdo’s plan failed. If Poe had just accepted the fact that Holdo was in charge, had a plan, and he just sat down and listened to his superior officer, the plan would have worked just fine, the Resistance would have secretly escaped to Crait, and Holdo would have jumped out of the system, leading the First Order away, and all of the ships that were shot down and the people who died on Crait would have survived. Poe literally only made things worse because he thought he knew better.
Even then, the dude just blew up Starkiller Base, initiated the attack on a dreadnought that surely would have killed them, has been captured and tortured by the First Order, and is second-in-command, yes? You've gotta trust somebody at this point. And if she's worried about someone eavesdropping, take him somewhere for a private conversation officer-to-officer. How can you expect your subordinates to follow you when everyone's living on borrowed time, and you're not sharing any plan on how you're going to actually make it out of this situation?
By the end of TLJ, the Resistance consisted of about 8 dudes aboard a single ship, which was a 'hunk of junk' 30 years ago, so it's pretty miraculous it's even able to fly, and the First Order had most of its forces blown away by that hyperspace attack, because obviously, they keep ALL of their armies on those ships (as well as Phasma and ALL troopers being present to an execution of a single traitor and a random girl). Not to mention that the First Order crumbles in EVERY fight - their fleet got utterly annihilated by a single ship, Starkiller base was blown up by a couple people, and the feared Dreadnaught couldn't fire more than like 5 shots, + had no defences outside some shitty static cannons unable to hit a thing.
I really hope the resistance will stay this way, some 10 people who somehow make it out of every bad situation with ease, somehow eliminating a massive military organization and getting hold of the entire galaxy. That would be so fucking stupid, like a B movie that's so bad it's actually hillarious.
that moment when you realise that spacing someone was a recommended method of execution for Jedi masters during order 66 since death in the vacuum of space was unavoidable... and then rewatch the Leia scene :(
yeahhhh this movie was a shocker for us all
Seriously, the only good thing in thismovie was that Poe has got more screen time.
I loved him in this movie, he resembled a little bit of Hans Solo and Anakin to me and in his 'go get em' attitude
hey i also liked rose
That moment when finn was about ram the cannon was badass.
But then you know.
I like your reviews! You got me binge watching your videos.
I hated how this film just did not feel like Star Wars. The weird casino horse racing planet was the most unstar wars thing I’ve probably ever seen. Every scene on that planet felt like I was watching an entirely different movie.
Not to mention how for a Star Wars movie, barely anything happened. Every other Star Wars film to date had so many sub plots and things to look out for that made it CONSTANTLY interesting. For example, Episode 3 showed the fall of the Jedi, the conflict between Anakin and Obi Wan, several large scale and personal battles and how Anakin turned to the Dark Side, showing every piece of information throughout. Episode 7 (although it’s basically a remastered episode 4) shows that the galaxy is endangered by the first order, we are introduced with several new characters, there are several exciting scenes where Rey escapes captivity from Kylo Ren as well as several battles throughout, we saw the saddening death of Han Solo establishing the true dark side of Kylo, how the rebels got onto the the Starkiller base and managed to disable the shields and then blow it up. It had so much content and so many things happening in a way where it wasn’t cluttered but it was hugely interesting. This film literally had the rebels pathetically trying to escape the first order, Rey trying to get training, Snoke getting killed which was a huge missed opportunity, rebels going into that red and white planet and having a pathetic standoff only to run away with most of the rebels dead and the first order as powerful as they ever were. What?
What I don’t understand is that the Spark to start the flame that is the first order should’ve been when they blew up starkiller base. Starkiller base is such a massive powerful weapon of destruction that has caused so much pain and distress throughout the galaxy, yet once the rebels blow that up, the next film we get... nothing? Nobody comes forward to intervene or contribute to the rebellion? How are they supposed to set that metaphoric spark again? And how did the first order manage to sustain their expansive fleet and army while having their base completely eradicated?
This film made no sense, completely messes up Star Wars and leaves a very difficult and complicated path for the next film.
