Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi

Sounds spicy.

I’ll get on Certified Copy someday.

It's much more likely than that particular score is being manipulated than that there's widespread bribery going on, particularly since someone is claiming to have done it, and because other audience metrics that are more scientific and can't be rigged are producing different results.

I don't think whether or not the word "fuel" is used should be the barometer: the question is whether the concept of fuel fits into the universe. And given that we see drives break down, and Luke whines about power converters, and all the ships are dirty and shown to roughly equivalent to intergalactic used cards (consistent with the Used Future aesthetic), I'd say it fits pretty well.

It's also something that makes more sense intuitively. The idea of limitless power is far more bizarre and speculative than the idea that, even with vastly superior technology, ships are still gonna run on something.

Saying something is bad because it hasn't happened before is essentially identical to saying the series should never be allowed to introduce new concepts.

If someone feels that way, that's fine, but they should be clear on the logical implications of their complaint: they're demanding a completely static mythos.

Hmm...interesting.

LMAO. Well played, old man.

The Last Jedi does as much good as it does bad. Completely 50/50. Yet, the 50% hurts more because when you ruin the character of Luke Skywalker you peel away at a cultural icon. That's why so many people are pissed at this movie.

They didn't ruin ****. They developed him more and people can't handle that someone from their childhood isn't as cool as they thought.

My main problems with the film (bullet points):



As I said before, I think the film was OK as a cinematic experience. It's a pretty entertaining ride.
I don't understand AT ALL how people can see this as one of the best films of the series, though. It has so many glaring flaws that keep it from being even close to great.

If that means what I think it means I actually dont care. Sort of expected it anyway. Accidentally clicked on it thinking it was a about the article urkillinme posted. It was worth it. That blog post is hilarious.

86 from Metacritic which is borderline incredible for such a film.

I think I'd rather sit through another viewing of Avatar than watch The Last Jeti again.

It's no secret that I am not a fan of the new trilogy of Star Wars, as the characters are undeveloped and come out unscathed of every challenge they face suffering no consequences in the process. Someone quoted on my last forum saying that the prequels got **** for being too different and The force awakens got **** for being to the same. But say what you will about the prequels but at least they were original and did not corrupt the perfect ending of return of the Jedi

Besides I'm okay with the prequels I thought the Phantom Menace was okay at best, The clone wars was a disappointment and revenge of the Sith was epic. But it makes me sad how many people took issue with them to the extent that they did, saying horrible things like George Lucas ruined their childhood. So it's no surprise eventually George Lucas packed up his bags and gave Disney the rights to Star Wars. Which Disney only care about getting as much products and money out of Star Wars as they possibly can.

One cast member of the last Jedi who can't hide his disappointment is none other than Mark Hamill Who has stated it's not about quality anymore it's about making money. Unfortunately there is a sad truth to that statement when it comes to the big corporations like Disney. And often in interviews Mark Hamill expresses the disappointment he felt about the last Jedi, and what Ryan Johnson did to his character Luke Skywalker saying "who is this guy"

there is also a video on YouTube of Mark Hamill being interviewed with Ryan Johnson. And as Ryan Johnson is speaking about the movie Mark Hamill looks over at him looking horrified and stunned of how is anyone really into this garbage, Which is a question I and a lot of fans of Star Wars have been asking ourselves.

But so many critics speak highly of the last Jedi which makes me feel what planet am I on.

So here are the top reasons why I hated the last Jedi

Wait, what...George gave them the rights? When did that happen; I missed the memo. He got so butt hurt at what some viewers said he gave it away? Well blow me over.

You should go to an island. Meditate over your loss.

Dani8, welcome to 2012.

1 - in-continuity

just like the force awakens the last Jedi is full of incontinuity at its worst. Ray goes to be trained by Luke Skywalker but is already perfect at the force. Getting into a scrap with Luke Skywalker at one point and even getting the better of him. Which doesn't make sense considering Luke has trained with the forces whole life and ray only heard about the forced a couple weeks ago.

But probably the most laughably terrible scene in the movie, is the scene where Princess layers ship blows up. Now you think she would get demolished or at least chopped into many pieces from the blast. But then we see her miraculously in one piece floating through space. Now if she survived all that surely the cold temperature of space would turn her into a popsicle. But no she opens her eyes and dose a Mary Poppins through space as if nothing happened. At this point in the film I was thinking is Disney trolling Star Wars fans "what the hell is going on here.

And unfortunately I think the scene was just a disrespectful tactic to pull on your heartstrings since Carrie Fisher has passed away. Needless to say I lost all respect for the movie at this point. And to be honest not even Master Yoda would've survived that crash I know Layer is a supposed to have the force just like her brother Luke. But far as we know she's had no training so pulling a stunt like that is beyond unconvincing and stupid

Can this be moved into The Last Jedi thread? We know this is going to be a megathread and all the same stuff is being said over there.

Saunch, do you think I can give my demented pug away for 4.05 billion doll hairs?

How much franchise potential does it have?
