My favorite-est moments in Star Wars:
Ep. I = Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul
Ep. II = Jango and Obi-Wan in the astroid belt with the sonic blasts
Ep. III = Anything with Palpatine (especially the Darth Plagueis monologue)
Solo = The Kessel Run ("I've got a really good feeling about this.")
Rogue One = Vader scene. Obvs.
Ep. IV = Rescuing Leia/the trash compactor
Ep. V = Vader vs. Luke (also just everything with Yoda)
Ep. VI = Speeder bike chase
Ep. VII = Finn & Rey & the Millennium Falcon vs. the TIE fighters
Ep. VIII = Luke and Yoda
Ep. I - Lightsaber duel
Ep. II - Arena battle
Ep. III - Paplatine
Solo - Han in the imperial academy
RO - Hologram scene
Ep. IV - Binary Sunset
Ep. V - The entire 3rd act
Ep. VI - Throne Room
Ep. VII - The entire 1st act
Ep. VIII - Luke vs Kylo Ren
Pretty much the same except
Ep. II = Count Dooku
Ep. III = Obi Wan vs Anakin
Ep. VI = Luke vs Vader (vs Palpatine)
Ep. VII = Han Solo (Not his death)
Ep. VIII = Hyper Kamikaze (Despite some people's opinions)
*Super* good choices. Holdo's hyperspace ram is just the dopest thing in the universe. The whole theater just stopped breathing at that part every time I went to see it.
Crazy good video. You put into words how I feel while watching star wars!
My top 3 moments:
1. Epidosde 3: Anakin V Obi Wan
2. Episode 3: The Last Time Anakin and Obi Wan see each other as friends
3. Rogue One: Vader Scene
Ep. 1- same
Ep. 2- Anakin’s first taste of the dark side (all though brief watching his mother die in his arms and his subsequent murder of the two sand people is powerfully heartbreaking)
Ep. 3- the battle of heroes (parallel climactic duels)
Solo- the gratuitous maul reveal lol
Honestly this movie did nothing for me.
RO- SAME (obviously)
Ep. 4- Han and Luke shooting down tie fighters onboard the millennium falcon after they escaped the Death Star
Ep.5- same
Ep.6- literally any scene with Luke. (Let’s be honest he carries this movie)
Ep.7- the battle of takodana (traitor!)
Ep.8- when projection Luke exists the blown open bay doors and faces down the first order. (Personally indifferent towards this movie)
Your tender, empathetic, non-aggressive and nuanced sensitivities are just what the TH-cam landscape needs right now.
Agreed
I mean using this point of view. Nazi Germany was very empatheic and non-aggressive.
@@jerm70 wat
@@ATATChat I am saying that in the same way Make Stuff was very empathetic and non-aggressive in the same way Nazi Germany was very empathetic and non-aggressive. Which is key to saying Make Stuff is very empathetic only to the people who thinks like him and no one else.
His major points within his own video are derived from the idea that criticism of anything is bad unless its the criticism of criticism.
@@ATATChat I wouldn't go as far as saying what xxjermxx70 said, but he has a solid point. I like HoustonProductions1, but I wonder how he got to the conclusion that this video is empathetic, nuanced and non-aggressive. It's loads better than some of the TLJ defense videos out there, sure, but I'm still left feeling condescended and talked down to for disliking The Last Jedi. The fact that there are no clips of people who didn't like the film but only clips of people who did, is very telling to me.
This is genuinely one of the best videos I've seen all year, and I'm proud to have played a small part in it. May the force be with y'all!
oh man, as someone who liked The Last Jedi and has received a ton of hate for that in discussions online, this video made me feel like a heavy wheight was taken off my chest, thank you for making me be proud of being a Star Wars fan again, this video really meant a lot to me.
I totally understand what you mean. I was seriously thinking about it at night, because people where straight up making trash of me for liking it. Our beloved fan base has become more toxic then ever... :(
@@milan_gielis Same here. I really think someone in a high rank at Google disliked the new movies and decided to promote videos which criticize or even rant about those movies. If it wasn't for Google who profit off controversy, the star wars fandom could've been less toxic.
Thank you. Just...Thank you for this video.
I'm a The Last Jedi fan, and I felt like I was wrong for liking it. And you just saved me. You saved my love for Star Wars. Thank you for doing this.
