@@cantthinkofaname5046 Disney caved to everyone but really, they hate everyone. They’re jealous that George Lucas made an amazing story and now Disney’s destroying it. I see through the cracks.
SPOILERS (obviously) Despite me thinking TROS was a pretty bad movie over all, and that it did retcon Rey’s unimportant parents, I think of all the people to have Rey be related to, Palpatine was probably the best choice... as long as you don’t make a timeline in your head. How old is Sheev!?
Isaiah Davis Apparently 117 years... I think it was great learning something new about him we didn’t already know. He actually did have children. However I don’t think this was done very nicely and out of love... I think he went more about it like Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Seducing (or worse) unwitting women to sire his children to ultimately use them for his own selfish purposes. What exactly this was and how exactly this went about, is a question left for the inevitable Sheev novel to answer...
Ruben Colon oh Kung Fu Panda is a total masterpiece and I adore it but Oogway’s death always kind of cracked me up for some reason and I can’t really place why. Maybe it’s reminiscent of the whole “My job here is done” “But you didn’t do anything” *leaves*
@@ThatsABitPersonal the reason why Oogway had to go was because if he didn't then he would've stopped Tai Lung which would've meant that Shifu never learned from his mistakes and Po would never have become the Dragon Warrior.

Cosmonaut on Palpatine: "he runs the Galaxy and he's this mega powerful old dude, then a half dead cyborg man throws him down a well and he dies." Rise of Skywalker: "Well yes, but actually no."
I actually think more people would have been ok with the disillusioned Luke if we’d ever been given the chance to see Master Luke at some point, even years prior. The one unfortunate thing about the films is that we’ve never gotten to truly see a peak Light side user in action, even in flashback. I understand why narratively with the timeframe each frame takes place in though.
I agree. Relying too much on flashbacks is not necessarily great storytelling, but give us something at least... to me the continuity between the Empire era and this new era is just ... underwhelming. The trajectory of the New Republic, Luke's attempt at rebuilding the Jedi, the rise of Snoke. It seems like a whole lot happened in the intervening years, but somehow we end up with a status quo that is very similar to the Empire era. We wouldn't need much, mind. I personally don't necessarily have to know who Snoke is, just something that tells me the stakes. I want to know what was lost/ can be lost, and what can be regained/must be defended. In a new hope we only really learn that there used to a republic, in a more civilised galaxy, and then a big war in which much was lost. That's pretty much it. However, Obi-wan perfectly embodies the kind of elegance and "magic" that was lost. Same with the Empire. We really don't need to know where the Emperor came from or how the Republic fell, because we can extrapolate from the workings, the aesthetics and representatives of the Empire we see in the films. It's a military dictatorship and that's a concept we recognise. The new movies go for the same kind of stakes, with a new version of a military dictatorship, but it's clearly a watered-down version. It's no longer a galactic empire, its aesthetics have lost their novelty and its representatives seem to be mimicking the characters in a New Hope in almost every way. Nice bit of circular symmetry, but it rather undermines the stakes. Ironically, it's the cantina scene in the Last Jedi where Ryan Johnson tries to reinforce and reframe the stakes of the new movies, showing us corruption and oppression and suggesting there is a different kind of galaxy (more civilised perhaps?) worth fighting for. The reason this feels a bit out of place is not because it's political, but because it's unclear how it fits in the conventional republic vs empire framework. We don't automatically associate the visuals of exploitative capitalism with the Empire (even though it's a fundamental part of imperialism). We probably associate it more with contemporary liberal democracies (which is what the republic is supposed to be). At the very least, the new republic has not been able to do anything about the corruption and oppression we see. Which brings us back to continuity. It would have been great if we got to see version of Luke fighting against oppression (freeing slaves with lightsaber in hand for example), got to see Leia trying to build a better kind of galactic government, before it all went wrong. Crucially, I don't think it should ever have been Snoke that was the reason (even though Leia suggests as much to Han). It's fine if Snoke was only ever a symptom of the kind of potential for evil that exists in all human endeavours, whether it be governments or jedi orders. Again, the point is not that we need to know more about Snoke. The point of getting a glimpse of what went wrong after the Empire's defeat is to help us understand the stakes.
This! I hated last Jedi when it came out, when it was pointed out to me my main complaints were that Luke wasn't behaving like he would have in his 40s... I watched TLJ with "fresh eyes" after that, and liked it much more.
“Rey comes from nothing and turns out to be a great hero... The Force can rise up and grow stronger in anybody, regardless of their bloodline.” Me, after watching TROS: Oh well, so much for that idea.
I was so fucking disappointed when they revealed she was a Palpatine. I would be as disappointed if she was related to anybody else. I just love the idea that she was nobody and the thematic implications that carries. It kind of ruins that by making her a Palpatine.
@General Kenobi I was actually completely on board with the end, but it would have been WAY more impactful if she was still a nobody making her way in the universe.
That description: "You either think it's the best movie since Empire or you think Rian Johnson violated you and murdered your childhood right in front of you"...was perfect.

Definitely. Visuals are but half the battle of film making however. It could be beautiful but if the characters and plot are bad then it overall failed as a film.

Arthur Guilherme I feel you, but Luke ran away because he was scared to make any more mistakes and so nobody could turn out like him, making more mistakes.
@Arthur Guilherme Luke regretted trying to kill Ben. Luke thought that if he would try to help, he would just makes things worse. He tried to get rid of the problem by killing Ben (which he realized was the biggest mistake), and it led to Kylo Ren’s rise, making the galaxy suffer.
Arthur Guilherme ok, so what’s the alternative here, because what else is he supposed to do at the island, cause JJ is the one who made Luke hiding on a rock?
@Arthur Guilherme Yoda told Luke not to rush and yet he did. He paid the price for it by losing his hand. At that time, the consequences aren’t really that huge (since you can get a replacement). Thirty years later, he rushed into ending the Sith or something, and this time, the consequences are huge. He is partially or even mainly the reason why Ben turned to the Dark side. In the end, Yoda teaches him a lesson, to learn from his mistakes and do something about it. He faced Kylo Ren, giving Resistance enough time to escape and to teach Ben a lesson. Kylo Ren was rushing to kill Luke while Luke was patient, learning from his mistake of rushing.
I don’t think so. In TFA he discover the “who to fight for” with Rey and in this movie he discovers the “what to fight for” by going to the casino planet. He now believes he should do the right thing. He makes the decision to sacrifice himself, which is a heroic unselfish decision. But, since it was a fake out we can further explore Fin. But the fact he made that decision was enough to show where he’s at now, it doesn’t matter whether it worked or not.
Not telling Poe the plan was logical since he had already proven he couldn't be trusted to follow orders. Poe should have been pushed out of an airlock after the first scene.
@@inspectorwinship9538 How exactly is not telling the guy who prioritises the safety of the resistance to the point where he defied orders to ensure they wouldn't all be annihilated by a big-fuck-off "fleet-killer" about your entirely reasonable plan to evacuate their guys to not-Hoth which requires him to do literally nothing but sit on board and chill, and instead act really fucking suspicious whilst giving him the impression you're leading everyone to their fiery deaths "logical"?

Not liking this movie is fine and perfectly reasonable. Being a horrible douche about it and sending people death threats isn't. But apparently this is a foreign concept to some people.
Ahmed Best was nearly driven to suicide with death threats and Jake Llyod was bullied into literal insanity. Neither the media or any of you Prequel haters spoke out on their behalf.

Me too , her being a palpatine felt dumb to me because heroes can come from anywhere, they don’t have to be always related to known characters , that part of the heroes journey ( in my opinion) , in the mandelorian, we don’t know who the child is related to and I’m ok with that , same as other people, but people wanted wanted Rey to be related because they wanted an explanation to why Rey is a Mary Sue ( which I don’t believe Rey is a Mary Sue because , the reasons to what she dose are explained in the movies) and now we’re stuck with Rey Palpatine,
I walked out of the movie thinking it was solid and surprising and my friend started screaming about how Rian Johnson personally raped him and murdered his will to live.

@redwill17 Let's put it this way: You tell me, a waiter at your favorite restaurant, to get you your favorite food dish on the menu. I then give it to you, but it is undercooked, raw, is missing ingredients, and I basically toss the plate in front of you. You then complain that it's not a good one, but I then reply to that with "But it's your favorite. Wow, the only ones who love this dish are the ones who hate it and complain about it all the time." People who complain about star wars are fans who want to see GOOD star wars movies. We criticize it because we have high standards of what we like. We don't want crappy movies in which logic and reason is sidelined for spectacle. If I have a favorite movie franchise and it makes a crappy movie, I'll complain because I expected better from a franchise I love.
The lonesome death of Ratts Tyerell, his death scream, and the "BLAURRRRGH" scream of that weird crocodile gleep-glop are in fact the peak of the prequels.

@@thepriorstone4064 So I read that you like rey being nobody and thought you'd like this, it's my perfectly resonable headcannon that palpatine lied to rey about her heritage. He's evil, he lies, he knows how to manipulate people cos he can basically read minds, he knows rey is desperate for family so it's pretty fair to say this is something he would do. That's my theory, I love rey being a nobody, and honestly it kinda makes more sense that shes "all the jedi" if the force chose her to defeat palpatine.
13:17 I hate this argument. This is my only gripe in this video. The Emperor doesn't need an explanation because there is no preceding lore at the point of his introduction. We as an audience can just buy into who and what he is without asking where he came from. In the case of Snoke, there are seven movies worth of stories that preceed his existence. In Return Of The Jedi the Empire is defeated, Darth Vader is dead, The Emperor is dead. The rule of two (siths) was established in The Phantom Menace, so we can safely assume that the sith are dead. And then Snoke shows up. Of course that raises questions, which are entirely valid to have, in my opinion.
Because of the gap of time between ep 6 and ep 7, I can assume Snoke's rise to power was long and complicated. I didn't care to see it. I cared that he seduced Ben to the dark side and that his death furthered Kylo's story.I guess its the time gap that makes me not care. If there was a different emperor in ep 6 than Palpatine, I'd be really confused and want answers. If that makes sense.
I agree. I imagine we'll get some information on Snoke's backstory from Kylo ruminating in the next film, or perhaps he will come back as a sassy force ghost that will exposit on his backstory and torment his killer a bit. However, I do agree, it's not the most satisfying way it could have happened. That being said, I also really appreciate how he was killed off, both for just how shocking a twist it was, but also because we see him be genuinely outwitted by Kylo.
Ye boi. I LOVED the movie, and I completrly disagree on some key points made by people who disliked it (Rey's parents, Luke's "assholiness", Kylo's childish character), but Snoke is as ex-machina as it gets. To make things worse, he is just a typical, no, wait, he is THE typical fantasy villain, who is just overpowered bc writers said so and who just wants to infinitely rule everything for the sake of being EVIL YAAHRR (I mean, Kylo's line at the end where he offers Rey to rule the galaxy together made me bleed from the facepalm, but even that plays into Kylo's character as an infantile wannabe cool guy who hasn't came up with his own view of the world yet). Even tho the new trilogy has GREAT and very original characters (judging by the standards of modern mainstream action cinema, of course). And Snoke is just... Pure dissapointment. Hope the next episode will tell us at least something that will make sense.
Actualy the movie explains a little how the light and dark side of the force need eachother to exist as said by (i think) luke. Luke is strong on the light side and he is training a new order. Being this the case one can asume how snoke darkness came to balance lukes light. The same i think with Ben and Rey
I’m starting to realize that I really need to not read reviews about Star Wars movies anymore. I’m realizing that I have a tendency to change my opinion very easily when presented with someone else’s thoughts on the movie. I liked Last Jedi when I first saw it, but when I saw all the outcry, I slowly started to dislike it, and now I want to like it but just can’t.
I thought it was a mixed bag with some shining moments and some mess ups as well. It wasn't consistently dull, I liked the hyperspace ram from an audio visual perspective as well as the effects. They messed up with the writing though. 6.2/10 Not the worst movie ever but it sure could've been better. PS: Am I the only one who thinks that the Leia Poppins scene couldn't be improved, seriously guys, can you really make her use the force to get her back to her ship without making it look absurd? I think not
Your all obviously a new fan s, and your opinion doesn’t make the movie good. It’s slow and boring and if you like slow and boring movies your opinion doesn’t count. This movie lets you be excited for 2 secs and kills the hype with BS WRITING.Y’all have bad taste buds you 💩 eaters.
Totally. It’s not like the whole movie could’ve ended by simply sending the thousands of TIE fighters TFO had at their disposal to destroy their largest threat.
Saying "don't judge a fantasy for breaking rules, it's about wizards and shit lol" is reductionist. We want it to be internally consistent, to stick to it's OWN rules.
Yeah, sure it hasn't. Like when both sides of the Force have to suddenly balance each other out, when in the Prequels it was established that the Jedi and the Light Side are serenity, so the Sith have to be destroyed due to the fact that the Dark Side feeds on pain and emotion.
Brandon Patterson the true meaning of bringing balance to the Force was never established. In the AOTC novelization it specifically states that even the Jedi themselves aren't entirely sure what it means.
@General Kenobi Rey being Palpatine's daughter actually doesn't explain her other abilities, just why she's so strong in the force. It does makes a lot of sense narratively regarding her connection to Kylo since they're both grandchildren to the OG Sith duo. PLUs, the theme of identity not mattering still applies since Rey realizes that she's not destined to her bloodline, she can choose the one that's been her true family
Just saying... Imagine OT Luke, with only Obi Wan and Yoda as Jedi examples, suddenly finding out what happened in the Prequels. About the rest of the Jedi, how they failed to see the dark rise in front of them, and how they failed his father. And then realizing all you've been teaching your nephew about the force is probably wrong and he, strong with the dark side as his grandfather, could become the next Vader. I would have had a moment of doubt and weakness then, if I were him.
jiin6 It's all implied, but Luke legit calls out how the Jedi Council failed to snuff out Darth Sidious before he grew to destroy the Jedi, because of their hubris and arrogance. It's implied that Luke knows that the Jedi are the architects of their own destruction through the rise of Sidious and Anakin's fall.
EXACTLY! In order to appreciate TLJ, one must appreciate the prequels in how they portrayed the Jedi as arrogant Elitists that failed to see the threat in front of them.
I saw a hilarious edit (taken down by Disney now unfortunately) where they linked the ending of TFA with the beginning of TLJ. The Force theme swells and emotions run high.... then Luke says lol nah and the saga dies
You make a lot of good points, but I extremely disagree with your opinion about Snoke. Yes, we didn't know anything about Palpatine, but we didn't have to. There is an unlimited amount of time before A New Hope, being the 1st movie. From the beginning, all that was important was that Vader was seduced to the dark side by this guy called the emperor who rules the galaxy. But with this new trilogy, it is a sequel to a story we've seen. We have to have some information about what went on between movies. The biggest question is, "How did Snoke rise to power when there was a Republic established?" But by killing him off with no backstory, we now have no world building, and it hurts the story overall, and makes the overall plot of the new trilogy weaker.
Why would knowing how Snoke rose to power change anything? He's a simple big bad guy. He doesn't need to be much more than that. Something like that is something you can cover in a spin-off book or something. Learning about that backstory gets in the way of stuff the main story is about all to serve the purpose of "He's here, and he's powerful." Star Wars movies have never really been "world building" anyways. That's what the Expanded Universe was for. Star Wars has always been a story focused on a small cast of characters dealing with a big problem that concerns them. Learning how Snoke rose to power has nothing to do with the main characters.
Simply put, Plot holes. You can't just say "Everything is good in the galaxy, and the Republic protects everything now" at the end of a trilogy and then start the next trilogy with an instant "Everything is terrible again" and answer the question of how exactly such a thing happened with "UhhhhhhhhhhhhExpandedUniversehhhhhhhhh". Such a thing is definitely important enough to put on the big screen.
Well, an entire rebellion failing after a trilogy-worth of fighting to succeed isn't "something", it's the transition that explains why the main enemy of the film got to be that enemy and why the enemy is a force to be reckoned with. That is a plot hole, as it is a major part of the plot that is missing.
No, a plot hole is something that completely doesn't work in the story. The plot falls through a hole when it does something that contradicts with whatever is going on. With your logic, the original Star Wars had a massive plot hole until Rogue One came along. But Rogue One doesn't "fix" anything. It's just an extra chapter. We didn't need to know how the Death Star plans were received, just like we don't need to know how the New Order rose to power. They probably rose to order because they were a strong army and took over. Maybe they rose to order thanks to a traitor in the Republic. Maybe they rose to order because Snoke found a magic McGuffin that gives him the wish of being an evil emperor but it disappears after being used and everyone forgets about it. Any one of these are possible explanations, but every single one of them leads to the same result. Just because you don't know how doesn't mean it's a plot hole. The "how" is unimportant. It'd be nice to know, but these movies are not and were never supposed to be about "how" the New Order came to power. *Nobody* questioned why the New Order were around when TFA came out, just like nobody questioned why the Empire was around when ANH came out, and nobody questioned why the Jedi Council was around when TPM came out. This is the kind of stuff an "Expanded Universe" is for. Getting some details explained that aren't too important to the main story. I'd like to know why the New Order is around too. But it would be an absolute waste of Episode 7 to base the whole movie on that concept. It's been decades, they formed, and they rose to power. That's all you need to know.

