Personally I felt quite good. For the first time since Revenge of The Sith I did care about what was going on.

Kathleen Kennedy ruïned star wars. Johnson helped her with that. They both clearly know nothing about star wars and are just trying to push their own agenda with this franchise. George may not be the best director but he did understand star wars since he litterly invented it. The biggest mistake the fans made was making George believe he wasn't good enough for his own creation therefore pushing him to sell it to Disney. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are in my opinion Star Wars last hope. Because without them Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars anymore. But that's all my opinion ofcourse
It’s selfish to avoid a director a lot of Star Wars fans liked to stay away from Star Wars. If he wants to do an episode of Mandalorian, and you don’t want to watch it, fine, no one will force you. The fact is, as a film director, Rian Johnson has a lot of fan. He directed to great movies, like Looper and Knives Out, and two great episodes of Breaking Bad. He just released a movie you didn’t like, this doesn’t mean he has to stay away from Star Wars. The fans who liked his film deserve to get an episode of The Mandalorian directed by him. You don’t. Then don’t watch it and let us have our time of pleasure.
Remember this is the director that refused for us to see how Luke would react to Han's death. It is a sad day when a stranger had a more emotional act to an original's death than his best friend.
A Luke scene where he's doing whatever and is hit with the feeling of Han's death through the force would have been such a nice touch. I should stop reading these comments because I'm only gonna keep getting more disappointed.
That wasn't only a Rian Johnson thing. JJ also didn't understand the friendship of the OT's main characters. Remember, after Han's death in The Force Awakens, Leia walked right past Chewie to hug Rey. That's what happens when you get writers and directors who don't understand the characters.
@@verindictus3639 JJ made other huge mistakes, too, such as not bringing Harrison, Mark, and Carrie back together on-screen and talking about the importance of having a prominent black character then making him a clown. So, admitting one mistake doesn't excuse JJ's bad decisions or lead me to think that he's better than Rian Johnson. Those two should both stay far away from Star Wars. Heck, Rian only ruined one franchise (Star Wars), JJ ruined two (Star Trek and Star Wars) and is on his way to really screwing up the DCEU now by hiring an American-hating writer for the American character Superman.
I remember leaving the cinema after TLJ. Me and my dad had seen it together, and whilst on the bus, we were silent. We were thinking about the crap we had just watched. Then, he looked at me and said, "It wasn't very good was it." I said, "Yeah."
The milking scene was supposed to show how Luke survived the island, and it displayed him as a hermit. Anyways, the scene is less than a minute and has no effect on the plot, so I don't see what the big deal is.
@@justoons2949 The scene also shows how far his character has fallen as a living legend/hero which is a HUGE plot point in the last jedi (THE DUDE IS LITERALLY THE LAST JEDI). people don't like that, which surely you acknowledge as being at least a little fair. plus with the way it's framed and acted it just plain looks goofy. idk what else to tell ya.
For some reason, I'm reminded of a story Kevin Smith tells on one of his stage shows, about directing Bruce Willis in something, and Bruce asks Kevin what lens he's using for the shot, and Kevin says something like, "A close up..." and Bruce repeats, "What lens are you using for the shot?" Kevin turns and asks the camera guy, and then gives Bruce the answer. Bruce responds, "And why don't you know that?"
Any director that says "I stand by EVERY choice" after they make a film is either a fool or lying. Even Scorsese constantly questions whether he made the right choices or not. Rian is no Scorsese. For one, Scorsese is a 78 year old man and Rian is 3 toddlers in a suit.
@@GameOver-vh7py well he kinda is, prequels just prove that he couldnt really direct a movie and wrtite a script on his own without a shit load of people fixing it, like in the OT. He was a guy with vision and great ideas, but he needed all those great actors and directors to make Star Wars work. Prequels only prove that to be right
@@thanos_6.0 but that’s even worse : he recognized that he messed up but he didn’t change anything, because the next day he says : « It was designed to be that way and you can’t undo that. »
Ruin Johnson: I won't have my directing ability questioned by a robot! Robothead : I'm not questioning your directing ability, Ruin Johnson. I'm denying its existence.
I almost walked out of the theater when Rose pulled a “gotcha” moment by crashing her pointless ski speeder into Finn. Instead I remained seated to witness the dumbest scene in all of Star Wars.