I'm in tears now. Thank you so much.
What you said about the Empire's director was awesome. Thank you.
You are still wrong for liking this movie, and this guy didn't save you, he just give you More reason to dig your grave for beeing this stupid.
@@motor4X4kombat I hope Rian is suffering a LOT in the pile of money that the movie made, alongside all the awards and positive reviews from the specialized critics who loved the movie.
I hope that some day you can join me and Rian while we laugh on our pile of happiness and joy for the movie.
Have a great day, boomer ;)
I think that John Green put it best when he said "Imagine others as complexly as you imagine yourself." We are all extremely complicated people with complicated histories. When we treat others like they're anything less, then we fall victim to hatred and toxicity.
Is this my boy John Green from Crash Course history?...I love that man.
wow, all these young fans. I was in theaters in 77. I was a fan the moment the words "A long time ago"....flashed across the screen. Amazing times.
I was in the theatre in '77 and was an instant fan as well. What a journey it's been!
Summer of 77, saw it 3 times in the theaters
That was ‘a long time ago’
Lol, that’s sweet, crazy how diverse this community is!
Been a fan since '02 with AOTC. My 7 year old is now a fan and she's a huge fan of Rey!
Y'all old 😉
I was on a 3 hour rage-inducing streak of videos from pepole hating the movie as much as I do... And then I found this. Thank you for making me realize I was falling to the dark side without even noticing. You gained a new padawan.
@@sowmithreddy8178 as if this brought balnce to the fandom ( i know its just the Title) the ironic thing is TRO made almsot evryone dissapointed
I remember coming out of the cinema and absolutely loving TLJ. I was shocked to find out, that some people have devoted themselves to destroy this movie and the one who enjoyed it with hate. I hope your video reaches a greater audience, it's really well made!
Same here. I saw the midnight showing, I loved it, went home to bed, woke up to find the movie being treated like the Holocaust. I was pretty devastated, and eventually I was pulled into disliking the movie myself. This video has made me realize that there is no reason to join a side just because it's so forced on you.
Me too.
So I had this playing in my headphones as I was leaving my doctor’s office, and when I got to my car I looked over and saw the car across from mine had a Star Wars sunscreen, it was a still from A New Hope with the cast in the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit. At the same time I think you said “Star Wars is for everyone” or something along those lines, and I started cracking up in the parking lot... I just finished the video and I have to say, you are one of the most wonderful, thoughtful, empathetic, and amazing human beings I’ve ever known.... thank you for making my day and life that much better
I have that star wars sunshade LOL
"There's a hundred things that human being loves that you do too." What a wonderful reminder about the need to try and find common ground.
I absolutely loved how you took themes and quotes from the movies to dissect what's going on with the fandom and the reaction to TLJ. If we were to all use what we learned (or were supposed to learn) from the Star Wars films themselves, we would probably get along much better, despite whatever our differences of opinions might be about some movie. Bravo.
"If we used the lessons the films we claim to love taught us, we'd probably get along better."
Every fandom in a nutshell!
Is there any reason in particular that any EFAP related comments have been deleted?
Yep! As I mentioned in the video, people should be able to have some spaces where they can just enjoy a harmless thing they like without a bunch of other people needlessly challenging that enjoyment or calling them assholes, idiots, objectively wrong, etc. In the same way that, if I'm just chilling with my friends watching an old, fun slasher film, I wouldn't especially appreciate dozens of people coming into that space, pointing out all the plot inconsistencies and everything they didn't personally like about the character portrayals. Whether or not those other people are justified in their distaste, people need spaces where they can just enjoy things. And those spaces are generally better when there's a social dynamic with mutual fans (like I also mention in the video). Especially right now, when simple joys are often the things keeping people going through these absolutely terrible, terrifying times. (I know that's absolutely the case for me these days, still recovering from an especially shitty/scary bout with covid, where I was told over and over how much stress can worsen my condition/immune system.) So I thought it'd be cool to make this video/comment section one of those spaces! Which is why I've moderated the comments so that people can just talk about a thing they like and enjoy other people's positive experiences with that thing, too. It's also why I've not only deleted EFAP stuff, but also dozens of comments from people shitting on EFAP fans and TLJ haters, as well as comments from prequel haters, etc. - the moderation is nowhere near confined to just EFAP folks. I understand a lot of folks find this to somehow be morally reprehensible or censorship, but, in the same way that I'd lock the door if I saw those dozens of people coming to crash my slasher film get-together, I'm entirely comfortable with using the moderation tools yt has given me to create whatever nonharmful space I want on my personal channel. Luckily for EFAP folks, they've still got their own space (and the entirety of the rest of the internet) for the conversations they wanna have :]
@@MakeStuffStudios So basically you just want an echo chamber, brilliant... I hope you never come across the shocking truth that people disagree with you and will counter your arguments.
