I’ve been a die hard Star Wars fan my entire life. And I honestly still am. It becomes 100% more enjoyable if you avoid the online discussion and make up your own mind on things. I still LOVE discussing Star Wars. But I have to be careful to avoid how much hate there is in the fanbase. The sequels REALLY broke the community. You really have to sort through online communities to find people who just love talking about it. I have been disappointed with Disney’s use of the franchise recently. I thought Mando Season 3 was a huge step down to the point of being utterly forgettable and pointless. Kenobi and Boba Fett were also baffling wastes of potential. But on the other side, Andor is AMAZING, Ahsoka was pretty great imo, and Bad Batch has mostly been awesome! So I still adore Star Wars. It’s just that the content that’s being released is WAY more inconsistent because of how much of it there is.
I'm the person who will so as far as to say, "The Fanbase is ruining Star Wars." And people wonder why they stopped making movies and focus on TV Shows.

The ending of Episode 9 was a real "wtf" moment, even in my giddy first cinema viewing where my rational brain was turned off and I was just inhaling popcorn, I still went "wait, what?" I was so sure they were heading for a "light and dark reach an armistice" type thing with Rey and Ben, and then they both died and came back to life and kissed for no reason and one died again for no reason. It was the most confused, written-by-committee moment ever. I still don't understand anything about that scene.
@@BlackbirdRX i love star wars and i was so excited when force awakens was announced but after the last jedi and the complete disney bullshit chaotic without a point story i decided no to go watch it and i dont regret but i feel sad cause i love this franchise.