It doesnt mean that he isn't going to resolve them in the third one. They always knew there were going to be three of them so the presentation of events and character development is different. For example Kylo Ren not being a complete bad ass from the beginning.
how do you know he threw away plot elements. Lucasfilm has had a pretty solid idea of the direction that these films would take, in addition to the directors/writers, since before the force awakens began filming. JJ Abrams made his movie with a pretty good idea of what would happen in the plot of the last Jedi.
For the hyperdrive argument, the main reason people are mad is because the implication that someone can actually destroy an entire fleet with one ship is bad writing. Oh look, the second death star is charging up, just send a ship straight at the center in hyperdrive. Oh no, they’re still producing droids on Geonosis? Well, how about a 4 ship hyperdrive party.
I mean, the maneuver is clearly shown to be created by Holdo, and is named after her. I have more of a problem with TROS never using it again and never stating the reason why it can't be used again. It has lead to this becoming divisive so to me, since TROS brought it up and never explained it, it's more of a flaw with that movie and not this one.
@TooSweet353 No, it totally breaks the universe. So many scenes in Star Wars would have been different if hyperspace can be used by kamikazes. Clone Wars space battles would have been quite anticlimactic if droids just hyperspace through fleets and planets.
I gotta admit my eyebrow was raised and my jaw started opening as that scene played out. I was shocked. But it was fucking great. It was surprising and made the force exciting again. We had been getting hints that Leia was force sensitive. Plus she is a skywalker so it's not like it came out of nowhere.
“You’re a mad star wars fan” is not invalid. If anything it’s more valid. Thinking that Luke’s change of character was a good idea is enough to let me know that this guy doesn’t care about star wars. Not even Mark Hamill liked it

@@daoyang223 Well, they really did. And to be honest their attempt at grey morality is much worse than the Imperial Remnant story arc they de-canonized to build the Sequels in the first place. Not only that, but the First Order is by this point so unthreatening and meatheaded in their endeavors that they make Palpatine look like a military genius.
The problem about Luke is not that is flawed: I like that. But do you really believe that the person who did everything to redeem Darth Vader - whom has done incredibly bad things - would kill his nephew for having a thought about the “dark side”? That’s what’s out of character. Re: Rey - it’s not that she’s not related to someone famous, it’s the fact that she’s overpowered for no reason. Anakin is overpowered but is supposedly the “chosen one”, and Luke is the “chosen one’s son”. I’d have been ok with the idea that there’s multiple chose ones (maybe in different civilisation are identified differently) and Rey being connected to that line of chosen ones. However having her being so powerful without struggles (both Anakin and Luke still go through many struggles even if chosen ones) is what made me dislike this.
While I can see your point about Luke Skywalker (and I 100% agree that the movie isn’t perfect) I don’t understand the criticism that he acts out of character because I believe that that’s the point of the movie. You’re never supposed to take what he did and agree with it, you’re supposed to look at his actions as “out of character.” Btw, I agree with your points about Rey, I just wanted to address the argument against Luke.
@@zombiefiedjem5113 I get what you’re saying, but I believe it’s a matter of semantics. When I say “out of character” I mean “looking at all of Luke’s history, the way he acts in this movie does not make sense from a logical perspective”. Of course in the movie it was written to be like this, so within the context of TLJ he’s “in character”. The problem is that TLJ does not consider the OT character development and when you look at Luke over all the 6 films (OT + ST), then TLJ sticks out like a sore thumb. Again, it’s the same reason why I didn’t like Reva as a character: from a logical standpoint of how you would expect someone to act/react, they don’t make sense: Luke does everything to save the second most evil person in the galaxy, but wants to kill his nephew for having remote dreams about following his grandpa footsteps. Reva wants to kill children to raise in the ranks of Inquisitors to kill Vader because he kille children. I honestly can’t see how these motivations can even make sense to the writers…