You hit the nail on the head, it didnt _feel_ like a star wars movie and i didnt realize that until just now. Everything took place within a few days tops from the beginning of TFA, there were just too many plot holes over all and i didnt even begin to cover them all but you made some really good points here, thank you
Amazing it kind of sounds like you also mention Empire Strikes Back the whole movie is about the Rebels and the main characters on the run and Luke being trained.
It also killed any sense of mystery that Force Awakens created.
The more I've thought about Force Awakens, the less I liked it. I think it's basically a big-budgeted fan film that makes the main character a Mary Sue and insists we like and respect her more than the original beloved characters, without her needing to earn it. It plays at being Star Wars. Sometimes successfully, but not always as well as it thinks it does. But it still feels too often like it's play-acting at being Star Wars, not actually just being Star Wars.
But all that said, Abrams did succeed in creating a sense of mystery and left things open to progress that could potentially add great context, texture and reveals down the line.
Then Rian Johnson threw out what gains Force Awakens actually made and left us with nothing to care about. Everybody is either dead, bitter and given up (and dead), or the solution to the mystery was there wasn't any actual mystery (Rey's parents) so blah.
Abrams is kind of a slightly above average writer/director who did exhibit some care towards the existing universe of Star Wars. Johnson is a hack with no sense of how bad of a writer he actually is and no real care or mindfulness for the lore and story he was given to work with. Neither seem to be able to resist having injected their real-world and transitory social ideologies into it, which is, YES, a bad thing for this kind of mythical storytelling.
Holy mother of Yoda, Holdo is Dr Sattler?!?! WHY?!?! Nooooo, now Jurassic Park is ruined for me too!!! I cry inside now...
xD hahahaha dont worry she was much better as the dinosaur lady than she was as admiral purple hair
You'll never look at her sexism remarks in Jurassic Park the same way again. :p
I really loved The Last Jedi. No joke. The most underrated Star Wars movie.
OH MY GOODNESS I NEVER THOUGHT the Sence in the last Jedi are similar to the original trilogy
For Luke to be living as a hermit like Obiwan on Tatoonie in ep4 and Yoda on Dagobah in ep5 (that's what they were going for) they had to make it that Luke had gone into retirement because he didn't need to hide from the First Order like Obiwan and Yoda had to hide from the Empire, because unlike the Empire the First Order is not as strong and not in control of the galaxy. Not many people seem to mention this. However, all in all I feel that George Lucas made a big mistake selling SW to Disney. I think a new trilogy should been his story, even though I wouldn't want him to actually make it.
Yeah I even like JJ Abrams rendition of it better, but even so obi wan and yoda both helped luke, luke didnt want anything to do with Rey he just want to be left alone, I just wasn't true to his character from the originals
You forgot that Ray even managed to beat Luke and her forcepowers seem to be comparable to Yoda's xD funny that when she comes to Luke she actually has to set him right... I really can't stop hating this movie :(
Yeah smh good catch, I camt believe that, I hope Solo is better but the actor just honestly doesnt even look like Han :/ They just need to get Ewan McGregor for the Obi Wan film already lol
she could beat luke because he hasn’t even been in contact with the force for so long. he was out of practice while she was super hyped on adrenaline and fresh training
Love these videos, can you make more in-depth movie reviews?
Episode 9 beginning: Finn wakes up from agitated coma dreams aboard the Resistance capital ship. They are not being chased by Snoke and are doing well after their victory at Starkiller Base. Episode 8 was a bad fever dream
Don't blame Disney. The people to blame were all a part of Lucasfilm before Disney took over. I'm talking about Kathleen Kennedy and Pablo Hidalgo. Kennedy was George Lucas' hand picked choice to lead Lucasfilm for Disney. And Hidalgo is head of the Lucasfilm Story Group. In interviews the story group folks are so proud of all the little details, the minutia, that connects the films and expanded universe - stuff like the compass from Battlefront 2 being in Luke's possessions in TLJ. But the story group doesn't seem to actually care about the STORY or characters. They can't seem to see the forest for the trees. What good is continuity in the tiny details when there is no continuity in the storylines, characters, or even the universe itself? Hidalgo signed off on the hyperspace battering ram and hyperspace tracking, both of which open huge cans of worms for the entire franchise (did you notice that when Jyn is reading through the names of all the secret Empire projects in Rogue One trying to find the Death Star data tapes, "Hyperspace Tracking" is the only one that doesn't have a code name? It was added in as a clue to what was coming in TLJ. This is the kind of thing the story group focuses on - little insignificant easter eggs!) Lucasfilm/Disney needs to fire these two clowns and put Dave Filoni in charge. He has headed the excellent Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. I'd love to see him start working on the film side.
