WorldClassBullshitters I'm sure some idiot will accuse me of hating women but I don't hate women however they really shouldn't be the majority of the staff writing stuff that is geared towards men.
If you think about it, Disney buying Star Wars from Lucas is like the senate scene where Palpatine declared the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire.
iudfr Depends if we'll see our version of the republic revived from the ashes of the empire (Disney). I think at this point, the fans are the rebellion (to an extent I guess) wanting to revive the Republic (The Franchise).
And everyone applauded when Disney bought Star Wars and yet I was like Padme thinking "This is how creativity and originality dies. With thunderous applause." Say what you want about Lucas, but at least he was creative, original, and was willing to take risks and push new filming techniques. Disney is just going to milk Star Wars until it is nothing but dust.
Even though he had to sell toys, Lucas still had integrity. It was a part of his life, not just a job. He could've keep on pumping out movies after ROTJ, but he didn't. Even if he did the third trilogy himself, he wouldn't have oversatured the market like Disney and I'm sure he would have planned better than Disney. The state of the non-movie content was also better under his oversight. Disney cancelled Clone Wars and Lucasarts is not making games anymore.
Just so long as the beneficiaries are always women, Chris! Remember, such a hiring policy is only 'problematic' when men benefit. Women getting hired purely because of their gender though is perfectly fine. Obviously. I love 21st century 'equality', don't you? ;)
The fact that Kathleen Kennedy wears shirts like “The Force is Female” says it all. She is mad with power and in this PC climate Hollywood has today its open season for far leftists to run a mock. She shouldn’t be proud of how many women are on the story group, she should care whether the stories they come up with for Star Wars are mythological like it was meant to be. She promised George Lucas that she would honor the characters he created when he made her president of Lucasfilm before selling it to Disney but obviously she lied. She pushed George out, betrayed what he intended for the sequel trilogy and decided to push her feminist supremacy on the rest of the world. Dear Kathy maybe some men weren’t so nice to you years ago but why did you have to come along under false pretenses and destroy what Star Wars fans men and women loved? Why?!!!
Funny how someone chastises me for misspelling one word on my unedited comment but their reply is edited. Excuse me for being imperfect but you sir seem just a little hypocritical to say the least. Yeah my brain cells like many don’t best right before going to sleep but at least I can still present an unedited argument with valid points not just an idiotic insult based on a gotcha of a simple spelling mistake.
Oh and by the way Jose masturbasement isn’t a word either since you love talking nonsense. But maybe you invented said word since perhaps you are familiar with doing so in your mother’s basement. I don’t know but that would make sense...LOL! Thanks for a good laugh
Though Amok is the common spelling in the 21st Century (It's also the word in Dutch) Amuck still correlates as modest minority of uses for example Duffy Duck used that spelling and so did early 20th century Author H. W. Fowler. I had only heard the amuck spelling until I noticed the different one on the Star Trek Episode Amok time. So it might be archaic or atypical but it's not actually "Wrong" any more than Lit and Lighted are. (both are legitimate) As for a Muck (with a gap) or Amock (with a C in it) you lost me there. 'run a Mock' sounds like something a Medieval Jester would do though - so if it isn't a word perhaps it should be ? as it describes the action of running around mocking people - quite well I'd say.
Don't let it get to you, I rarely post on YT, but wow, Jose hunter's response to you was one of the most pointless, butthurt posts I've ever read, and that is saying quite a bit. All they accomplished was proving they are they typical SJW. Misguided feelings, no logic, and absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.
No kylo will transition into a women, because otherwise too much toxic masculinity will surround rey and rose, after that poe will be demoted and rose will be promoted to his new squadron leader. With finn being given a promotion, but playing subordinate to a brand new female general or admiral relegated to her assistant or errand boy. And not actually being allowed to be his own man. And star wars will have a groundbreaking progressive first a inter-species marriage as chewbacca marries a porg, with force ghosts han, leia and luke in tears crying over how beautiful a moment it is. They might as well go balls to the walls full on social justice activism, they already flung the door wide open with episode 8 and the heavy political preaching and men are incompetent agenda.
Why not create a political Star Wars story where you have a new character who is driven mad by the oppression of the Empire and he has to live in terror that if he makes death threats against his school and such, or politicians, or the Emperor, he might be sent to prison. But he has a compulsion to publicly make the death threat and it drives him insane with rage. Also, he can't lash out because selfish people in his society, to impede dumb criminal aliens from robbing their houses put up security cameras everywhere. The aliens are there because of multiculturalism enforced by the empire. So because these selfish people don't want their fucking TV's stolen they put up security cameras everywhere and now when this tortured character wants to lash out by damaging something, he can't because he'll be caught on camera. It makes it impossible to rebel against society when cameras are everywhere. Think of how my James Grider character is in my novel "Impact" on Amazon that people should buy so I can afford a used car.
I am so happy to talk to my students today who are Asian females who hates the movie and saw right through the use of Vietnamese actresses as a way to pander to the Chinese market! Not one of my Asian students liked this movie.
If anything, the Asian character was insulting to Asians due to how big of a detriment she was to the story. It's even worse than the movie trope of racial stereotypes because at least that has been used in creative ways.
This very thing irritated my female Asian students...especially the Vietnamese since they knew the actress is Vietnamese (but cast to pander to the China market). China has wuxia movies with strong females and have no need for this crap
What would you expect, other than her turning into the jedi focus? She was supposed to be the ordinary girl seemed to me. Not everyone can play Rey. I suppose Disney should never cast Asians any more because any role but jedi is an insult! And to think there wasn't an American indian at all, among many racial types. She just turned into a sidekick for one of the heroes. I guess the other Star Wars movies were better because there were no Asians - absurd. With an ounce of patience, maybe she will turn into something more? You think?
Too bad all the new characters in Rebels are shit. The only good parts are the ones with Ahsoka, Darth Vader and Admiral Thrawn. Which is a few episodes at best.
The Last Jedi not only felt small-scale like an episode of Rebels “we are running out of gas with bad guys chasing us!”, they lifted wholesale the scene where our heroes follow friendly animals to escape a cave where they are trapped.
The best part about that scene was that he said it to the most annoying actress ever... The same actress that single-handedly made me stop watching the show Dexter in the 2nd or 3rd season. But yeah, As Good as it Gets is my all-time favorite chick-flick... AKA, the only one I can say I enjoy watching...
i cant stop laughing at all my friends who called me a hater, i told them the min Lucus sold to Disney this would happen. But they just saw star wars coming out and got all excited, they were blinded that a corporation now was making a IP to sell to sheep and no longer one mans artistic vision of a story. Now they realized i was right all along. SW is dead and vote with your wallets people.
Bob Reno Well considering JJ Abrams loved the script/story to Episode VIII so much, that he actually wished he could Direct it.... www.cinemablend.com/new/Big-Reason-J-J-Abrams-Regrets-Directing-Star-Wars-Episode-VIII-101767.html Not to mention...both Kathleen Kennedy and JJ produced and signed "ok" for Rain Johnsons version..... As much as I hate TLJ, I like and respect it more than the copy and paste crap that JJ did with TFA.... Considering JJ chose Simon Pegg as consultant over the Creator, George Lucas himself, I have no hope nor time for that bloody Charlatan and the other Mountebanks running the franchise
The real dropoff is going to be for the NEXT movie. Most people saw it on the opening weekend before the word was out how bad it was. As long as the SJWs at Disney keep making money they can do whatever they want, but ultimately they are responsible to shareholders and they will be sacked if profits dwindle.
The "Legends" will NEVER die. Kyle Katarn exists, Mara Jade exists and is married to Luke Skywalker and many more are, personally, canon to me. This new canon can eat bantha poodoo.
Kyle Katarn: The guy who stole the Death Star plans and lived to tell the tale. The guy who is no Jedi, just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions. The guy who uses said lightsaber along conventional blasters and explosives. The guy who has seen both sides of the Force and is not afraid to electrify his enemies while healing and protecting himself and his allies. Bring him back, dammit. Bring. Him. Back!!
Davien Clefton It warms my heart to hear someone is equally as outraged and hurt by Disney’s foray into retconning the best Star Wars stories of all time. If not for all the “canon” bull crap peddled by Disney, Star Wars would still be fresh and innovative. Not only did the Walt Disney Company take years of hard work from authors, game developers, and cartoonists and flushed it all down the toilet, they also managed to destroy the mystery and the fantasy of Star Wars. Now, they’ve turned it all into bland, cliched, and agenda-oriented material that is good for nobody. Keep hoping and praying my friend, for we may just see the EU continued in all of its unique glory. 🙂
Have you guys seen the Video of Mark Hamill and Rian Johnson after the Premiere of The Last Jedi? Mark mirrors Darth Vader, when he throw the Emperor to his death. The exact same expressions in body and Face, it really is like Poetry!
Star Wars has been my religion since I was old enough to watch movies (born in 1978, btw). I really can't believe that Disney has done the impossible in making me not care when the next Saga movie comes out. Incredible. It only took them two films to get me there. After the prequels, that's a hell of a trick.
These sequel films have really made me appreciate the prequels more, they were not very good, but at least they were trying to do something new and good.
I saw The Last Jedi - and what struck me first and foremost was how it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. None of the characters behaved the least bit like sentient humans. The succession of events depicted on screen was so utterly disjointed and inconsequential, I felt like I was watching a collage of unrelated GIF files overlaid with surrealist noises and schizophrenic dialogue. Such a bizarre and alienating experience, I seriously began to question my own sanity. I felt like a visiting space alien struggling to comprehend the concept of "movie" ... at which point I recognized that it was the film itself that didn't understand the concept of "movie". I sincerely think this film was made by clinically insane people.
SirToby Or you could admit that the lack of continuity and character arcs is objectively bad for storytelling. Rotten Tomatoes audience score down to 49%. Before you go barfing up the fake news about some guy using bots to spam negative reviews, Rotten Tomatoes has publicly stated that the score is genuine after reviewing their data.
Mors Coronam ??? When did I say TLJ was a competent movie? But I'm not going to applaud an alt-right media site like Dangerous.com for saying so. I don't need validation from a gang of sociopaths.
where was the equality ?? every man in the movie was a bad character and needed a woman to femsplain to them what is the right way to do things. Thats not equality that is feminist supremacy
Nothing Kathleen has done with Star Wars has been creative. All she has done is be safe. From the movies, to even the comics and books (the tv show Rebels is actually not bad), Star Wars has just been repeating its past. Nothing has really jumped out as being a must read or see. We have not had a KotoR, a Thrawn Trilogy, a Legacy (comic series), Republic Commando, etc. under Kathleen. Maybe it will just take more time, but it is clear she has no interest in telling interesting stories or taking risks. Lucas always took risks with Star Wars. He always tried to do something different. Even when it did not work, I respected him for being one of the few people in Hollywood who wanted to try and be original. Right now, I would greatly prefer another Prequel like trilogy. At least they were entertaining, had some interesting ideas, and what came out of them in terms of books, comics, tv shows, and games, were absolutely amazing.