Poe’s choices in my opinion actually made a lot of sense He decides to fight the dreadnought, and destroy it instead of running away, and he does destroy it getting rid of a powerful cruiser, and thusly weakening the first order, and killing a ton of troops in exchange for only a handful of bombers, and their crew. This decision is a tactical victory that any sane commander would make 10 times out of ten Then he mutinies because the Admiral of the ship is doing nothing but sitting on her hands, and is refusing to tell Poe the second highest ranking officer there. Or anyone else what her plan is while ships are being destroyed. In Poe’s mind Holdo is Either Incompetent, Crazy, or a Traitor trying to get them all killed
I personally disagree with snoke and rey. Rey doesn’t need to be obi wans daughter or Luke’s daughter, but they shouldn’t have just blatantly said that her parents were nothing after hyping them up. And for snoke yes, I agree that we didn’t know anything about palpatine until the prequels, but they shouldn’t relive that same mistake. And the hyperdrive thing was FUCKING AMAZING. But they should’ve used Admrial Akbar instead of whoever the pink haired women was.
Fans hyped Rey's parents up. Disney didn't.. Daisey Ridley said herself it was obvious who her parents were since the first movie, and if you focus on that in TFA, she is right.
Ok, so here's my problem with Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, he goes from saving his Father (one of the most evil men in the Galaxy at the time) despite the fact that characters in the original trilogy tell him it's too late for Vader. Luke never gives up on his Father even after all he has done, yet in The Last Jedi at the slightest sight of darkness in Ben he immediately thinks of killing him instead of just trying to talk to him about it (even though Luke knows this is exactly how Anakin turned to the dark side, by not talking to him about his emotions). I have one last question for you, if you were sleeping in the middle of the night and all of a sudden you wake up to find your Father/Mother standing over you with a Gun aimed directly at you what would your thoughts/actions immediately be? And yes, Luke said the thought passed like a shadow, but why did he even allow himself to get that close to killing Ben before he properly thought about it? Plus Ben wouldn't of known what Luke was thinking...
He bet the entire battle and fate of the galaxy on there being some good or light within his incredibly evil father, so, yes, it just doesn't make sense why he would not try to be somewhat loving, kind, or considerate to his obviously morally conflicted nephew. It doesn't make any sense to me.
@@Sword_Man_YT I think he was trying to be a classic Jedi. When i say a classic Jedi, i mean he tried to follow the way of order before the republic became the empire. Emotionless, with no needs and cravings. I think that in an attempt to become that classic type of Jedi, he fucked up, and then realised the errors of the old order. After instictivly raising his saber, as a fleeting thought, he understood that that way of thinking is wrong, that the action he was taking is wrong, that the way the Jedi try to purge evil at any chance they get, is wrong. I see it like that. Luke, in an attempt to meet the expactations everybody else(who considered him a legend) set on him, he tried to become a Jedi like the ones of old, who would for example, ignore their padawans if they had bad thoughts by pretty much telling them to just "forget about it, you don't need that, that leads to the dark side, forget about it" or just straight up killing someone as soon as they fall to the Dark side. Luke stopped in his tracks as soon as he ignited his saber because he realised he was making a mistake. And after that mistake cost him his nephew, his students and everything he was attempting to build, he realised all the flaws of the Jedi of old, and that is what made him change his stance on the Jedi. A small headcannon i have. You can also say that he acted rash and without thinking, something that Luke would do but yeah
George Sakelis The thing is though I don't really see Luke doing that after he realized the big mistakes the Jedi made in their old ways. Plus Luke isn't the type of person to just want to murder a kid because he sees the slightest bit of evil in him, he wouldn't even think about it.
@@Sword_Man_YT It is implied that Snoke has been influencing him for a while now. To me it makes sense, i don't see it as something old Luke wouldn't do
Because the god damned hyperspeed ramming is incredibly overpowered and should have been the only thing ever used in combat, Star destroyers, the death star and starkiller base are completely useless compared to it and the whole star wars universe begins to fall apart. Why build the death star when you could just launch ships of even rocks/asteroids at planets AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Everything's meaningfulness just completely falls apart when compared to such a feet that even the most bog-standard ships are now capable of. It also shits all over the old cannon, where hyperspace is a sort of different dimension through which one can travel at a much faster rate compared to their own. Its just an example of Disney fucking previously accepted star wars logic for a cool scene with flashy special effects.
DreamBigPig I think it's not that simple. The ships start moving at lightspeed before they make the jump to hyperspace, so they are still moving through physical space before they warp into the other dimension. It would probably cost a lot of money/resources and lives, as well as be incredibly difficult to aim, if they were to use vessels with hyperspace drives as projectile weapons on a regular basis. Does that help?
Donny Lurch Ssh let people mindlessly hate on a economically infeasible form of attack that was used in desperation because *gasp* there was no other choice
Mark Hamill has stated he was upset in the way Luke is portrayed in TLJ and made his feelings known to Rian Johnson. Mark knew this would cause some controversy and he was right.
Mark Hamill also said in the same interview that he was entirely willing to be proven wrong/change his mind about the direction Rian took his character. Mark was similarly weary about Luke's portrayal in TFW, but now loves how it turned out.
He didn't say he was upset about the portrayal but that he dissagreed with the direction, he even said that after he let rian johnson know that he disargreed he then told the director that since he got it off his chest he will portray the character as asked. He recognized and accepted that he had no control, he vented and then moved on.
Cheeseycurve 54, in cinema, they're not entirely different. Some of the best 'writing' for many characters was never actually written. For example; YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. That was the actor, not the writer. "Here's looking at you, kid". Came from the actor off-stage. "Heeeeeeere's Johnny" is another improv from the actor. Same with "You talkin' to me?". Indiana Jones shooting the Swordsman was also Harrison Ford's suggestion. Originally he was going to actually fight with him. The final lines of Roy in Blade Runner were also improvised. Hannibal's hissing in Silence of the Lambs was improvised. The Joker clapping slowly and menacingly during Gordon's promotion in The Dark Knight Rises was also improvised. As was his pause while walking away from the hospital before it explodes. "Game over man" in Aliens was also ad libbed. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Writers aren't the be-all-end-all of characters, and quite often the actors know the characters better than the writers. This is because actors have to get to intimately know the characters they portray, in order to actually portray them. Its hard to act as someone you don't understand, so they understand them. Writers often briefly think of the characters sporadically during writing. This isn't to say they don't think about the characters, but they've got to consider all the other characters as well, and the scenes the director wants in the movie, and the themes, and the plot as a whole, and a million other things. For Hamil, who has lived knowing Luke Skywalker for many decades, and was told who the character is by his creator - George Lucas - I trust his judgement of who the character is far more than I trust a new writer brought on to write a movie that decides to change Luke's character to better fit the themes he wants in his movie. And Hamil was right. Johnson fundamentally didn't understand, or didn't care for, Luke's character. He had a different story he wanted to tell. Unfortunately for him, a lot of fans DO care about Luke's character, and DON'T care about what Johnson was trying to do with the movie. You picked Star Wars, you do Star Wars. Do the reinventing with a new IP and/or character.
What? A review that doesn’t outright hate on the movie but also acknowledges its flaws? In the words of Luke Skywalker, “That’s impossible!” Well done @cosmonaut, enjoyed the video
Nah, it's nothing special. I thought it was okay too. But his "bad points" are shit, like Poe being a moron, considering the movie literally proves him right later on. Agree with the Luke thing, though.
He is, but he was still right. The Casino crysis could've (maybe) been averted if the purple haired bitch told him the plan. Hell, he is literally proven right when the order starts shooting the escaping ships. At least the bitch died. He was an idiot, but I rooted for him more than Leia and whatever-her-name-was.
True, admiral Holdup was an incredibly stupid character, and she should have just told everyone her plan. But I still wish Poe had died in the beginning of TFA, as it would have made Finn's story more interesting. He would have had to shoulder the responsibility of Poe's mission, and therefore a cause he knew nothing about, but felt obligated to honor Poe's sacrifice. If this had been a theme in TFA, Finn attempting to finish Poe's mission and avenge the guy who saved him, I would have enjoyed it much more.
The more time passes, the more I apreciate Ryan Johnson's boldness in grabbing Star Wars and trying to do something new and free the next generation from the past heroes. You can't move a franchise forward only telling the stories from past heroes
The plot he came up with horrible and destroyed every plot point from TFA. You can't say that's "freeing the next generation" when you destroy Luke Skywalker and troll the audience for being invested in the story with useless plot twists that make no sense
@@proaaron578 In that case let's say that failure is the greatest teacher. Even the greatest masters can fail, and learn from it. I'm sure I've got this message from a movie.
Too bad you can do so without taking a dump on past heroes, aspect which Ryan Johnson didn't bother to take into account. Mandalorian and Andor showcased Star Wars could go elsewhere, without being insulting mess which is The Last Jedi.
@@radiant3921Yeah they definitely couldn’t have used the time they had spent making Luke out to be Ebenezer Scrooge for something like character development for a villain that could be remembered no no no no that’s ridiculous run every hero we’ve known into the ground and dumb some dirt on it too. Let’s kill off the one main antagonist we had so that the next director can just scramble and ruin everything right
I was SO glad when it was revealed Rey's parents were nobody drunkards. I got into an argument with my dentist about how not every character needs to be of some sort of noble lineage to be important. Probably not the best person to upset though.
I didn't like it not cause she wasn't special but because it felt like a plot point purely made up to fuck with our expectations. It didn't feel natural and felt like it was just there to throw the audience a curve ball and fuck with fan theories
Jkla Alkj you think in college sports, they find the guy's parents who no one has ever heard of? No. People wanna here the starting quarterbacks parents get interviewed, if she wasn't so all powerful her lineage wouldn't matter at all. Anakin was trained by the best, luke was trained by the best, and she has never been trained once.
Seeing as this "reveal" came right when Kylo was trying to convince Rey to join him, I find it sketchy at best. It seems like classic emotional manipulation, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next movie reveals that Kylo has no idea who her parents were (or are). Personally, I want Rey to have some relation to a past character, but I realize that would undercut the idea of force sensitivity being much greater than some simple hereditary trait MisterMercy i think you're on to something. It seems like too many plot points were made to subvert our expectations or at least keep the audience guessing at the truth.
I find it sad that all of the things he praises The Last Jedi for not doing, get done by Rise Of Skywalker For example “Rey doesn’t have to be related to anyone important or anyone you know” *Rey is related to [IMPORTANT CHARACTER THAT EVERYONE KNOWS] as revealed in ROS*
Marcus was actually right. I feel like after Rise of Skywalker, people have realised they're hatred for this movie went way too far to the point where Disney literally made a sequel to piss off the least amount of fans and now people accept it as alright. (I hope I'm right)
I think you are correct. And it's sad because TROS could have simultaneously been really huge with all the lines that 7 and 8 set up. But in an effort to piss off the least amount of people, they made it profoundly mediocre, and IMO, the worst (I still liked it, mind you!) film of the saga.
No, the reason why rise of skywalker is the way it is. Is because tlj cuts down basically any plot lines and ruins most characters. This is why "somehow palpatine has returned" with absolutely 0 build up
@@notdot8742 It’s TROS’s fault. I love TLJ and seeing the plot threads of this film get erased because some people got mad is a coward move. Rey should have been a nobody. Luke’s arc was compelling. Luke’s death was perfect, and Palpatine should have never shown up in this trilogy.
Alright I gotta address the whole "Luke Skywalker was actually in character because he isn't perfect" excuse for his portrayal. What is the point of a character arc? A character arc is something that's meant for the character to go through and learn from, a series of events that turns them into who they become as a person. The kinds of lessons that once they learned them, it comes back in future situations and shows how much they'd grown from their experiences. To have a character repeat the SAME arc over and over and over again (like you complained about with Finn) essentially makes what they did prior pointless, as if they didn't learn anything from it and doesn't move the character forward. So using that logic, how can you defend Luke's portrayal in this movie? Let's go with some things established from Luke.. NOT TO DO WITH THE BOOKS(which I think was a wrong opinion). People didn't want "Book Luke" they wanted Luke Skywalker. Let's go over what Luke Skywalker accomplished in the MOVIES... He had the 2nd most evil guy in the galaxy(his father) which he felt could be redeemed despite years and years and decades on The Dark Side. In the face of the EMPEROR with his friends on a planet, and the galaxy on the brink, he was still willing to risk all of that to save his father and redeem him. The trilogy ALREADY established that Luke wasn't perfect(all of Empire Strikes Back), but that was a part of his growth as a character, even in Return of the Jedi, Luke tried to kill the Emperor before Vader intervened. But the entire point was Luke after downing Vader came to the realization about something when he looked at Vader's hand and his own. He realized what those decisions could lead him down, finally learning his lessons, he threw away his Lightsaber and refused to fall. Finally learning what he was meant to learn to truly become a Jedi. That is what makes the line "You've failed. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." mean so much. And PALPATINE who has manipulated EVERYONE and is always willing to play the long game, realizes that Luke was incorruptible because of the lessons he'd learned and finally understood. This is why the Emperor then decided it was best to kill him. BUT in the end, Luke was REWARDED for his faith in his father and his faith in his father's redemption because Vader did indeed turn from The Darkside and threw Emperor Palpatine down a shaft. Luke Skywalker won over Vader from the man whom had been manipulating him since he was a child and kept him on the dark side for years. THAT kind of "Reward" for your faith and your lessons learned is a VERY BIG REASON why people hate Luke's 'arc' in The Last Jedi. Because someone who went through all of that and learned those lessons and arc and WAS REWARDED FOR THEM across and at the conclusion of the previous trilogy from a storywriting standpoint is NOT going to then go and have a "fleeting thought" to kill his nephew because he felt darkness in him... Now had Luke FAILED to redeem Vader, it would be more understandable, because you could argue that Luke was afraid of 'failing' again and was contemplating not trying this time because he failed before. BUT that was not the case... Luke SUCCEEDED and he was rewarded for his decision. Because Luke succeeded there is NO REASON narrative wise that he would even have a fleeting thought of killing his OWN NEPHEW when he was the same person that had redeemed Vader who had been taken by the Emperor and was Dark side for DECADES before Luke came around. So no, Luke having a 'fleeting moment' was not "Oh it means he isn't perfect, which is great!" it's bad storytelling and intentionally ignoring everything that came before it and the story arcs of the previous characters, and written as if the person that directed this movie never watched the previous Star Wars films and went into fanfiction mode. And now that Daisy Ridley has revealed that JJ did in fact leave an outline for Episodes 8 and 9 that Rian Johnson just ignored, it makes Rian Johnson look worse as he tried to throw JJ under the bus by trying to excuse his crap execution in The Last Jedi by trying to say there wasn't an outline for future episodes after TFA. Which makes Rian Johnson looks like a pretentious lying [expletive] now who couldn't deal with the fact people had problems with his films and saw through his attempts to be 'smarter than everyone else in the room' but wound up screwing things up worse. So no, Luke's arc isn't "good" because it proves Luke isn't perfect, it was established through 3 previous films that Luke wasn't perfect, but when HE LEARNED and made his final decision on Vader and against The Emperor that was his arc, that was his crowning moment, that's what defined him as a character.. To out and out ignore that and try to say "oh it's just to prove Luke isn't perfect" no.. it's a betrayal to Luke's character and the arcs he already went through and just lazy writing by someone that needed a conflict so he wrote Luke Skywalker out of character in order to create one. And writing an ESTABLISHED character, out of character just so you can make a certain conflict happen is the kind of things you see in bad fan fiction. Which is precisely what The Last Jedi is imo.
carrastealth remember that scene in episode 6 where Luke loses his cool and just went ballistic on Vader out of rage? Yeah he totally seems perfect. That scene was to show that Luke is human and in TLJ it's also there to remind us of that. Every fan probably wanted luke to cut down stormtroopers and fight the entire first order by himself or some dumb shit but in reality his character just wants to die because of all the pressure. It's natural for a human to feel this way regardless of how much he or she has gone through in the past because people change sometimes for the worst and that's what the Last Jedi is showing us. Imo it's realistic and natural. But in the end Luke learns that even though he can't really do all that shit that the fans want him to he at least tries at the end. He gives kylo the benefit of "killing" him but that was to show the world how much of a monster kylo is and to try and apologize for all that he's done And even though Mark Hamill disagreed with the way his character was written he ended up loving the message and saying that everyone did an amazing job with the film and now he probably doesn't even mind that much that his character wasn't this powerful god that can magically solve the worlds problems (why is that?) Oh yeah...because he's a human with emotions and feelings
That entire diatribe you wrote was already addressed in my comment ;) "But the entire point was Luke after downing Vader came to the realization about something when he looked at Vader's hand and his own.