@@RikkiSan1 I'm sorry, are you under the impression that I somehow don't see every single comment? If it's sincere constructive criticism, you're still reaching the person you're criticizing. Why would my viewers need to see your criticism meant for me?
@@MakeStuffStudios No I'm not...in fact I was afraid you were gonna delete my comment too. Dude...correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression that I got from this video was "Don't be mean to things I like" and that's not to mock you...that is all I got. Throughout this video you make unsubstantiated biased claims, your appeal to emotion seems fake, and you make yourself look like you and the people you featured are the "ideal SW fans" and that you should just blindly accept everything Star Wars because "Oh we're a fandom". You didn't restore balance...if anything videos like this is why the fandom IS UNBALANCED. Also...maybe...just maybe...your viewers SHOULD see criticism of you so that they can question your logic as well as their own in order to stimulate discussion and maybe have POINTS OF VIEW. And hopefully you as a content creator can better yourself from said criticism!
The video is literally about how fans of films (even if it's only some of the films, or even if it's only Star Wars Racers, etc. - something I say throughout the video) understand that there are people who dislike certain films, and still need spaces where they can enjoy whatever individual films they enjoy without harassment instead of getting sucked into debates and arguments. It's also a call for not going out of your way to attack people for liking or disliking a Star Wars film. My entire plea boils down to "there should be some spaces where people can just enjoy a thing" and I've stuck to that plea by working to make this video one of those places, since it's one of the few spaces I have the power to do that. And your response to my wanting a positive space is "you should allow negative things in this positive space". It's no different from salty men who crash women-only gatherings that are meant to be specific, designated spaces in which people can just escape from their hellish existence for two seconds of their life. You have the entirety of the internet to make whatever arguments against this video. People on this website have literally profited off of exactly that. And I habe zero problems with those other spaces existing. But to act like it's some great evil, or even unreasonable, that you're not allowed to burst into the middle of a fan club meeting to force everyone to listen to why *you* think Thing is Bad is honestly (and concerningly) one of the most bizarre, entitled, and selfish things I've heard. Let people enjoy a thing in a space designated for enjoy a thing. Don't like the thing? Cool, Mauler's got you covered. And you can keep commenting on the video so that I see your criticisms until your fingers bleed. I'm honestly totally cool with that. But I set out to replicate the environment of "it's okay to find common ground on a popular thing, no matter what you like or don't like," and the gals, guys, and otherwise who can't sleep at night because I kicked them out of the fan club for being disruptive will continue to live, with all of their rights and EFAP vids intact.
It seems like it sincerely hurts you that your otherwise wholly unobstructed opinions are being excluded from the comments section of one of the hundreds of billions of videos on the internet. And that you seem to sincerely care about whatever severe damage might be done to the other minds who see this comment section and are somehow incapable of conjuring an informed and reasoned opinion towards what I've created without your direct and vital input. I do think you're sincere in your perspective. But I think that's more an issue with your thinking you're entitled to have a voice in every single aspect of the lives of any and every total stranger about whatever harmless thing they like. Which you aren't. You really, really aren't.
If you feel like talking about some random Star Wars stuff you dig, you've come to the right place! Let's have some actual fun talking about how kickass the Thrawn novels are, or that Mace Windu episode of Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, or the bonkers sound design on Jango Fett's seismic bombs👌👌 I would sincerely love to hear your opinions on that front. And from there we could find even more common ground and maybe even form a friendship, because I'm sure you are a pretty awesome person, despite our differences in opinions on Last Jedi, Make Stuff videos, or comment section entitlement. Which sounds like a sincerely kickass use of our time :]
My favorite moment in Star Wars is the opening scene of Episode 4, I know it’s pretty basic but I’ll never not get shot into the middle of a galactic civil war when I see those two wonderful models fly across the screen.