The (now legends) novelizations of the Clone Wars and the Republic comics from dark horse really captured the era and honestly came to define the intrigue part of the prequel era storytelling. Even if you thought the PT were shit, the goodness is here. Especially when you consider Bail Organa's speech in republic 63 about defending the constitution and not handing more of the power over to a single man. Which in retrospect could explain a lot of why the SJW femnazis and Kathleen Kennedy seem to have a stake in their own political preaching...All at the cost of the larger story elements of universal heroism and valor which originally made SW relate-able to everyone in its fledgling years.
It wasn’t ‘safe’ to trash Star Wars and turn it into SJW filth, as we are seeing now. Lucas took risks and gave us the prequel trilogy but hey at least he planned out a trilogy instead of random pick a card from a hat story telling.
TyranusRex721 Star Wars has a world of stories/eras. Instead of telling them, they are doing these anthologies BS movies. I love Obi Wan but he was a Jedi his whole life. What can possiblly be told about his life? He was a padawan under Q, then a Master and all of his adventures where with Anakin, then he got hermit to care for Luke. Are they going to talk of his adventures in Tatooine? Oh please! Luke said the man was a hermit. Give us the times before the prequels. Where the Jedi come from (Jed'aii, Tython force storm which by the way have fierce female warriors). It would be cool to see these ancient Jedis. Give us that and leave the Skywalkers be. KK want 'to expand' Star Wars around the same characters? Bye bitch!
Now 90%/49% and still dropping.(Rotten Tomatoes scores) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 93%/96% Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 94%/97% Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 80%/94% Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 55%/59% Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 66%/57% Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79%/65% Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) 93%/88% Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) 85%/87% Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 90%/49%(Just dropped to 49% Huston, I think we have a problem!)
and the only reason The farce awakens got such good scores was cuz it was pretty much original Star Wars redone in a much worse fashion but everyone was starving for star wars back then. Why people wouldn't just go rewatch the original instead of this rehashed garbage is beyond me.
I can't believe TFA is rated as highly by the press as ANH is... only explanation is they thought they were shown ANH again, which is a pretty understandable mistake I suppose.
The people making these movies, including Rian Johnson, don't understand the extensively researched Joseph Campbell mythology Star Wars is based on. That's why the original trilogy was such a hit when it came out in the 1970's and 1980's.
collegeman1988 once you think about it, Luke is almost identical to a Greek hero: born of a human mother and divine father, flees from his home at a young age, goes on a series of inhuman tasks, and finally helps overthrow a tyrannical king. In essence, he's a modern day reinvention of Jason or Perseus. Really makes this travesty all the more tragic.
The Indominable Dr. Buttlove And what’s even more interesting is that Star Wars all came about because George Lucas was unable to get the rights to Flash Gordon. So, not only did he create his own Flash Gordon type character, he tapped into the essence of what makes a hero. A hero that has an appeal to all cultures.
Kennedy shouldn’t have been put in charge of Lucasfilm. She’s ruining the characters we loved growing up with and helping shape a story and characters that are absolute garbage. All done for feminism. I don't give a shit that most of the writers staff is women, as long as they're qualified writers and got the job due to there writing abilities. But if this is what the women on her staff are coming up with, then this is just shit and proves they were clearly hired because of their gender and nothing else. Meanwhile, she doesn’t seem to get men are more interested in Star Wars then women are. You think you’d want to appease your main demographic, but Kennedy says fuck that, we’re not going to make something for them to like, because they’re men. Third Wave Feminism is truly awful. Just complaining about privileges they have. Go to a third world country then see if you actually have it rough over here in America. George Lucas isn’t the best at writing dialogue, yet was able to make stories that were amazing. Since Star Wars is a space opera and would have melodramatic writing and acting, that fit with his writing abilities and made Star Wars stand out among other Sci-Fi and Fantasy films. Kennedy and her team don’t seem to get that and only care about female power and nothing more. Story and real character development are gone just so a woman can come in and prove she’s as good as any man, if not better in every way. It’s evident that they have no clue about Star Wars at all.
Jared Wignall women generally are not as creative as men are in terms of writing stories and even making inventions the progress of humanity has always been guided by men. I prefer men's written storylines they don't seem like fantasy bad fan fictions.
lmaginaryfriend3199 it crept in fast, but is slowly killing it by killing off beloved characters, of which is seemingly by any means necessary. Of which they made it obvious that they wanted to fuck away all the previous lore and films with this bull shit. Not even the Star Wars comics are safe, even they have been infected by this feminist bs. Though they're being written by Marvel, who has been fucking shit up already with feminism, so not exactly surprising they would do the same shit with Star Wars. Of which guess who/what is now usually the focus of attention?!!?!?!? Is it A) Darth Vader? B)Darth hunting down "wanted" female Jedi? Or C) All of the above?
lmaginaryfriend3199 It's C)! Darth Vader is the main focus, but is hardly gone into focus and us more on focus of female "threats" to the Empire because they have some random information that could fuck up the Empire or something they could use. Plus there's as well a random annoying side kick Vader out of no where decides to keep. Of which she's then to be revealed a lesbian and has several fuckin pages dedicated to discussing her lesbian relationship.
She had to rig the writing staff to get that disparity between men and women. Which means she willingly and clearly discriminated, and is getting rewarded and praised for it. Not a fan of Star Wars, never have been, but damn. Kathleen Kennedy is going full Muhammad Atta with this franchise.
Ah Kathleen and her female staff came out with the force is now female shirts if there politcal message hadnt been seen heard or understood in the movie.. Edit i am glad your not a star wars fan as i am an old star wars fan ( first film i saw in cinemas was return of the jedi after watching the others on VHS) and the massive departure they have done from the films is painful . there were thousands of hours of reading on the extended universe with some amazing stories amongst them ( and some crap ones) plenty of material to make good movies but nope we are making that all non cannon which i never understood until seeing TLJ as they had a very political plan with the films.
I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan my whole life, but when I walked out of the theater after seeing The Last Jedi, a little part of me died. No Star Wars film has done that to me yet (even though The Force Awakens sucked too). Something needs to be done about the tyranny of Disney, the poor decisions made by lucasfilm and ESPECIALLY Kathleen Kennedy.
To be fair The Last Jedi might be a tiny tiny tiny bit better than the Clone Wars Movie or the Ewoks Movies. & it's certainly better than the Glorious disaster that is the Holiday Special (though I do actually like Bea Arthur's section) : th-cam.com/video/D6K6ETASu1E/w-d-xo.html
90 Lancaster wrong this movie literally killed my joy of Star Wars. I have faithfully paid to see every movie in the theaters multiple time until this nonesense. I will never again spend anything on star wars. This movie killed the entire franchise just wait an see.
It's more important to recognize that none of the new movies have anything that make them specifically memorable. Even if people concede that the prequels had a few really bad moments, there are a ton of other scenes from the prequels that if I saw them in passing, I'd know exactly what movie that was. Meanwhile if you ran segments of the modern movies, I probably couldn't tell you specifically which one was which without some additional context.
Agreed. They had some low points but also high points - primarily because Lucas knew he wasn't good with dialogue but his strength was non-verbal storytelling (visuals, music, sounds). And unique designs, of course, especially TPM (Doug Chiang was really talented).
Yes, Lucas never lacked for imagination and drawing from sources other than his own previous films. Disney seems incapable of charting truly new ground, but damn do they know how to copy from the earlier SW films without understanding how or why it worked.
Yeah, at least the prequels had competent, threatening villains. Maul killed Quigon and almost killed Obi-Won, Dooku wrecked both Obi-Won and Anakin in a 2v1, Grievous was 2 seconds away from skewering Obi-Won, and Palpatine ultimately won and genocided the prequel good guys as the ultimate villain that made a cultural impact (even if a lot of that is 'Unlimited Powaaaa!' memes). Each one of these did more and were memorable than gold robed Gollum, emo Vader cosplayer, generic officer dude, and slightly differently geared stormtrooper all combined.
I agree. But the problem is that when Katleen was put in charge of Lucasfilm everybody was lauding about "female empowerment", that "The Force is female", etc. And now they are removing their vaginas from the shit storm. No. If women can make great things just because they're women then when those same things go south their gender should also be held accountable. I suggest next time they (and others) present their cases for their merits not because of their genitalia. Although that's probably asking too much of professional feminists.
And if you read the positive reviews they are so fabricated. I guarantee you if Rotten Tomatoes didn't have those false positive reviews then the score would be 30 or lower! The Last Jedi sucked!!!! It's a very sad day for Star Wars fans knowing that this feminist Kathleen Kennedy is going to ruin it into the ground.
Episode 9 starts with Finn, Rose, Rey and Kylo sitting at a table discussing things. All of a sudden Benicio Del Toros character from Sicario walks in sits down, has a nice chat with them and then bullets to the head. He walks out and we get a movie filled with new characters and story. xD
Even if you ignore the plot holes, the horrible treatment of the original characters/universe and the BS gender obsessed politics- this movie is still depressing to watch. I left the theater feeling just down about life. That’s not a feeling I would go back and pay money to experience again. That’s what my bathroom mirror is for.
Lucas provided us with a beautiful escape from the real world. TLJ provides us with a depressing reminder of 21st century politics and the dire state of screenwriting in Hollywood.
If you ignore the plot holes, the horrible treatment of the original characters/universe and the BS gender obsessed politics - there is nothing left of the movie.
Samuel Lund Hahahahaha...wait for some breath intake...hahahahahaha! Thanks body, you gave me my first few laughs since I went to see TLJ on opening night! Disney will be hard pressed to get my money on anything "the new KK order" has created!
I think they will listen to some critics at least. I mean they managed to create rogue one, which isn't a bad movie. And china dropping last jedi out of 92% of the cinema is definately something about 100 Million $ less revenue, so they will try to please that audience better in the future. I just don't know if Kathleen and the other writers can come up with something interesting and consistent withing the SW universe. :/
Snoke and Kylo were a smoke screen for the True Sith. Darth Binks and Apprentice Rose, the real rule of two members. We all know Darth Binks is at the center of it all. His apprentice, Rose, is secretly killing off the Resistance under the guise of "not fighting what we hate (not killing First Order personnel, preserving First Order military strength)" and "saving what we love (sacrificing many to save a few, diminishing Resistance military strength."