@@Facultarse Not really. Star Wars fans like stuff like the Mandalorian, where the acting isn't shit but it also pays respect to the original material.
@@ilikepigeons6101 Which proves my point, because it has Mandalorians and is ALSO paying respect to the lore for the Mandos, rather than shitting on it.
I was so disappointed when the New Republic was just destroyed and instantly forgotten about in the film. Not only is it stupid (how the hell did the First Order build the base and capture all of the Galaxy?) but it kind of ruined the chance to do something new. Like imagine a conventional war between the First Order and New Republic, with the Force Awakens plot being about the Resistance trying find evidence that they are building a super weapon so they can convince the Senate to declare war. But no, we just got Empire vs Rebels 2.0
I would've loved to more see a new enemy or something new not like another planet destroyer, just some new faction there could be like some imperial remnants but not a way stronger empire
And now we have shows like the Mandalorian desperately trying to make it work by turning the New Republic into a deeply incompetent "rule by committee" failed state, because that's the only way any of the sequel movies make any sense whatsoever. Honestly, I wish they would just steer away from the films entirely with the spinoffs, but I guess Disney wants their films to actually matter.
I'm to this day just baffled how Disney paid so much money for the most important IP in their catalogue, then proceeded to not plan the whole trilogy out and contract a director for all 3. That's the foundation of all the issues here.
As a lifelong SW fan, one of the best experiences I had recently was rewatching Star Wars with someone who's never seen it. I got to enjoy it almost like it was for the first time through their eyes.
I love Cosmonaut’s editing so much!! It just makes me smile and laugh and have a good time watching. I get kinda distracted with really wild editing, but this isn’t boring or stagnant either
I remember reading the leaked script, where Kylo was just thrown down the hole and never seen again. I legitimately thought that's how his character ended. I was incredibly relieved in the theatre when he actually climbed back up... only for him to die anyway lol.
And.... if you really wanna be an asshole, how about when Rey slices Kylo’s vehicle and sends it crashing and exploding and he walks out without a scratch
In Rise of Skywalker's defense, I walked out of it still liking Star Wars. I walked out of Cats not sure if I liked visual media anymore. EDIT: Holy shit, I made modern Star Wars fans agree on something without the use of Baby Yoda or the “I’m Han Solo” song.
Pairing Poe and Finn could have led to some great arcs. Finn teaches Poe through their own adventure that there is a deep personal cost to war, culminating with Finn sacrificing himself at the end of the movie to save everyone else. This changes Poe, now he's personally lost someone. He's still the ace pilot, but he's now leading a bit more with his head, instead of his heart. He's now someone who considers those around him, as opposed to being the hero. The next movie you could have had Poe establishing a Star Wars version of Top Gun - a group of elite pilots to help fight the First Order. One of the new characters is basically a younger version of Poe; a hot shot who only thinks about themselves and their ego and being a glory-hunter, leading to a lot of clashing between them as Poe is essentially dealing with his own demons, showing that Poe truly has grown as a person, while also dealing with Finn's death. Perhaps he feels guilt over what he sees as selfishness; Finn had to die to teach Poe a lesson, when he'd gladly give it up just to have his friend back.
I like all 11 movies, The Clone Wars, Rebels, and honestly even resistance is cool too. OGs are all perfect. The phantom menace is really cool because I love the characters and seeing Anakin as a boy. Attack of the clones is just a fun movie. ROTS is the best movie in the Star Wars universe just because it’s so epic. I like the sequels because the characters are good and they have a lot of cool action. And Kylo Ren is cool.
The problem with the "Finn is a scarred child-soldier"-story is that finn doesnt act like he is affected by war and killing in the first movie. I dont say he has to be a depressed character or stuff like that but killing dozens of his former co-workers while cheering is just not fitting for someone who is affected by war. Its just tonal dissonance from The Force Awakens. I think the reason why Finn is depicted, that he has to learn that war is bad, is because he doesnt act like war is bad.
The only real issue I had with Kylo is that he removed his mask so early. I'm sure people were ok with it, but it seemed like a really weird choice to me.
That was the best move ever, and it's a great visual portrayal of how differently Abrams and Johnson saw Kylo as a character. Abrams wanted to create Vader's loyal successor, the fan-service-ish villian, and Johnson practically mocked that decision with the "take that ridiculous thing off" line. He couldn't wait to work with Adam and show the true potential of both character and actor without the mask to hide his emotions.
I think it helps because Kylo isn’t fully embracing the Dark Side, he’s always conflicted with light and dark and him being in and out of his helmet does show that. Helmet on is usually pure Dark Side and when he takes it off the light is able to effect him, as much as I think it would be really awesome to have Adam Driver act with the helmet for most of the first movie atleast I understand wanting to show his face so people can sympathize with him more
I count 7 fake deaths. Chewbacca in the transport, C-3PO's memory wipe, Kylo Ren on Endor's moon, Rey getting her essence drained by the Emperor, Ben getting his essence drained by the Emperor, Ben flung in the pit, Rey immediately following her killing the Emperor and his entire cult. Couldn't the fakeouts of the civilian fleet by the Emperor, and the plummet of Finn and the other First Order defector (sorry, can't remember her name) on the command ship count? [Added hours later] Wait, make it 8 fake deaths. The planet that Poe's love interest is on gets blown up after she gave the First Order captain's hall pass coin, her only ticket off the planet, to Poe.
It's amazing how Star Wars can range from being the best thing you'll experience to the worst thing but its still the most important and beloved franchise that's ever been made