There are only two logical ways this scene should have ended. 1. Finn and Rose both die in the crash when she crashed her speeder into his. 2. The First Order soldiers - who were just getting orders to kill everyone a.k.a no prisoners - take one minute to open a lock on the battle-walkers and have a couple Stormtroopers shoot Rose and Finn, who are lying dazed and defenseless right next to them. And even if for some absurd reason they survive and the First Order just ignores them, they would STILL be dead, because they were good four or five KILOMETERS away from their base and Finn had to dragg a injured person behind him, through a SALT FIELD. By the time he managed to return the battle should be long over, with them being left behind on Krayt to be hunted down and killed by their enemies.
The only flaw in Citizen Kane is in the plot...a journalist tries to find out the meaning of Kane's last word, "Rosebud", but we're clearly shown Kane is alone when he died so how could anyone know his last word?
It is volunteer to show that Finn doesn’t understand why Rose kisses him and that it isn’t a dumb romance like everyone thought. But you will just ignore this detail only to complain about this very rigorous and precise directing style.
You make some excellent points here. Most people aren't aware of what 'direction' or 'cinematography' actually mean. They think if there's a pretty image in a movie, that's good cinematography. It's actually defined as the art of telling a story using camera and lighting. This means camera placement/movement/focus/framing, use of suitable color and light, etc. in order to make not a picture, but cinema - moving images that convey a sense of what's going on, both atmospherically and narratively. In other words, to tell a story. What those people are admiring is the set/costume/prop design, mostly.
I’ve been watching Star Wars my whole life and I will never ever forget how angry and embarrassed I was for being a Star Wars fan after watching each other the sequel movies.
The moment Disney decided to not go with Lucas' plans for eps 7, 8 and 9, it was all over. What does the creator of Star Wars know about Star Wars anyway? Such arrogance from Mickey.
I wouldn't worry tbh, in 40 years the CGI will wither away and then the story will have to stand on its own. When that happens people will realize that it's shit, it's a very bad story.
He does deserve to be called out for handling the story terribly. But he and everyone else who worked on the film do not deserve to be harassed or threatened over it.
Before the knife disappeared, the vanishing knife is seen travelling the path over Rey's lower torso... That's a disembowelling shot right there and even with cauterisation the floor should have been a slip and slide of Rey's entrails if that guy was serious about killing Rey.
Yeah. "You have 1 minute to make up a fanstory for Star Wars set 30 years in the future from Return of the Jedi." I bet 90% of what anyone wanting complete the task would come up with, would be better than the Disney films, yet they shoot this....and The rise of Palpatine and TFA. Write 100 plots, run them through 100 fans and see what floats on paper and shoot one of the best ones, not the worst ones. And use a good director, you can afford it. How could a studio fail such simple tasks? Disney should sell the rights to Star Wars.
It is absolutely criminal that after 40 years of excellence, it took spectacle (Bladerunner 2049) and a gimmick (1917) for the Academy to recognize Roger Deakins’s work. Barton Fink, Thunderheart, 1984, True Grit, Fargo, Sicario, O Brother, Shawshank, Rango - every last one of them looked, felt, and did something very different and very interesting.
It’s laughable to see how many people don’t even know how to write « Rian Johnson » properly ! Good to know that Last Jedi haters never learnt to write.
Finally a good take on Rian as a bad director and poor cinematography of The Last Jedi. Way too much talk is spent on the writing and themes which tricks people into thinking the other aspects are not as bad. They are. Thanks, Robot Head.
I'll just put this out there: I recently watched _Knives Out,_ which was written and directed by Johnson, and it was a very capably told and directed movie. It's hard to imagine that the same person who made this movie is the same person who put together the mess that was _Last Jedi._
That's what I don't understand, because Knives Out genuinely a good film imo, but how the fuck did the same director do such a bad job on The Last Jedi
When I finally watched this movie, I was amazed at how bad it looked. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was just bad. It looked almost cartoonish or something. You explained it really well.
Same here. I really disliked the looks and cut of many scenes. Now I understand that the choices and hence the material was crap when entering the cutting room. I think the writing was mediocre and then they went into filming, totally overwhelmed by all the stuff they had to manage. Many of the stupid mistakes and bad choices just seem very rushed. No time to do it better? Knowing the american approach to health and job performance, i guess Rian was just drugged away. to not feel his anxiety for the ongoing fuckup. A present director should have taken corrective action at some point. Take another year to work out the movie before you bury a feckin' franchise...