"
carrastealth Yeah, people learn from their experiences, but Luke didn’t just sense darkness in Kylo, he saw a vision of him murdering the people he cared about “Snoke had already turned his heart, He would bring destruction, and pain, and death and the end of everything I loved because of what he will become. And for the briefest moment of PURE INSTINCT I thought I could stop it, it passed like a fleeting shadow.” What happens is COMPLETELY true to Luke’s character! Just take return of the Jedi for example, the entire movie Luke believes that he can turn Vader and that there is still good in him. Just the fact that Vader says he will turn Leia to the dark side makes Luke go off and chop off Vader’s hand in a fit of rage, now picture Luke looking into Ben’s head, he literally SAW him kill people he cared about (you can hear the sound of lightsabers and screams), now if any normal person were to see that, Ben would have been lunch meat. But Luke knows that killing him isn’t the right thing to do because he learned that and is ashamed of himself right after activating his lightsaber, unfortunately for Luke Ben had already woken up and the damage had been done. What you’re saying is that Luke shouldn’t have even thought about killing Ben because he had learned that that isn’t right, which is REALLY reaching and making it sound like Luke can’t make human mistakes and have moments of weakness like this one. To say he wouldn’t actually do something is one thing, but to say that he wouldn’t EVEN think about doing something is another. Luke was obviously emotionally unstable after looking inside of Ben (there were tears in his eyes) it would make perfect sense for him to feel contempt and anger and vengeance after seeing what Ben would do, those are very powerful emotions and can make even the best of us make the worst mistakes. Luke didn’t even go through with the act and just considered it for a second, comparing Luke’s reaction to when Vader just threatened to do something, and Luke’s reaction when he saw horrible things happen to the people he loved, I think it’s pretty loyal to his character and at the same time shows that he learned that isn’t the right way to go about the situation. It’s a VERY human thing to be overtaken by thoughts of wanting revenge after witnessing the things Luke witnessed. Luke isn’t perfect and isn’t protected from vengeful and hateful thoughts.
@@pleasesubscribetomynewyout5330 The fact she is Palpatine's *granddaughter* (as I'm pretty sure you meant) would be abysmal in any way it could have been carried out.
In The Force Awakens, Finn developed a friendship with Rey, giving him someone to fight for, he explicitly states that he only went to the Starkiller base to save Rey. In The Last Jedi, Finn initially only cares for Rey, he never promised any alliance to the Resistance, so he's trying to save his friend, going as far from the conflict as he can. His journey with Rose, gave him a cause to fight for, because he realized that the First Order was still harming people the way they harmed him and Rose, he saw that he could make a difference.
Wow a third of the movie that was completely unnecessary for the movies. Would've made a fine comic book. Was an absolute shit plot for the mainline series. Why? It has nothing to do with nor any bearing on the overarching trilogy. The last jedi just ignored what a sequel in a trilogy is. Does Finn have the force? Ignore it. Who are the knights of Ren? Who cares i guess. Who is Snoke/who trained him? Oh dead now. Johnson would make a great star wars side movie like rogue one, but instead made the worst sequel possible. This is just a star wars side story sold to fans as a main, essential story. Maybe 30 minutes or so was necessary for the trilogy and the rest was star wars comic material.
@Alex Sandoval so the first of the trilogy is supposed to canonize/ shed light on the plot set up in the second? How does that make sense? The major issue with the last jedi is it tried to do its own thing as the sequel in a trilogy.
Adrien Taylor wow didn't even see that schpeel from before. Look you obviously loved the horse scene but myself and nearly everyone ive spoke to in defense of and against the last jedi agrees it was filler story and bad. "Wasted Finn" is the exact line that comes to mind. I guess you forgot that Johnson is the one who implied finn still didn't care about anyone but rey. Meaning he created an unnecessary, nearly repetitive story arc for Finn. How is that good? Everything but rey and luke, luke and kylo, or kylo and rey scenes were necessary for the overarching trilogy. Great 45 minutes scattered about the film. Everything else was a star wars comic and a forgettable one at that. Sets poe and finn up to be resistance leaders? A)That is a star wars comic if ive ever heard one and B)What sane individual would trust poe after the last jedi? Two words irrational and suicidal. Who's dumb enough to follow that guy? Let me ask you; how was the force awakens iyo?
@@ludacrisisjakes6672 finn wasn't wasted. story could have been better but he wasn't wasted and story served it's purpose. they rode the horses for barely a minute, stop nitpicking. it's not johnson who established finn cares only about rey, finn himself says that in TFA. he is with resistance to rescue rey. what do you want finn and poe to do? blow up stuff here and there? or fetch some random artifacts/items/plot devices and meet random people at random places like in TRoS? leia was dumb enough to follow poe incase you missed the ending.
@@Bothandle70 everything with finn's plot was wasted and i mean everything from the benicio del toro stuff to learning about the rich funding both sides. All of this was bad unnecessary plot. Additionally at the end of the force awakens finn is with the resistance while rey pursues the search for luke. His character arc for the first film was him learning to fight for something or someone other than himself. Sounds like the exact same arc in the last jedi. Finn only says that in the force awakens before the climax and before his showdown with kylo or the death of han solo and not a word since. Him picking up the lightsaber to defend rey was supposed to signify that turning point where he would rather fight to protect what he cares about than flee and survive. After the escape hes clearly shown with the resistance in full. I guess you must have forgotten the character developed in the first film. And finally yes a fetch quest story while maybe boring or stale had bearing on the plot unlike finn's story in the last jedi. People really liked this hot garbage so you're not alone i guess. This isn't nitpicking. This is me point after point explaining why this movie is hated.
luke in episode 6, "I can't kill my father who is a mass murderer/dictator and is directly responsible for thousands, if not millions of deaths. I will sacrifice myself and face the emperor just for the miniscule chance to save him." Luke in episode 8, "My nephew had a bad dream? Better kill him."
Luke in Episode 6 - almost gives in to the dark side completely after Vader threatens his sister, physically overwhelming him and chopping his hand off, and very nearly killing him. Luke in Episode 8 - has a fleeting moment of fear that causes him to ignite his saber, then immediately stops himself and regrets it immensely. Gee, *it's almost as if Luke, despite growing and learning to better control his emotions by Episode 8, isn't perfect* or godly the way some people demand ...
"them being even alive immediately invalidates most of what makes and the original trilogy special at all." - This is what you said about the end of Star Wars Rebels and the fact that most of the main cast is still alive. IMO really felt that this is applicable to when you dismiss the people who feel the Hyperdrive Kamikaze run in Last Jedi was dumb. The very fact that they made it possible and show that it is possible means that if ever we have a conflict where anyone is pushed against a wall, the audience is most definitely going to think, "Well you're gonna die anyway, why not just hyperdrive smash the enemy and potentially save everyone else?"
@Hyunjay Cho the point isnt to become the new empire, but to bring freedom to the galaxy. if they made a weapon with greater ability then the death star then they get put on a worse level then the goddamn sith.
@Hyunjay Cho well a hyperdrive weapon could easily vaporize planets with enough mass and speed. It's going at speeds close to the speed of light, so any impact is going to be massive and ,at the very least, wipe out a good chunk of any earth like planet out there. At the other end of the spectrum, they launch enough mass at a planet, and the planet will either be completely obliterated, or the debris will block out any light for decades, killing everyone anyway.
@RATCHOON they didn't destroy the moon though. Only The malevolence was destroyed. And they didn't do it on purpose or anything either, anakin sabotaged the ship.
Not even that, just hyperspace torpedoes. Just make a hyperspace torpedo, done, you've killed capital ships in Star Wars, you've ended the concept of Star Destroyers and SSDs and super weapons and everything big in Star Wars, you've killed the entire military conception of such things because one shot with a chunk of metal strapped to a hyperdrive will kill it.
So glad to see a Star Wars fan that is able to both praise and criticize TLJ! So many fans are so one sided in their opinion that they either love it or despise it, and it’s nice to see a fair analysis of the movie that doesn’t “take sides”
Here’s the thing the movie just ist that great in anyway we have a moment where a character is about to make a heroic sacrifice and what happens it’s taken away because fuck it. I wish I liked the movie I really fucking so I have never managed to dislike a Star Wars film but somehow it was mad possible.
It’s like this movie is good enough not to be bad, but bad enough not to be good. Leaving it in this weird area between the quality of the originals and prequels
I disagree with your opinion about The Last Jedi being better than the Prequel Trilogy. But I can agree that it was a Ok movie, I still have a high regard of the prequels ( I enjoyed at least) I really don't like The Last Jedi but I can see why some SW fans and non fans liked (Rebels vs Empire thematic, fast action sequences, puppet Yoda, "let the past die" dilemma, etc)
I said it once ill say it again. The last jedi was a star wars side story masquerading as a main series story. It would have been beloved if it was not also a bridge between two films. Because it is the second film in the trilogy though, it is just bad. Messy plot that also messes the plot of the previous film but also tarnishes the future of the trilogy that film set up. It also stole the trilogy ending with Luke's sacrifice at least according to George Lucas and Abrams. Does it really surprise anyone that fans hate it so much? It is a bad movie as part of an overarching trilogy.
@@Ali-vr2dj I'm not even a star wars fan, this is the only star wars movie I have seen. My question is this: why the fuck should I respect opinions? I respect people who earned respect, not fucking opinions.
Michael Ferrigno I feel like you’re right, but as I wrote that out I remembered the Jedi nuns and ray desotrying everything, and most of the things bb8 did like the coin attack and piloting the walker even tho they had purpose I guess it was still funny
The quips were a bit much. I loved the visual jokes much more as those were easier ways to ease the tension naturally. However, the dialogue jokes this time around oddly enough felt far more natural than it did in TFA.
He didn’t complain about the rules of the flying lightsabers he just said it looked fucking stupid (which it does) The Hyperdrive scenes in this movie looked amazing.
Tiffany Hill yeah but the hyperdrive scene was explained in a book. While the inquisitors is just fucking dumb. You can not look at scenes with that and say it’s fine
"Poe is a ****ing idiot in this movie..." For... Wanting to take out the ship that would have crushed them, and then wanting to know the Captain's plan, and after receiving no answer, stages a mutiny to save the crew? I mean, it's your opinion...
holdo din t do much to improve the situation. I know hehad to get turned down but Holdo was being sketchy as shit......hell one of the themes must be stupid lack of communication.
Not to mention, the almighty plan she had hidden in her back pocket from HER OWN CREW for no reason straight up failed. She was supposed to be smarter than Poe to show what he could learn from respecting the chain of command and not just going off and doing his own thing, but then her plan gets most of the resistance wiped out anyways.
Spencer Cox Yes Poe is an idiot and he makes dumb decisions and continuously fails. However Holdo was also an idiot. He makes a point to say that as well. Let’s be honest, the movie itself was stupid, but at the same time it was awesome. Pretty much that’s all Star Wars is a stupid yet awesome franchise.
If by "failed", you mean the cloaked Resistance ships being caught, then you may have forgotten that DJ pointed out the Resistance escape because he overheard POE tell Finn and Rose about Holdo's plan a little earlier.
The thing about the Poe-Holdo conflict is that neither side is completely blameless (Poe is rash and sees himself as the only sane man, responsible for the future of the whole Resistance, while Holdo distances herself from the whole crew, believing that her soldiers should sit quietly, follow her orders and not ask any questions), but for some reason the film portrays Holdo as the one in the right, while Poe is written as the only one at fault to invoke the "hot-headed young man doesn't listen to his elders and messes up" trope, together with the modern feminist outcry that "women are wiser" and men don't listen to them enough. Poe gets a scolding from two female authority figures who see his actions as horrible, but hey, Holdo and Leia are so amazing, loving, #flawless and progressive that they will give him a second chance despite his many flaws. And Holdo gets a heroic send off despite her idiocy and lack of responsibility as a leader. Just read the description of her home planet on Wookieepedia.
"Every Star Wars Movie sucks" Thank you. I love you. I also love star wars, but realized after this movie that every single episode has major flaws, but most people are too busy glorifying the OT to realize this.
Yeah, every star wars movie has flaws. But if the strory is interesting enough those minor problems can be bypassed easily. However, the sequel movies failed to create an original, interesting story and when this happens, people will more likely ro complain about smaller problems.
"basically this is the kind of series where you really need to just accept the dumb stuff and enjoy the stuff that you like" No. This movie had far more "dumb stuff" and far less stuff I liked than any other Star Wars movie. For me, it is in last place... by a very wide margin.
I think the hyperdrive seen was really pretty and conceptual HOWEVER, the reason people don’t like this is because at that rate every space battle would end with the side that had more ships hyperdriving into shit. Like the droids would have won they could just fly at all be Jedi and clone ships.
1) Empire Strikes Back - What a surprise. To be fair, it's not perfect, but it's certainly the best at what I love in this series. Developing characters, cool locations, even some unforseen twists. Intro of Yoda, Hoth battle, the last fight between Luke and Vader. It's perfectly paced, visually enticing and a well driven character pieces. A really good and enjoyable piece of cinema. 2) New Hope - Although it seems a little bit like it's wobbling on its feet at times, it's just a really fun story with some 'feel-good' elements sprinkled throughout. It just feels adventurous and fun and the entire thing just looks so happily made. I just can't stop smiling in this film. 3) Last Jedi - I can acknowledge there's a lot of bad stuff in this film. Casino World should be entirely scrapped. But I like the themes it pushed and how it went about exploring them. Condensing the story and focusing solely on Kylo and Rey is a very wise decision in my opinion, and makes it a bit more character driven. Some flaws, but a good time for me. 4) Force Awakens - Is it a rehash of New Hope? Largely yes. But I actually still really enjoy Rey and Finn, I like Kylo a lot, I like how it's a very strong harkening to those original movies. It's a very safe move but unlike Rogue One I actually feel really invested in those new characters. I also saw it like 7 times in cinemas, so I must have found something about it good! 5) Revenge of the Sith - Easily the best prequel and the best acted. Is it perfect? HELL NO. But it's got some things I actually really like. Ewan McGregor at his best, the fall of the Jedi and some surprisingly well acted scenes and, in my opinion, good conflict and plot. Gotta give it credit where it's due. It got me interested. 6) Return of the Jedi - Return of the Jedi isn't bad, not at all, but it's lacking a lot of power in those early acts. Act 3 is where it gets good but it takes quite some time to make it. The first act of the story is WAAAAAY too slow for me though it's good once it gets going. 7) Rogue One - DUN DUN DUN. Yep. I don't like Rogue One that much. I think it treads a lot of already trodden ground and not in a very interesting way. Bland characters, bland plot and bland ideas. No connection, no emotion. Last act is cool but I'm not invested. 8) Phantom Menace - It's not God awful but Lord is it boring. It feels so emotionless so much of the time, so bland, and it hardly ever seems to try and wake itself up until the Maul fight. 9) Attack of the Clones - What a masterclass in awful writing, awful plot and almost entirely wooden acting with rare exceptions. Just awful.
I'd probably personally put TFA above TLJ by just a tiny bit, but that may be because they correctly manipulated my nostalgia feels. Actually probably the same reason A New Hope is equal 1st for me, because holy shit that's the one I rewatched as a kid over and over and over. But yeah, mostly agree with these assessments, especially with the bottom two :P Anyone who says TLJ is the worst star wars films needs a serious sit down and talking to. If nothing else, the set designs and cinematography were on fucking point, where as PM and AofC don't even have that going for them thanks to perma green screens.
Call me a monster, but I would personally move A New Hope beneath The Last Jedi. I love the new take on a Star Wars narrative, and A New Hope, to me, feels like a really cliché story, even though the movie came out before there was a cliché.
A New Hope is honestly a bit tedious to watch these days, especially the first half. Perhaps I've seen it too many times? But Empire never fails to keep me gripped.
With luke it's not that he's out of character from the EU books, it's the fact that he's out of character from what he was like the original trilogy. In the original trilogy, luke looked at Vader, The man who killed his mentor, tortured his friends, responsible for the deaths of countless people and chopped off the had of his own son. Someone he had hardly any interaction with other than through combat and luke decided "yes. Yes I can redeem him. I sense some good in him, I can save him" And we are expected to believe that this very same man attempted to kill kylo, his own nephew, the son of not only his twin sister but also his best friend..... All because he sensed the potential of darkness in him? Can you see the problem now?
Not really. The amount of Darkness within Kylo fell completely outside of Luke's expectations. He tried to help Kylo, using everything he knew and nothing worked. Kylo just kept getting worse. After Vader, Luke believed he could save anyone, but when faced with failure, after failure, after failure only to finally look into Kylo's mind and see that his darkness was far greater than anything Luke had ever sensed before, it only makes sense that Luke would begin to doubt his abilities. He was forced to reevaluate his beliefs and confront the unsettling possibility that maybe this was someone he just couldn't save.
The fact that Kylo managed to subdue Luke when he was in fear for his life more than shows how dangerous he could be. Luke was a Jedi master and was overpowered by a Padawan. Now imagine if Kylo could take the power he used in desperation and draw upon it at will. He'd be a serious force to be reckoned with.
You forget that Luke also TRIED TO KILL Vader in that same movie you talk about for saying he'll try to turn Leia to the dark side. He almost does too until he sees Vader's cybernetic hand and looks at his own, realizing he's already close to becoming his father. In the Last Jedi, Luke looked into Ben's mind and saw that Snoke had already turned him and could possibly tear down everything he had built in the last 20 years or so. And for just a moment he thinks about ending it all right then and there by killing his nephew in cold blood while he sleeps. A moment that passes quickly when he realizes how shameful that'll be and he regrets even thinking about it. If anything this showed Luke's development and wisdom through the years. It was just unfortunate that Ben had woken up and his fear took over.
All I'm saying is why couldn't Admiral Ackbar be the one in the hyperspace scene. Just imagine him looking at the First Order ships and whispering "I AM the trap"
admiral ackbar got less than three minutes of screentime in the OT. he was a gag character whose physical design is too restrictive to emote strongly enough for such a serious scene.

I think it was great learning something new about him we didn’t already know. He actually did have children. However I don’t think this was done very nicely and out of love...

What exactly this was and how exactly this went about, is a question left for the inevitable Sheev novel to answer...
I know Luke’s death was super moving, but I almost laughed because it reminded me of Oogway disintegrating into cherry blossoms from Kung Fu Panda

I actually think more people would have been ok with the disillusioned Luke if we’d ever been given the chance to see Master Luke at some point, even years prior. The one unfortunate thing about the films is that we’ve never gotten to truly see a peak Light side user in action, even in flashback. I understand why narratively with the timeframe each frame takes place in though.
I agree. Relying too much on flashbacks is not necessarily great storytelling, but give us something at least... to me the continuity between the Empire era and this new era is just ... underwhelming. The trajectory of the New Republic, Luke's attempt at rebuilding the Jedi, the rise of Snoke. It seems like a whole lot happened in the intervening years, but somehow we end up with a status quo that is very similar to the Empire era.
We wouldn't need much, mind. I personally don't necessarily have to know who Snoke is, just something that tells me the stakes. I want to know what was lost/ can be lost, and what can be regained/must be defended.
In a new hope we only really learn that there used to a republic, in a more civilised galaxy, and then a big war in which much was lost. That's pretty much it. However, Obi-wan perfectly embodies the kind of elegance and "magic" that was lost. Same with the Empire. We really don't need to know where the Emperor came from or how the Republic fell, because we can extrapolate from the workings, the aesthetics and representatives of the Empire we see in the films. It's a military dictatorship and that's a concept we recognise.
The new movies go for the same kind of stakes, with a new version of a military dictatorship, but it's clearly a watered-down version. It's no longer a galactic empire, its aesthetics have lost their novelty and its representatives seem to be mimicking the characters in a New Hope in almost every way. Nice bit of circular symmetry, but it rather undermines the stakes.
Ironically, it's the cantina scene in the Last Jedi where Ryan Johnson tries to reinforce and reframe the stakes of the new movies, showing us corruption and oppression and suggesting there is a different kind of galaxy (more civilised perhaps?) worth fighting for. The reason this feels a bit out of place is not because it's political, but because it's unclear how it fits in the conventional republic vs empire framework. We don't automatically associate the visuals of exploitative capitalism with the Empire (even though it's a fundamental part of imperialism). We probably associate it more with contemporary liberal democracies (which is what the republic is supposed to be). At the very least, the new republic has not been able to do anything about the corruption and oppression we see. Which brings us back to continuity.
It would have been great if we got to see version of Luke fighting against oppression (freeing slaves with lightsaber in hand for example), got to see Leia trying to build a better kind of galactic government, before it all went wrong. Crucially, I don't think it should ever have been Snoke that was the reason (even though Leia suggests as much to Han). It's fine if Snoke was only ever a symptom of the kind of potential for evil that exists in all human endeavours, whether it be governments or jedi orders. Again, the point is not that we need to know more about Snoke. The point of getting a glimpse of what went wrong after the Empire's defeat is to help us understand the stakes.
This! I hated last Jedi when it came out, when it was pointed out to me my main complaints were that Luke wasn't behaving like he would have in his 40s... I watched TLJ with "fresh eyes" after that, and liked it much more.