honestly, i wished she lived after TLJ but she was also wasted in TFA. in retrospect it’s kinda funny to me that there was so much build up for this character who just gets yeeted into the trash compactor. i do wish she was carried over into TROS bc she seemed kinda cool.
She got the Boba Fett treatment. You can say he is a better character because he's been there since ESB, has a lot of material outside the movies and looks cool , was made to sell toys. But it's exactly similar to phasma lol.
I think they knew exactly what they wanted with the design. It’s just a chrome colored stormtrooper. I don’t think she was supposed to be iconic and memorable in the first place.
The casting was perfect in a disastrous way: Cast Mark Hamill, grumpy old Joker as grumpy old Luke. Write Luke as if he was heartbroken and fucking sucked, breaking Mark Hamill's heart. Shoot it, get an heartbreaking performance. Unintentionally genius
I would like to say, the more down the rabbit hole I’ve gone for TLJ, the more I’ve learned Rian Johnson didn’t get to put a good amount of what he wanted into the final cut. Like to the point that a lot of Marcus’ criticisms of it wouldn’t exist because Rian Johnson wanted to do a lot of what would have worked (Finn and Po over Rose and Finn, for example.)
this guy reviewing seems to be what I hate about fans..he clearly wants the whole non special chosen one type characters...he wants everyone to matter the nobody gets the strongest force oooh the nobody that so subversive even though it makes no sense and is lame.....thats not how reality works bloondlines do matter ...a nobody can't be king on their own...power comes from that bloodline...its better to connect everyone than not to...its what we sign up for..give us the opposite we riot sorry..its established the skywalker vs palpatine storyline is all that matters so when you try to subvert that we all get mad...its what 8 films were about for gods sake ...don't make one film that tries to go against it...
Catherine the first, Theodora and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are all examples of peasants who eventually became kings or queens of their respective empires. There is also plenty of modern day stories of complete nobodies who were able to become millionaires. This kind of scenario, while rare, is not impossible. It sends a message that true power comes not from bloodlines, but from one’s self, which while may not be realistic, is still a better message to send then just be the chosen one or you’re useless. If we get the same Star Wars story for the rest of our lives, nobody will care anymore.
Rey as "Disney princess in space" I love that. Absolutely love Rey in The Force Awakens. Since all three movies were not planned out together, we'll never know quite what the plan was for her, but the title The Force Awakens seems to imply that her sudden abilities was brought on by the Force....awakening. Seeing TFA in a vaccuum, I was also under the assumption something was up with Finn too, having to do with the movie title, given his sudden awakening and defection, and his sudden courage at the end...and sadly we barely saw this develop on screen after that. That's all the say I was OK with sudden Force abilities, even without being related to anyone special.
My issue with Rey's abilities is not whether or not she's related to Somebody, or whether or not she's strong in the Force. It's that she's amazing at so much with zero explanation. Piloting? Repairs? Deliberate use of Force abilities? Don't ask questions.
@@TheSchultinator wrong. Rey is a scavenger so she knows her way around a ship, AND it was said before that she's flown ships before. It's been shown MULTIPLE TIMES that you can use the force without training. Luke did it in episode 5 on Hoth.
@BlackbirdRX Just because Rey's a scavenger does not immediately make her an excellent mechanic, especially with systems she shouldn't have any familiarity with. Knowing what's a valuable part and where it can be found is not the same as knowing how it works or interacts with anything else, especially if all the ships Rey picks through are shattered hulks. Similarly, knowing how to fly to some level does not mean she is able to throw an old ship around like a starfighter. That's like taking a civvie Cessna pilot and expecting him to out-fly Maverick; it defies logic. Last, saying that Luke having to really focus to be able to pull a lightsaber is in any way equivalent to Rey using the Force to counter a mind probe and then mindtrick a guard is so disingenuous.
The Throne Room scene in TLJ is just A+ from start to finish. It's so good. Imperfect movie, but it delivered one of the best moments in the whole franchise. "You're nothing, you're nobody... But not to me." is one of the most compelling moments of a villain tempting the hero I've seen in a movie (based on everything we know about Rey up to that point) and I legit wasn't sure what was gonna happen next the first time I saw it.
I think the biggest issue with the throne room scene is the fact that Snoke never got a chance to shine as a character. Kylo betraying him was kind of undercut by the fact that we had no idea who he was or what his and Kylo's relationship was really like. Was it abusive? Manipulative? We can kind of get a sense of that from this scene but it's literally the first time it happened. Was Snoke a father figure to Kylo or more of a boss/ruler? We have no idea and it makes his death fall flat for me. Instead of feeling excitement that Kylo made this incredible decision, I was only left with a feeling of confusion. I thought, "Oh, I guess he's dead now. Why was he in the movie again?" In a vacuum the scene is great, but in context it feels unearned and rushed.
The ironic thing is Johnson initially had the subplot involve Finn and Poe but claimed he found their dialogue “interchangeable” so he replaced Poe with a new character.
Forest Whittaker's death is even more annoying because his character is shown to have a limp as well as problems breathing. Instead of saying "I'm done running" (one of the most fucking cliche lines I can think of, and it means nothing because we've never seen him run from danger), have him say "I won't make it to the ship, I'll just slow you down. If you want to help me, avenge me." That would have made sense, and it would have given what's-her-face motivation to fight the Empire.
11:03 In hindsight, the Andor TV show filled in all the blanks. Kind of reminds me of how Filoni filled in all the blanks of the prequels in the Clone Wars.
People made fun of Morbius but seriously, if there was any movie that deserved the title of being “one of the movies ever made” it would be the 2019 Star Wars movies