In that scene with Rey practicing with the lightsabre on the rock there's an above shot but with no reflection of the light from the sabre off its wet surface. That part stuck out like dogs balls to me but no one else seemed to notice it.
I just noticed when Rey stabs one of the guards at 11:55 the guy she stabs is behind another guard. This vital info is hidden from us because they failed at blocking the scene, well on top of everything else wrong with this fight scene.
I am literally forbidden from watching Robot Head in my own bed at night when my wife is laying next to me.. because I laugh so much that even when i am trying to not make a sound I shake the bed so much she freaks the fuck out. And that is the best way I can think of to say how great this channel is!! Especially when he's kicking Rian Johnson over and over in a dark alley in the early morning light. Fan-Fucking-Tastic!!!
What I've learned from all this is that the best films have creative teams with a lot of checks and balances. No one person should have full, uncontested creative authority.
David Fincher once said “There are a hundred ways to shoot a scene but when it comes down to it there are only 2 and one of them is wrong” for Rian the only 2 options are dolly in or out. 🤡
Kathleen: Rian writes "amazingly fierce & independent women"... Us: Only if your "definition" means forcing female characters down our throat with bad writing doing all the shoving.
Robot Head: "Rian do you really understand camera angles, direction of actors, and general ideas of people's standards of a future classic movie?" Rian Johnson: "I'm about to classically subvert Robot Head's expectations!"
@@edgarjacksby1402 it doesnt change the fact that tlj was trash because of him and his poor directing. His other movies may be decent or good, but we are talking specifically about SW here
His directing worked great for movies like knives out. Constant twists and turns, no real plot to follow, it’s just a movie on its own. But when there’s an already established series with a way of storytelling and we have 6/7 movies to see how characters act and react to situations, he’s an awful option.
Knives out was very entertaining yet very fking predictable. From the first 10 min I already predicted it was chris Evans. Because I know rian is a gotcha type of guy . Knives out had A HUGE STAR STUD CAST . I imagined the film without the HUGE names like.... CHRIS EVANS ... aka CAPTAIN AMERICA. Daniel Craig aka JAMES BOND 007 . And I imagined the film to be very boring........ yawn
@@valenwood6299 the surprise was not who is the killer but how did he kill. And if you guessed how and to what extent he was guilty, congratulations because this wasn't possible to predict.
@@filmdebating4915 its a fking murder mansion mystery. Fking family guy did a better job than rian Johnson. It's fking done before and always works because everyone loves a mansion murder mystery right ?
@@valenwood6299 did you guess how Ransom murdered Harlan ? No. This was the big surprise. Like Benoit Blanc said : a donut hole. Everything else lined up with what Benoit Blanc thought, except this donut hole. This is genius writing like we don't see very often. It was very refreshing to have such a clever murder mystery with a very unique tone which switches cinema genres in a very surprising way. I wish Rien Johnson was hired for more films, that man is a genius director and writer and anyone who say the contrary is a liar.
Rian Johnson is an amazing director: i'm amazed he still has a career in the film industry; i'm amazed that he actually gets paid for the shit he makes and i'm over come with amazement that he thinks he is good enough to direct an episode of the Mandalorian, because i don't think he could direct traffic in a parking lot!
*Rian tries to get into the Studio* Jon Favreu: „We just gotta load up Tony's old Hulkbuster armor, a prototype for Cap's new shield and the Meg..me..megin... Thor's magic belt.“
Have you seen Star Wars Theory's Video showing an old Interview of George Lucas? He there shares his plans for the sequels that he had in mind before selling to Disney. Would love to hear your opinion on that 👌🏻
I can rewatch episodes 1-6 no problem at all. Granted they’re far from perfect and many parts throughout I don’t like, but overall I can sit through each episode and enjoy myself. I have tried a few times, and there is absolutely NO doubt that I CANNOT ever sit through another watching of episode 7,8 or 9. I get maybe 30-45min into each episode and I just can’t take it anymore. The setting, the characters, the acting, the plot, the overall tone and feel of these movies is just tasteless, uninteresting, boring, and just BAD!!!