SO good. What I wouldn't give to jump in a time machine and see that on its original theatrical run.
I'm watching this in the gym and I literally started clapping at the end for a second. Excellent job, man. I'm off to find a new gym.
Into exile I must go...
search for qui gon gym
Why are you watching TH-cam vids in the gym? Hahaha
Lmao
@@justanothernerd95-o3s he's finding inspiration to get them beautiful abs like yoda
I have seen the link to this video floating around on twitter. I started it, had to stop, and finally today came back to it. I just want to thank you for putting such a thoughtful video together. Fantastic work! I know it wasn't easy and that it took so much time, but it is worth it for all of us. Thank you.
Rey's theme is so beautiful, calming and amazing.
Rey too, i love her character, inspirantion, her emotions when she talks about her parents, her luke's relation, for me, she is just as amazing as the first hero (luke Skywalker).
Edit: thanks for the heart, i aprecciate that. Im from Brazil, and your channel is helping me to learn english too, because it is so well written and sayed!
And im really excited for episode 9, the resolution of all those characters that i really care about.
cachorro legal same
@@shack8110 I mean none of Star Wars makes sense. Why do the sith perpetually keep their soon to be killers around? why did darth vader need a suit if it was the emperor's force power that was keeping him alive? Why did the Death Star have such a stupid weakness? why did they rebuild a structure that ultimately had the same tactical flaw as the first, (being clunky and expensive)? What did Obi-Wan actually do after becoming "more powerful than you could possibly imagine", he talked to Luke a bit? What part of the plot is Darth Vader being Luke's father actually relevant to, and how does it even make sense given the evidence we have from the films before it's revealed, and we're supposed to buy that Luke actually would believe his enemy just for... reasons?
Just admit that you didn't like TLJ because of subjective reasons. Don't try to make it about "making sense".
Rey is a character who has fundamentally impacted who I am as a person, and I love her for that. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if I hadn’t seen her on the big screen as a kid.
@@catioroforasterodeloeste4790 Did you enjoy EP.9?
Thank you for putting to video/words/music/captions the thoughts I've had about TLJ since the launch of the movie.
Sure there may be some less than magical moments in the movie, but there are also some truly wonderful moments to balance out the harder to take moments.
I appreciate that everyone has their own opinion, but ever since Disney has taken over the SW Universe, my enjoyment has been diminished simply because too many people lash out and spew hate for something because it isn't what they want. It's so frustrating.
Thank you for being thoughtful, kind and awesome.
Tim Mack ❤️❤️❤️👌🏽
I was one of your first 100 subscribers, and it’s insane how fast you’ve grown! You always put so much effort into your videos, and it always shows! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come as a youtuber and I can’t wait for what’s next!
That's so awesome to hear!!
I loved "the Last Jedi", and you nailed the reason why. TLJ is about failure, over and over and over again.
The whole movie is watching your heroes fail, and failure is scary. But the point of the movie is that failure is not necessarily desolation. Failure can be the catalyst for growth. It was a story of how to be optimistic when everything is falling apart.
But that that is not a new concept for starwars, the prequels showed the failure of the Jedi Order, a major part of The Emprie Strikes Back was Luke failing, failing to protect his friends and failing to listen to his teacher, then her learned from this failing and was able to bring his father back from the dark side
@@TheFreakKid12. You're right that failure is a prominent theme in several of the movies. But, IMO, none of the main films make that the central point of the movie. All of them show some significant triumph at the end, except RotS. And none of them as as beaten at the end. Even in RotS, the Senate is still a thing and there is still a loose network of powerful people resisting. At the end of TLJ, everyone fighting the first order is more or less jammed onto the Millennium Falcon. There is no more fleet, likely no more cash, and no more than 20-40 people in the whole thing.
I find that tension very exciting.
@@joranbooth5529 I can see that, personally I don't feel that tension, even though the resistance/rebellion is at the lowest point we have ever seen them at, I don't think that they will fail. I'm not intimidated by either Kylo or Hux, Rey has beaten Kylo essentially twice now, once when he was physically and mentally impaired (the force awakens, which is more understandable why she could win) and then again in the Last Jedi, she was able to recover from their battle/the ship crash (whichever one caused their incapacitation) and left to go save the resistance, so I don't doubt her ability to do it again. and Hux has been downgraded from Kylo's equal to just a sniveling yes-man so if Kylo loses that seems like game over for the First Order. hopefully Episode 9 knocks it out of the park, but currently im not too excited for it.