@@o...o4144 That's a lie and you people know it. Nobody knows who the actress is and the bully against her in social media makes no sense. The character of Rose sucks, just like Jar Jar, that's why she was removed from the plot. Difference is, because of this pathetic SJW mentality, you people assume she was removed because of her ethnicity, not because the character sucks.
38:35 As much as I love Revenge of the Sith, I have to acknowledge that Grevious is an underdeveloped character. He is merely an obstacle to the jedi. His only important traits are that he carries 4 lightsabers and that Count Dooku trained him. He was a plot thread that was introduced in the last film of a trilogy. My point is, Grevious didn't become an interesting character until The Clone Wars. I know the 2D micro series existed years before, but Grevious was just Michael Myers essentially. The Clone Wars delve into Grevious's origin, rivalry with Kenobi and Ventress, his relationship with Dooku, and his bloodthirst results in the war. What The Clone Wars did for The Prequels is what I hope Disney will pursue with The Sequels.

They wasted practically everyone's character in these movies. Aside from Luke, I think Phasma got the worst treatment. She was so hyped up before the movie came out but turned out to be absolute shit.

I don't get it why couldn't he only had rey to be his love interest and have some love triangle between finn rey and kylo And i think that they didn't focus on finn being is cuz globally there are still a lot of countries that don't accept homosexuality and it's in Disney's interest not to include a big box office franchise like sw
Darth Tron I saw online that they removed the quick kiss between the two resistance woman in some countries. So obviously Disney made the few seconds easy enough to edit out when necessary.
You touched on this in the TRoS section but I think people need to blame Disney more. They were the ones that didn't plan the trilogy, they were the ones who hired to directors and didn't have them coordinate, they were the ones who likely pushed for TRoS to be so reactionary to TLJ. I think Disney is solely responsible for the problems with the sequels.
On your point on Finn’s arc being repeated across TFA and TLJ I do feel there is a slight distinction that, while underdeveloped from an execution standpoint, is nonetheless important to contextualise why Finn is given the side plot in TLJ. In TFA, Finn does *not* join the resistance. Not even unofficially. He abandons the First Order and wants to run, his motivation only changing to go and save Rey. He says as much to Han right when they’re on the base and Han is apoplectic that Finn technically used the Resistance for his own means. Finn gets knocked out defending Rey. TLJ starts Finn off with this exact same motivation. His first line waking from unconsciousness is shouting “Rey!” And then his next line is asking Poe, “Where’s Rey?”. He still has not joined the resistance and that is why he gets the proper war=bad lesson arc as other loose he has no reason to stay with the Resistance after he finds Rey again.
It's a reveal that made sense, considering how thoroughly embarrassed Hux is over the course of the first two films. I would expect him to pin that on Kylo and want to get back at him for it, but him shouting "I'M THE SPY" was a bit on-the-nose. I think TROS would have been a much better movie if they dedicated some screentime to actually show what the characters are feeling and to elaborate on major plot points. Especially the force healing thing. They should have explained that. Even if it was something stupid like "because you are the last jedi the light side is more concentrated and you've unlocked force powers that exist only in myth" or something. anyways that's my hot take i'm just some nerd on the internet and will stop ranting to strangers now
Man I think this is the first Last Jedi take that is similar to how I viewed the movie. It kinda reminded of the feeling of reading a great author's debut novel. They have some really interesting innovative choices combined with some pretty obvious lows. I'm partial to this type of fiction but I understand if people are more tripped up by the negatives. The lack of acknowledgment of any of the positives almost pushed me into a camp of defending this movie as if it was 2001 A Space Odyssey when it was really just a decentish star wars movie that didn't have a third death star.
Mauler gets on my nerves so much. Even when I agree with him. Someone who doesn't really understand how people actually work despite, as far as I know, being one.
People aren't mad that Rey is good at things, they're mad that she is better than everyone at everything. She can always one up someone at something even if it's her first time. It's just a boring character.
I legitimately like Rey. personally I would have liked her to be related to Luke but her being a nobody was fine too. Her being a palpatine is a strike on my soul
Speaking of The Rise of Skywalker’s opening crawl, the message Palpatine sends across the galaxy is only heard off-screen in Fortnite. Fortnite is now part of Star Wars canon.
I never understood why solo was disliked. I think it was pretty good. At the time I scratched my head to ask why maul was there because last I thought he was… dead? Or something, but I then wondered what that meant for q’ira. Whom we’ve not heard from since.
Finn is the most wasted potential in the history of cinema. I really loved his arc in the first movie. He was my favorite, and then they threw it all in the garbage.
I think 99% of people agree with you. I remember going into the last Jedi thinking, "Okay. This is where Finn will start getting awesome." To say the least, I was very wrong.
Honestly if the ex storm trooper trained to be a Jedi, that would have been the coolest shit in the entire world. I’d probably actually CARE a bit more.
Clefton Mee too! His story in TFA was so great and it just went downhill from there (like the movies, with the exception of solo) Could you imagine if he AND Rey were the main characters in the whole trilogy for the whole trilogy, that’d be awesome! A stormtrooper that left the first order to become a rebel, and then (this is imaginary) became a Jedi?! And rebuilt the Jedi order along with a scavenger that’s also force sensitive, that would’ve been so cool Oh well
I actually thought Finn was going to wield a light saber and gain a connection to the force whilst still being a skilled blaster shooter. It'd have been cool as he didn't have a major connection to the jedi directly. He did hold his own against Kylo after all.
Agreed. I was so excited when Finn and Rey were introduced; I felt like both had a ton of potential and were going to be really fun to watch, but then they threw Finn to the side and kept tricking us about what Rey could do and who she was.
Caitlyn Winkler Exactly. I have no clue why they just wasted Finn after TFA. Having a woman as the MAIN main protagonist isn’t a problem at all, I’m fine with that. But you could still have good stories and development for other characters! Especially the character that, if we’re being honest, was kind of marketed as the main character in the first movie! Finn was always seen holding the lightsaber in promotional material, including trailers. To have Rey be the kind of secret real main character in the first movie and then be the real main character moving forward is fine, but to just entirely waste him is just such an unnecessary and stupid thing to do! His arc in TFA was to fantastic and compelling, and the could’ve done some great stuff with him in the future, but no we need ReY pAlPaTiNe. Oh sorry, this was pretty long.😅
You said it -- Best way to solve the Rose problem...have her and Poe switch places. Poe and Finn go off to Canto Bight and have actual scenes together, Rose is the one questioning Laura Dern. Make that loss of her sister a reason why she's important in those scenes. I'm pretty sure no one would dislike her as a character then. Also, why would two male characters having scenes together have to be gay? That would make a lot of past movies very....different.