Say about the prequels what you want, but they had an original story that contributed to the bigger Story, didn't disrespect legacy characters in disgusting way and the main character wasn't a Mary Sue. I mean it's so ironic. I bet all my money that when Disney bought Star Wars and first discussed the future ST, one main topic at the start was "how do we avoid such a backlash like during the prequels" (I personally always loved the prequels). And here we 3 Films later, with a backlash 10 times huger then during the prequels and hardcore prequel haters stating that this dumpster fire, Disney calls a triology, is worse then the prequels. Ironic
Agree. The ROS is even worse, it took me three tries to actually watch it to completion (my wife got it as a present on DVD): I'd just fall asleep at about 1/3 in.
@@ArdaSReal Knives Out came out after TLJ and was pretty good, whether you liked TLJ or not. The fact is Rian Johnson is a good director who can make great movies.
Close ups are good at highlighting something important or fostering a claustrophobic feeling in the audience. Using them too much to say "this is important" only makes the audience feel that either nothing is important, everything is small, or both. The movie comes off as tiny in this epic setting. Everything in the movie feels like it's inconsequential. Sure, you can tell an inconsequential story in this setting, but there are payoffs in the film that should be huge and somehow feel like nothing at all. Luke dies in this film and it comes off like a wet fart because by that time the audience realizes that none of it matters. Which is exactly what happens when you put a nihilist in charge of a film like this.
Thank you for this. You are doing the Force's work. Rian wants to be remembered? Allright, we'll make his Legacy a legacy of failure, just like he did to Luke.
@@drhypno6317 i agree. For example the cgi in the OT was really good for its time but you cant say it holds up anymore. But the fans remember it for its story and characters not for its fights (altho i still liked the space battles in ROTJ)
I love Roger Deakins point about cinematography. Everyone orgasms all over Twitter about how pretty the last Jedi is. But that’s not actually cinematography. Just because it looks nice doesn’t excuse poor direction.
I watched it at home with my father invited around who did nothing but tut and look bewildered the entire movie, ending with him saying "what a load of fucking rubbish". Sadly I didn't have the choice to walk out.
I watched the whole thing, but I went out for a loo break during the mary poppins scene, laughing my head off, and sharing baffled 'wtf' looks with the rest of the audience. The 'your mum' scene was the point of lost hope
@@flowinsounds My point of lost hope was when Luke confirmed that he did try to kill Kylo in his sleep. I pretty much tuned out of the movie at the point.
After seeing the Last Jedi, I got a job at a movie theater and I would send patrons to the wrong theater to subvert their expectations. I figured if half the people I sent into the wrong theater liked the movie I chose for them, and the other half hated it, it showed how great I am and recommending movies.
I remember enjoying TFA for the most part. I was looking forward to TLJ, but the trailers left a weird feeling in the back of my mind. I went in to see it with an open mind, had my 10 year old daughter with me. When Luke tossed the lightsaber over his shoulder I knew this was going to be bad. I hung in there giving the movie the benefit of the doubt until the Leia flying through space scene. My whole body literally cringed, catching my daughters attention, and I tried to show her that I was enjoying the movie but it was too late. Even she felt it at 10 years old, it was just bad bad bad. That Leia scene flying through space still makes me cringe to this day when I think about it.
Very comprehensive and excellent work RH. Can't wait for your first tranche of pulp romance. Some suggested titles - _Rise of the Reylo Prince_ , _Fifty Shades of Ruin_ and _That's not a Moon Baby!_
Knives out is a fantastic film, Rian's work on the Breaking Bad episodes he directed is awesome. Let him do stuff he's good at, keep him away from any star wars project though.
11:32 the sword techniques are honestly abismal, with such dramatic movements and succh a wide stance she's waiting for someone with a polearm or even just fists to knock her over.
This is the first Star Wars movie I refused to watch. I heard from fans it was an atrocity and just couldn't subject myself to it. They were right! Great video Robot Head.
I always think of “blocking” as only considering the outer silhouette of each charter in the shot. Basically not looking at the inner detail, but just the cut and profile of the character. If you think of Rian’s cinematographer in that light, taking every character as a silhouette, everything would look like a big bunch, with actors and robots all crowded together as a big mess. I’m not saying you can’t consider the inner detail of a character or object, it’s just while “blocking” this is all I consider when filming.
The throne room fight scene has absolutely no force powers whatsoever despite having TWO force users present, but hey, Kylo randomly stabs the ground for no reason (11:56) and features a vanishing weapon (14:39), so it's a goddamn masterpiece.
