From what I'm seeing, Rian Johnson's new trilogy is out and the ones by 'Game of Thrones' creators are in.
Bad writing.
Bad directing.
Bad movie.
Maybe it can be fixed the way the lady ghostbusters dvd was, by adding 4 more dance scenes.
There used to be a time in America where movie makers and comic writers actually wanted their fans to like their stories. Yeah, good times. Good times.
The only thing The Last Jedi lacked was a gay pride parade.
Evert Star Wars pic after Empire Strikes Back needs to be re-made.
And maybe that one too.
The Force Awakens sucks just as bad and had the same problems, you would have to re-make that also.
In the south they say football is the most important unimportant thing. On that scale Star Wars must be the least important unimportant thing. How do people get their knickers in a twist about a stupid movie?
Movie's unfair treatment of Mark Hamill = not killing him off?
Really, if you hate what's become of Star Wars there are dozens of SF franchises to choose from.
Basically, Star Wars has become GIRL POWER!!! Each new movie has featured the theme of the women straightening out/saving the Galaxy Far, Far Away from the mess men made of it.
Leia is really the brains and savior of the entire Galaxy. She is above her disillusioned Jedi Master brother who just bolted when the going got tough. A brother that made a mess of the force and botched the hard won victory over the Empire. She is the ex-wife of a smuggler that evidently never grows up. She is the mother of a whiny, ADD son who went off the rails. That poor woman is just saddled with useless men!!!
And of course we have the prequel “Rogue One” featuring a woman who manages to straighten out the entire Rebellion, call them to unity and really really really was the important person behind the entire blowing up the Death Star thingy. Her and, of course, Leia.
Followed next by the Last Jedi where we meet Luke only to discover that he is your typical bitter, lost soul Jedi Master who needed a woman, of course, a woman, to come and remind him of his sense of duty and straighten his arse out. I mean, it took him training with Master Yoda to learn the force. The chick, she just got it by magically touching a lightsaber.
Don’t forget, we have Leia and Purple Haired Admiral Chick being the adults in the room. They saved the Rebellion from those heathen men who always have to be sooo macho. If only they would get in touch with their feelings. Of course, in saving the Rebellion, they managed to get most of them slaughtered.
And of course, we have “Solo” where the entire inspiration behind our hero was, you got it, a woman who he deserted so that he could escape. Of course, it was irrelevant because GIRL POWER!!! meant said woman did not need the help of some scruffy nerf herder. She becomes the brains behind the entire operation that allows Solo to get the Mellinium Falcon, etc.
There you go!!! Star Wars remade as a #MeTo vehicle. What is next, does Leia Galactically tweet that Solo was an abusive husband or does she talk about how Jabba the Hut got a bit too feely?
Wait, I know, a prequel about Obi Wan!!! Yes, after the fall of the Republic Obi Wan took up drinking and gambling, had a family and then deserted them. In the end, a strange and powerful woman shows up to remind him of his duty.
Similar to Dr Who fandom now. At a con I attended in February, one of the series bigwigs told those of us who have a problem with casting a female as the doctor to “get over it”. In the last few years they’ve had a Master change into a Mistress, one gay (or at least bi) male character, and three lesbians. I predict The Doctor will never be a white male again.
From what I'm seeing, Rian Johnson's new trilogy is out and the ones by 'Game of Thrones' creators are in.
The surprising thing would have been if these movies were anything like as good as the original.
So Hamill is again showing his lib side rather than being true to his apparent disgust with the story line?
I have only one PC trait, being a woman.
I despise the PCness.
I actually don’t mind having “diverse” characters (but not homo or Moslem - LOL what a pair that would be), but they are SO SELF-CONSCIOUS about this, as is every lib, and it doesn’t fit in with the original set.
The original wasn’t that diverse. We had a woman (who actually was strong, not just a shell of a tough girl), and we had a pseudo-black guy who isn’t quite the normal black guy in traits. So we had something, but not over much.
Then, to make PREquels AND sequels that are suddenly MORE diverse by spades than the pieces that fit in the middle is absurd.
If you’re going to add diversity, please just add a new type of person here or there. Don’t throw a ton of them in. It smacks of non-reality.
"Star Wars The Last Jedi Fixed it For You Fan Edit"
Found it on bitchute in very good quality, but you may have to look elsewhere to find it as they are purging it hard.
It wasn’t the actors that made it bad; although some could have done better. It was poorly written. Most of all it was all the SJW crap that made it the worst SW movie yet. The Han Solo movie was much better even though it too had a little SJW crap.
This thing in Hollyweird of making women the hero all the time just isn’t going to cut it.
The idiots are the ones complaining about the actors. The real problem is the story and it is not just the last movie, although it was dramatically worse than the previous one.
They, along with their minions have ruined the franchise brand, poisoned the well and totally alienated the overwhelming majority of their once deeply loyal fan base.
And their ongoing "solution" is to rabidly attack, and spit on their totally disenfranchised fan base... like that plan is going to help save the franchise, NOT!
They can put together some sort of “remake’ but it will never be seen because they don’t own the rights to produce it.
The only good thing I can say about TLJ is that it at least didn’t completely rehash The Empire Strikes Back, unlike TFA regarding A New Hope. Otherwise, it was pretty much a stinker overall due to being more overtly political than even the prequel trilogy, not to mention outright breaking story elements.
As it is, remaking it is going to be impossible after Carrie Fisher died during production, so sad to say, I don’t think we CAN do it.
And yeah, it’s getting irritating that they are attacking the fanbase. Seriously, as much as I really hated that game for how it needlessly ruined Samus and Adam, the guys who did Metroid: Other M had far more class than the current guys at Lucasfilm. When that game proved to be a sales disaster for the Metroid franchise, they didn’t insult the fans by accusing them of being “fearful of women” or anything like that. Far from it, they went out and asked in person why they didn’t buy it and what they found bad about it. Besides, a good rule of thumb regarding making products for people and selling them is to never, EVER insult your customers. That’s actually a fireable offense at various restaurants. And for good reason: if you insult them, you drive customers away, and with them, any money you and your company might make. Unfortunately, to fix this problem, we need to do far more than just have Paul Kemp, Chuck Wendig, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnston, or even Kathleen Kennedy fired (and believe me, ALL of them had attacked the fanbase). This needs to go straight to the top, we need to get Bob Iger himself fired like his predecessor Michael Eisner. Let’s not forget that he didn’t fire that Jemele Hall lady when she went on that anti-Trump screed on ESPN and claimed she was “an angry black woman” despite her explicitly violating protocol. And he’s had three failures in a row right now: Last Jedi, Solo, and the Wrinkle in Time movie, so that’s another reason he needs to be fired, since he’s getting Disney to lose money.