I was so sure they were heading for a "light and dark reach an armistice" type thing with Rey and Ben, and then they both died and came back to life and kissed for no reason and one died again for no reason. It was the most confused, written-by-committee moment ever. I still don't understand anything about that scene.

I was so disappointed when the New Republic was just destroyed and instantly forgotten about in the film. Not only is it stupid (how the hell did the First Order build the base and capture all of the Galaxy?) but it kind of ruined the chance to do something new. Like imagine a conventional war between the First Order and New Republic, with the Force Awakens plot being about the Resistance trying find evidence that they are building a super weapon so they can convince the Senate to declare war. But no, we just got Empire vs Rebels 2.0
I would've loved to more see a new enemy or something new not like another planet destroyer, just some new faction there could be like some imperial remnants but not a way stronger empire
Also, why the hell is it called a "Resistance" when the republic is on their side, shouldn't the first order be called that?
And now we have shows like the Mandalorian desperately trying to make it work by turning the New Republic into a deeply incompetent "rule by committee" failed state, because that's the only way any of the sequel movies make any sense whatsoever. Honestly, I wish they would just steer away from the films entirely with the spinoffs, but I guess Disney wants their films to actually matter.
I'm to this day just baffled how Disney paid so much money for the most important IP in their catalogue, then proceeded to not plan the whole trilogy out and contract a director for all 3. That's the foundation of all the issues here.

There’s actually 5 fake deaths in the movie. You forgot when palpatine throws Kylo into that pit in the ground and he climbs back up
also another if you count when Rey sliced off the wing on Kylo's ship and it wrecked and exploded into flames with him inside it

Pairing Poe and Finn could have led to some great arcs. Finn teaches Poe through their own adventure that there is a deep personal cost to war, culminating with Finn sacrificing himself at the end of the movie to save everyone else. This changes Poe, now he's personally lost someone. He's still the ace pilot, but he's now leading a bit more with his head, instead of his heart. He's now someone who considers those around him, as opposed to being the hero.
The next movie you could have had Poe establishing a Star Wars version of Top Gun - a group of elite pilots to help fight the First Order. One of the new characters is basically a younger version of Poe; a hot shot who only thinks about themselves and their ego and being a glory-hunter, leading to a lot of clashing between them as Poe is essentially dealing with his own demons, showing that Poe truly has grown as a person, while also dealing with Finn's death. Perhaps he feels guilt over what he sees as selfishness; Finn had to die to teach Poe a lesson, when he'd gladly give it up just to have his friend back.

The phantom menace is really cool because I love the characters and seeing Anakin as a boy. Attack of the clones is just a fun movie. ROTS is the best movie in the Star Wars universe just because it’s so epic.
I like the sequels because the characters are good and they have a lot of cool action. And Kylo Ren is cool.

Thanks!
where's the palpatine has returned line? I keep wanting to go back to it we need a shortcut
The problem with the "Finn is a scarred child-soldier"-story is that finn doesnt act like he is affected by war and killing in the first movie. I dont say he has to be a depressed character or stuff like that but killing dozens of his former co-workers while cheering is just not fitting for someone who is affected by war. Its just tonal dissonance from The Force Awakens. I think the reason why Finn is depicted, that he has to learn that war is bad, is because he doesnt act like war is bad.

@@hrinionuwut8637good for you...
The only real issue I had with Kylo is that he removed his mask so early. I'm sure people were ok with it, but it seemed like a really weird choice to me.
That was the best move ever, and it's a great visual portrayal of how differently Abrams and Johnson saw Kylo as a character. Abrams wanted to create Vader's loyal successor, the fan-service-ish villian, and Johnson practically mocked that decision with the "take that ridiculous thing off" line. He couldn't wait to work with Adam and show the true potential of both character and actor without the mask to hide his emotions.
@@AnastasiaAisling
And thats why this trilogy sucks, is one director trying to mock the other, without trying to make a good cohesive story
I think it helps because Kylo isn’t fully embracing the Dark Side, he’s always conflicted with light and dark and him being in and out of his helmet does show that. Helmet on is usually pure Dark Side and when he takes it off the light is able to effect him, as much as I think it would be really awesome to have Adam Driver act with the helmet for most of the first movie atleast I understand wanting to show his face so people can sympathize with him more
The Rise of Skywalker was Co-Written by Chris Terrio. Who wrote God’s favorite movie, Batman V Superman so that explains a lot.
The only sin about Solo is that they didn't use "I'm Han Solo" in it's soundtrack

Couldn't the fakeouts of the civilian fleet by the Emperor, and the plummet of Finn and the other First Order defector (sorry, can't remember her name) on the command ship count?
[Added hours later] Wait, make it 8 fake deaths. The planet that Poe's love interest is on gets blown up after she gave the First Order captain's hall pass coin, her only ticket off the planet, to Poe.