No they didn’t. I may despise Disney, but Mandalorian is still a good show and I’m looking forward to season 3. It makes no sense to punish Favreau and Filoni for the errors of a racist, sexist, greedy company with an appetite for consuming beloved IPs. None of that is The Mandalorian’s fault
Tbh The Mandalorian has too many plotholes / deus ex machina (or 'deus ex podex' as I like to call it) moments in many episodes. Beginning of season one was okay, season two made me loose interest in the whole thing. It's douzens of times better than SW 8 or 9 (or Solo), but still far away from awesome. As a cartoon it would have worked better. Just my two cents.
@@emberfist8347 Luke, other Mandalorians out of nowhere.. those are just two examples of deus ex machina. Sacrificing logic and plot for rescue. You Sir, don't even know how to write in english.
@@Ancorarius_DeusExPodex Luke was set much earlier that season when the plot of the tragedy was about Grogu trying contact a Jedi using the sensing stone on Tython. The other Mandalorians were always set up. Din’s tribe appeared all the way back in the first episode and Bo-Katan’s group were the entire reason that Din was on that ocean moon so none of them are deus ex machinas as they need to be out of nowhere
I will never forget when I was waiting in line to watch TLJ I saw the first crowd departing the theater and it looked like they were leaving a funeral. In a way it was. All those faces showed shock, bewilderment, and resigned. Those of us who were waiting were eager, laughing, and ready with anticipation. When I left the theater afterwards I was fking numb and so was the whole group I went with. Haven't seen TROS yet, and not going to bother with it.
I couldn't agree more Mr Astronagol... it is just so easy to get extra angry when driving, maybe because there is no room for error in a big box made of metal and metal. The Incredible Hulk brings into play a couple details from the comics, and of course, the abomination character, or if you wanna go by my nickname for him, "the spiky hulk".
Disney needs to reign in Lucas Film if they ever hope to salvage anything about Star Wars. Part of that is making sure this man can't touch it ever again.
I mean you can dislike the last jedi, and even dislike all his films/TV episodes, but if you actually watch a few of them he is objectively not a bad director.
@@puellamservumaddominum6180 disagree, i had a lot of problems with the last jedi as well, although i think there was a lot of good as well. All his other stuff that ive watched ive really liked, knives out was one of my favourite films i watched last year
@@filmdebating4915 no its not. A director manages the creative process of the entire production, whereas a cinematographer focuses more closely on the visual aspects of a film. And you have film debating in your name and don't know this?
I was playing the vid in the background while doing some paperwork and I swear I thought it was a girl speaking in the beginning of the video, but it was apparently Roundhead Rian XD
Rian Johnson should never be allowed to write,direct nor produce any STAR WARS movie or series. I hope that Dave Filoni won't let rian johnson direct a single episode of season 3 of The Mandaloriane. Its Dave's baby and not rian's
Ironically, Dave Filoni says Rian Johnson is the reason he wanted to do live action Star Wars. Dave said Rian was so kind, helpful, and motivating on the set of the TLJ, which made Dave want to do the mandalorian!

Mark Hamill while filming the milking scene: At least I'm getting $3 million for this nonsense.
I know this is old but DAMN that's not much.
The milking scene was supposed to show how Luke survived the island, and it displayed him as a hermit. Anyways, the scene is less than a minute and has no effect on the plot, so I don't see what the big deal is.
@@justoons2949 What if we saw Luke taking a quick shit? Your sentence would still apply....
@@justoons2949 The scene also shows how far his character has fallen as a living legend/hero which is a HUGE plot point in the last jedi (THE DUDE IS LITERALLY THE LAST JEDI). people don't like that, which surely you acknowledge as being at least a little fair. plus with the way it's framed and acted it just plain looks goofy. idk what else to tell ya.
@@gmonkman A scene where Luke is taking a shit would be far more childish, nasty, and bizarre than the green alien milk scene.
For some reason, I'm reminded of a story Kevin Smith tells on one of his stage shows, about directing Bruce Willis in something, and Bruce asks Kevin what lens he's using for the shot, and Kevin says something like, "A close up..." and Bruce repeats, "What lens are you using for the shot?" Kevin turns and asks the camera guy, and then gives Bruce the answer. Bruce responds, "And why don't you know that?"
Any director that says "I stand by EVERY choice" after they make a film is either a fool or lying.
Even Scorsese constantly questions whether he made the right choices or not. Rian is no Scorsese.
For one, Scorsese is a 78 year old man and Rian is 3 toddlers in a suit.