That is because they published so many titles - that some of those titles get outsold by IDW is a bit embarrassing of itself especially as IDW are just as fruity as Marvel is. That Marvel has Movies regularly selling a $Billion and yet it can not capitalise on that with the comics (or at the very least the Trades) is down to agenda farming, excessive "events", Distalf Characters like Silk and to much repetition and reboots. Common sense should tell you that The Avengers is what you should be pushing not 'Not-Hulks' & The most Embarrassing Hero (short of Squirrel Girl & Kamala Khan) - 'Captain Marvel'
I love how they boast about having 50% plus women on the story board team, when the story and continuity has categorically never been worse. Yeah, great job setting back feminism 20 years.
Dangerous.com appears to be Milo Yianoppoulos's website. He's a former editor at Breitbart and became famous for debating feminists and SJW while being flamboyantly gay. So this article is not a surprise from his site. Still, a good article.
almost christian He was also famous for running a scam charity ("the privilege grant") and advocating sexual relationships between minors and adults in positions of authority.
That last claim is a bit more doubtful. I do recall Yiannopoulos recounting his experiences with a priest as a teenager. It sounded more like he was trying to deal with it, rather than advocating for it.
I dont like Milo. But I can respect the points the guy who wrote this is trying to make. The criticism is valid. Fuck this movie and its writers. Lets not get riled up over who wrote this because its irrelevant. Hitler could've written this shit. Stalin could, George Bush... and I'd still agree that whats happening to Star Wars is not at all what the franchise used to be about. Politics should stay the fuck away from star wars in this form. Used to be about freedom and tyranny. Fair game. But they just had... to fuck up.
I just want to see a good in depth story with likeable characters that face legit and hard trials. I want to see the characters change by the trials they face, beat the bad guy with a hard fought fight and go through a fun, tough, and exciting journey. It doesn't matter whether it's a guy or a girl as long as they have the necessary factors not only to be a good character but make it a good story. This is not the case for star wars. Rey has had no trials like luke had. She is not interesting at all. She doesn't have to work for anything or learn the force. All the side characters like fin, poe and rose suck and make jar jar look like an interesting character. Good video jeff couldn't agree with you more.
You know what's worse? ONE character was actually going through all that in TFA (Finn), but then in TLJ all that was thrown out the window to turn him into a joke shadow of what he once was. I loved Finn in TFA, but god damn did all of that character development get tossed and out shit on in TLJ.
The prequels (yes all three) were horribly written. This is nothing new, just more of the same. Star Wars should have been done in 1983 and never revisited in film.
some dialogues could use rewriting but the prequels had a story and a plot that was going somewhere. The motivations of the characters were simple, but understandable. What exactly the goal of this trilogy? To destroy everything that was achieved by the big three? It's like Lucas said, they wanted to make a retro movie because the nostalgia and didn't even care about the plot and characters.
Lucas seemed to never understand quite where he was going with the prequels, writing each individually rather than laying out all three as he had intended to do initially. Anakin’s motivations for turning to the dark side changed with each film as a result, and the storytelling was incredibly sloppy (Sifo Dyas, anyone?). It’s ok, we are allowed to criticize the current films without pretending the prequels were not massive disappointments.
The difference I perceive is this: the prequels were an earnest effort executed poorly; the sequels are a conscious and deliberate effort to root out established themes and ideas. The former is a failure; the latter is propaganda.
Look, there are fellow women, like me, who thinks this latest movie is crap. My husband and I have three sons and I am all for them being a success. None of them live at home, they all have successful careers. Wow, and we are still married, two of the sons are married and one is engaged and the spouses and fiancée are women. Who would have thought?!? The movie has good cinematography and music, but the plot is in the toilet. The Prequils were not the greatest movies, but they moved the plot along. But the Last Jedi is the worst, Rogue One was better. What they did to Luke Skywalker and Leah and (and how they killed off Han Solo in the Force Awakens) was terrible. People go to movies to come out feeling better than when they went in, Disney has forgotten this. Real life is worth escaping from, but I guess when you have a huge income like Kathleen Kennedy, you are as out of touch with reality as possible.
it seem that the writes of both TFA & TLJ are trying to appeal to too many audiences . Kids , women , fanboys , plain SW fans (like me) , the PC army and fucking Porgs . we like Rogue 1 because it was made for adult fans and has drama , substance and a gritty reality. i felt sry for the characters at the end because i could almost feel the pain of their struggle . i dont give 1 damn fig for this Rey super girl because we know that what ever happens she will be fine and will win .
want a decent story for 9 ? > Rey become over confident and arrogant with her new power and it goes to her head causing her to fall to the dark side and become 1 motherfucking evil Sith bitch . Ren sees this and becomes so afraid of her terrible female power he returns to the light , where he comes from , in a effort to defeat her . add 1 hr of pointless filler with poe ,finn, shrek(asian chick) , porgs , gay droids , ect . done -"its a wrap " as the late Akabar would have said. all thoughts welcome.
Spone Mr For years the country's been being programmed by TV news and sitcoms. I just don't watch TV anymore. Now they realize that they are not getting their Liberal Gospel out to the world. People go to the movies to enjoyment, not to be preached to. Yes, it would be difficult to find a church which would preach this rhetoric, perhaps Wicca. What has kept America afloat and why it prospered was that people stayed together to raise their kids and educated them, mostly it was Christian morals. Now people are just using one another and if there is a baby, the mother doesn't even seem to care. I have to tell you, the SWJ's idea of how to shape the world of the future is the "Nightmare Before Christmas". Loads of kids are being raped by boyfriends who care nothing for children who aren't theirs. This is no way for kids to grow up and ever be a success, they are often permanently broken. But they can't get their New World Order unless they destroy the United States. You are rooting for poverty.
EA is a total rip-off, they do not stand by their games they do not stand by their convictions you do not stand by their words every time I sell a game and it screws up and you call him on it they die virtue to a representative after representative into their forms where no one answers they do not give a s*** I will never buy another EA game again
I don't think he has the business acumen to run Lucasfilm with that said he should certainly be the Star Wars lore master and be in charge of any new Episodes with an advisory role for anthology films.
Filloni has fucked some shit up too. Mainly Grievous and the clones. I only say the clones because for some reason TCW is in legends continuity too and it just doesn't work. He really doesn't know how to make good villains.
Thing is, dceu has more of a chance than this dumpster fire called Disney's Star Wars. DCEU at least had directors cuts to fall back on in case they dont do well theatrically but thats only because WB cut batman v superman and suicide squad in the first place. they also have a soft reboot button called the flash. Now star wars on the other hand, there's no fixing after the last jedi. they threw themselves into a corner. there wont be a directors cut to save it either. no such thing as rebooting star wars and just saying those two things in the same sentence leaves a bad taste in my mouth. star wars started off as movies first and no amount of comics or novels are going to change this unless george or someone buys back star wars and declares these non canon which is highly unlikely.
And Kevin Smith didn’t have a bad word to say about it in his review. Don’t forget that either. He couldn’t stop talking about how amazing every scene was, it was disgusting. Lost respect and any trust in him. Total bias like the rest of the media (outside of a select few).
these r the ppl who give every CoD game an 8 tho, and they're the ppl who gave Alien Isolation a 5.9 because "the ai was too unpredictable" IGNorant lost their credibility looooong ago
Opening scene will be somebody explaining to Han what a parsec is. Then he'll shoot them. First. And, by golly, we just might be off to the races. (as it were.)
And here I was hoping it'd be a collage of stuff about Han. Like how he won the falcon from Lando, or what it was that he did that made Boba Fett hate his guts, or how he met/rescued Chewie. If they're really making it about the Kessel Run (there was a comic that already covered that, if I'm not mistake), then yeah. That movie is doomed.
The explanation is pretty simple (so Disney will naturally screw it up) Parsec is a measure of distance not time - so the LOGICAL explanation is that The run (hopefully by Han or at the least Lando) is completed in a Unit of distance of of under 12 Parsecs. (about 39 Light years). So the way I heard it explained is that navigable space from the Kessel region is full of navigation hazards that means routes are hard to find and travel to the delivery destination of the Spice takes a long time and having to go out of your way and make many many jumps maybe even doubling back on yourself at points. Han found a quicker way - a more dangerous way so lets pluck a figure out of the air and say your average deliver took X number of jumps and a distance or 70 Light years travelled and 30 or 40 longer in time travelled. Han found a dangerous route that cut the distance travelled down to 12 Parsecs (the as the crow flies distance might be even shorter than 12 - maybe 8 or 6 - but it's impossible to traverse in a straight line. So that is Han's (?) Achievement not one of speed but one of navigation - the problem is he addresses it as if it's one of speed ( "a Fast Ship ?!) "- which is indeed a mistake. .
The Last Jedi spent 3 weeks at #1 at the box office, then fell to 3rd place being bested The Jumanji remake and Insidious 4(Perhaps Darth Sidious striking back?). Great job KK! Congratulations, you suck!!
Hey, at least you know why Anakin hated sand... And that he had no experience with girls. What exactly is the point of that scene? To remind a viewer that only women can make a sacrifice?
local news here ran a segment about the Rotten Tomatoes audience score being low was a hate crime. Here I was thinking "Have you considered the possibility that the movie was bad?"
There is an in-story parallel between the story group and the female-helmed Resistance. It would appear that most of the men have been killed off, leaving the likes of Vice Admiral Dolores Umbridge in charge, leading to failure after failure. How convenient that the established command staff (including the well-beloved, yet summarily-dispatched Admiral Ackbar) are wiped out at a blow, except Leia, who in saving herself while unconscious and dying in a vacuum reveals that she is a witch with an invisible broom. At any rate, in wartime, decisive action trumps "faith and hope," but the utter failure of the old notions of unified action against adversity has given way to hierarchical elitism and a frank disrespect for the actual war-makers (sound familiar?) I frankly cheered when Poe announced his mutiny (one of the only high points in the film spoiled by the fact that NOBODY bothered to disarm those relieved of command). More of the same coming, year after year, as the crown jewel of pop culture is wielded as a blunt instrument by those seeking to promote their socio-politicial agenda. =-[.]-=

If Lucas Film, or any business rather, takes diversity over a person's qualifications, they'll fail. This movie is a direct example of it. The Last Jedi will be the catalyst to the fall of Star Wars. Not because of how bad it is, but because of the ignorance and delusion of Kathleen Kennedy. When you focus of social justice rather than putting out quality content, it's going to come back to bite you... I predict she's out of the picture in 2 and a half years. Summer 2020.
