Star Wars: The Last Jedi dares to ask the question: what if star wars movies were good

I watched 8 several times before 9 came out. Haven't had a desire to watch it since seeing 9. Haven't even bothered to torrent 9. Holy fuck is it bad.

Star Wars is an abusive relationship. They gave us like what, 3 1/2 good movies? If it was a person you would have walked out a long time ago. 🤣

Adam Driver was great. A Heath Ledger Joker-like performance that tricks you into thinking the rest of the movie is as good. That said, it was the only sequel or spinoff that had anything interesting to say about Star Wars or in moving away from endless self reference. I love it.

*spinoff movie I think Andor and the first season of Mandolorian were great (Rogue One sucks I have no idea why people like it beyond nostalgia bait)

Rogue One and Andor asks that. TLR asks the question what if we had some really good ideals but just filmed the screenplay’s rough draft?

Eh, it's a bold movie but a lot of the contrarian-ness of it also makes it kind of a bad movie as a whole. Also the whole Canto Bight sequence from end to end feels extremely forced.

Bold opinion. I find it fine at best. Behind the Original Trilogy but with plenty of redeeming factors, equal to Revenge of the Sith, might I add. ....Well surely that's a perfectly fine opiion I have and not an equally contentious one.

As someone who felt mixed about the movie, at the very least it left the story in a much more interesting direction that had untold potential for the future of the franchise... and then Palpatine came back to life in Fortnite and it just turned into "RoTJ, but Worse"

What if our characters had arcs and learned and changed in ways they haven't since 1980?

Better than Rogue One! (Which I felt had such a messy plot and overall felt like a shoe-horning exercise, and am continually astonished at its popularity) 😛

I wish one director could have done all three sequel movies, and I wish it could have been Rian Johnson. The Last Jedi was the best of the three, and it really felt like he and Abbrams were fighting each other over major plot points, and the movies suffered because of it. There was no unified plan.

And then we got The Rise of Skywalker, undoing the important stuff. (The Force is not hereditary because hereditary aristocracies are bullshit.)

The backlash and flight after a major victory The unexpected mentor The offer from the dark side The shocking family revelation The untrustworthy stranger offering hope and help in a dream-like faraway city The rebels trapped in their base on a white planet by massed attack.

It’s the same basic movie, with a few bits moved around, and every reveal “subverts your expectations”. It’s just as much a rip off of ESB as TFA was of ANH. And honestly I’m surprised more people don’t notice because it was super-duper intentional.

How do you have a hyperspeed chase occurring, but then have characters on the ship being chased shoot off to another planet and then come back while the chase is still ongoing? Like, how is that possible?

is it not??? I could have sworn they were going at hyperspace speeds the whole time

The obstacle the Resistance faced was that they only had enough fuel for their capital ships for one more jump, but had realised the First Order would be able to use hyperspace tracking to follow them through the jump anyway. Probably why 'hyperspace' jumps out as the relevant term in your memory?

I swear I thought it was a hyperspace chase as they were running out of hyperspace fuel, and the shot of the canto byte team leaving the ship was them blasting off into another hyperspace stream. I did only see it once.