@@GameOver-vh7py well he kinda is, prequels just prove that he couldnt really direct a movie and wrtite a script on his own without a shit load of people fixing it, like in the OT. He was a guy with vision and great ideas, but he needed all those great actors and directors to make Star Wars work. Prequels only prove that to be right
Or maybe he knows that bashing a movie he made with a studio he is still planning on working with isn't very professional.

I almost walked out of the theater when Rose pulled a “gotcha” moment by crashing her pointless ski speeder into Finn. Instead I remained seated to witness the dumbest scene in all of Star Wars.
There are only two logical ways this scene should have ended.
1. Finn and Rose both die in the crash when she crashed her speeder into his.
2. The First Order soldiers - who were just getting orders to kill everyone a.k.a no prisoners - take one minute to open a lock on the battle-walkers and have a couple Stormtroopers shoot Rose and Finn, who are lying dazed and defenseless right next to them.
And even if for some absurd reason they survive and the First Order just ignores them, they would STILL be dead, because they were good four or five KILOMETERS away from their base and Finn had to dragg a injured person behind him, through a SALT FIELD.
By the time he managed to return the battle should be long over, with them being left behind on Krayt to be hunted down and killed by their enemies.
*Almost*
One of the dumbest moments in movies.

@@lucasoheyze4597 Cane. I'm a dolt.
I never realized that Finn has a grossed-out look on his face when Rose kisses him.
I wonder if Rian put that in deliberately or Finn had no idea about it during the set.
Well it would be assault if it was reserved so it makes sense.
It is volunteer to show that Finn doesn’t understand why Rose kisses him and that it isn’t a dumb romance like everyone thought. But you will just ignore this detail only to complain about this very rigorous and precise directing style.

Interesting detail: Star Wars 1-6 were filmed like documentaries. Camera almost never moves and the characters are in the centre of the frame.
According to George, the story was being told by R2-D2 to species in the far future.
SW 1-3 filming is really bad.
Just characters walking from place A to place B and a series of shots/countershots.
@@Arkanthrall It is called less is more. too many closeups and crap like that really make a movie hard to follow I know from experience.
@@emberfist8347 This doesn't excuse Lucas for being lazy.
@@Arkanthrall Director's job isn't just camera work. Lucas was kinda busy crearing the story, characters and designs.
You make some excellent points here. Most people aren't aware of what 'direction' or 'cinematography' actually mean. They think if there's a pretty image in a movie, that's good cinematography. It's actually defined as the art of telling a story using camera and lighting. This means camera placement/movement/focus/framing, use of suitable color and light, etc. in order to make not a picture, but cinema - moving images that convey a sense of what's going on, both atmospherically and narratively. In other words, to tell a story.
What those people are admiring is the set/costume/prop design, mostly.
I feel bad for all the actors, especially john boyega. He seems so talented
Disney was all too eager to emasculate the charismatic black guy.
Rian: "Wait, you want Finn, the black man, to be a jedi and a hero, not some dumb comic relief?!
Hahaha haha hehe he hohooho ha! No."
They did him dirty and used him like a Jim Crow era comic relief
Where is he talented? Where is he charismatic? Didn't notice it.
Blame it on JJ Abrams who completely wasted him in The Rise of Skywalker. In The Last Jedi at least he had a character arc.

I’ve been watching Star Wars my whole life and I will never ever forget how angry and embarrassed I was for being a Star Wars fan after watching each other the sequel movies.
I love that there is so much disgust and scorn for Rian Johnson's handling of Star Wars. He deserves it. Terrible story and direction.
Your reading my mind
Oh yes. The way he handled Luke Skywalker was just terrible.
The moment Disney decided to not go with Lucas' plans for eps 7, 8 and 9, it was all over. What does the creator of Star Wars know about Star Wars anyway? Such arrogance from Mickey.
I wouldn't worry tbh, in 40 years the CGI will wither away and then the story will have to stand on its own. When that happens people will realize that it's shit, it's a very bad story.
He does deserve to be called out for handling the story terribly. But he and everyone else who worked on the film do not deserve to be harassed or threatened over it.
"Why rian johnson should stay away from star wars" *puts up a picture of episode 8*
'Nuff said!
Indeed!
"Why we should give Rian another chance"
puts up a picture of everything else he's done
That throne room fight scene will not be forgotten on how terrible it is
I still don't want to who the hell designed those costumes you can't see out of them.