The remake/sequel trend in Hollywood is bad. Coupled with SJW is worst. I am a woman. I looooove all kinds of movies. The damn SJW in Hollywood and their hate of moral values/love and all that ended the diversification in Hollywood. The only type of movies that is surviving beyond blockbusters sequels/remakes are horror movies (are we going to get a IT 2 too?). I love comedies? Where are they? I love rom-coms. Where are they? That shit Fifty Shade of Grays is not romance by the way.
I get the feeling that Disney heads will pull a “BattleFront 2” at the last minute when Star Wars is tanking either with the solo movie or the third movie of the fan fiction characters ep 9
When you mentioned about political message not jiving with Star Wars universe, I think it's because Star Wars ALREADY made that case, but in a more subtle, successful manner. It didn't need to ram it down our throats. Leia was already an empowered female character. Lando was already an empowered non-white character. The Empire already represented everything wrong in society. The messages were there, but intertwined with the story so as not to pose as a distraction. However, the latest films are very blatant - very obvious. It's too obvious that it's a distraction. The narrative itself has become sacrificed. In fact, the narrative now serves to reinforce these themes rather than tell a coherent story that INCORPORATES these themes. Lastly, just because the staff is made out of women today doesn't make it any more inclusive than when staffs were made mostly of men back in the day. As a woman, I'm annoyed by the hypocrisy I see happening. We women used to criticize the large amount of terrible scantily-clad female characters in films and books - mostly because they were being written by men FOR men. Now? We're getting emasculated eye-candy male characters written by women FOR women. It's sexism no matter how you dice it. We are still undermining the opposite sex by means of demeaning or belittling them. It's only when the sexes are both given a voice and respect that great characters can emerge. For the Terminator series, it was joint effort between James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd that gave us well developed female AND male characters. For Star Wars, it was the joint effort between George Lucas and Carol Titelman that gave us well developed female AND male characters. Nearly every one of Sigourney Weaver's film has given her a voice and opportunity to flesh out her characters, including Ghostbusters. As a result, we see empowered women who hold their own while giving not undermining the male characters. In the end, today's feminist movement is committing the same sins they fought against. They've stared at the abyss for TOO long and have emerged as the new monster.
Feminism has reached Imperial status. It is now riddle with heresies, shunned traitors, "toxic enemies", pompous orthodoxies, high-priestesses and some clueless naked empresses. That alone is the proof that men and women are basically the same thing. Ironic way of proving that but there it is. One more thing: if they are so interested in making a feminist sci-fi movie why didn't they tried some Ursula Le Guinn novel and let us play with our harmless space opera fantasies? No: they had to destroy our toys, of course. You know what? Penis envy. Penis envy everywhere.
Luke’s deserves better that was weak too much bull shit in and no substance, the old trilogy is still perfect, the prequels I never dislike them only, attack of the clones, I feel like Star Wars needs better film makers are hacks with no substance
Ive been here since you had 483 subs in 2015 or 16 I don't remember at this point but its awesome to watch you guys grow. Sorry I can't be a patreon if I could i would
Lesbian Kathleen Kennedy bragging about the majority of the team being women. I would rather them be homeless Mexican people if they could make a better story haha
I gave up on Ghostbusters... I mean Star Wars after "The Farce Awakens" I couldn't get past the all powerful Rey... The next thing that should/will happen more people will give up on Star Wars after this one then the next one & so on... Just watch 'em (if u want) once Red Box has it... That will help Red Box at that point.... Not Disney...
Kathleen Kennedy´s expectation: "Ok, so on episode 7 we make them wonder about the origins of several stuff in the movie and then on episode 8 we just throw these questions out the window, don´t answer any of it and say it´s time to let go of the past... brilliant! "
"She explains her reasoning in a line that rivals Anakin's famous monologue about sand in idiocy." Bitch, I am offended. That line had more plot than all Disney Star Wars movies. Yes, Anakin hates sand, but it's not only /sand/ that he hates - he associates sand with his horrible hopeless childhood as a pathetic slave and a longing for his mother whom he left behind. He hates Tatooine - the /sand/ planet with no water - and everything it stands for. I love the sand meme (10/10) but at the same time I can take the line seriously when in context of the story. Meanwhile Rose's line is the equivalent of fucking sjws using #Hashtags on Twitter to "spread the ~love".
YES. The Prequels may be borderline unwatchable but it will be forever remembered for giving us some of the best memes in this franchise. Also, yes I have always thought that Anakin’s “I don’t like sand” line was very poignant when you look into it. I’m glad people are finally seeing that. \(^ u ^)/
This is the only Star Wars movie I have not seen in the theater. I saw the original trilogy released in 1997, all the prequels, even episode 7 in theaters.This truly is the end of an era.
All I would say to Kathleen Kennedy's staff is, Bitches Leave!
James Norwood you win the award for best comment
WorldClassBullshitters I'm sure some idiot will accuse me of hating women but I don't hate women however they really shouldn't be the majority of the staff writing stuff that is geared towards men.
Trust in the wisdom of Clarience Boddicker. He was Old Detrioit's most successfull small buisnessman.
The Sentinel That's right! He then moved to Suburbia and constantly talked about putting his foot up people's asses.
Robocop
If you think about it, Disney buying Star Wars from Lucas is like the senate scene where Palpatine declared the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire.
iudfr Depends if we'll see our version of the republic revived from the ashes of the empire (Disney). I think at this point, the fans are the rebellion (to an extent I guess) wanting to revive the Republic (The Franchise).
And everyone applauded when Disney bought Star Wars and yet I was like Padme thinking "This is how creativity and originality dies. With thunderous applause." Say what you want about Lucas, but at least he was creative, original, and was willing to take risks and push new filming techniques. Disney is just going to milk Star Wars until it is nothing but dust.
The only question that remains is that if we win, is how we will pick up the pieces and put it all back together again.
correction: the beginning of the Fempire ;)
Even though he had to sell toys, Lucas still had integrity. It was a part of his life, not just a job. He could've keep on pumping out movies after ROTJ, but he didn't. Even if he did the third trilogy himself, he wouldn't have oversatured the market like Disney and I'm sure he would have planned better than Disney. The state of the non-movie content was also better under his oversight. Disney cancelled Clone Wars and Lucasarts is not making games anymore.
I know when I hire people, it's based on their genitals and not their capabilities.
Chris Fox 😂😂😂😂
-Dont forget race
+Chris Fox Could you tell me what company you are at?
I want to short the stock. . . er. . . I mean, no reason.
Just so long as the beneficiaries are always women, Chris!
Remember, such a hiring policy is only 'problematic' when men benefit. Women getting hired purely because of their gender though is perfectly fine. Obviously.
I love 21st century 'equality', don't you? ;)
And COLOUR, RACE, etc, etc,etc
The fact that Kathleen Kennedy wears shirts like “The Force is Female” says it all. She is mad with power and in this PC climate Hollywood has today its open season for far leftists to run a mock. She shouldn’t be proud of how many women are on the story group, she should care whether the stories they come up with for Star Wars are mythological like it was meant to be. She promised George Lucas that she would honor the characters he created when he made her president of Lucasfilm before selling it to Disney but obviously she lied. She pushed George out, betrayed what he intended for the sequel trilogy and decided to push her feminist supremacy on the rest of the world.
Dear Kathy maybe some men weren’t so nice to you years ago but why did you have to come along under false pretenses and destroy what Star Wars fans men and women loved? Why?!!!
Jonathan Pressman The answer to your question is simple: because she is female, just like the "new force".
Funny how someone chastises me for misspelling one word on my unedited comment but their reply is edited. Excuse me for being imperfect but you sir seem just a little hypocritical to say the least. Yeah my brain cells like many don’t best right before going to sleep but at least I can still present an unedited argument with valid points not just an idiotic insult based on a gotcha of a simple spelling mistake.
Oh and by the way Jose masturbasement isn’t a word either since you love talking nonsense. But maybe you invented said word since perhaps you are familiar with doing so in your mother’s basement. I don’t know but that would make sense...LOL! Thanks for a good laugh
Though Amok is the common spelling in the 21st Century (It's also the word in Dutch) Amuck still correlates as modest minority of uses for example Duffy Duck used that spelling and so did early 20th century Author H. W. Fowler. I had only heard the amuck spelling until I noticed the different one on the Star Trek Episode Amok time.
So it might be archaic or atypical but it's not actually "Wrong" any more than Lit and Lighted are. (both are legitimate)
As for a Muck (with a gap) or Amock (with a C in it) you lost me there.
'run a Mock' sounds like something a Medieval Jester would do though - so if it isn't a word perhaps it should be ? as it describes the action of running around mocking people - quite well I'd say.
Don't let it get to you, I rarely post on YT, but wow, Jose hunter's response to you was one of the most pointless, butthurt posts I've ever read, and that is saying quite a bit. All they accomplished was proving they are they typical SJW. Misguided feelings, no logic, and absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.
7 The Mary sue awakens
8 The Mary sue strikes back
9 The return of the Mary sue
JustS0meAssHole The Return of the Mary Sue!
maybe 9 will be The Return of a Gary Stu
No kylo will transition into a women, because otherwise too much toxic masculinity will surround rey and rose, after that poe will be demoted and rose will be promoted to his new squadron leader.
With finn being given a promotion, but playing subordinate to a brand new female general or admiral relegated to her assistant or errand boy. And not actually being allowed to be his own man.
And star wars will have a groundbreaking progressive first a inter-species marriage as chewbacca marries a porg, with force ghosts han, leia and luke in tears crying over how beautiful a moment it is.
They might as well go balls to the walls full on social justice activism, they already flung the door wide open with episode 8 and the heavy political preaching and men are incompetent agenda.
To me its all Revenge of the Mary Sues!!!
The Menace of Mary Sue
The Attack of Mary Sue
The Revenge of Mary Sue
6/8 Of the writers are women
"Equality"
ha! need 6 women to compete with 2 men.
th-cam.com/video/pBz0BTb83H8/w-d-xo.html
What I love most about this is that the number of people with the female gender is somehow more important than the actual background of said people.
Why not create a political Star Wars story where you have a new character who is driven mad by the oppression of the Empire and he has to live in terror that if he makes death threats against his school and such, or politicians, or the Emperor, he might be sent to prison. But he has a compulsion to publicly make the death threat and it drives him insane with rage. Also, he can't lash out because selfish people in his society, to impede dumb criminal aliens from robbing their houses put up security cameras everywhere. The aliens are there because of multiculturalism enforced by the empire. So because these selfish people don't want their fucking TV's stolen they put up security cameras everywhere and now when this tortured character wants to lash out by damaging something, he can't because he'll be caught on camera. It makes it impossible to rebel against society when cameras are everywhere. Think of how my James Grider character is in my novel "Impact" on Amazon that people should buy so I can afford a used car.