@@TheFreakKid12 I can see your point and it makes sense where you are coming from. As always, movies are subjective, and not everyone has to like them. :)
What I loved in each movie
Anh : the trench run
Esb : attack on hoth
Rotj : the entire battle of endor + final duel
Tpm : podracingggg !!
Aotc : beginning of the clone wars
Rots : if a clone is in the scene , I love it + Anakin going vader + battle of the heroes + the opening scene (I love this movie so much)
Tfa : falcon escaping jakku+ xwings on starkiller base
R 1 : everything
Tlj : opening battle +
Rey self training then cutting the rock +
Holdo manoeuvre +
Defence of crait +
"Reach out "
The music
Luke's speech + trolling ben + dodging ben
Solo : everything tbh
darth fury I love loving star wars fans
Look at all the moments in TLJ! It's beautiful!
GREAT STUFF MAN.
For real though, this was incredibly thorough and encompasses what I think are how a lot of people feel about not just this specific community, but frankly a ton of different kinds of communities. Star Wars is merely a microcosm of the conversations you touch on, distilled down into elements that are related specifically to Star Wars.
You're 100% right. Not only if we as a community of folks who love a thing want to survive as a community, but we as a SOCIETY are meant to survive.
Pulling out that quote in the end might be the biggest flex in TH-cam criticism history
THE LAST JEDI DIDN'T GO THE WAY I WANTED TO, SO I WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY ELSE HATE IT AND I WILL GO AROUND TH-cam PUTTING ANGRY COMMENTS IN ALL-CAPS POINTING OUT THE INCONSISTENCIES IN TLJ AND SCOFFING AT ANYBODY WHO POINTS OUT INCONSISTENCIES IN ANY OF MY BELOVED, HOLY OT MOVIES ARRGGGHHHH!!!
Serious, that's how so many SWU fanbois and stans sound. I had a similar viewing pattern as you too: first time I saw TLJ, I thought it was alright, second time, I thought it was bad, third time, I realized it was an instant classic. I realized how brilliant it was, how the characters were suddenly human and had flaws, etc. It's a phenomenal character study on so many of the characters. If someone doesn't like it, that's fine. Just don't go arguing with me and saying it was terrible, because Star Wars is loaded with terrible inconsistencies that kinda take me out of it... but I don't care, Star Wars rocks! People calling it "feminist propaganda" need to read newspaper articles from the 70's that call Ep. IV the same thing, just because Leia was a fuckin' badass bitch and wasn't the classic damsel-in-distress trope.
God, you're pathetic.
I was born the year the first one came out but when I was old enough to watch it I was hooked. I still remember my dad coming into port from the Navy and picking me up from pre school. He brought me home early, I wanted peanut butter and jelly, a dill pickle, and chocolate milk for lunch and we say in the floor and watched it. I fell asleep during the movie but, that's literally my first memory of my father. My kids never showed interest in them but after the force awakens came out they both agreed to go to the movies with me and watch it. that weekend we came home and my daughter's and I watched 4, 5, 6 then 1, 2, 3. and it was probably one of the most emotional things I've ever done. My dad is gone now, and he never knew them. But I'd like to think I left them with the same experience he left me with, and in that, he still touched their lives. Star Wars can do no wrong by me.
Empathy, kindness, fair reasoning. You have the spirit of a true Jedi. 😊
"And because of that, you must die." Wait, what? I mean ... dammit, Snoke. Why you always gotta be a downer? Can't we just, I dunno, play Scrabble or something? Even Death played Battleship with the San Dimas boys.
True jedi

Lego star wars reference
More like the spirit of the new progressives. I piss on you, now tell me how much you enjoy the rain. Let's be friends. 😁
A true jedi would threaten to kill their nephew
@@turtleboy1188 Nah, Mace Windu wouldn't have threatened. He'd have done it
My very favorite moment is Yoda lifting Luke’s x-wing out of the swamp. Close second is the reveal of Luke levitating on Ahch-To as he projects his image across the galaxy. Goosebumps every time!
I used to love the prequels more than the originals. Episode 3 was my favorite. Then people bashed everyone who did. They executed order 66 on the prequel lovers so I pulled a Yoda and went into exile.
