Meh, I enjoyed it because it was entertaining. I didn't go looking for depth, a great story, or a replacement to the movies I enjoyed as a kid. I went for a little nostalgia mixed with some CGI entertainment. I got what I went for. The bonus was that my middle daughter went with and was asking questions about the Star Wars universe afterwards, and I got to tell her about some of the history with the movies, the stories, and we even talked about how things were when I was a kid. That alone made it worth it. I learned a long time ago to not expect anything more than to be entertained. And I am easily entertained by big budget CGI. Yes, Lucas ruined the franchise. In so many ways. And yet he made Billions doing it. As much as I hate what he did to the story, I have to respect the Empire he created (pun intended). And I still have a place in my heart for Star Wars movies, so no matter how bad the movie is, I will still go and I will still get entertained. |

It isn't perfect but I really enjoyed it and thought it was easily the best of the new Star Wars movies--including Solo. --- End quote --- Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by Rogue One. Well, other than the uncanny valley Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher CGI. Those parts were unnecessary. --- End quote --- There was so much unnecessary fan service in Rogue One. The film would have been better without it. Especially crap like that quick cut to R2-D2 and C-3PO and the random encounter with the two guys from the Mos Eisley cantina. Seriously, wtf? |

I like the Rian Johnson realized he was directed into a corner with JJ's TFA. I thought it still holds up pretty well. --- End quote --- If you really like it then that's fine, but read the YT comments and wonder to yourself why you might be different than 30K + people |

First.... I don't care if 30k people plus hate TLJ. I know for a fact it is far better than any of the prequels and more original than TFA (which was a clone of ANH). You could add 100k more people to your boycott and still only affect about $1 million dollars off of the total gross. So right there shows you that fanboys are just loud. There really isn't any meat behind the complaining over a movie franchise, since the vast majority liked the film, they just don't hang out on forums all day obsessing about it. Second... I can do links too. http://www.slashfilm.com/last-jedi-backlash/ https://io9.gizmodo.com/star-wars-fans-are-why-ive-never-really-been-able-to-lo-1821232887 https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/7kb09a/what_the_hell_is_wrong_with_star_wars_fans/ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/227-movies-at-the-theater/76117882 http://toofab.com/2017/12/19/3-ways-crybaby-star-wars-fans-are-trying-to-ruin-the-last-jedi-for-everyone-else/ https://www.theodysseyonline.com/star-wars-fandom-toxicity-problem https://www.gq.com/story/star-wars-fans-are-still-the-worst And Third... As boring as Solo is, fans will always ---smurfette--- about TLJ because all of their wildest theories about how Luke should act, who Snoke is, and Reys lineage, went up in smoke because every theory idiot youtubers put forth lacked imagination, creativity, and substance. Rey being a Kenobi/Palpatine/Solo is about as dumb and close minded as you can get. It makes the universe so small, we might as well make episode 9 into a bad sitcom where everyone sleeps with everyone else and they all live in fun little apartments where Vader can build C3PO, and L3 can be the brains of the Falcon and Chewy and Yoda meet downstairs for coffee laughing about how Solo got his last name, or how Anakin turned evil because Yoda forgot to hug him more. I have read a lot of the hate, but I still would love to find out what Luke was supposed to be like in TLJ????? Was he supposed to be all excited when Rey found him???? Was he going to say something like "Well I was hiding because of..... reasons. But now that you are here lets go on an adventure!" Or was the logical ballsy choice to say "Hey I am hiding here, because I learned more about the Jedi council. I learned about the corruption, the arrogance of it all. How they ruled and tried to master the Force. Something that doesn't belong to them. I want no part in bringing that back. That is why I am hiding. I don't want to be found dipshit! That is why I hid the f**king map!" If you wanted Luke to be all gung ho and ready to face the First Order, JJ should have put Luke in a position of strength, not weakness. This decision falls right at the feet of JJ Abrams. |