Destroyed by the Fempire when Darth Cuntedey gained control.
The end is near and everyone knows it ! Good bye Kathleen Kennedy you will not be missed!
Disney is doing a great job...of making me hate Star Wars. (-_-)
yes me too man...
Max Brandt dont hate it because of them if anything the old movies will always be there and well the EU has some great stories
Doing a good job of making me enjoy Dune, which is more original and in depth sci-fi /fantasy than Star Wars. Or even just books in general.
My hate started after I left the cinema back in the 70s. Hard core drivel and it just got worse. Thank fuck my father paid.
Now that was another story on a trip to Thailand.
So this is how Star Wars dies, with thundering feminism writing.
Shadic Namikaze STFU, i hate overuse of SW quotes.
Tikus 12 and your mother hates you. We have come full circle I guess.
Horváth Benedek Thats messed up, wow.
Shadic Namikaze is time for star wars to end.
wait till the gay rights activists get into the movie, it will be a spaghetti of social indoctrination.
I am so happy to talk to my students today who are Asian females who hates the movie and saw right through the use of Vietnamese actresses as a way to pander to the Chinese market! Not one of my Asian students liked this movie.
If anything, the Asian character was insulting to Asians due to how big of a detriment she was to the story. It's even worse than the movie trope of racial stereotypes because at least that has been used in creative ways.
Whats offensive is making this Asian Character a complete bumbling wimp. That alone would offend me if I were Asian.
This very thing irritated my female Asian students...especially the Vietnamese since they knew the actress is Vietnamese (but cast to pander to the China market). China has wuxia movies with strong females and have no need for this crap
Hell, Finn has more chemistry with Poe if anything.
What would you expect, other than her turning into the jedi focus? She was supposed to be the ordinary girl seemed to me. Not everyone can play Rey. I suppose Disney should never cast Asians any more because any role but jedi is an insult! And to think there wasn't an American indian at all, among many racial types. She just turned into a sidekick for one of the heroes. I guess the other Star Wars movies were better because there were no Asians - absurd. With an ounce of patience, maybe she will turn into something more? You think?
star wars RIP. Disney Screwed it up.
Star Wars RIP 2012
It's weird because Rebels shows more respect to the lore and characters than the actual canonical film did XD
Too bad all the new characters in Rebels are shit. The only good parts are the ones with Ahsoka, Darth Vader and Admiral Thrawn. Which is a few episodes at best.
Lucas killed it, Disney failed to resuscitate it and buried the corpse.
The Last Jedi not only felt small-scale like an episode of Rebels “we are running out of gas with bad guys chasing us!”, they lifted wholesale the scene where our heroes follow friendly animals to escape a cave where they are trapped.
I find these videos therapeutic. Thank you, WCBS.
"How do I write women so well? I think of a man and then I take away reason and accountability."
The best line from "As Good As It Gets," delivered hilariously by Jack Nicholson.
lmao..... well said im still laughing
That quote sums it all up.
The best part about that scene was that he said it to the most annoying actress ever... The same actress that single-handedly made me stop watching the show Dexter in the 2nd or 3rd season.
But yeah, As Good as it Gets is my all-time favorite chick-flick... AKA, the only one I can say I enjoy watching...
delivered deadpan, that's why it was hilarious
i cant stop laughing at all my friends who called me a hater, i told them the min Lucus sold to Disney this would happen. But they just saw star wars coming out and got all excited, they were blinded that a corporation now was making a IP to sell to sheep and no longer one mans artistic vision of a story. Now they realized i was right all along. SW is dead and vote with your wallets people.
Stop hanging around with teens then you perv and get some decent mates.
They sound like the type of people that i don't wanna hang around with.
Bob Reno
Well considering JJ Abrams loved the script/story to Episode VIII so much, that he actually wished he could Direct it.... www.cinemablend.com/new/Big-Reason-J-J-Abrams-Regrets-Directing-Star-Wars-Episode-VIII-101767.html
Not to mention...both Kathleen Kennedy and JJ produced and signed "ok" for Rain Johnsons version.....
As much as I hate TLJ, I like and respect it more than the copy and paste crap that JJ did with TFA....
Considering JJ chose Simon Pegg as consultant over the Creator, George Lucas himself, I have no hope nor time for that bloody Charlatan and the other Mountebanks running the franchise
Same here man I knew it too when Kathleen got her hands on Lucas.
Have to say that when Disney took over i had this feeling that it was all over, and i was right.
Great video. I hope the fempire is defeated by the good story telling rebels
Fuck your avatar made me look twice and I almost swiped at it on instinct...
Fempire, That's good!, very good. You can feel the hate flowing
may midol protect us
The real dropoff is going to be for the NEXT movie. Most people saw it on the opening weekend before the word was out how bad it was. As long as the SJWs at Disney keep making money they can do whatever they want, but ultimately they are responsible to shareholders and they will be sacked if profits dwindle.
TheMrFishnDucks i love my sisters, mom and wife...but women should just leave some of guys stuff. Just leave it. Pleaseeeeee
The "Legends" will NEVER die. Kyle Katarn exists, Mara Jade exists and is married to Luke Skywalker and many more are, personally, canon to me. This new canon can eat bantha poodoo.
Kyle Katarn: The guy who stole the Death Star plans and lived to tell the tale. The guy who is no Jedi, just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions. The guy who uses said lightsaber along conventional blasters and explosives. The guy who has seen both sides of the Force and is not afraid to electrify his enemies while healing and protecting himself and his allies.
Bring him back, dammit. Bring. Him. Back!!
Well said, brother. Old Canon superior, New Canon inferior!
Davien Clefton It warms my heart to hear someone is equally as outraged and hurt by Disney’s foray into retconning the best Star Wars stories of all time. If not for all the “canon” bull crap peddled by Disney, Star Wars would still be fresh and innovative.
Not only did the Walt Disney Company take years of hard work from authors, game developers, and cartoonists and flushed it all down the toilet, they also managed to destroy the mystery and the fantasy of Star Wars. Now, they’ve turned it all into bland, cliched, and agenda-oriented material that is good for nobody.
Keep hoping and praying my friend, for we may just see the EU continued in all of its unique glory. 🙂
Davien Clefton Mara Jade > Rey
At least we still have that. Legends can't be touched by Disney. Thank the Force.
Their well be a Death star in ep 9, RIP Star Wars it was fun.
And It blows itself up.
Jeff Trujillo
Wait has this been confirmed or are you joking?
Camillo Giuliett it's not confirmed yet, But knowing JJ binks, their well be, their well be.
There will be two Death Stars, and Rey will use the force to crash them into each other ala The Force Unleashed on steroids.
Have you guys seen the Video of Mark Hamill and Rian Johnson after the Premiere of The Last Jedi? Mark mirrors Darth Vader, when he throw the Emperor to his death. The exact same expressions in body and Face, it really is like Poetry!
Star Wars has been my religion since I was old enough to watch movies (born in 1978, btw). I really can't believe that Disney has done the impossible in making me not care when the next Saga movie comes out. Incredible. It only took them two films to get me there. After the prequels, that's a hell of a trick.
These sequel films have really made me appreciate the prequels more, they were not very good, but at least they were trying to do something new and good.
I saw The Last Jedi - and what struck me first and foremost was how it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. None of the characters behaved the least bit like sentient humans. The succession of events depicted on screen was so utterly disjointed and inconsequential, I felt like I was watching a collage of unrelated GIF files overlaid with surrealist noises and schizophrenic dialogue. Such a bizarre and alienating experience, I seriously began to question my own sanity. I felt like a visiting space alien struggling to comprehend the concept of "movie" ... at which point I recognized that it was the film itself that didn't understand the concept of "movie". I sincerely think this film was made by clinically insane people.
This is all a ploy by George Lucas to make us appreciate the prequels, look at how much people are willing to forgive with those now.
I was thinking the same thing, it's bad when you start thinking, man, Attack of the Clones wasn't that bad after all
Lucas is a sith lord .
Lucas had nothing to do with Disney's BS so yeah try again dummies
*sigh*
Nope. It just means that almost half of all Star Wars movies are below par.

SirToby
Or you could admit that the lack of continuity and character arcs is objectively bad for storytelling.
Rotten Tomatoes audience score down to 49%. Before you go barfing up the fake news about some guy using bots to spam negative reviews, Rotten Tomatoes has publicly stated that the score is genuine after reviewing their data.
Mors Coronam ??? When did I say TLJ was a competent movie?
But I'm not going to applaud an alt-right media site like Dangerous.com for saying so. I don't need validation from a gang of sociopaths.
Well i do.
this channel is Alt Right? lmao thats pretty funny.
The future of Star Wars: Equality but no quality.
where was the equality ?? every man in the movie was a bad character and needed a woman to femsplain to them what is the right way to do things. Thats not equality that is feminist supremacy
they killed the wrong sister
Arrow reference
Luke has another sister?
Think they meant that Rose shoulda been in that bomber.
Guitarsthatkill ah i get it. Yeah she was photogenic
Don't you mean the WONG sister?
People still call me a racist and bigot for hating rose even though I'm Asian
She did kinda Kidnap Finn.
90 Lancaster agree
Lena Dunham joke was on point yo lol
Nothing Kathleen has done with Star Wars has been creative. All she has done is be safe. From the movies, to even the comics and books (the tv show Rebels is actually not bad), Star Wars has just been repeating its past. Nothing has really jumped out as being a must read or see. We have not had a KotoR, a Thrawn Trilogy, a Legacy (comic series), Republic Commando, etc. under Kathleen. Maybe it will just take more time, but it is clear she has no interest in telling interesting stories or taking risks.
Lucas always took risks with Star Wars. He always tried to do something different. Even when it did not work, I respected him for being one of the few people in Hollywood who wanted to try and be original. Right now, I would greatly prefer another Prequel like trilogy. At least they were entertaining, had some interesting ideas, and what came out of them in terms of books, comics, tv shows, and games, were absolutely amazing.
Rebels is not bad thanks to Filoni, aka George's padawan.
It may not be bad, but it sure isn’t great either. It pales in comparison to the clone wars quite honestly.