She got the Boba Fett treatment. You can say he is a better character because he's been there since ESB, has a lot of material outside the movies and looks cool , was made to sell toys.
But it's exactly similar to phasma lol.
@@bella-tt9hk boba got eaten by vagina monster 😂
So was Bobba Fett. In ROTJ and the prequels.
I think they knew exactly what they wanted with the design. It’s just a chrome colored stormtrooper. I don’t think she was supposed to be iconic and memorable in the first place.
Mark Hamills performance as Luke in TLJ was outstanding! Actually all performances were good.
And I liked the themes of the movie.
It'll take a lot to make me like TLJ, but it's great that you like it.
The casting was perfect in a disastrous way:
Cast Mark Hamill, grumpy old Joker as grumpy old Luke.
Write Luke as if he was heartbroken and fucking sucked, breaking Mark Hamill's heart.
Shoot it, get an heartbreaking performance.
Unintentionally genius
I would like to say, the more down the rabbit hole I’ve gone for TLJ, the more I’ve learned Rian Johnson didn’t get to put a good amount of what he wanted into the final cut. Like to the point that a lot of Marcus’ criticisms of it wouldn’t exist because Rian Johnson wanted to do a lot of what would have worked (Finn and Po over Rose and Finn, for example.)

Catherine the first, Theodora and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are all examples of peasants who eventually became kings or queens of their respective empires. There is also plenty of modern day stories of complete nobodies who were able to become millionaires. This kind of scenario, while rare, is not impossible. It sends a message that true power comes not from bloodlines, but from one’s self, which while may not be realistic, is still a better message to send then just be the chosen one or you’re useless. If we get the same Star Wars story for the rest of our lives, nobody will care anymore.
there's a lot of deleted replies here huh
Yeah Cosmomaut was weird with his ratings.
Igor I think he likes them all but his expectations were a little different with each
Rey as "Disney princess in space" I love that. Absolutely love Rey in The Force Awakens. Since all three movies were not planned out together, we'll never know quite what the plan was for her, but the title The Force Awakens seems to imply that her sudden abilities was brought on by the Force....awakening. Seeing TFA in a vaccuum, I was also under the assumption something was up with Finn too, having to do with the movie title, given his sudden awakening and defection, and his sudden courage at the end...and sadly we barely saw this develop on screen after that. That's all the say I was OK with sudden Force abilities, even without being related to anyone special.
My issue with Rey's abilities is not whether or not she's related to Somebody, or whether or not she's strong in the Force. It's that she's amazing at so much with zero explanation. Piloting? Repairs? Deliberate use of Force abilities? Don't ask questions.
@@TheSchultinator wrong. Rey is a scavenger so she knows her way around a ship, AND it was said before that she's flown ships before.
It's been shown MULTIPLE TIMES that you can use the force without training. Luke did it in episode 5 on Hoth.
@BlackbirdRX Just because Rey's a scavenger does not immediately make her an excellent mechanic, especially with systems she shouldn't have any familiarity with. Knowing what's a valuable part and where it can be found is not the same as knowing how it works or interacts with anything else, especially if all the ships Rey picks through are shattered hulks.
Similarly, knowing how to fly to some level does not mean she is able to throw an old ship around like a starfighter. That's like taking a civvie Cessna pilot and expecting him to out-fly Maverick; it defies logic.
Last, saying that Luke having to really focus to be able to pull a lightsaber is in any way equivalent to Rey using the Force to counter a mind probe and then mindtrick a guard is so disingenuous.

Go watch the Original trilogy again fam
The Throne Room scene in TLJ is just A+ from start to finish. It's so good. Imperfect movie, but it delivered one of the best moments in the whole franchise.
"You're nothing, you're nobody... But not to me." is one of the most compelling moments of a villain tempting the hero I've seen in a movie (based on everything we know about Rey up to that point) and I legit wasn't sure what was gonna happen next the first time I saw it.
I think the biggest issue with the throne room scene is the fact that Snoke never got a chance to shine as a character. Kylo betraying him was kind of undercut by the fact that we had no idea who he was or what his and Kylo's relationship was really like. Was it abusive? Manipulative? We can kind of get a sense of that from this scene but it's literally the first time it happened. Was Snoke a father figure to Kylo or more of a boss/ruler? We have no idea and it makes his death fall flat for me. Instead of feeling excitement that Kylo made this incredible decision, I was only left with a feeling of confusion. I thought, "Oh, I guess he's dead now. Why was he in the movie again?" In a vacuum the scene is great, but in context it feels unearned and rushed.
I’m very happy that Marcus was able to criticize Rose without criticizing the Actor, while also saying he wished she had a bigger role in the next one

Forest Whittaker's death is even more annoying because his character is shown to have a limp as well as problems breathing. Instead of saying "I'm done running" (one of the most fucking cliche lines I can think of, and it means nothing because we've never seen him run from danger), have him say "I won't make it to the ship, I'll just slow you down. If you want to help me, avenge me." That would have made sense, and it would have given what's-her-face motivation to fight the Empire.