Mr. Boma's Balloons rebels worst series in the sw universe after 7th and 8th episodes
Supposedly, JJ Abrams wrote a script for TLJ and then Rian Johnson completely rewrote it...if true, he's a big part of what ruined this...plot holes everywhere, and a completely new person with the name Luke Skywalker...not the same man/character as other movies! And all the new, universe-breaking tech and strategies, what?
Andrea B - I had read that JJ gave Rian an outline for Ep VIII AND Johnson discarded it. So yeah, Johnson is ultimately responsible for the garbage we got. But Kennedy and Hidalgo allowed it all to happen. They should have told him No.
But if Lucas would have taken over himself we could have had the brilliants of the original Trilogy and not this Clusterf... of a movie. the last good Star Wars movie was Rouge One.
Hyperspace tracking was in the original Star Wars film. Leia and Han even argue about it. "Not this ship, baby." Yes, that ship.
Surface level: Pretty jingly keys.
Everything else: Trash.
I don't know what this comment means but it's very artistic 👏🏼
What I mean is that it looks pretty and it has lovely sound design. But, when you get into the plot, character actions, etc it just falls apart. A nice pretty spectacle with no substance. The hyperspace attack is a near perfect microcosm for the whole film. Which, for someone like myself, that stop being impressed by visuals and nice sound design in the early 2000s, when computers got to the point where they proved they could put basically anything on screen if they were willing to spend the money, this sort of thing is practically insultingly bad even without it destroying 40 years of history.
Gotchaaa the shiny keys thats jingle nice, ahhh very well put I agree. Wish it wasnt such a shallow movie though
We finally get to see Krayt, and no Krayt dragons?! The one thing the planet is famous for?!
I was one of the first members of the public to see it, and I’m sure everyone else in the theatre was thinking “wtf” every time I was thinking “wtf”
Stay tuned for Episode IX : In Name Only
I just found this and I feel like I found a treasure
hahaha thank you! Im glad you enjoyed :)
You're incredibly entertaining and cute animation doesn't hurt sir! Keep up the good work you got a sub!
Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate that and I'm going to keep it up! :D
I see the good in all three trilogies
OGs: Fun to watch classics
Preqs: Memes
Seqs: Something to complain about collectively which momentarily makes me feel like I have friends...
kylos final test is to kill an unarmed girl while his master holds her down haha great going
LAST JEDI - HERO´S JOURNEY ANALYSIS ( FAILS )
- COMMON WORLD -
Its a fail because the film started in a totally different enviorement; she was never there before.
Example: in Empire we spent a lot of time at the snow base getting to know the current situation and the characters who had clearly grown more mature.
- CALLING FOR ADVENTURE -
This was set in the force awakens but in this movie they forgot to repeat it, the heros journey is fractionated so some steps are repeated.
Example: in Empire Strikes Back Obi Wan apears to Luke as a ghost to tell him to find Yoda.
- SUPERNATURAL AID -
Rey is the one pushing Luke and forcing him to do things, so the master-aprentice motif is lost and this is a major fail because from now on every step of the hero’s journey is flawed beyond repair.
- REFUSAL OF THE CALL -
Rey is always ready to do the right thing.
Example: in Empire Luke breaks his promisse to stay and finish his training in order to go and save his friends even though Yoda and Ben warned him that it was a trap and that it would be better to stay and finish his trainning.
- THRESHOLD GUARDIANS -
Her first challenge is to be trainned but aparently she doesn´t need training, 2 lessons is enough.
- CHALLENGES AND TEMPTATIONS -
She excells at everything and always knows what to do. Examples:
1. The cave challenge she finds out that it doesn´t matter who her parents were, that she is enough and she has everything she needs. In Rian own words "the cave represents Rey facing her greatest fear ... "she doesn´t have anybody and she can only count on herself". Narcisistic much? She suceeds again.