The (now legends) novelizations of the Clone Wars and the Republic comics from dark horse really captured the era and honestly came to define the intrigue part of the prequel era storytelling. Even if you thought the PT were shit, the goodness is here. Especially when you consider Bail Organa's speech in republic 63 about defending the constitution and not handing more of the power over to a single man. Which in retrospect could explain a lot of why the SJW femnazis and Kathleen Kennedy seem to have a stake in their own political preaching...All at the cost of the larger story elements of universal heroism and valor which originally made SW relate-able to everyone in its fledgling years.
It wasn’t ‘safe’ to trash Star Wars and turn it into SJW filth, as we are seeing now.
Lucas took risks and gave us the prequel trilogy but hey at least he planned out a trilogy instead of random pick a card from a hat story telling.
TyranusRex721 Star Wars has a world of stories/eras. Instead of telling them, they are doing these anthologies BS movies. I love Obi Wan but he was a Jedi his whole life. What can possiblly be told about his life? He was a padawan under Q, then a Master and all of his adventures where with Anakin, then he got hermit to care for Luke. Are they going to talk of his adventures in Tatooine? Oh please! Luke said the man was a hermit. Give us the times before the prequels. Where the Jedi come from (Jed'aii, Tython force storm which by the way have fierce female warriors). It would be cool to see these ancient Jedis. Give us that and leave the Skywalkers be. KK want 'to expand' Star Wars around the same characters? Bye bitch!

HOLY SHIT, you talking about the RT audience score? I've checked is every couple days as it came down to 50. So good to hear it here.
Yes it is now the worst Star Wars movie by about 8% now, according to the audience.
and the only reason The farce awakens got such good scores was cuz it was pretty much original Star Wars redone in a much worse fashion but everyone was starving for star wars back then. Why people wouldn't just go rewatch the original instead of this rehashed garbage is beyond me.
Damn, how do you go from 88% with TFA and 87% for Rogue One, to 49% in one movie!? You literally have to WANT to fuck up for that to happen.
I can't believe TFA is rated as highly by the press as ANH is... only explanation is they thought they were shown ANH again, which is a pretty understandable mistake I suppose.
The people making these movies, including Rian Johnson, don't understand the extensively researched Joseph Campbell mythology Star Wars is based on. That's why the original trilogy was such a hit when it came out in the 1970's and 1980's.
collegeman1988 once you think about it, Luke is almost identical to a Greek hero: born of a human mother and divine father, flees from his home at a young age, goes on a series of inhuman tasks, and finally helps overthrow a tyrannical king. In essence, he's a modern day reinvention of Jason or Perseus. Really makes this travesty all the more tragic.
best comment ever!
collegeman1988 hell yes!!!! So obvious. So basic. Yet so ignored! Sicko Kennedy needs to star in a 'Boxing Helena' remake
The Indominable Dr. Buttlove And what’s even more interesting is that Star Wars all came about because George Lucas was unable to get the rights to Flash Gordon. So, not only did he create his own Flash Gordon type character, he tapped into the essence of what makes a hero. A hero that has an appeal to all cultures.
Can't wait for the third installment called The Return of Diversity Cast Cucks.
LevelGapGaming They sh just call it Not the Last Tampon
Kennedy shouldn’t have been put in charge of Lucasfilm. She’s ruining the characters we loved growing up with and helping shape a story and characters that are absolute garbage. All done for feminism. I don't give a shit that most of the writers staff is women, as long as they're qualified writers and got the job due to there writing abilities. But if this is what the women on her staff are coming up with, then this is just shit and proves they were clearly hired because of their gender and nothing else. Meanwhile, she doesn’t seem to get men are more interested in Star Wars then women are. You think you’d want to appease your main demographic, but Kennedy says fuck that, we’re not going to make something for them to like, because they’re men. Third Wave Feminism is truly awful. Just complaining about privileges they have. Go to a third world country then see if you actually have it rough over here in America. George Lucas isn’t the best at writing dialogue, yet was able to make stories that were amazing. Since Star Wars is a space opera and would have melodramatic writing and acting, that fit with his writing abilities and made Star Wars stand out among other Sci-Fi and Fantasy films. Kennedy and her team don’t seem to get that and only care about female power and nothing more. Story and real character development are gone just so a woman can come in and prove she’s as good as any man, if not better in every way. It’s evident that they have no clue about Star Wars at all.
Be careful there, mate. Criticizing feminism might get you a couple sexual assault allegations thrown your way.
Jared Wignall women generally are not as creative as men are in terms of writing stories and even making inventions the progress of humanity has always been guided by men. I prefer men's written storylines they don't seem like fantasy bad fan fictions.
Women are creative. Feminazis are not.
Feminism has invaded Star Wars, and feminism is slowly killing it.
lmaginaryfriend3199 it crept in fast, but is slowly killing it by killing off beloved characters, of which is seemingly by any means necessary. Of which they made it obvious that they wanted to fuck away all the previous lore and films with this bull shit. Not even the Star Wars comics are safe, even they have been infected by this feminist bs. Though they're being written by Marvel, who has been fucking shit up already with feminism, so not exactly surprising they would do the same shit with Star Wars. Of which guess who/what is now usually the focus of attention?!!?!?!? Is it A) Darth Vader? B)Darth hunting down "wanted" female Jedi? Or C) All of the above?
lmaginaryfriend3199 It's C)! Darth Vader is the main focus, but is hardly gone into focus and us more on focus of female "threats" to the Empire because they have some random information that could fuck up the Empire or something they could use. Plus there's as well a random annoying side kick Vader out of no where decides to keep. Of which she's then to be revealed a lesbian and has several fuckin pages dedicated to discussing her lesbian relationship.
Slowly killing it? It was killed as soon as Disney and feminist Kathleen Kennedy got their hands on it!!
1k views no dislikes this is what quality content looks like I'm taking notes
She had to rig the writing staff to get that disparity between men and women. Which means she willingly and clearly discriminated, and is getting rewarded and praised for it.
Not a fan of Star Wars, never have been, but damn. Kathleen Kennedy is going full Muhammad Atta with this franchise.
Ah Kathleen and her female staff came out with the force is now female shirts if there politcal message hadnt been seen heard or understood in the movie..
Edit i am glad your not a star wars fan as i am an old star wars fan ( first film i saw in cinemas was return of the jedi after watching the others on VHS) and the massive departure they have done from the films is painful . there were thousands of hours of reading on the extended universe with some amazing stories amongst them ( and some crap ones) plenty of material to make good movies but nope we are making that all non cannon which i never understood until seeing TLJ as they had a very political plan with the films.
I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan my whole life, but when I walked out of the theater after seeing The Last Jedi, a little part of me died. No Star Wars film has done that to me yet (even though The Force Awakens sucked too). Something needs to be done about the tyranny of Disney, the poor decisions made by lucasfilm and ESPECIALLY Kathleen Kennedy.
To be fair The Last Jedi might be a tiny tiny tiny bit better than the Clone Wars Movie or the Ewoks Movies. & it's certainly better than the Glorious disaster that is the Holiday Special (though I do actually like Bea Arthur's section) :
th-cam.com/video/D6K6ETASu1E/w-d-xo.html
90 Lancaster wrong this movie literally killed my joy of Star Wars. I have faithfully paid to see every movie in the theaters multiple time until this nonesense. I will never again spend anything on star wars. This movie killed the entire franchise just wait an see.
So this is how Star Wars dies, with obnoxious sjws.
James Norwood. Very true..this is what is happening now
It's more important to recognize that none of the new movies have anything that make them specifically memorable. Even if people concede that the prequels had a few really bad moments, there are a ton of other scenes from the prequels that if I saw them in passing, I'd know exactly what movie that was. Meanwhile if you ran segments of the modern movies, I probably couldn't tell you specifically which one was which without some additional context.
Agreed. They had some low points but also high points - primarily because Lucas knew he wasn't good with dialogue but his strength was non-verbal storytelling (visuals, music, sounds). And unique designs, of course, especially TPM (Doug Chiang was really talented).
Order 66. A lot of people forget it comes from AoTC and it is one of the most pivotal and memorable moments in SW history.
Yes, Lucas never lacked for imagination and drawing from sources other than his own previous films. Disney seems incapable of charting truly new ground, but damn do they know how to copy from the earlier SW films without understanding how or why it worked.
Yeah, at least the prequels had competent, threatening villains. Maul killed Quigon and almost killed Obi-Won, Dooku wrecked both Obi-Won and Anakin in a 2v1, Grievous was 2 seconds away from skewering Obi-Won, and Palpatine ultimately won and genocided the prequel good guys as the ultimate villain that made a cultural impact (even if a lot of that is 'Unlimited Powaaaa!' memes).
Each one of these did more and were memorable than gold robed Gollum, emo Vader cosplayer, generic officer dude, and slightly differently geared stormtrooper all combined.
Droidekas >> ST stormtroopers
It's a good point how Lucas' wife saved a new hope. Women with an agenda are the problem not women writers.
I agree. But the problem is that when Katleen was put in charge of Lucasfilm everybody was lauding about "female empowerment", that "The Force is female", etc.
And now they are removing their vaginas from the shit storm.
No. If women can make great things just because they're women then when those same things go south their gender should also be held accountable.
I suggest next time they (and others) present their cases for their merits not because of their genitalia.
Although that's probably asking too much of professional feminists.
Now the audience score of Disney's The Last Turd in Rotten Tomatoes stands at 50. Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars = Joel Schumacher's Batman.
Goddamn. Where da fuq u bin man?
+Lt_Joker Good. May it get lower.
+Metal Drum Covers 1989 I had to replace my old laptop.
At 49% now and hoping it sinks lower in the next few days.
And if you read the positive reviews they are so fabricated. I guarantee you if Rotten Tomatoes didn't have those false positive reviews then the score would be 30 or lower! The Last Jedi sucked!!!! It's a very sad day for Star Wars fans knowing that this feminist Kathleen Kennedy is going to ruin it into the ground.
Episode 9 starts with Finn, Rose, Rey and Kylo sitting at a table discussing things. All of a sudden Benicio Del Toros character from Sicario walks in sits down, has a nice chat with them and then bullets to the head. He walks out and we get a movie filled with new characters and story. xD
Even if you ignore the plot holes, the horrible treatment of the original characters/universe and the BS gender obsessed politics- this movie is still depressing to watch. I left the theater feeling just down about life. That’s not a feeling I would go back and pay money to experience again. That’s what my bathroom mirror is for.
Lucas provided us with a beautiful escape from the real world. TLJ provides us with a depressing reminder of 21st century politics and the dire state of screenwriting in Hollywood.
If you ignore the plot holes, the horrible treatment of the original characters/universe and the BS gender obsessed politics - there is nothing left of the movie.
At least that's free.
The only male with balls is Poe but he still needs to be humiliated and taught a lesson, apparently.