If Luke didn’t act how he did, and just trained Rey, everyone would say it’s a ripoff of Yoda,
Arthur Guilherme yea but this way is more interesting in my opinion
Arthur Guilherme I feel you, but Luke ran away because he was scared to make any more mistakes and so nobody could turn out like him, making more mistakes.
@Arthur Guilherme Luke regretted trying to kill Ben. Luke thought that if he would try to help, he would just makes things worse. He tried to get rid of the problem by killing Ben (which he realized was the biggest mistake), and it led to Kylo Ren’s rise, making the galaxy suffer.
Arthur Guilherme ok, so what’s the alternative here, because what else is he supposed to do at the island, cause JJ is the one who made Luke hiding on a rock?
@Arthur Guilherme Yoda told Luke not to rush and yet he did. He paid the price for it by losing his hand. At that time, the consequences aren’t really that huge (since you can get a replacement). Thirty years later, he rushed into ending the Sith or something, and this time, the consequences are huge. He is partially or even mainly the reason why Ben turned to the Dark side. In the end, Yoda teaches him a lesson, to learn from his mistakes and do something about it. He faced Kylo Ren, giving Resistance enough time to escape and to teach Ben a lesson. Kylo Ren was rushing to kill Luke while Luke was patient, learning from his mistake of rushing.
Killing younglings is a skywalker right of passage
also why did luke leave a map to himself if he wanted to be a grumpy hermit

I feel the same way about Finn. I liked Finn in TFA...and now I think he has been completely wasted
I hope they somehow fix him in episode 9
I don’t think so. In TFA he discover the “who to fight for” with Rey and in this movie he discovers the “what to fight for” by going to the casino planet. He now believes he should do the right thing. He makes the decision to sacrifice himself, which is a heroic unselfish decision. But, since it was a fake out we can further explore Fin. But the fact he made that decision was enough to show where he’s at now, it doesn’t matter whether it worked or not.

You mean: "The only people in the world who hate Disney's Star Wars are people who love Star Wars. "
@redwill17 Let's put it this way: You tell me, a waiter at your favorite restaurant, to get you your favorite food dish on the menu. I then give it to you, but it is undercooked, raw, is missing ingredients, and I basically toss the plate in front of you. You then complain that it's not a good one, but I then reply to that with "But it's your favorite. Wow, the only ones who love this dish are the ones who hate it and complain about it all the time."
People who complain about star wars are fans who want to see GOOD star wars movies. We criticize it because we have high standards of what we like. We don't want crappy movies in which logic and reason is sidelined for spectacle. If I have a favorite movie franchise and it makes a crappy movie, I'll complain because I expected better from a franchise I love.

M8 did u imply the podracing scene was anything but a work of art
TRUTH! It was epic and I like it to this day.
The podracing scene felt like two hours of watching a camera pan from left to right over and over.
@@McSuperfly101 At least the pods could turn right! :D
The lonesome death of Ratts Tyerell, his death scream, and the "BLAURRRRGH" scream of that weird crocodile gleep-glop are in fact the peak of the prequels.

1) I like Rey being nobody
2) I’ve come to accept that Snoke dying without context is completely fine BUT
3) Kylo Ren can’t be redeemed or it cheapens his arc
4) I really wanted Ben and Rey to switch places, with her becoming the new villain and him becoming the reluctant hero
5) I FUCKING HATE PORGS
Yeah i too hate the porgs. They are basically Star Wars merchandise driven character times one million. I even dare say that they are worse than Ewoks.

@@thepriorstone4064 So I read that you like rey being nobody and thought you'd like this, it's my perfectly resonable headcannon that palpatine lied to rey about her heritage. He's evil, he lies, he knows how to manipulate people cos he can basically read minds, he knows rey is desperate for family so it's pretty fair to say this is something he would do.
That's my theory, I love rey being a nobody, and honestly it kinda makes more sense that shes "all the jedi" if the force chose her to defeat palpatine.

I hate this argument. This is my only gripe in this video. The Emperor doesn't need an explanation because there is no preceding lore at the point of his introduction. We as an audience can just buy into who and what he is without asking where he came from.
In the case of Snoke, there are seven movies worth of stories that preceed his existence. In Return Of The Jedi the Empire is defeated, Darth Vader is dead, The Emperor is dead. The rule of two (siths) was established in The Phantom Menace, so we can safely assume that the sith are dead.
And then Snoke shows up. Of course that raises questions, which are entirely valid to have, in my opinion.
Bram R that's exactly how I feel everytime i heard those argument.
Because of the gap of time between ep 6 and ep 7, I can assume Snoke's rise to power was long and complicated. I didn't care to see it. I cared that he seduced Ben to the dark side and that his death furthered Kylo's story.I guess its the time gap that makes me not care. If there was a different emperor in ep 6 than Palpatine, I'd be really confused and want answers. If that makes sense.
I agree. I imagine we'll get some information on Snoke's backstory from Kylo ruminating in the next film, or perhaps he will come back as a sassy force ghost that will exposit on his backstory and torment his killer a bit. However, I do agree, it's not the most satisfying way it could have happened. That being said, I also really appreciate how he was killed off, both for just how shocking a twist it was, but also because we see him be genuinely outwitted by Kylo.
Ye boi. I LOVED the movie, and I completrly disagree on some key points made by people who disliked it (Rey's parents, Luke's "assholiness", Kylo's childish character), but Snoke is as ex-machina as it gets.
To make things worse, he is just a typical, no, wait, he is THE typical fantasy villain, who is just overpowered bc writers said so and who just wants to infinitely rule everything for the sake of being EVIL YAAHRR (I mean, Kylo's line at the end where he offers Rey to rule the galaxy together made me bleed from the facepalm, but even that plays into Kylo's character as an infantile wannabe cool guy who hasn't came up with his own view of the world yet). Even tho the new trilogy has GREAT and very original characters (judging by the standards of modern mainstream action cinema, of course). And Snoke is just... Pure dissapointment. Hope the next episode will tell us at least something that will make sense.
Actualy the movie explains a little how the light and dark side of the force need eachother to exist as said by (i think) luke.
Luke is strong on the light side and he is training a new order.
Being this the case one can asume how snoke darkness came to balance lukes light.
The same i think with Ben and Rey
The movies may be flawed...

These aren`t the stars movies you are looking for
I’m starting to realize that I really need to not read reviews about Star Wars movies anymore. I’m realizing that I have a tendency to change my opinion very easily when presented with someone else’s thoughts on the movie. I liked Last Jedi when I first saw it, but when I saw all the outcry, I slowly started to dislike it, and now I want to like it but just can’t.
Same
I thought it was a mixed bag with some shining moments and some mess ups as well. It wasn't consistently dull, I liked the hyperspace ram from an audio visual perspective as well as the effects. They messed up with the writing though. 6.2/10 Not the worst movie ever but it sure could've been better.
PS: Am I the only one who thinks that the Leia Poppins scene couldn't be improved, seriously guys, can you really make her use the force to get her back to her ship without making it look absurd? I think not
Your all obviously a new fan s, and your opinion doesn’t make the movie good. It’s slow and boring and if you like slow and boring movies your opinion doesn’t count. This movie lets you be excited for 2 secs and kills the hype with BS WRITING.Y’all have bad taste buds you 💩 eaters.

Toon Trooper Star Wars fans are whiny a holes period they are actually the definition of toxic
oh no, it's 2019, why do people still care about anything, why can't everyone be a nihilist like me
Saying "don't judge a fantasy for breaking rules, it's about wizards and shit lol" is reductionist. We want it to be internally consistent, to stick to it's OWN rules.
It’s doing that though. It hasn’t broken any rules.
Yeah, sure it hasn't. Like when both sides of the Force have to suddenly balance each other out, when in the Prequels it was established that the Jedi and the Light Side are serenity, so the Sith have to be destroyed due to the fact that the Dark Side feeds on pain and emotion.
Didn't the Prequels introduce the concept of balancing the force in the first place though?
Bent7793 yes by destroying the Sith, that's why Obi says to Anakin "you were supposed to destroy the Sith not join them!" Balance was wiping out evil.
Brandon Patterson the true meaning of bringing balance to the Force was never established. In the AOTC novelization it specifically states that even the Jedi themselves aren't entirely sure what it means.
"every movie has a stupid subplot"

@General Kenobi im your biggest fan general Kenobi. Could you say " Hello there " for me
@General Kenobi thank you general Kenobi
@General Kenobi Rey being Palpatine's daughter actually doesn't explain her other abilities, just why she's so strong in the force. It does makes a lot of sense narratively regarding her connection to Kylo since they're both grandchildren to the OG Sith duo. PLUs, the theme of identity not mattering still applies since Rey realizes that she's not destined to her bloodline, she can choose the one that's been her true family

@@liorbur dumb as in campy and absurdly epic. Yes.
Just saying... Imagine OT Luke, with only Obi Wan and Yoda as Jedi examples, suddenly finding out what happened in the Prequels. About the rest of the Jedi, how they failed to see the dark rise in front of them, and how they failed his father. And then realizing all you've been teaching your nephew about the force is probably wrong and he, strong with the dark side as his grandfather, could become the next Vader. I would have had a moment of doubt and weakness then, if I were him.
Darth Lily DUDE EXACTLY
imagine that being set up, but they didn't it comes off clunky
I like this perspective. It sheds even more light on Luke and offers considerations that flew by too fast for me to consider in detail.
jiin6 It's all implied, but Luke legit calls out how the Jedi Council failed to snuff out Darth Sidious before he grew to destroy the Jedi, because of their hubris and arrogance. It's implied that Luke knows that the Jedi are the architects of their own destruction through the rise of Sidious and Anakin's fall.
EXACTLY! In order to appreciate TLJ, one must appreciate the prequels in how they portrayed the Jedi as arrogant Elitists that failed to see the threat in front of them.
Rip everyone who waited two years just to see Luke drop the lightsaber
I saw a hilarious edit (taken down by Disney now unfortunately) where they linked the ending of TFA with the beginning of TLJ. The Force theme swells and emotions run high.... then Luke says lol nah and the saga dies
You make a lot of good points, but I extremely disagree with your opinion about Snoke. Yes, we didn't know anything about Palpatine, but we didn't have to. There is an unlimited amount of time before A New Hope, being the 1st movie. From the beginning, all that was important was that Vader was seduced to the dark side by this guy called the emperor who rules the galaxy. But with this new trilogy, it is a sequel to a story we've seen. We have to have some information about what went on between movies. The biggest question is, "How did Snoke rise to power when there was a Republic established?" But by killing him off with no backstory, we now have no world building, and it hurts the story overall, and makes the overall plot of the new trilogy weaker.
Why would knowing how Snoke rose to power change anything? He's a simple big bad guy. He doesn't need to be much more than that. Something like that is something you can cover in a spin-off book or something. Learning about that backstory gets in the way of stuff the main story is about all to serve the purpose of "He's here, and he's powerful."
Star Wars movies have never really been "world building" anyways. That's what the Expanded Universe was for. Star Wars has always been a story focused on a small cast of characters dealing with a big problem that concerns them. Learning how Snoke rose to power has nothing to do with the main characters.
Simply put, Plot holes. You can't just say "Everything is good in the galaxy, and the Republic protects everything now" at the end of a trilogy and then start the next trilogy with an instant "Everything is terrible again" and answer the question of how exactly such a thing happened with "UhhhhhhhhhhhhExpandedUniversehhhhhhhhh". Such a thing is definitely important enough to put on the big screen.
I don't understand something because the movie isn't spoonfeeding me everything. Must be a plot hole.
Well, an entire rebellion failing after a trilogy-worth of fighting to succeed isn't "something", it's the transition that explains why the main enemy of the film got to be that enemy and why the enemy is a force to be reckoned with. That is a plot hole, as it is a major part of the plot that is missing.
No, a plot hole is something that completely doesn't work in the story. The plot falls through a hole when it does something that contradicts with whatever is going on. With your logic, the original Star Wars had a massive plot hole until Rogue One came along. But Rogue One doesn't "fix" anything. It's just an extra chapter. We didn't need to know how the Death Star plans were received, just like we don't need to know how the New Order rose to power. They probably rose to order because they were a strong army and took over. Maybe they rose to order thanks to a traitor in the Republic. Maybe they rose to order because Snoke found a magic McGuffin that gives him the wish of being an evil emperor but it disappears after being used and everyone forgets about it.
Any one of these are possible explanations, but every single one of them leads to the same result. Just because you don't know how doesn't mean it's a plot hole. The "how" is unimportant. It'd be nice to know, but these movies are not and were never supposed to be about "how" the New Order came to power. *Nobody* questioned why the New Order were around when TFA came out, just like nobody questioned why the Empire was around when ANH came out, and nobody questioned why the Jedi Council was around when TPM came out. This is the kind of stuff an "Expanded Universe" is for. Getting some details explained that aren't too important to the main story. I'd like to know why the New Order is around too. But it would be an absolute waste of Episode 7 to base the whole movie on that concept. It's been decades, they formed, and they rose to power. That's all you need to know.
you didn't need an alien horse race but what you did need was to set up asking the slave children where the horses are so you can set the horses free and leave the slave children to be slaves.

It has also been said many times that going into lightspeed is very dangerous and since we don't have a set science for this, it isn't exactly unbelievable to say that crashing into another ship at lightspeed would destroy the ship it crashes into.

