i seriously like adam driver's take on the emotionally stunted villain thing, and it's the only thing the new trilogy has going for it.

Rose is loving awful, what they're doing with finn is loving awful. PORG poo poo is loving awful. What they did to Luke was loving lazy and dirty and Mark Hamill knows it as much as anyone else.

the force awakens kinda had to be a boring re-establishing setup, the followup could have been so much better.

But no, actually it turns out Rogue One is the only tolerable thing they've done with star wars so far, and the placement of the story inside existing continuity and making it about the death star and literally ending it seconds before ANH was so loving stupid!!!!!

the han solo movie might carry the tradition of the side-story being better than the main trilogy. i hope so. i like star wars' and if TLJ is an indication of what disney ultimately wants out of star wars, well things are gonna get dire.

Well said Sir.

So many things done wrong in TLJ, so many things felt forced and unnatural.
I, too, like Driver's take on Kylo, but it just couldn't blossom among all the lovely things done in TLJ.

I also enjoyed his monologue with Vader's helmet in TFW. Far from perfect, but compared to all the
poo poo we got fed in TLJ, one of the good moments in the new movies. His take on Kylo tries to make
the movie more atmospheric, which is a good thing in my book, but fails mostly because of the constant
failed attempts at humor (in TLJ) and all the rest of the lovely things done in TLJ.

I mean, you see something that gets your hopes up and you think: "maybe something good is coming next"
and then you see Leia flying like Superman and you go like... "no".... "just no". It's not just the fact that the idea
was totally idiotic, it was also directed and performed bad. From the pose of her body, to the obvious and
unwanted similarities to loving Superman, to all the poo poo that both are and seem wrong about that whole thing.

Even Yoda seemed stranger to me in TLJ. Too much maniac laughter if you ask me.
To me he seemed more like a goon I'd meat in FYAD and less like a force ghost of a Jedi Master.

So, with all these said, which are not nearly enough, I can't see how the new Solo movie can be worse than TLJ. Truth is it can't.

Why does John boyega wake up and immediately try to run away and steal a ship from his friends?

He wants to find Rey and warn her of what's going on before she comes back and gets blowed up with everyone else. Finn's sense of self at the beginning of the movie is entirely defined by his friendship with Rey. Then he goes to space Monaco and gets woke and now he's in the Resistance for himself, not just because he tagged along with Rey. His arc is stupid, but it's very straightforward and spelled out.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


The only way i am going to watch another star war film is if Disney animates it Don Bluth style. That would kick rear end.

Is there a reason why star war universe cant have a story about just some dude doing something that isnt connected to the plots of previous movies? Other than because it sucks.

Supposedly the upcoming RJ/D&D trilogies are supposed to be largely unconnected to anybody we've met before, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Last Jedi was bad. My little sister and I had a good wtf chuckle when Leias eyes opened and she zoomed triumphantly back into the plot.

And again later in the car when we picked over Laura Derns dumb plan that got most everyone killed, which would have gotten everyone killed had Rey not showed up with five minutes left in the movie.

TLJ was pretty awkward and somehow made the resistance make even less sense than it did in TFA. That said, everything with Kylo, Luke, and Rey was better than anything in TFA :shrug:

The Last Jedi is like a Joey Gallo/Adam Dunn type that strikes out a near-unacceptable percentage of the time but also connects for some monster dongs, whereas The Force Awakens is basically David Eckstein just slapping a bunch of cheap singles.

I think it was RLM who pointed out that Yoda in TLJ acts more like the persona he put on to test Luke's patience in ESB than the person he actually was.

Why did George sell Star Wars to the “white slavers” at Disney anyways? It wasn’t for the money, that all went to charity iirc. Why not just keep the franchise in his pocket and let it die with him? The only possible outcome is exactly what happened: the first new film completely obliterates the prequels in terms of quality, relegating them to the trash heap, and then the Disney machine churns our films twice a year until Star Wars becomes diluted and common. I don’t see how he came out ahead in any way

i think he probably appreciates that millions of people have a genuine love of the stories and franchise and ultimately likes the idea of new generations of families enjoying the poo poo together