38:35 As much as I love Revenge of the Sith, I have to acknowledge that Grevious is an underdeveloped character. He is merely an obstacle to the jedi. His only important traits are that he carries 4 lightsabers and that Count Dooku trained him. He was a plot thread that was introduced in the last film of a trilogy. My point is, Grevious didn't become an interesting character until The Clone Wars. I know the 2D micro series existed years before, but Grevious was just Michael Myers essentially. The Clone Wars delve into Grevious's origin, rivalry with Kenobi and Ventress, his relationship with Dooku, and his bloodthirst results in the war. What The Clone Wars did for The Prequels is what I hope Disney will pursue with The Sequels.

wait this ranking actually makes sense
impossible
I loved Solo, too! I really want them to explore more of that story so much.
I also loved The Last Jedi
I liked all the Disney movies, to be honest.

the really wasted my boy john boyega by only using him to shout “REY!” in all the films

He got Jon Snow'd
He also got cucked to hell trying to tell Rey he loves her and never getting the girl in the end

The Disney Star Wars movies got me into Star Wars
Welcome then ! 😎
There was actually a fifth fakeout death: when Poe’s ex’s planet explodes and they make you think she was still there but then shows up later.
I forgot about that one. And a sixth when Kylo gets booted from the throne room, before he climbs up to revive Rey. Core theme of this movie: death is an absolute mad lad.
No one’s ever really gone 😂
honestly didn't even realise they blew up that planet lol
9 actually
7. The little guy survived too
8.Finn when the ship he was being destroyed
9. The person that was with Finn
That was that planet
“Cause god forbid he’s one of those gays” cracked me up
Oh no the *gay agenda*
I don't get it why couldn't he only had rey to be his love interest and have some love triangle between finn rey and kylo
And i think that they didn't focus on finn being is cuz globally there are still a lot of countries that don't accept homosexuality and it's in Disney's interest not to include a big box office franchise like sw
Connor Marshall amen man
i noticed two girls kissing at the end of rise of skywalker
Darth Tron I saw online that they removed the quick kiss between the two resistance woman in some countries. So obviously Disney made the few seconds easy enough to edit out when necessary.
You touched on this in the TRoS section but I think people need to blame Disney more. They were the ones that didn't plan the trilogy, they were the ones who hired to directors and didn't have them coordinate, they were the ones who likely pushed for TRoS to be so reactionary to TLJ. I think Disney is solely responsible for the problems with the sequels.
On your point on Finn’s arc being repeated across TFA and TLJ I do feel there is a slight distinction that, while underdeveloped from an execution standpoint, is nonetheless important to contextualise why Finn is given the side plot in TLJ. In TFA, Finn does *not* join the resistance. Not even unofficially. He abandons the First Order and wants to run, his motivation only changing to go and save Rey. He says as much to Han right when they’re on the base and Han is apoplectic that Finn technically used the Resistance for his own means. Finn gets knocked out defending Rey.
TLJ starts Finn off with this exact same motivation. His first line waking from unconsciousness is shouting “Rey!” And then his next line is asking Poe, “Where’s Rey?”. He still has not joined the resistance and that is why he gets the proper war=bad lesson arc as other loose he has no reason to stay with the Resistance after he finds Rey again.