My main complaint is that Rian Johnson threw away a lot of plot elements and ideas that JJ Abrams was setting up in The Force Awakens
Daniel A.
Episode ix still exists and jj is taking care of that
It doesnt mean that he isn't going to resolve them in the third one. They always knew there were going to be three of them so the presentation of events and character development is different. For example Kylo Ren not being a complete bad ass from the beginning.
how do you know he threw away plot elements. Lucasfilm has had a pretty solid idea of the direction that these films would take, in addition to the directors/writers, since before the force awakens began filming. JJ Abrams made his movie with a pretty good idea of what would happen in the plot of the last Jedi.
Stephen McNeil Rian Johnson tweeted, months before TLJ came out, that they had no story direction beyond TFA.
Jek yeah that's why I'm looking forward to it
The only halfway decent one was Wrath of Khan.
Christian Amato Lol. Take your upvote with pride sir.
Christian Amato I honestly think Rian is a bitter Trekkie.
I prefer Battle Star Galactica: Razor
KHAAAAAAAAAN
Knowledge is knowing that Galaxy Quest is not a Star Trek movie. Wisdom is knowing that Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie.
For the hyperdrive argument, the main reason people are mad is because the implication that someone can actually destroy an entire fleet with one ship is bad writing.
Oh look, the second death star is charging up, just send a ship straight at the center in hyperdrive.
Oh no, they’re still producing droids on Geonosis? Well, how about a 4 ship hyperdrive party.
I mean, the maneuver is clearly shown to be created by Holdo, and is named after her. I have more of a problem with TROS never using it again and never stating the reason why it can't be used again. It has lead to this becoming divisive so to me, since TROS brought it up and never explained it, it's more of a flaw with that movie and not this one.
@TooSweet353 No, it totally breaks the universe. So many scenes in Star Wars would have been different if hyperspace can be used by kamikazes. Clone Wars space battles would have been quite anticlimactic if droids just hyperspace through fleets and planets.
It’s because the maneuver is basically suicide.
I think the worst scene was when Leia should clearly be dead in space, and then uses the force to get back on the ship..
Luke Goodman That scene should have been scrapped.
That’s nitpicking. If something like that is the worst part, then the movie is essentially a masterpiece.
No matter how much i like that movie, that scene will always be stupid
The idea of the scene is great, it should've been executed with much more gentle movements to make it not look weird. I still like it though.
I gotta admit my eyebrow was raised and my jaw started opening as that scene played out. I was shocked.
But it was fucking great. It was surprising and made the force exciting again. We had been getting hints that Leia was force sensitive. Plus she is a skywalker so it's not like it came out of nowhere.

“You’re a mad star wars fan” is not invalid. If anything it’s more valid. Thinking that Luke’s change of character was a good idea is enough to let me know that this guy doesn’t care about star wars. Not even Mark Hamill liked it
I disliked this film because Fin sacrificing himself would have been a great conclusion but narratively his character arc would go nowhere. I agree with cosmo on that.
So it frustrates me that we got what we got. Its like the writers wrote themselves into a corner
@@daoyang223 Well, they really did. And to be honest their attempt at grey morality is much worse than the Imperial Remnant story arc they de-canonized to build the Sequels in the first place. Not only that, but the First Order is by this point so unthreatening and meatheaded in their endeavors that they make Palpatine look like a military genius.
The problem about Luke is not that is flawed: I like that. But do you really believe that the person who did everything to redeem Darth Vader - whom has done incredibly bad things - would kill his nephew for having a thought about the “dark side”? That’s what’s out of character.
Re: Rey - it’s not that she’s not related to someone famous, it’s the fact that she’s overpowered for no reason. Anakin is overpowered but is supposedly the “chosen one”, and Luke is the “chosen one’s son”. I’d have been ok with the idea that there’s multiple chose ones (maybe in different civilisation are identified differently) and Rey being connected to that line of chosen ones. However having her being so powerful without struggles (both Anakin and Luke still go through many struggles even if chosen ones) is what made me dislike this.
While I can see your point about Luke Skywalker (and I 100% agree that the movie isn’t perfect) I don’t understand the criticism that he acts out of character because I believe that that’s the point of the movie. You’re never supposed to take what he did and agree with it, you’re supposed to look at his actions as “out of character.” Btw, I agree with your points about Rey, I just wanted to address the argument against Luke.
@@zombiefiedjem5113 I get what you’re saying, but I believe it’s a matter of semantics. When I say “out of character” I mean “looking at all of Luke’s history, the way he acts in this movie does not make sense from a logical perspective”. Of course in the movie it was written to be like this, so within the context of TLJ he’s “in character”. The problem is that TLJ does not consider the OT character development and when you look at Luke over all the 6 films (OT + ST), then TLJ sticks out like a sore thumb.
Again, it’s the same reason why I didn’t like Reva as a character: from a logical standpoint of how you would expect someone to act/react, they don’t make sense:
Luke does everything to save the second most evil person in the galaxy, but wants to kill his nephew for having remote dreams about following his grandpa footsteps.
Reva wants to kill children to raise in the ranks of Inquisitors to kill Vader because he kille children.
I honestly can’t see how these motivations can even make sense to the writers…

Poe’s choices in my opinion actually made a lot of sense
He decides to fight the dreadnought, and destroy it instead of running away, and he does destroy it getting rid of a powerful cruiser, and thusly weakening the first order, and killing a ton of troops in exchange for only a handful of bombers, and their crew. This decision is a tactical victory that any sane commander would make 10 times out of ten
Then he mutinies because the Admiral of the ship is doing nothing but sitting on her hands, and is refusing to tell Poe the second highest ranking officer there. Or anyone else what her plan is while ships are being destroyed. In Poe’s mind Holdo is Either Incompetent, Crazy, or a Traitor trying to get them all killed
Yup
I personally disagree with snoke and rey. Rey doesn’t need to be obi wans daughter or Luke’s daughter, but they shouldn’t have just blatantly said that her parents were nothing after hyping them up. And for snoke yes, I agree that we didn’t know anything about palpatine until the prequels, but they shouldn’t relive that same mistake.
And the hyperdrive thing was FUCKING AMAZING. But they should’ve used Admrial Akbar instead of whoever the pink haired women was.
Akbar died right?
GewoonRood he died when the Bridge was blown up. (When Leia was almost killed too)
It should have been Leia, tbh.
Fans hyped Rey's parents up. Disney didn't.. Daisey Ridley said herself it was obvious who her parents were since the first movie, and if you focus on that in TFA, she is right.
R.W. Yoho Snoke is dead what's there to learn.
Ok, so here's my problem with Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, he goes from saving his Father (one of the most evil men in the Galaxy at the time) despite the fact that characters in the original trilogy tell him it's too late for Vader. Luke never gives up on his Father even after all he has done, yet in The Last Jedi at the slightest sight of darkness in Ben he immediately thinks of killing him instead of just trying to talk to him about it (even though Luke knows this is exactly how Anakin turned to the dark side, by not talking to him about his emotions).
I have one last question for you, if you were sleeping in the middle of the night and all of a sudden you wake up to find your Father/Mother standing over you with a Gun aimed directly at you what would your thoughts/actions immediately be? And yes, Luke said the thought passed like a shadow, but why did he even allow himself to get that close to killing Ben before he properly thought about it? Plus Ben wouldn't of known what Luke was thinking...
He bet the entire battle and fate of the galaxy on there being some good or light within his incredibly evil father, so, yes, it just doesn't make sense why he would not try to be somewhat loving, kind, or considerate to his obviously morally conflicted nephew. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Louis Gonzales Exactly
@@Sword_Man_YT I think he was trying to be a classic Jedi. When i say a classic Jedi, i mean he tried to follow the way of order before the republic became the empire.
Emotionless, with no needs and cravings. I think that in an attempt to become that classic type of Jedi, he fucked up, and then realised the errors of the old order. After instictivly raising his saber, as a fleeting thought, he understood that that way of thinking is wrong, that the action he was taking is wrong, that the way the Jedi try to purge evil at any chance they get, is wrong.
I see it like that. Luke, in an attempt to meet the expactations everybody else(who considered him a legend) set on him, he tried to become a Jedi like the ones of old, who would for example, ignore their padawans if they had bad thoughts by pretty much telling them to just "forget about it, you don't need that, that leads to the dark side, forget about it" or just straight up killing someone as soon as they fall to the Dark side.
Luke stopped in his tracks as soon as he ignited his saber because he realised he was making a mistake. And after that mistake cost him his nephew, his students and everything he was attempting to build, he realised all the flaws of the Jedi of old, and that is what made him change his stance on the Jedi.
A small headcannon i have. You can also say that he acted rash and without thinking, something that Luke would do but yeah
George Sakelis The thing is though I don't really see Luke doing that after he realized the big mistakes the Jedi made in their old ways. Plus Luke isn't the type of person to just want to murder a kid because he sees the slightest bit of evil in him, he wouldn't even think about it.
@@Sword_Man_YT It is implied that Snoke has been influencing him for a while now. To me it makes sense, i don't see it as something old Luke wouldn't do

I've no idea how this is worse than episode II
Deadly Doughty ikr People are complaining about tlj but episode 2 was way worse
Because the god damned hyperspeed ramming is incredibly overpowered and should have been the only thing ever used in combat, Star destroyers, the death star and starkiller base are completely useless compared to it and the whole star wars universe begins to fall apart. Why build the death star when you could just launch ships of even rocks/asteroids at planets AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Everything's meaningfulness just completely falls apart when compared to such a feet that even the most bog-standard ships are now capable of. It also shits all over the old cannon, where hyperspace is a sort of different dimension through which one can travel at a much faster rate compared to their own. Its just an example of Disney fucking previously accepted star wars logic for a cool scene with flashy special effects.
DreamBigPig I think it's not that simple. The ships start moving at lightspeed before they make the jump to hyperspace, so they are still moving through physical space before they warp into the other dimension. It would probably cost a lot of money/resources and lives, as well as be incredibly difficult to aim, if they were to use vessels with hyperspace drives as projectile weapons on a regular basis. Does that help?
Donny Lurch Ssh let people mindlessly hate on a economically infeasible form of attack that was used in desperation because *gasp* there was no other choice
Mark Hamill has stated he was upset in the way Luke is portrayed in TLJ and made his feelings known to Rian Johnson. Mark knew this would cause some controversy and he was right.
Mark Hamill also said in the same interview that he was entirely willing to be proven wrong/change his mind about the direction Rian took his character. Mark was similarly weary about Luke's portrayal in TFW, but now loves how it turned out.
Except he is fine with it now
He was disappointed that Luke and Han never got a scene together in TFA he said it was a great opportunity missed and it was.
He didn't say he was upset about the portrayal but that he dissagreed with the direction, he even said that after he let rian johnson know that he disargreed he then told the director that since he got it off his chest he will portray the character as asked. He recognized and accepted that he had no control, he vented and then moved on.
Cheeseycurve 54, in cinema, they're not entirely different. Some of the best 'writing' for many characters was never actually written. For example; YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. That was the actor, not the writer. "Here's looking at you, kid". Came from the actor off-stage. "Heeeeeeere's Johnny" is another improv from the actor. Same with "You talkin' to me?". Indiana Jones shooting the Swordsman was also Harrison Ford's suggestion. Originally he was going to actually fight with him. The final lines of Roy in Blade Runner were also improvised. Hannibal's hissing in Silence of the Lambs was improvised. The Joker clapping slowly and menacingly during Gordon's promotion in The Dark Knight Rises was also improvised. As was his pause while walking away from the hospital before it explodes. "Game over man" in Aliens was also ad libbed.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Writers aren't the be-all-end-all of characters, and quite often the actors know the characters better than the writers. This is because actors have to get to intimately know the characters they portray, in order to actually portray them. Its hard to act as someone you don't understand, so they understand them. Writers often briefly think of the characters sporadically during writing. This isn't to say they don't think about the characters, but they've got to consider all the other characters as well, and the scenes the director wants in the movie, and the themes, and the plot as a whole, and a million other things.
For Hamil, who has lived knowing Luke Skywalker for many decades, and was told who the character is by his creator - George Lucas - I trust his judgement of who the character is far more than I trust a new writer brought on to write a movie that decides to change Luke's character to better fit the themes he wants in his movie. And Hamil was right. Johnson fundamentally didn't understand, or didn't care for, Luke's character. He had a different story he wanted to tell.
Unfortunately for him, a lot of fans DO care about Luke's character, and DON'T care about what Johnson was trying to do with the movie. You picked Star Wars, you do Star Wars. Do the reinventing with a new IP and/or character.
What? A review that doesn’t outright hate on the movie but also acknowledges its flaws?
In the words of Luke Skywalker, “That’s impossible!”
Well done @cosmonaut, enjoyed the video
DaniPhantom the fanbase is absolute shit
Nah, it's nothing special. I thought it was okay too. But his "bad points" are shit, like Poe being a moron, considering the movie literally proves him right later on.
Agree with the Luke thing, though.
Pepper Millers Poe is a moron and moreover died on Jakku when he and Finn crashed.
He is, but he was still right. The Casino crysis could've (maybe) been averted if the purple haired bitch told him the plan. Hell, he is literally proven right when the order starts shooting the escaping ships. At least the bitch died. He was an idiot, but I rooted for him more than Leia and whatever-her-name-was.
True, admiral Holdup was an incredibly stupid character, and she should have just told everyone her plan. But I still wish Poe had died in the beginning of TFA, as it would have made Finn's story more interesting. He would have had to shoulder the responsibility of Poe's mission, and therefore a cause he knew nothing about, but felt obligated to honor Poe's sacrifice. If this had been a theme in TFA, Finn attempting to finish Poe's mission and avenge the guy who saved him, I would have enjoyed it much more.
The more time passes, the more I apreciate Ryan Johnson's boldness in grabbing Star Wars and trying to do something new and free the next generation from the past heroes. You can't move a franchise forward only telling the stories from past heroes
The plot he came up with horrible and destroyed every plot point from TFA. You can't say that's "freeing the next generation" when you destroy Luke Skywalker and troll the audience for being invested in the story with useless plot twists that make no sense
@@proaaron578 In that case let's say that failure is the greatest teacher. Even the greatest masters can fail, and learn from it.

Too bad you can do so without taking a dump on past heroes, aspect which Ryan Johnson didn't bother to take into account. Mandalorian and Andor showcased Star Wars could go elsewhere, without being insulting mess which is The Last Jedi.
@@radiant3921Yeah they definitely couldn’t have used the time they had spent making Luke out to be Ebenezer Scrooge for something like character development for a villain that could be remembered no no no no that’s ridiculous run every hero we’ve known into the ground and dumb some dirt on it too. Let’s kill off the one main antagonist we had so that the next director can just scramble and ruin everything right
Rogue One was about the sacrifice of the common man, not the family feud of space wizards controlling the galaxy for good or bad.
Rogue One was trash, except the ending, and The Last Jedi was garbage. End of story 😊.