Samuel Lund Hahahahaha...wait for some breath intake...hahahahahaha! Thanks body, you gave me my first few laughs since I went to see TLJ on opening night! Disney will be hard pressed to get my money on anything "the new KK order" has created!
Disney is relentless. If the franchise is not destroyed, it will be shity Star Wars movies without end.
Every single Disney employee, including your friend Kathleen, is now an enemy of the republic.
I think they will listen to some critics at least. I mean they managed to create rogue one, which isn't a bad movie. And china dropping last jedi out of 92% of the cinema is definately something about 100 Million $ less revenue, so they will try to please that audience better in the future. I just don't know if Kathleen and the other writers can come up with something interesting and consistent withing the SW universe. :/
I only know one truth, it is time for Star Wars to end. Let the past die. Kill it if we have to.
5:55 Lego literraly has named the LEGO set: 'The kessel run Millennium Falcon'
Rose tico is my favorite character along with jar jar Abrams
I grew up with Rose Tico.
A regular Plumbus did she get her neck snapped 😂
Don't insult Jar Jar Binks by associating him with that hack.
Pantheragem tru dat
Snoke and Kylo were a smoke screen for the True Sith. Darth Binks and Apprentice Rose, the real rule of two members. We all know Darth Binks is at the center of it all. His apprentice, Rose, is secretly killing off the Resistance under the guise of "not fighting what we hate (not killing First Order personnel, preserving First Order military strength)" and "saving what we love (sacrificing many to save a few, diminishing Resistance military strength."
Lol two SJW Marvel writers called Rose a better character then Boba Fett
That is why Marvel has record low sales as interest in comics are high due to the MCU 😁
Camillo Giuliett Marvels sales aren't record low. They controlled the largest share of sold issues last year.
That is because they published so many titles - that some of those titles get outsold by IDW is a bit embarrassing of itself especially as IDW are just as fruity as Marvel is.
That Marvel has Movies regularly selling a $Billion and yet it can not capitalise on that with the comics (or at the very least the Trades) is down to agenda farming, excessive "events", Distalf Characters like Silk and to much repetition and reboots.
Common sense should tell you that The Avengers is what you should be pushing not 'Not-Hulks' & The most Embarrassing Hero (short of Squirrel Girl & Kamala Khan) - 'Captain Marvel'
I love how they boast about having 50% plus women on the story board team, when the story and continuity has categorically never been worse.
Yeah, great job setting back feminism 20 years.
Audience score now at 49% on Rotten Tomatoes; holy poop!
Disney had it coming to them, so it's no big surprise.
The audience score for the Last Jedi just dropped to 49%.
My local theatre is pulling Jedi this Thursday
There are three theaters in my town that I know of that are doing this too. lol It's for the best, the film has run it's course
Dangerous.com appears to be Milo Yianoppoulos's website. He's a former editor at Breitbart and became famous for debating feminists and SJW while being flamboyantly gay. So this article is not a surprise from his site. Still, a good article.
almost christian He was also famous for running a scam charity ("the privilege grant") and advocating sexual relationships between minors and adults in positions of authority.
That last claim is a bit more doubtful. I do recall Yiannopoulos recounting his experiences with a priest as a teenager. It sounded more like he was trying to deal with it, rather than advocating for it.
MrColuber Not really. But I guess you can convince yourself to make excuses for it, if he tickles your taint by saying something you want to hear.
Or I could base my opinion on the evidence which is available to me. Which is what I did.
I dont like Milo. But I can respect the points the guy who wrote this is trying to make. The criticism is valid. Fuck this movie and its writers.
Lets not get riled up over who wrote this because its irrelevant. Hitler could've written this shit. Stalin could, George Bush... and I'd still agree that whats happening to Star Wars is not at all what the franchise used to be about.
Politics should stay the fuck away from star wars in this form. Used to be about freedom and tyranny. Fair game. But they just had... to fuck up.
I just want to see a good in depth story with likeable characters that face legit and hard trials. I want to see the characters change by the trials they face, beat the bad guy with a hard fought fight and go through a fun, tough, and exciting journey. It doesn't matter whether it's a guy or a girl as long as they have the necessary factors not only to be a good character but make it a good story. This is not the case for star wars. Rey has had no trials like luke had. She is not interesting at all. She doesn't have to work for anything or learn the force. All the side characters like fin, poe and rose suck and make jar jar look like an interesting character. Good video jeff couldn't agree with you more.
Poe and Finn at least had potential before TLJ shafted both of them.
You know what's worse? ONE character was actually going through all that in TFA (Finn), but then in TLJ all that was thrown out the window to turn him into a joke shadow of what he once was. I loved Finn in TFA, but god damn did all of that character development get tossed and out shit on in TLJ.
Bob Reno - who are Buffy and Xena?
Kathleen needs Darth Vader to force choke her and say. You have failed me for the last time.
The Star Wars brand is ruined. Too bad the 6 out of 8 writers could not write worth a damn.
The prequels (yes all three) were horribly written. This is nothing new, just more of the same. Star Wars should have been done in 1983 and never revisited in film.
some dialogues could use rewriting but the prequels had a story and a plot that was going somewhere. The motivations of the characters were simple, but understandable. What exactly the goal of this trilogy? To destroy everything that was achieved by the big three? It's like Lucas said, they wanted to make a retro movie because the nostalgia and didn't even care about the plot and characters.
That is totally unfair; the male writers are shite too.
Lucas seemed to never understand quite where he was going with the prequels, writing each individually rather than laying out all three as he had intended to do initially. Anakin’s motivations for turning to the dark side changed with each film as a result, and the storytelling was incredibly sloppy (Sifo Dyas, anyone?). It’s ok, we are allowed to criticize the current films without pretending the prequels were not massive disappointments.
The difference I perceive is this: the prequels were an earnest effort executed poorly; the sequels are a conscious and deliberate effort to root out established themes and ideas. The former is a failure; the latter is propaganda.
I'm wondering if Disney will step in after Solo bombs, they've let Lucasfilm do their own thing so far but Kennedy is fucking it up big time.
49% on RT now. Tens of thousands of reviews
Look, there are fellow women, like me, who thinks this latest movie is crap. My husband and I have three sons and I am all for them being a success. None of them live at home, they all have successful careers. Wow, and we are still married, two of the sons are married and one is engaged and the spouses and fiancée are women. Who would have thought?!?
The movie has good cinematography and music, but the plot is in the toilet. The Prequils were not the greatest movies, but they moved the plot along. But the Last Jedi is the worst, Rogue One was better. What they did to Luke Skywalker and Leah and (and how they killed off Han Solo in the Force Awakens) was terrible.
People go to movies to come out feeling better than when they went in, Disney has forgotten this. Real life is worth escaping from, but I guess when you have a huge income like Kathleen Kennedy, you are as out of touch with reality as possible.
it seem that the writes of both TFA & TLJ are trying to appeal to too many audiences . Kids , women , fanboys , plain SW fans (like me) , the PC army and fucking Porgs .
we like Rogue 1 because it was made for adult fans and has drama , substance and a gritty reality. i felt sry for the characters at the end because i could almost feel the pain of their struggle .
i dont give 1 damn fig for this Rey super girl because we know that what ever happens she will be fine and will win .
want a decent story for 9 ? > Rey become over confident and arrogant with her new power and it goes to her head causing her to fall to the dark side and become 1 motherfucking evil Sith bitch . Ren sees this and becomes so afraid of her terrible female power he returns to the light , where he comes from , in a effort to defeat her . add 1 hr of pointless filler with poe ,finn, shrek(asian chick) , porgs , gay droids , ect . done -"its a wrap " as the late Akabar would have said. all thoughts welcome.
Spone Mr For years the country's been being programmed by TV news and sitcoms. I just don't watch TV anymore. Now they realize that they are not getting their Liberal Gospel out to the world. People go to the movies to enjoyment, not to be preached to. Yes, it would be difficult to find a church which would preach this rhetoric, perhaps Wicca. What has kept America afloat and why it prospered was that people stayed together to raise their kids and educated them, mostly it was Christian morals. Now people are just using one another and if there is a baby, the mother doesn't even seem to care.
I have to tell you, the SWJ's idea of how to shape the world of the future is the "Nightmare Before Christmas". Loads of kids are being raped by boyfriends who care nothing for children who aren't theirs. This is no way for kids to grow up and ever be a success, they are often permanently broken. But they can't get their New World Order unless they destroy the United States. You are rooting for poverty.
This as bad as EA screw over their games with pay to win Lootboxes.
Star Wars as a brand in 2017 is full of controversy both in The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Battlefront 2!
Yes, Disney destroying 40 years of beloved film legacy is comparable to EA messing with a video game. .
joey jackson BF2 and TLJ both ruined in the same year. So sad.
EA is a total rip-off, they do not stand by their games they do not stand by their convictions you do not stand by their words every time I sell a game and it screws up and you call him on it they die virtue to a representative after representative into their forms where no one answers they do not give a s*** I will never buy another EA game again
Be prepared for So Low: a Fem Wars sorry ass movie!
I'm not sure why Dave Filoni wasn't put in charge of Lucasfilm, he seems to have a better grasp on Star Wars than Kathleen Kennedy.
I don't think he has the business acumen to run Lucasfilm with that said he should certainly be the Star Wars lore master and be in charge of any new Episodes with an advisory role for anthology films.
Filloni has fucked some shit up too. Mainly Grievous and the clones. I only say the clones because for some reason TCW is in legends continuity too and it just doesn't work. He really doesn't know how to make good villains.
clones werent meant to be vilain in TCW, but more what they really are: warslaves.
Thing is, dceu has more of a chance than this dumpster fire called Disney's Star Wars. DCEU at least had directors cuts to fall back on in case they dont do well theatrically but thats only because WB cut batman v superman and suicide squad in the first place. they also have a soft reboot button called the flash. Now star wars on the other hand, there's no fixing after the last jedi. they threw themselves into a corner. there wont be a directors cut to save it either. no such thing as rebooting star wars and just saying those two things in the same sentence leaves a bad taste in my mouth. star wars started off as movies first and no amount of comics or novels are going to change this unless george or someone buys back star wars and declares these non canon which is highly unlikely.