Rey is flat footed and keeps her weight on her heels.
Before the knife disappeared, the vanishing knife is seen travelling the path over Rey's lower torso... That's a disembowelling shot right there and even with cauterisation the floor should have been a slip and slide of Rey's entrails if that guy was serious about killing Rey.
It’s treason then.
Not as terrible as the fights in the prequels where every choreography is forced and we don’t feel the danger.
"And who has a better story than Rian Johnson?"
"EVERYONE!"
I can totally picture that last part as shouted by Gary Oldman's character in Leon: The Professional.
Impressive, everything you just said was wrong.
William Seabrook Indeed, no one is a perfect writer.
Yeah. "You have 1 minute to make up a fanstory for Star Wars set 30 years in the future from Return of the Jedi." I bet 90% of what anyone wanting complete the task would come up with, would be better than the Disney films, yet they shoot this....and The rise of Palpatine and TFA.
Write 100 plots, run them through 100 fans and see what floats on paper and shoot one of the best ones, not the worst ones. And use a good director, you can afford it. How could a studio fail such simple tasks?
Disney should sell the rights to Star Wars.

Finally a good take on Rian as a bad director and poor cinematography of The Last Jedi. Way too much talk is spent on the writing and themes which tricks people into thinking the other aspects are not as bad. They are. Thanks, Robot Head.
I'll just put this out there: I recently watched _Knives Out,_ which was written and directed by Johnson, and it was a very capably told and directed movie. It's hard to imagine that the same person who made this movie is the same person who put together the mess that was _Last Jedi._

NPC moment. You're no better than Rian shills.
When I finally watched this movie, I was amazed at how bad it looked. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was just bad. It looked almost cartoonish or something. You explained it really well.
Same here. I really disliked the looks and cut of many scenes. Now I understand that the choices and hence the material was crap when entering the cutting room.
I think the writing was mediocre and then they went into filming, totally overwhelmed by all the stuff they had to manage. Many of the stupid mistakes and bad choices just seem very rushed. No time to do it better?
Knowing the american approach to health and job performance, i guess Rian was just drugged away. to not feel his anxiety for the ongoing fuckup. A present director should have taken corrective action at some point. Take another year to work out the movie before you bury a feckin' franchise...
In that scene with Rey practicing with the lightsabre on the rock there's an above shot but with no reflection of the light from the sabre off its wet surface. That part stuck out like dogs balls to me but no one else seemed to notice it.
I just noticed when Rey stabs one of the guards at 11:55 the guy she stabs is behind another guard. This vital info is hidden from us because they failed at blocking the scene, well on top of everything else wrong with this fight scene.

But when there’s an already established series with a way of storytelling and we have 6/7 movies to see how characters act and react to situations, he’s an awful option.

Have a nice day man.
Close ups are good at highlighting something important or fostering a claustrophobic feeling in the audience. Using them too much to say "this is important" only makes the audience feel that either nothing is important, everything is small, or both. The movie comes off as tiny in this epic setting. Everything in the movie feels like it's inconsequential. Sure, you can tell an inconsequential story in this setting, but there are payoffs in the film that should be huge and somehow feel like nothing at all. Luke dies in this film and it comes off like a wet fart because by that time the audience realizes that none of it matters.
Which is exactly what happens when you put a nihilist in charge of a film like this.
Boredom is subjective. You found this movie boring, this is your opinion, it doesn’t mean everyone will find the movie boring.

I remember enjoying TFA for the most part. I was looking forward to TLJ, but the trailers left a weird feeling in the back of my mind. I went in to see it with an open mind, had my 10 year old daughter with me. When Luke tossed the lightsaber over his shoulder I knew this was going to be bad. I hung in there giving the movie the benefit of the doubt until the Leia flying through space scene. My whole body literally cringed, catching my daughters attention, and I tried to show her that I was enjoying the movie but it was too late. Even she felt it at 10 years old, it was just bad bad bad. That Leia scene flying through space still makes me cringe to this day when I think about it.

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p The dude actually has physical plot armour. I found that really funny.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p You forget all the times he almost died
The throne room fight scene has absolutely no force powers whatsoever despite having TWO force users present, but hey, Kylo randomly stabs the ground for no reason (11:56) and features a vanishing weapon (14:39), so it's a goddamn masterpiece.