I second this for no particular reason.
I was SO glad when it was revealed Rey's parents were nobody drunkards. I got into an argument with my dentist about how not every character needs to be of some sort of noble lineage to be important. Probably not the best person to upset though.
Jkla Alkj three people you never wanna anger. Cops, surgeons and dentists
I didn't like it not cause she wasn't special but because it felt like a plot point purely made up to fuck with our expectations. It didn't feel natural and felt like it was just there to throw the audience a curve ball and fuck with fan theories
Jkla Alkj you think in college sports, they find the guy's parents who no one has ever heard of? No. People wanna here the starting quarterbacks parents get interviewed, if she wasn't so all powerful her lineage wouldn't matter at all. Anakin was trained by the best, luke was trained by the best, and she has never been trained once.
Seeing as this "reveal" came right when Kylo was trying to convince Rey to join him, I find it sketchy at best. It seems like classic emotional manipulation, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next movie reveals that Kylo has no idea who her parents were (or are). Personally, I want Rey to have some relation to a past character, but I realize that would undercut the idea of force sensitivity being much greater than some simple hereditary trait
MisterMercy i think you're on to something. It seems like too many plot points were made to subvert our expectations or at least keep the audience guessing at the truth.
Why the fuck are you arguing with your dentist about Star Wars? Have fun next time you're getting a filling.
I find it sad that all of the things he praises The Last Jedi for not doing, get done by Rise Of Skywalker
For example
“Rey doesn’t have to be related to anyone important or anyone you know”
*Rey is related to [IMPORTANT CHARACTER THAT EVERYONE KNOWS] as revealed in ROS*
Marcus was actually right.
I feel like after Rise of Skywalker, people have realised they're hatred for this movie went way too far to the point where Disney literally made a sequel to piss off the least amount of fans and now people accept it as alright. (I hope I'm right)
I think you are correct. And it's sad because TROS could have simultaneously been really huge with all the lines that 7 and 8 set up. But in an effort to piss off the least amount of people, they made it profoundly mediocre, and IMO, the worst (I still liked it, mind you!) film of the saga.
@@Sohbek agreed I take good story over overChorography fight
No, the reason why rise of skywalker is the way it is. Is because tlj cuts down basically any plot lines and ruins most characters. This is why "somehow palpatine has returned" with absolutely 0 build up
@@notdot8742 I don't think so, the Rise of Shitwalker was the worst in the series. there is no excuse as to why its so bad.
@@notdot8742 It’s TROS’s fault. I love TLJ and seeing the plot threads of this film get erased because some people got mad is a coward move. Rey should have been a nobody. Luke’s arc was compelling. Luke’s death was perfect, and Palpatine should have never shown up in this trilogy.

A Fanbase divided
Me after seeing “Rise of Skywalker”:...............I can tell
Huh?
Alright I gotta address the whole "Luke Skywalker was actually in character because he isn't perfect" excuse for his portrayal.
What is the point of a character arc? A character arc is something that's meant for the character to go through and learn from, a series of events that turns them into who they become as a person. The kinds of lessons that once they learned them, it comes back in future situations and shows how much they'd grown from their experiences.
To have a character repeat the SAME arc over and over and over again (like you complained about with Finn) essentially makes what they did prior pointless, as if they didn't learn anything from it and doesn't move the character forward.
So using that logic, how can you defend Luke's portrayal in this movie?
Let's go with some things established from Luke.. NOT TO DO WITH THE BOOKS(which I think was a wrong opinion).
People didn't want "Book Luke" they wanted Luke Skywalker.
Let's go over what Luke Skywalker accomplished in the MOVIES...
He had the 2nd most evil guy in the galaxy(his father) which he felt could be redeemed despite years and years and decades on The Dark Side.
In the face of the EMPEROR with his friends on a planet, and the galaxy on the brink, he was still willing to risk all of that to save his father and redeem him. The trilogy ALREADY established that Luke wasn't perfect(all of Empire Strikes Back), but that was a part of his growth as a character, even in Return of the Jedi, Luke tried to kill the Emperor before Vader intervened.
But the entire point was Luke after downing Vader came to the realization about something when he looked at Vader's hand and his own. He realized what those decisions could lead him down, finally learning his lessons, he threw away his Lightsaber and refused to fall. Finally learning what he was meant to learn to truly become a Jedi.
That is what makes the line "You've failed. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." mean so much.
And PALPATINE who has manipulated EVERYONE and is always willing to play the long game, realizes that Luke was incorruptible because of the lessons he'd learned and finally understood. This is why the Emperor then decided it was best to kill him.
BUT in the end, Luke was REWARDED for his faith in his father and his faith in his father's redemption because Vader did indeed turn from The Darkside and threw Emperor Palpatine down a shaft.
Luke Skywalker won over Vader from the man whom had been manipulating him since he was a child and kept him on the dark side for years.
THAT kind of "Reward" for your faith and your lessons learned is a VERY BIG REASON why people hate Luke's 'arc' in The Last Jedi.
Because someone who went through all of that and learned those lessons and arc and WAS REWARDED FOR THEM across and at the conclusion of the previous trilogy from a storywriting standpoint is NOT going to then go and have a "fleeting thought" to kill his nephew because he felt darkness in him...
Now had Luke FAILED to redeem Vader, it would be more understandable, because you could argue that Luke was afraid of 'failing' again and was contemplating not trying this time because he failed before.
BUT that was not the case... Luke SUCCEEDED and he was rewarded for his decision.
Because Luke succeeded there is NO REASON narrative wise that he would even have a fleeting thought of killing his OWN NEPHEW when he was the same person that had redeemed Vader who had been taken by the Emperor and was Dark side for DECADES before Luke came around.
So no, Luke having a 'fleeting moment' was not "Oh it means he isn't perfect, which is great!" it's bad storytelling and intentionally ignoring everything that came before it and the story arcs of the previous characters, and written as if the person that directed this movie never watched the previous Star Wars films and went into fanfiction mode.
And now that Daisy Ridley has revealed that JJ did in fact leave an outline for Episodes 8 and 9 that Rian Johnson just ignored, it makes Rian Johnson look worse as he tried to throw JJ under the bus by trying to excuse his crap execution in The Last Jedi by trying to say there wasn't an outline for future episodes after TFA. Which makes Rian Johnson looks like a pretentious lying [expletive] now who couldn't deal with the fact people had problems with his films and saw through his attempts to be 'smarter than everyone else in the room' but wound up screwing things up worse.
So no, Luke's arc isn't "good" because it proves Luke isn't perfect, it was established through 3 previous films that Luke wasn't perfect, but when HE LEARNED and made his final decision on Vader and against The Emperor that was his arc, that was his crowning moment, that's what defined him as a character..
To out and out ignore that and try to say "oh it's just to prove Luke isn't perfect" no.. it's a betrayal to Luke's character and the arcs he already went through and just lazy writing by someone that needed a conflict so he wrote Luke Skywalker out of character in order to create one. And writing an ESTABLISHED character, out of character just so you can make a certain conflict happen is the kind of things you see in bad fan fiction. Which is precisely what The Last Jedi is imo.
carrastealth remember that scene in episode 6 where Luke loses his cool and just went ballistic on Vader out of rage? Yeah he totally seems perfect. That scene was to show that Luke is human and in TLJ it's also there to remind us of that. Every fan probably wanted luke to cut down stormtroopers and fight the entire first order by himself or some dumb shit but in reality his character just wants to die because of all the pressure. It's natural for a human to feel this way regardless of how much he or she has gone through in the past because people change sometimes for the worst and that's what the Last Jedi is showing us. Imo it's realistic and natural.
But in the end Luke learns that even though he can't really do all that shit that the fans want him to he at least tries at the end. He gives kylo the benefit of "killing" him but that was to show the world how much of a monster kylo is and to try and apologize for all that he's done
And even though Mark Hamill disagreed with the way his character was written he ended up loving the message and saying that everyone did an amazing job with the film and now he probably doesn't even mind that much that his character wasn't this powerful god that can magically solve the worlds problems (why is that?) Oh yeah...because he's a human with emotions and feelings
That entire diatribe you wrote was already addressed in my comment ;)
"But the entire point was Luke after downing Vader came to the realization about something when he looked at Vader's hand and his own.

Very good arguments i totally agree op
Alain Demren, I don't think he made that. It's a map to the temple pulled from the archives of the Empire.
carrastealth Yeah, people learn from their experiences, but Luke didn’t just sense darkness in Kylo, he saw a vision of him murdering the people he cared about “Snoke had already turned his heart, He would bring destruction, and pain, and death and the end of everything I loved because of what he will become. And for the briefest moment of PURE INSTINCT I thought I could stop it, it passed like a fleeting shadow.” What happens is COMPLETELY true to Luke’s character! Just take return of the Jedi for example, the entire movie Luke believes that he can turn Vader and that there is still good in him. Just the fact that Vader says he will turn Leia to the dark side makes Luke go off and chop off Vader’s hand in a fit of rage, now picture Luke looking into Ben’s head, he literally SAW him kill people he cared about (you can hear the sound of lightsabers and screams), now if any normal person were to see that, Ben would have been lunch meat. But Luke knows that killing him isn’t the right thing to do because he learned that and is ashamed of himself right after activating his lightsaber, unfortunately for Luke Ben had already woken up and the damage had been done. What you’re saying is that Luke shouldn’t have even thought about killing Ben because he had learned that that isn’t right, which is REALLY reaching and making it sound like Luke can’t make human mistakes and have moments of weakness like this one. To say he wouldn’t actually do something is one thing, but to say that he wouldn’t EVEN think about doing something is another. Luke was obviously emotionally unstable after looking inside of Ben (there were tears in his eyes) it would make perfect sense for him to feel contempt and anger and vengeance after seeing what Ben would do, those are very powerful emotions and can make even the best of us make the worst mistakes. Luke didn’t even go through with the act and just considered it for a second, comparing Luke’s reaction to when Vader just threatened to do something, and Luke’s reaction when he saw horrible things happen to the people he loved, I think it’s pretty loyal to his character and at the same time shows that he learned that isn’t the right way to go about the situation. It’s a VERY human thing to be overtaken by thoughts of wanting revenge after witnessing the things Luke witnessed. Luke isn’t perfect and isn’t protected from vengeful and hateful thoughts.
"Doesn't make sense for them to be related to each other." Didn't age well, huh?
Yes, it did actually, you are wrong. The point still stands and the reveal of Palpatine's daughter was abysmal in the way it was carried out.
@@pleasesubscribetomynewyout5330 The fact she is Palpatine's *granddaughter* (as I'm pretty sure you meant) would be abysmal in any way it could have been carried out.
@@garrisoncox724 it still makes no sense to me that jj felt like he had to undo the previous movie with that shit
In The Force Awakens, Finn developed a friendship with Rey, giving him someone to fight for, he explicitly states that he only went to the Starkiller base to save Rey. In The Last Jedi, Finn initially only cares for Rey, he never promised any alliance to the Resistance, so he's trying to save his friend, going as far from the conflict as he can. His journey with Rose, gave him a cause to fight for, because he realized that the First Order was still harming people the way they harmed him and Rose, he saw that he could make a difference.
Wow a third of the movie that was completely unnecessary for the movies. Would've made a fine comic book. Was an absolute shit plot for the mainline series. Why? It has nothing to do with nor any bearing on the overarching trilogy. The last jedi just ignored what a sequel in a trilogy is. Does Finn have the force? Ignore it. Who are the knights of Ren? Who cares i guess. Who is Snoke/who trained him? Oh dead now. Johnson would make a great star wars side movie like rogue one, but instead made the worst sequel possible. This is just a star wars side story sold to fans as a main, essential story. Maybe 30 minutes or so was necessary for the trilogy and the rest was star wars comic material.
@Alex Sandoval so the first of the trilogy is supposed to canonize/ shed light on the plot set up in the second? How does that make sense? The major issue with the last jedi is it tried to do its own thing as the sequel in a trilogy.
Adrien Taylor wow didn't even see that schpeel from before. Look you obviously loved the horse scene but myself and nearly everyone ive spoke to in defense of and against the last jedi agrees it was filler story and bad. "Wasted Finn" is the exact line that comes to mind. I guess you forgot that Johnson is the one who implied finn still didn't care about anyone but rey. Meaning he created an unnecessary, nearly repetitive story arc for Finn. How is that good? Everything but rey and luke, luke and kylo, or kylo and rey scenes were necessary for the overarching trilogy. Great 45 minutes scattered about the film. Everything else was a star wars comic and a forgettable one at that. Sets poe and finn up to be resistance leaders? A)That is a star wars comic if ive ever heard one and B)What sane individual would trust poe after the last jedi? Two words irrational and suicidal. Who's dumb enough to follow that guy? Let me ask you; how was the force awakens iyo?
@@ludacrisisjakes6672 finn wasn't wasted. story could have been better but he wasn't wasted and story served it's purpose. they rode the horses for barely a minute, stop nitpicking. it's not johnson who established finn cares only about rey, finn himself says that in TFA. he is with resistance to rescue rey. what do you want finn and poe to do? blow up stuff here and there? or fetch some random artifacts/items/plot devices and meet random people at random places like in TRoS?
leia was dumb enough to follow poe incase you missed the ending.
@@Bothandle70 everything with finn's plot was wasted and i mean everything from the benicio del toro stuff to learning about the rich funding both sides. All of this was bad unnecessary plot. Additionally at the end of the force awakens finn is with the resistance while rey pursues the search for luke. His character arc for the first film was him learning to fight for something or someone other than himself. Sounds like the exact same arc in the last jedi. Finn only says that in the force awakens before the climax and before his showdown with kylo or the death of han solo and not a word since. Him picking up the lightsaber to defend rey was supposed to signify that turning point where he would rather fight to protect what he cares about than flee and survive. After the escape hes clearly shown with the resistance in full. I guess you must have forgotten the character developed in the first film. And finally yes a fetch quest story while maybe boring or stale had bearing on the plot unlike finn's story in the last jedi. People really liked this hot garbage so you're not alone i guess. This isn't nitpicking. This is me point after point explaining why this movie is hated.
Dude get out of my head. You basically just laid out my exact opinion on the matter. This movie isn't perfect. But neither is any star wars movie.
no movie is perfect nothing is perfect dude but star wars movies are better than other movies its gooder

@Wackaz - Arthur Wacker, TESB isn’t perfect either.
luke in episode 6, "I can't kill my father who is a mass murderer/dictator and is directly responsible for thousands, if not millions of deaths. I will sacrifice myself and face the emperor just for the miniscule chance to save him."