My favorite part of TROS was when Hux screams "IM THE SPY" then dies
Screaming Fred Weasley
It's a reveal that made sense, considering how thoroughly embarrassed Hux is over the course of the first two films. I would expect him to pin that on Kylo and want to get back at him for it, but him shouting "I'M THE SPY" was a bit on-the-nose.
I think TROS would have been a much better movie if they dedicated some screentime to actually show what the characters are feeling and to elaborate on major plot points. Especially the force healing thing. They should have explained that. Even if it was something stupid like "because you are the last jedi the light side is more concentrated and you've unlocked force powers that exist only in myth" or something.
anyways that's my hot take i'm just some nerd on the internet and will stop ranting to strangers now
Hux had a Dead Ringer equipped and escaped offscreen
The reveal was a cool surprise but his death was done so badly
Fitting for his character.
Man I think this is the first Last Jedi take that is similar to how I viewed the movie. It kinda reminded of the feeling of reading a great author's debut novel. They have some really interesting innovative choices combined with some pretty obvious lows. I'm partial to this type of fiction but I understand if people are more tripped up by the negatives. The lack of acknowledgment of any of the positives almost pushed me into a camp of defending this movie as if it was 2001 A Space Odyssey when it was really just a decentish star wars movie that didn't have a third death star.
Episode 7: Classic Disney
Episode 8: Post-Walt Disney
Episode 9: Live-action remakes
…why did that make so much sense???
*The last Jedi summed up:* "he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit."
BEEFY BOI YES
COMPLETELY 🤣🤣
@KingOne I like the last Jedi, but as for the rest of your comment 291 people disagree
@KingOne blubbering nonsense happens to be a great hobby of mine yes. I'm glad you noticed :)
@KingOne thank you sir
"this movie isnt objectively bad"
well Marcus prepare for Mauler's 8 hour livestream about you
Mauler gets on my nerves so much. Even when I agree with him.
Someone who doesn't really understand how people actually work despite, as far as I know, being one.
Bruh that's hilarious
Pew pew, libtard destroyed
too true
A livestream I'm never gonna watch, cos it's a video by one of the worst RUclipsrs imo
People aren't mad that Rey is good at things, they're mad that she is better than everyone at everything. She can always one up someone at something even if it's her first time. It's just a boring character.
I legitimately like Rey. personally I would have liked her to be related to Luke but her being a nobody was fine too. Her being a palpatine is a strike on my soul
She is literally the worst thing to happen to star wars ever
The Last Jedi should’ve had a buddy cop movie with Poe and Finn instead of the Poe and Rose section
That actually could have been really good
Yeah they’re interesting together
And at the end they kiss. Those two clearly had more chemistry than any of the characters
@@celeryking3483 why tf does everyone try to make them gay? Why does there need to be any romance at all?
Imo if they did that, the last jedi would be a fantastic film
Speaking of The Rise of Skywalker’s opening crawl, the message Palpatine sends across the galaxy is only heard off-screen in Fortnite.
Fortnite is now part of Star Wars canon.
I'm oiling up my guillotine.
Like, that's nothing but a cashgrab deal between the two. At least make it a fucking star wars game, christ.
Fr?
It’s as if I heard hundreds of voices cry out in terror and were suddenly silenced
How the fuck does this stuff even get organized like this.
And here in the comments we have a bunch of band wagoners
I never understood why solo was disliked. I think it was pretty good. At the time I scratched my head to ask why maul was there because last I thought he was… dead? Or something, but I then wondered what that meant for q’ira. Whom we’ve not heard from since.
The jokes in last Jedi all fell flat but I did like the joke where Hux said "Did you think you got him?" after Kylo shot Luke like over 9000 times
Finn is the most wasted potential in the history of cinema. I really loved his arc in the first movie. He was my favorite, and then they threw it all in the garbage.
I wanted to see another Black Jedi
Also Kylo Ren
I think 99% of people agree with you. I remember going into the last Jedi thinking, "Okay. This is where Finn will start getting awesome." To say the least, I was very wrong.
@Seagull I honestly wouldn't mind if Rey and Finn became Jedi, it doesn't have to be like the original trilogy where only one person becomes a Jedi.
Honestly if the ex storm trooper trained to be a Jedi, that would have been the coolest shit in the entire world.
I’d probably actually CARE a bit more.
I hate how they make finn a really cool character and then just throw him away. I wish we saw way more of Finn
Clefton Mee too! His story in TFA was so great and it just went downhill from there (like the movies, with the exception of solo)
Could you imagine if he AND Rey were the main characters in the whole trilogy for the whole trilogy, that’d be awesome! A stormtrooper that left the first order to become a rebel, and then (this is imaginary) became a Jedi?! And rebuilt the Jedi order along with a scavenger that’s also force sensitive, that would’ve been so cool
Oh well
I actually thought Finn was going to wield a light saber and gain a connection to the force whilst still being a skilled blaster shooter. It'd have been cool as he didn't have a major connection to the jedi directly. He did hold his own against Kylo after all.
Agreed. I was so excited when Finn and Rey were introduced; I felt like both had a ton of potential and were going to be really fun to watch, but then they threw Finn to the side and kept tricking us about what Rey could do and who she was.
Caitlyn Winkler Exactly. I have no clue why they just wasted Finn after TFA. Having a woman as the MAIN main protagonist isn’t a problem at all, I’m fine with that. But you could still have good stories and development for other characters! Especially the character that, if we’re being honest, was kind of marketed as the main character in the first movie! Finn was always seen holding the lightsaber in promotional material, including trailers. To have Rey be the kind of secret real main character in the first movie and then be the real main character moving forward is fine, but to just entirely waste him is just such an unnecessary and stupid thing to do! His arc in TFA was to fantastic and compelling, and the could’ve done some great stuff with him in the future, but no we need ReY pAlPaTiNe.
Oh sorry, this was pretty long.😅
the black guy was a space janitor, but that's still better than a female version of Gary Stu
6:48 that aged like fine wine
You said it -- Best way to solve the Rose problem...have her and Poe switch places. Poe and Finn go off to Canto Bight and have actual scenes together, Rose is the one questioning Laura Dern. Make that loss of her sister a reason why she's important in those scenes. I'm pretty sure no one would dislike her as a character then. Also, why would two male characters having scenes together have to be gay? That would make a lot of past movies very....different.