Great video don't forget IGN gave it 9.7 that's Godfather territory.
trexx32 9.7? HAHAHAHA
And Kevin Smith didn’t have a bad word to say about it in his review. Don’t forget that either. He couldn’t stop talking about how amazing every scene was, it was disgusting. Lost respect and any trust in him. Total bias like the rest of the media (outside of a select few).
these r the ppl who give every CoD game an 8 tho, and they're the ppl who gave Alien Isolation a 5.9 because "the ai was too unpredictable"
IGNorant lost their credibility looooong ago
UFC Armchair Cornerman Rian Johnson is one of Kevins best friends. Sucks he can't be honest.
what the actual fuck
The Kessel Run??? Haha!! So now the entire Han Solo movie is based on a badly botched piece of dialogue from A New Hope.
Opening scene will be somebody explaining to Han what a parsec is. Then he'll shoot them. First. And, by golly, we just might be off to the races. (as it were.)
No wonder its a Disaster from all the behind the scenes talk :P
Oh gawd!
I definitely wont watch it now.
I rather that be a part of Han’s legend.
Let it be a mystery on what happened.
And here I was hoping it'd be a collage of stuff about Han. Like how he won the falcon from Lando, or what it was that he did that made Boba Fett hate his guts, or how he met/rescued Chewie. If they're really making it about the Kessel Run (there was a comic that already covered that, if I'm not mistake), then yeah. That movie is doomed.
The explanation is pretty simple (so Disney will naturally screw it up)
Parsec is a measure of distance not time - so the LOGICAL explanation is that The run (hopefully by Han or at the least Lando) is completed in a Unit of distance of of under 12 Parsecs. (about 39 Light years).
So the way I heard it explained is that navigable space from the Kessel region is full of navigation hazards that means routes are hard to find and travel to the delivery destination of the Spice takes a long time and having to go out of your way and make many many jumps maybe even doubling back on yourself at points.
Han found a quicker way - a more dangerous way so lets pluck a figure out of the air and say your average deliver took X number of jumps and a distance or 70 Light years travelled and 30 or 40 longer in time travelled.
Han found a dangerous route that cut the distance travelled down to 12 Parsecs (the as the crow flies distance might be even shorter than 12 - maybe 8 or 6 - but it's impossible to traverse in a straight line.
So that is Han's (?) Achievement not one of speed but one of navigation - the problem is he addresses it as if it's one of speed ( "a Fast Ship ?!) "- which is indeed a mistake.
.
The Last Jedi spent 3 weeks at #1 at the box office, then fell to 3rd place being bested The Jumanji remake and Insidious 4(Perhaps Darth Sidious striking back?). Great job KK! Congratulations, you suck!!
David M and the only reason it WAS number 1 in the first place is because it has the Star Wars label lol
KK doesnt suck!! She licks ;-)
The new movies are not SW no matter what label you put on it but the Thrawn trilogy is
Thrown trilogy was the best of the EU, perhaps. That’s not saying a whole lot, unfortunately.
I walked outta the theater and literally the next day sold off my Disney stock
Hey, at least you know why Anakin hated sand... And that he had no experience with girls. What exactly is the point of that scene? To remind a viewer that only women can make a sacrifice?
Gabber Chylde It warms my heart to find people who actually understand the depth and the value of Anakin and Padme’s relationship like I do.
Boycott!!!! We can get her fired!!!
If I had my eyes clawed out and I was thrown into a trench of human shit at least one good thing would come of it, I Could never see this film again.
49% baby
local news here ran a segment about the Rotten Tomatoes audience score being low was a hate crime. Here I was thinking "Have you considered the possibility that the movie was bad?"
That is so pathetic of them...
There is an in-story parallel between the story group and the female-helmed Resistance. It would appear that most of the men have been killed off, leaving the likes of Vice Admiral Dolores Umbridge in charge, leading to failure after failure. How convenient that the established command staff (including the well-beloved, yet summarily-dispatched Admiral Ackbar) are wiped out at a blow, except Leia, who in saving herself while unconscious and dying in a vacuum reveals that she is a witch with an invisible broom. At any rate, in wartime, decisive action trumps "faith and hope," but the utter failure of the old notions of unified action against adversity has given way to hierarchical elitism and a frank disrespect for the actual war-makers (sound familiar?) I frankly cheered when Poe announced his mutiny (one of the only high points in the film spoiled by the fact that NOBODY bothered to disarm those relieved of command).
More of the same coming, year after year, as the crown jewel of pop culture is wielded as a blunt instrument by those seeking to promote their socio-politicial agenda. =-[.]-=

i think women should make their own space film - Hand Bags in Space ? Tampax wars ?...
I think they forgot that MEN built this franchise
Please fire EVERYONE before it’s too late!!
'The Last Jedi. Now with a 49 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score!'
If Lucas Film, or any business rather, takes diversity over a person's qualifications, they'll fail. This movie is a direct example of it. The Last Jedi will be the catalyst to the fall of Star Wars. Not because of how bad it is, but because of the ignorance and delusion of Kathleen Kennedy. When you focus of social justice rather than putting out quality content, it's going to come back to bite you... I predict she's out of the picture in 2 and a half years. Summer 2020.
I think Kennedy's fate rests on Solo.
The remake/sequel trend in Hollywood is bad. Coupled with SJW is worst. I am a woman. I looooove all kinds of movies. The damn SJW in Hollywood and their hate of moral values/love and all that ended the diversification in Hollywood. The only type of movies that is surviving beyond blockbusters sequels/remakes are horror movies (are we going to get a IT 2 too?). I love comedies? Where are they? I love rom-coms. Where are they? That shit Fifty Shade of Grays is not romance by the way.
IT 2 is coming. It should. The second half of the book is the kids as adults.
Its finally time!!!

Brian Sherwood jr that is the best thing I've heard all day.
Are you sure they're women? KK has something looking suspiciously like an Adam's apple. And, Kelly Marie TRAN ;)
Is she assuming the Forces gender? Wtf Such hypocrisy
I get the feeling that Disney heads will pull a “BattleFront 2” at the last minute when Star Wars is tanking either with the solo movie or the third movie of the fan fiction characters ep 9
The weirdest part is that gender doesn't exist anymore. At least, I was under the impression it didn't.
Is Kathleen Kennedy "Force Gender" then ?
Thank you Sir, you've made my BRAIN stop hurting. It's been hurting since The Force Awakens
When you mentioned about political message not jiving with Star Wars universe, I think it's because Star Wars ALREADY made that case, but in a more subtle, successful manner. It didn't need to ram it down our throats. Leia was already an empowered female character. Lando was already an empowered non-white character. The Empire already represented everything wrong in society. The messages were there, but intertwined with the story so as not to pose as a distraction. However, the latest films are very blatant - very obvious. It's too obvious that it's a distraction. The narrative itself has become sacrificed. In fact, the narrative now serves to reinforce these themes rather than tell a coherent story that INCORPORATES these themes.
Lastly, just because the staff is made out of women today doesn't make it any more inclusive than when staffs were made mostly of men back in the day. As a woman, I'm annoyed by the hypocrisy I see happening. We women used to criticize the large amount of terrible scantily-clad female characters in films and books - mostly because they were being written by men FOR men. Now? We're getting emasculated eye-candy male characters written by women FOR women. It's sexism no matter how you dice it. We are still undermining the opposite sex by means of demeaning or belittling them.
It's only when the sexes are both given a voice and respect that great characters can emerge. For the Terminator series, it was joint effort between James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd that gave us well developed female AND male characters. For Star Wars, it was the joint effort between George Lucas and Carol Titelman that gave us well developed female AND male characters. Nearly every one of Sigourney Weaver's film has given her a voice and opportunity to flesh out her characters, including Ghostbusters. As a result, we see empowered women who hold their own while giving not undermining the male characters.
In the end, today's feminist movement is committing the same sins they fought against. They've stared at the abyss for TOO long and have emerged as the new monster.
Feminism has reached Imperial status. It is now riddle with heresies, shunned traitors, "toxic enemies", pompous orthodoxies, high-priestesses and some clueless naked empresses.
That alone is the proof that men and women are basically the same thing.
Ironic way of proving that but there it is.
One more thing: if they are so interested in making a feminist sci-fi movie why didn't they tried some Ursula Le Guinn novel and let us play with our harmless space opera fantasies?
No: they had to destroy our toys, of course.
You know what? Penis envy. Penis envy everywhere.
Chewbacca: Rey’s employee and barbeque man.

Six men out of a team of eight - fascist misogynistic patriarchy. Six women out of a team of eight - bold, progressive diversity.
Star Wars nerds didn't go back to see it again. That says a lot.
Luke’s deserves better that was weak too much bull shit in and no substance, the old trilogy is still perfect, the prequels I never dislike them only, attack of the clones, I feel like Star Wars needs better film makers are hacks with no substance
You can now say you've seen someone who thinks this IS THE WORST one ever!

Lesbian Kathleen Kennedy bragging about the majority of the team being women. I would rather them be homeless Mexican people if they could make a better story haha
Vulcan has she been exposed as a carpet muncher? Makes sense. Only a matter of time before Rey hooks up with Rose...
"We win by saving those we love." That's not how war works
Wow, comparing that creature to Lena Dunham? That's a massive insult...to the creature.
Love it when that shitty Star Wars pay to win phone app is advertised prior to a vid slamming Disney Star Wars filth.
I gave up on Ghostbusters... I mean Star Wars after "The Farce Awakens" I couldn't get past the all powerful Rey... The next thing that should/will happen more people will give up on Star Wars after this one then the next one & so on... Just watch 'em (if u want) once Red Box has it... That will help Red Box at that point.... Not Disney...
Kathleen Kennedy´s expectation: "Ok, so on episode 7 we make them wonder about the origins of several stuff in the movie and then on episode 8 we just throw these questions out the window, don´t answer any of it and say it´s time to let go of the past... brilliant! "
"She explains her reasoning in a line that rivals Anakin's famous monologue about sand in idiocy." Bitch, I am offended. That line had more plot than all Disney Star Wars movies. Yes, Anakin hates sand, but it's not only /sand/ that he hates - he associates sand with his horrible hopeless childhood as a pathetic slave and a longing for his mother whom he left behind. He hates Tatooine - the /sand/ planet with no water - and everything it stands for. I love the sand meme (10/10) but at the same time I can take the line seriously when in context of the story.
Meanwhile Rose's line is the equivalent of fucking sjws using #Hashtags on Twitter to "spread the ~love".
Friggin SPOT ON ! Why can't anyone see this?
YES. The Prequels may be borderline unwatchable but it will be forever remembered for giving us some of the best memes in this franchise. Also, yes I have always thought that Anakin’s “I don’t like sand” line was very poignant when you look into it. I’m glad people are finally seeing that. \(^ u ^)/
This is the only Star Wars movie I have not seen in the theater. I saw the original trilogy released in 1997, all the prequels, even episode 7 in theaters.This truly is the end of an era.