It's almost as if time and circumstance can change ones outlook on the world, if even for a moment.
If you're the *_EXACT SAME PERSON_* at 55 as you were at 25, then you have some serious development issues.
Luke in Episode 6 - almost gives in to the dark side completely after Vader threatens his sister, physically overwhelming him and chopping his hand off, and very nearly killing him. Luke in Episode 8 - has a fleeting moment of fear that causes him to ignite his saber, then immediately stops himself and regrets it immensely. Gee, *it's almost as if Luke, despite growing and learning to better control his emotions by Episode 8, isn't perfect* or godly the way some people demand ...

"them being even alive immediately invalidates most of what makes and the original trilogy special at all."
- This is what you said about the end of Star Wars Rebels and the fact that most of the main cast is still alive.
IMO really felt that this is applicable to when you dismiss the people who feel the Hyperdrive Kamikaze run in Last Jedi was dumb. The very fact that they made it possible and show that it is possible means that if ever we have a conflict where anyone is pushed against a wall, the audience is most definitely going to think, "Well you're gonna die anyway, why not just hyperdrive smash the enemy and potentially save everyone else?"
well, no. a hyperdrive kamikaze is a actual last ditch effort
@Hyunjay Cho the point isnt to become the new empire, but to bring freedom to the galaxy. if they made a weapon with greater ability then the death star then they get put on a worse level then the goddamn sith.
@Hyunjay Cho well a hyperdrive weapon could easily vaporize planets with enough mass and speed. It's going at speeds close to the speed of light, so any impact is going to be massive and ,at the very least, wipe out a good chunk of any earth like planet out there. At the other end of the spectrum, they launch enough mass at a planet, and the planet will either be completely obliterated, or the debris will block out any light for decades, killing everyone anyway.
@RATCHOON they didn't destroy the moon though. Only The malevolence was destroyed. And they didn't do it on purpose or anything either, anakin sabotaged the ship.
Not even that, just hyperspace torpedoes. Just make a hyperspace torpedo, done, you've killed capital ships in Star Wars, you've ended the concept of Star Destroyers and SSDs and super weapons and everything big in Star Wars, you've killed the entire military conception of such things because one shot with a chunk of metal strapped to a hyperdrive will kill it.
So glad to see a Star Wars fan that is able to both praise and criticize TLJ! So many fans are so one sided in their opinion that they either love it or despise it, and it’s nice to see a fair analysis of the movie that doesn’t “take sides”

For me, the problem is it just really doesn’t fit well as the second film in the trilogy.
David Rich Right, though we have to accept it as the second film. It’s like that piece of a puzzle the looks like it can fit at first, but doesn’t.
Rian Johnson brought balance to the force lmao
I disagree with your opinion about The Last Jedi being better than the Prequel Trilogy. But I can agree that it was a Ok movie, I still have a high regard of the prequels ( I enjoyed at least) I really don't like The Last Jedi but I can see why some SW fans and non fans liked (Rebels vs Empire thematic, fast action sequences, puppet Yoda, "let the past die" dilemma, etc)
I said it once ill say it again. The last jedi was a star wars side story masquerading as a main series story. It would have been beloved if it was not also a bridge between two films. Because it is the second film in the trilogy though, it is just bad. Messy plot that also messes the plot of the previous film but also tarnishes the future of the trilogy that film set up. It also stole the trilogy ending with Luke's sacrifice at least according to George Lucas and Abrams. Does it really surprise anyone that fans hate it so much? It is a bad movie as part of an overarching trilogy.

The quips were a bit much. I loved the visual jokes much more as those were easier ways to ease the tension naturally. However, the dialogue jokes this time around oddly enough felt far more natural than it did in TFA.
too many jokes? there much less "jokes" than usual and some moments were organicly, naturally funny. not like overtrying to be funny
Star Wars: The Last Jedi has both good and bad moments at the end of the day 💯.
You can literally say that about 90% of movies
@@drasconboy6349 ok....
@@Z3ROMyth it's true, nearly every movie has good and bad or at the very least less good elements
This movie was total garbage.
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT SPACE WIZARDS THERE ARE NO RULES
*Litterly complains about the inquisitors using their lightsabers to fly*
Tiffany Hill get what your saying but he said it looked fucking stupid and ruins their credibility not that you can’t do it
Guys a moron sometimes.
he liked the movie dumb bitch
He didn’t complain about the rules of the flying lightsabers he just said it looked fucking stupid (which it does) The Hyperdrive scenes in this movie looked amazing.
Tiffany Hill yeah but the hyperdrive scene was explained in a book. While the inquisitors is just fucking dumb. You can not look at scenes with that and say it’s fine

"Poe is a ****ing idiot in this movie..."
For... Wanting to take out the ship that would have crushed them, and then wanting to know the Captain's plan, and after receiving no answer, stages a mutiny to save the crew? I mean, it's your opinion...
holdo din t do much to improve the situation. I know hehad to get turned down but Holdo was being sketchy as shit......hell one of the themes must be stupid lack of communication.
Not to mention, the almighty plan she had hidden in her back pocket from HER OWN CREW for no reason straight up failed. She was supposed to be smarter than Poe to show what he could learn from respecting the chain of command and not just going off and doing his own thing, but then her plan gets most of the resistance wiped out anyways.
Spencer Cox Yes Poe is an idiot and he makes dumb decisions and continuously fails. However Holdo was also an idiot. He makes a point to say that as well. Let’s be honest, the movie itself was stupid, but at the same time it was awesome. Pretty much that’s all Star Wars is a stupid yet awesome franchise.
If by "failed", you mean the cloaked Resistance ships being caught, then you may have forgotten that DJ pointed out the Resistance escape because he overheard POE tell Finn and Rose about Holdo's plan a little earlier.
The thing about the Poe-Holdo conflict is that neither side is completely blameless (Poe is rash and sees himself as the only sane man, responsible for the future of the whole Resistance, while Holdo distances herself from the whole crew, believing that her soldiers should sit quietly, follow her orders and not ask any questions), but for some reason the film portrays Holdo as the one in the right, while Poe is written as the only one at fault to invoke the "hot-headed young man doesn't listen to his elders and messes up" trope, together with the modern feminist outcry that "women are wiser" and men don't listen to them enough. Poe gets a scolding from two female authority figures who see his actions as horrible, but hey, Holdo and Leia are so amazing, loving, #flawless and progressive that they will give him a second chance despite his many flaws. And Holdo gets a heroic send off despite her idiocy and lack of responsibility as a leader. Just read the description of her home planet on Wookieepedia.
"Every Star Wars Movie sucks"
Thank you. I love you. I also love star wars, but realized after this movie that every single episode has major flaws, but most people are too busy glorifying the OT to realize this.
Tim Tim gonna be honest empire is the only starwars movie where I would really need to think to find flaws. Every other movie I can point out flaws
MS PAINT LIVE Really? A LOT of people back then had no trouble finding negatives about Empire.
Edwin Nah yea but what they said was shit like "it's boring it sucks it's not as good as the first" which isn't true
GrapeKitty i think he just had aneurism
Yeah, every star wars movie has flaws. But if the strory is interesting enough those minor problems can be bypassed easily. However, the sequel movies failed to create an original, interesting story and when this happens, people will more likely ro complain about smaller problems.
"basically this is the kind of series where you really need to just accept the dumb stuff and enjoy the stuff that you like". Very well said.
Corben Davan just shoes how bad the writing is that does
"basically this is the kind of series where you really need to just accept the dumb stuff and enjoy the stuff that you like"
No.
This movie had far more "dumb stuff" and far less stuff I liked than any other Star Wars movie. For me, it is in last place... by a very wide margin.
“If you ignore all the bad things it becomes good !!!!!1!!!1!!!11”
"Thinking is the enemy."
You just given credence to this horrifying message.
WatcherPrime ^^^
I think the hyperdrive seen was really pretty and conceptual HOWEVER, the reason people don’t like this is because at that rate every space battle would end with the side that had more ships hyperdriving into shit. Like the droids would have won they could just fly at all be Jedi and clone ships.
1) Empire Strikes Back - What a surprise. To be fair, it's not perfect, but it's certainly the best at what I love in this series. Developing characters, cool locations, even some unforseen twists. Intro of Yoda, Hoth battle, the last fight between Luke and Vader. It's perfectly paced, visually enticing and a well driven character pieces. A really good and enjoyable piece of cinema.
2) New Hope - Although it seems a little bit like it's wobbling on its feet at times, it's just a really fun story with some 'feel-good' elements sprinkled throughout. It just feels adventurous and fun and the entire thing just looks so happily made. I just can't stop smiling in this film.
3) Last Jedi - I can acknowledge there's a lot of bad stuff in this film. Casino World should be entirely scrapped. But I like the themes it pushed and how it went about exploring them. Condensing the story and focusing solely on Kylo and Rey is a very wise decision in my opinion, and makes it a bit more character driven. Some flaws, but a good time for me.
4) Force Awakens - Is it a rehash of New Hope? Largely yes. But I actually still really enjoy Rey and Finn, I like Kylo a lot, I like how it's a very strong harkening to those original movies. It's a very safe move but unlike Rogue One I actually feel really invested in those new characters. I also saw it like 7 times in cinemas, so I must have found something about it good!
5) Revenge of the Sith - Easily the best prequel and the best acted. Is it perfect? HELL NO. But it's got some things I actually really like. Ewan McGregor at his best, the fall of the Jedi and some surprisingly well acted scenes and, in my opinion, good conflict and plot. Gotta give it credit where it's due. It got me interested.
6) Return of the Jedi - Return of the Jedi isn't bad, not at all, but it's lacking a lot of power in those early acts. Act 3 is where it gets good but it takes quite some time to make it. The first act of the story is WAAAAAY too slow for me though it's good once it gets going.
7) Rogue One - DUN DUN DUN. Yep. I don't like Rogue One that much. I think it treads a lot of already trodden ground and not in a very interesting way. Bland characters, bland plot and bland ideas. No connection, no emotion. Last act is cool but I'm not invested.
8) Phantom Menace - It's not God awful but Lord is it boring. It feels so emotionless so much of the time, so bland, and it hardly ever seems to try and wake itself up until the Maul fight.
9) Attack of the Clones - What a masterclass in awful writing, awful plot and almost entirely wooden acting with rare exceptions. Just awful.
+Raymondo Captures my feelings entirely.
I'd probably personally put TFA above TLJ by just a tiny bit, but that may be because they correctly manipulated my nostalgia feels. Actually probably the same reason A New Hope is equal 1st for me, because holy shit that's the one I rewatched as a kid over and over and over. But yeah, mostly agree with these assessments, especially with the bottom two :P
Anyone who says TLJ is the worst star wars films needs a serious sit down and talking to. If nothing else, the set designs and cinematography were on fucking point, where as PM and AofC don't even have that going for them thanks to perma green screens.
Call me a monster, but I would personally move A New Hope beneath The Last Jedi. I love the new take on a Star Wars narrative, and A New Hope, to me, feels like a really cliché story, even though the movie came out before there was a cliché.
A New Hope is honestly a bit tedious to watch these days, especially the first half. Perhaps I've seen it too many times? But Empire never fails to keep me gripped.
Raymondo I agree 100%
With luke it's not that he's out of character from the EU books, it's the fact that he's out of character from what he was like the original trilogy.
In the original trilogy, luke looked at Vader, The man who killed his mentor, tortured his friends, responsible for the deaths of countless people and chopped off the had of his own son. Someone he had hardly any interaction with other than through combat and luke decided "yes. Yes I can redeem him. I sense some good in him, I can save him"
And we are expected to believe that this very same man attempted to kill kylo, his own nephew, the son of not only his twin sister but also his best friend..... All because he sensed the potential of darkness in him?
Can you see the problem now?
Not really. The amount of Darkness within Kylo fell completely outside of Luke's expectations. He tried to help Kylo, using everything he knew and nothing worked. Kylo just kept getting worse. After Vader, Luke believed he could save anyone, but when faced with failure, after failure, after failure only to finally look into Kylo's mind and see that his darkness was far greater than anything Luke had ever sensed before, it only makes sense that Luke would begin to doubt his abilities. He was forced to reevaluate his beliefs and confront the unsettling possibility that maybe this was someone he just couldn't save.
That was certainly told but not shown. Nothing from a narrative perspective has me thinking Kylo is a greater threat than Vader.
The fact that Kylo managed to subdue Luke when he was in fear for his life more than shows how dangerous he could be. Luke was a Jedi master and was overpowered by a Padawan. Now imagine if Kylo could take the power he used in desperation and draw upon it at will. He'd be a serious force to be reckoned with.
You forget that Luke also TRIED TO KILL Vader in that same movie you talk about for saying he'll try to turn Leia to the dark side. He almost does too until he sees Vader's cybernetic hand and looks at his own, realizing he's already close to becoming his father.
In the Last Jedi, Luke looked into Ben's mind and saw that Snoke had already turned him and could possibly tear down everything he had built in the last 20 years or so. And for just a moment he thinks about ending it all right then and there by killing his nephew in cold blood while he sleeps. A moment that passes quickly when he realizes how shameful that'll be and he regrets even thinking about it.
If anything this showed Luke's development and wisdom through the years. It was just unfortunate that Ben had woken up and his fear took over.
If anything I think Luke was caught unaware and not trying to fight his nephew in that scene.
All I'm saying is why couldn't Admiral Ackbar be the one in the hyperspace scene. Just imagine him looking at the First Order ships and whispering "I AM the trap"
because having a character with ackbar in its name doing a suicide run could be seen as problematic.
Could'veBeenBetterProductions Lol fair enough
That would be sooooooo awesome! I left the movies saying the same thing
Do you know what this is?
admiral ackbar got less than three minutes of screentime in the OT. he was a gag character whose physical design is too restrictive to emote strongly enough for such a serious scene.
Luke struggled with being a living legend. I’ve been saying that for years to hear somebody else say it makes me so happy
It was a big theme of Luke’s in the Old EU.
This isn’t new to Star Wars, just the films.
@Kryptoskillet exactly the point, EU Luke is the Luke that the galaxy thinks he is, not the real guy.
@@cantthinkofaname5046 And which is terrible point, as it ignores that real Luke was far closer to that, than whatever it was in TLJ.