FrostByte Films and now it’s like if you don’t like them you’re not a real fan
@@KentKaliber Just because the original trilogy was beloved by millions worldwide, doesn't automatically make it "better." This is your opinion. If he likes the prequel trilogy, let him like it, that's his opinion.
people put the OT on a pedestal. I personally prefer the PT
The prequels may not be excellent movies, but they're my childhood and I'll always love them. Other Star Wars fans are always surprised when I say episode 3 is my favorite, but I'll always stand by that movie.
I used to be one of the people who really disliked the prequels. I never bashed the people themselves who liked them-my best friend really likes them, so that would be a hard position for me to take-but I was always happy to rant at length about what I thought was wrong with the films. But, seeing how awful some of the criticism of the sequels is has mellowed my opinions on the prequels a lot. I'd rather focus on the fact that we both love Star Wars and build on that. (P.S. Your Order 66 metaphor is awesome!)
Bravo! Thank you for this. My favorite Star Wars moment is the moment Obi-Wan tells Anakin that he was his brother... it rips my heart open every time.
Saaaaaaame 😭😭
THANK YOU so much for making this! I've been making the same arguments for over a decade but could never communicate it as effectively as you have. This is by far the best video about TLJ and Star Wars fandom I've ever seen.
This is possibly the best (and most necessary) video on all of TH-cam.
We needed that video so much. Thank you.
My favorite-est moments in Star Wars:
Ep. I = Senate Debates (yes, for real ! Seeing how this republic worked and dissolved felt so real)
Ep. II = Obi-Wan and Skywalker chasing the would-be assassin in Coruscant.
Ep. III = Vader's operation (being there, at that moment !) while Padme gives birth to Luke and Leia.
Solo = The hijack.
Rogue One = The whole ground/space battle.
Ep. IV = The Trench run.
Ep. V = Carbon Freezing scene and its amazing score.
Ep. VI = The space battle.
Ep. VII = The Millenium Falcon escaping Jaku.
Ep. VIII = The chills when I realised Luke wasn't fighting, wasn't even there, and yet won.
"See ya round kid".
Terrific, empathetic video, with the best mic drop ending I have experienced in a long, long time. I was moved to tears. Thank you!
That might actually be my favorite TH-cam video of all time. I took me on an emotional journey just like Star Wars does, and I was left clapping with goosebumps at the end, once again just like Star Wars does. Please, Make Stuff, be the director of the world's future!
You know you're a fucking Star Wars nerd when you recognize the song being played on the piano in the beginning and know how to play it on piano yourself
Absolutely one of my favourite videos about movies on this platform. Great job!
My favorite moment is the scene i Episode III where Obi Wan says he loved Anakin, and Anakin responds with pure hatred before going up in flames. Great emotional content, and solidified Obi Wan as my favorite character.
Literally got a lump in my throat just thinking about Obi-Wan in that scene. He so sincerely wants to help Anakin up to the very end. So heartbreaking.
Man! Can't stop watching this! I loved the nuance in this film and nice to see you addressing it, and the whole love of Star Wars! Got chills throughout.
💜
For me, I'd say...
Episode I - that moment when Qui-Gon touches Obi-Wan's face after being injured by Maul
Episode II - that moment when Anakin touches Padmé's lower back when they're looking out on the lake
Episode III - when Palpatine tells the tale of Darth Plaqueis during the opera scene
Solo - when I recognized Lady Proxima to be voiced by Oscar-winner, Linda Hunt
Rogue One - when Jyn and Cassian embraced as the blast approached them
Episode IV - Luke looking at the twin suns of Tatooine, contemplating his future + Alec Guiness' reaction to Han's claim about the Kessel Run + Carrie Fisher's delivery of the line, "Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, flyboy!"
Episode V - anything Yoda-related + the Mark Hamill's reaction when Vader reveals his paternal secret
Episode VI - James Earl Jones' delivery of "It's too late for me, son."