2. The force skype conversation with Kylo she is clearly in control and is not afraid nor tempted to go to the Dark Side.
- ABBYS; DEATH AND RETURN -
Rey is brought to Snoke Return of the Jedi style and gets help from Kylo. This is a fail because the Hero has help in all stages of the hero´s cicle EXCEPT THIS ONE... were he has to face his greatest threat and go through it alone and with no help.
Example 1: in Return of the Jedi Luke beats vader and throws his lightsaber away... he has accepted his death... he has accepted his fate... Luke´s closure is that he is not his father... he is a Jedi and will follow his own path.... death was no longer an issue for him...vader helping and killing the emperor was part of Anakins closure and not Luke´s.
Example 2: Empire strikes back: Luke lost his hand and is beaten phisicaly, mentaly and emotionaly... he will never be the same person again. In a way the old Luke arrogant and impulsive died and was reborn more mature and in touch with reality. Also he receives no help from Obi Wan. Leia helps him escape but only after his fight with vader was over.
- TRANSFORMATION -
What transformation? She doesn´t need the Antiant Jedi books ( that she just found out about it ) nor further training.
The only transformation we see is that Rey´s character reaches Chuck Norris level of Mary Sue stereotype.
- ATONEMENT (abandoning of the Ego ) -
What Ego? She is perfect. She is even more perfect. She is all she needs.
- RETURN (gift of the Goddess ) -
They all return to the same place they were. She always saves everyone so no news here. Resistance on the run... again!
Booooooooooooooring
Definitely check out Rians interview that just came out on empire something, he gave his thoughts on a lot of the movies story choices and its an attempt to justify his choices but i didnt agreed with everything
Yes, the last movie will be a musical and will turn Rey into the next Disney Princess.
I wouldnt be surprised honestly
Have you noticed that after Leia Poppins flew back on the bridge and knocked on the door- when they opened the door the gasses blew INTO the spaceship- indicating that space had a HIGHER pressure than the crew occupied areas of the ship.
In regards to the rotten tomato's popcorn (that is those who watched the movie) review rating. They throw out anything below a one star rating, if you go through their reviews you will find at least 10% (probably closer to 15%) are below a one star rating. The actual popcorn review rating is closer to 40% (or even lower). One other thing, nothing in the other six movies or the animated series suggested fuel shortages was a problem. My theory? They were running on fan support as fuel and it ran out in the last jedi.
Luke has always been my favorite character and they completely changed who he was. What you said about him was 100% correct. Think about all the evil things Vader DID and the lengths Luke went to because he sensed good in him. At the point that Luke decided to kill Kylo, he hadn't DONE anything, Luke just sensed evil in him. I'm not buying it at all. The dynamic between Kylo and Rey and that wicked fight scene were the only good things about the movie. And at this point, Kylo is the only interesting character, so if he is just ultimately a villain that ends up defeated, it will be such a waste. I'm sincerely hoping for something redeeming in the next movie.
Agreed, it was honestly just so disappointing for them to turn the legend of luke skywalker into this coward hermit, thats not who he is as a person or as a jedi and i really hope they do something to make ep ix worth watching
Well I really disagree with what you said. Because I loved the film. But your opinion is your own, I can't change it.
But I do agree about thw rose finn stuff
That's okay! You can disagree! This is just kind of what I was thinking after I saw the movie, overall it *is* a Star Wars movie and I liked it and cant wait to see it again, but yeah lol rose and finn completely took me by surprise
Michael Jae wait in your review you called the film a disaster, and now you say you like it? Don't me wrong if your opinion has became more postive great!! I'm just a bit comfused.
Another great video, Michael! Short, simple, and to the point. Almost NOTHING made any sense in TLJ; I could write a huge laundry list of what all *I* thought was so horribly wrong - but I'm sure a lot of fans could relate and probably identify of all the same egregious examples I saw. Keep up the good work, though! :-)
This completely sums up my feelings about this film, great video man!
After The Last Jedi I have lost interest in future Star Wars movies and will only see the next one without paying for it.