In recent months, Disney has destroyed all the goodwill Favreau and Filoni painstakingly tried to build with the Mandalorian.
No they didn’t. I may despise Disney, but Mandalorian is still a good show and I’m looking forward to season 3. It makes no sense to punish Favreau and Filoni for the errors of a racist, sexist, greedy company with an appetite for consuming beloved IPs.
None of that is The Mandalorian’s fault
Tbh The Mandalorian has too many plotholes / deus ex machina (or 'deus ex podex' as I like to call it) moments in many episodes. Beginning of season one was okay, season two made me loose interest in the whole thing. It's douzens of times better than SW 8 or 9 (or Solo), but still far away from awesome. As a cartoon it would have worked better. Just my two cents.
@@Ancorarius_DeusExPodex You don’t what a plot hole or a Deus Ex Machina are
@@emberfist8347 Luke, other Mandalorians out of nowhere.. those are just two examples of deus ex machina. Sacrificing logic and plot for rescue. You Sir, don't even know how to write in english.
@@Ancorarius_DeusExPodex Luke was set much earlier that season when the plot of the tragedy was about Grogu trying contact a Jedi using the sensing stone on Tython. The other Mandalorians were always set up. Din’s tribe appeared all the way back in the first episode and Bo-Katan’s group were the entire reason that Din was on that ocean moon so none of them are deus ex machinas as they need to be out of nowhere
Drinking game idea: every time the word “close-up” is uttered, take a shot. It’s super fun, and you totally won’t di-
Wow, you even managed to type in a hyphen before you keeled over?
Oh bloody hell no. I don’t want him to do that! He’s gonna kill it again!
I will never forget when I was waiting in line to watch TLJ I saw the first crowd departing the theater and it looked like they were leaving a funeral. In a way it was. All those faces showed shock, bewilderment, and resigned. Those of us who were waiting were eager, laughing, and ready with anticipation. When I left the theater afterwards I was fking numb and so was the whole group I went with.
Haven't seen TROS yet, and not going to bother with it.
This man takes all my feeling about the sequel movies and puts it perfectly into amazing videos.
I couldn't agree more Mr Astronagol... it is just so easy to get extra angry when driving, maybe because there is no room for error in a big box made of metal and metal. The Incredible Hulk brings into play a couple details from the comics, and of course, the abomination character, or if you wanna go by my nickname for him, "the spiky hulk".
@@MrWinstonABailey um what???
It’s treason then.
Yeah, the sequel movies suck don't they?
Doomlovesearth2 well, Rise Of Skywalker sucks and wastes the potential of the sequels.
Now that I think of it, had Mark Hamill held out, that could have FORCED it to be a better movie.
Had Mark Hamill held out they would have wrote him out. Disney doesn't give a shit.
Yeah, most likely.
Disney needs to reign in Lucas Film if they ever hope to salvage anything about Star Wars. Part of that is making sure this man can't touch it ever again.
I mean you can dislike the last jedi, and even dislike all his films/TV episodes, but if you actually watch a few of them he is objectively not a bad director.
Sorry he is good cinematographer, that's why the last jedi all looks good. He is HORRIBLE director.
@@puellamservumaddominum6180 disagree, i had a lot of problems with the last jedi as well, although i think there was a lot of good as well. All his other stuff that ive watched ive really liked, knives out was one of my favourite films i watched last year
@@spookyjames840 I have not watched Knives Out but have seen his other work like looper. Still trying to burn that garbage from my head.
@@puellamservumaddominum6180 cinematographer and director is the exact same thing.
@@filmdebating4915 no its not.
A director manages the creative process of the entire production, whereas a cinematographer focuses more closely on the visual aspects of a film.
And you have film debating in your name and don't know this?
I knew that this episode would come out sooner or later, and you did not disappoint
I was playing the vid in the background while doing some paperwork and I swear I thought it was a girl speaking in the beginning of the video, but it was apparently Roundhead Rian XD
Rian Johnson should never be allowed to write,direct nor produce any STAR WARS movie or series. I hope that Dave Filoni won't let rian johnson direct a single episode of season 3 of The Mandaloriane. Its Dave's baby and not rian's
Ironically, Dave Filoni says Rian Johnson is the reason he wanted to do live action Star Wars. Dave said Rian was so kind, helpful, and motivating on the set of the TLJ, which made Dave want to do the mandalorian!
I remember leaving the theater thinking. Well that's definitely a movie.