I see where youre coming from, sad but true
trencher7 obviously
Yeah that sums up my opinion on the current Star Wars franchise. It’s really a damn shame to see a really cool universe being reduced to mediocrity. Sad part is that there is no excuse for the bad writing. They literally had 100s of stories to make movies from. They could have gone back to the old republic and do a Darth Revan story as well as following the events from that story. Or even go back further to see movies to the origins of the Jedi or hell even a Sith origin story. Imagine a rated R Sith origin story? Or they could even follow the story of what Darth Vader did after he got his suit and follow his story still. So much wasted potential for sub par stories that barely anyone likes.
Apparently, if we didn't think TLJ was incredible, we are wrong. Where TLJ is the 'right' direction for Star Wars, I don't want to be right.
It was just flat out such a poorly written movie. But then again what did we expect from a director disney hired whos only made 3 movies so far smh
Literally everything you said I was thinking throughout the whole movie glad I'm not the only nitpicking person lol great video.
late to the party but you pretty much hit the nail on the head, for the moments that were not well explained or did that suspension of disbelief, effect~ +1 guy, good job
I like your videos but can you consider adding a background or less harsh white backdrop?
Thank you! I was thinking of trying one out for this next video!
Excellent evaluation. You hit every point. Is it possible that so many of us noticed the SAME flaws and be wrong about it? I mean, most fans can agree with each point you brought up and yet, Johnson, Kennedy, and even J.J. still defend this....garbage.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I tried to get everything I could together in one video. And I mentioned this in my latest video but in the books there's a lot of excuses put in for almost every single one of these plot holes I mentioned almost like they saw was complaining about all the plot holes and then they tried to justify them
The pathetic part is that they make millions to come up with a story. SW has become a special effect spectacle with shallow and incoherent stories.
Please, never let this Ryan guy touch anything Star Wars ever again.
When it comes to grounded in reality from the perspective of space, never forget what General Grievous did. He defied the the vacuum of space and made his own gravity.
"Bold new direction" and "Rian thinks outside the box and delivers deep, character driven movies you didn't know you wanted." As if this movie is something like Blade Runner were people will understand and appreciate some time in the future. Its a bad movie. Period.
Yeah...it looked pretty though
i’ve never even seen anyone talk about blade runner in my entire life of film appreciation
@@aw.reverie you must be young.
What, this movie had a plot? Plus that's not how hyperspace works
ugh I know riiight
Well it is now sadly
I blacked out during the casino chase. I honestly don't remember the parking space scene. I must have gone into shock from what I was watching.
“Let the past die, kill it if you have to” is not the theme of TLJ or the sequel trilogy. That is just Kylo Ren, the antagonists, philosophy. Looking at Han, Leia, Luke, Finn, and Rey’s character arcs they all are about accepting the past and learning from it. Not forgetting it. Yoda’s scene in TLJ sums up the theme of the sequels pretty nicely I think. Also, the theme of Star Wars as a saga.
SWTLJ was only subversive for those who haven't seen RJ's previous movies. Go back and watch them and what he did in TLJ are echo's of his past work.
Add to that, he only directed 3 movies before TLJ and in two of those, his heroes are on the path to self destruction... Hello Luke, put aside your character and his history... Here's RJ to twist you in his image of heroes who are better off with a shotgun to the chest.
Yeah I can definitely see him not being the best screenwriter if he is only directed three movies so far, I'll have to go read a summary or check them out, I just think it was a completely different vision then what JJ had planned for the trilogy
I think JJ had more of a love letter planned. JJ is a director who milks what he has, even if he doesn't understand that a lighter touch can be as effective as high drama, energy and fast pacing.
RJ certainly didn't milk anything, he left that to Luke. And really RJ has the problem that is similar to JJ's. JJ get's caught up in the moment and forget's to pull back. Hence we don't get to see the New Republic. He didn't see Leia and Chewie as being people who would hug when his focus was on Rey...
RJ's problem is that he is incredibly character focused. He doesn't think about world building beyond what world his character's interact with. Hence, once again, this sequel trilogies scope and vision is very small compared to the world building GL did. And when your character's are the focus of the drama, the drama come's from the character's and not say, a surprise asteroid field that throws the heroes off balance and are left scrambling to react. If the drama come's from the character's then you need Joss Whedon level's of character understanding in knowing what character's know, want, how they react etc... And RJ, for all his flaw's, is a directer who tends to focus on visual's over everything else.
So when he has to conform to another person's idea's in terms of story, I don't think he's interested if the beats of the plot are high octane. He's not a director who compliment's JJ's 'Action! Action! Action!' style. He can do the fast paced action but he can't control the narrative of long drawn out action. His bread and butter seems to be people arguing and stand off's, whereupon the stand off is the conflict he wants to build and examine before effecting a quick resolution of the conflict
dude .. although i agree with most of your point about the cinematic beauty of this movie, especially the fight scene, but i totally disagree that you include rey fight with luke on the island as one of them, if anything its one of the shittiest scene in this failed movie.
Luke as this super jedi master got his ass kick by some random marry sue little girl that never been train? come on thats just pathetically ridiculous
Yeahh that was a bit ridiculous, even if he hadnt trained before but he was being defensive, he wasnt trying to hurt her, he just wanted her to leave
Michael Jae yes but still... he is a master... masters dont loose to noobs
Btw, at first I didn’t know what people were talking about with the bad “forced humor”...I didn’t even notice any humor...and I’m being serious
"...a little bit of darkness..." hilarious.
TFA was only so highly rated because it was the first SW movie in forever, not because it was actually good, as it just ripped off older movies, something JJ is really good at. It was a bad hackjob with a Mary Sue, Emo Ren, and a wandering plot and poorly paced action and scenes. All of his last several movies have been "reboot" "rehash" movies that simply reuse old material in HD. How original, Kirk died instead of Spock. OMG, lense flares! He's done nothing original, so I don't expect much from 9.
Yup, agreed, I liked its trueness to the OT even thought there was some questionable choices but TLJ just took it too far
This guy is underrated.
Aww hey thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Like this movie is.
"Even her dog had a little cameo in the movie!" *Shows a picture of Rose Tico*
The pilot thing I feel like in the star wars universe should be like having a normal car license in our universe. Almost everyone has one.
Spoiled Millennials psychological problems (not all of them are): Just like the Joker and Harley Quin, making Rey and Kylo a relationship role model is sick.
- Narcissism: You are perfect and you do not need to grow or improve yourself. False notion of perfection.
- Abandonment issues: Your parents have abandoned you and you are all alone in this world and you canno´t count on anyone except yourself.
- Wishful thinking: you know better and things should be done your way.
- Nihilism: is a philosophical doctrine that suggests the lack of belief in one or more reputedly meaningful aspects of life
- The new generation is better
- Disregard for the old generation
Summoned it up perfectly 👏🏼 kudos
Spot-on! Riann Johnson is a narcissist-nihilist.
Luiz Palombini
I have compared this movie to a play written by a college kid, pissing on his parents generation. He has written it , drawing in the stories and realities of his parents life, while living in his parent's house, going to school on his parent's dime, and writing it on his parent's computer. He trashes everything his parents believed in and enjoyed, then can't understand why they don't like his awesome play. And complains about that( and them) while they drive him home.
#whataboutackbar
"Let go of the past" immediately following A New Hope v2.0 (Episode 7). That movie was nothing but nostalgic fan service from start to finish. And then in Episode 8, they do Hoth...again. They need to take their own advice. I was hoping we would get the Dark Forces Saga (4 PC games - Dark Forces, Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy)...but we can't because Luke Skywalker is a predominant figure in it.
There is one major point, that I'd like to add:
YODA LIGHTING THE ANCIENCT JEDI TEXTS ON FIRE.
That alone is an inexcusable insanity. But the problem goes even deeper. Because the reasoning behind that scene is the sad fact, that episode 9 robbed the force entirely of its mysterious and mystical aspects. The force is supposed to be something full of secrets, hard to comprehend and even harder to use. Jedi spent thousands of years studying it, devoting their lives to it.
But now it's something, that you can easily master within two days, making the jedi of the past look like fucking idiots, because they couldn't figure out, how ridiculously simple everything is. I think, Yoda even said, that those books were boring and that Rey already knew everything, that's in them.