Episode VII - the way Han touches Ben/Kylo's face before he falls off the catwalk
Episode VIII - so many!!! if I had to distill it to several... Leia trying to impress upon Poe the difference between heroes and leaders + Leia using the Force when she neared death + seeing the subjective differences during the 3 successive flashbacks of when Luke contemplated preventing the Dark Side fallout of what Ben might become + the Praetorian Guard fight along with the subsequent dialogue + lastly, the callback to Luke becoming one with the Force as he stared at the twins suns of Ahch-To
Empathy, in my opinion, is the ultimate ideal all humankind should strive toward. Empathy makes you a better person in every way, it stops conflict before it can even begin, and it connects us all to each other in mind and heart. I have actively spent my life since a very young age honing my sense of empathy, my ability to understand others and allowing that understanding to influence and motivate my actions, and it is the one thing I like enough about myself to actually admit it.
I love the message of this video so much. And if that wasn't enough, your editing skills are top notch. Altogether this makes for a video that is beautiful both visually, and in its intent.
Thank you for making this!
Prequel fans had to endure this venomous hatred for years and I would never mock and ridicule the Sequel fans the same way OT fans did to us.
I have been so confused by the comments saying "Star Wars movies were always great because they appealed to everyone and Last Jedi is the first one to separate the fandom." Like, that is so thoroughly inaccurate.
@@MakeStuffStudios People.... have disliked movies before? What is this madness?
This video is exactly what not only the Star Wars fandom needs, but all of the fandoms that have dipped into toxicity. I really liked the idea of unity and positivity.
I'm a bigger fan of the original trilogy, but for the sake of positivity- my favorite recent memory was seeing Rogue One in theatres. It's my favorite of the new films and seeing more of the universe that wasn't Skywalker/Kenobi centric was refreshing. And that Vader scene....
Oh god that scene was stunning. I loved rogue ones story, but jesus the 2hrs before that closing 5 minutes was basically a vehicle to remind people why some characters will live on in eternity.
You made the most important piece of stars wars fan media in a decade. Congrats!
Agreed!
I have been a Star Wars fan for almost all my life.
I still am. I love all the movies in different ways.
But what I love most about Star Wars is that it's one of the few series that binds the generational gap.
It brings joy to my heart seeing little kids dressed as their favorite characters and knowing that no matter the hatred that is spewed at the new films, this generation will be the ones defending them later on just as my generation gave a new voice to the prequels.
criminally underwatched and undersubbed, sharing this out NOW
This video is a masterpiece. I just watch it over and over.
As a Star Wars fan. I loved this video, it was extremely well crafted. When I first watched episode 8. I was some what disappointed, but never targeted the director or actors. I had a friend along with me, she noticed that I was complaining a bit much about things because of my expectations. After several months, when the Last Jedi was available on Netflix. I watched the film again. And well, I like it, I never hated it before either. It’s what a Star Wars film should be. A fun ride, exploring new parts of the galaxy and more. Now one can say, that since I watched it again, and knew everything that happened. I had to obviously like it. But to be fair, it was my second viewing nearly 9 months after it came out. By then, my memory on the film was uncertain. I remembered key plot points, but forget the entire story upon itself. And I enjoyed, and picked out the mistakes of myself and others online about the film. I saw the film as, well a film. But primarily a Star Wars film. It’s fun, and lately I have been trying to understand the division with the fandom. And there’s a lot in general. Several points in Star Wars’ history can be seen as point where the film is divided. It’s both a good thing and bad. Everyone has a part to love, but people debate as you mentioned. As of today, a Vader fan film is coming out, and it’s not monetized and made by a person who has seen the good in the fandom and franchise. I want to create things from Star Wars, and read all of the books and more. Also a if not obvious by more profile picture, I collect a lot of Star Wars LEGO. The fandom needs to find a way to mend its division, it’s also something that I believe Lucasfilm should help in. I want Star Wars to be Star Wars, now I haven’t been able to go to conventions that are primarily Star Wars. But, have seen Star Wars cosplayers, and how amazing it is. Honestly, I could have a long conversation on what Star Wars is, it’s fandom and understanding the current Star Wars and Fandom. I remember when I first saw the force awakens trailer, I was in an apple store alongside my older brother. He hasn’t seen it yet, so I looked it up on the nearest iPad and showed him. It was fulfilling, to live when a new trilogy was to be born. Nowadays, I don’t have that feeling, it’s just whatever. Now, I’m unsure of what exactly why that is, but if talked about, I could very well see why. Either way, Star Wars is fun, so let’s keep it that way.
@@rsbuilds4048 A new hope used Hyperspace as warping, not just "going really fast" like the last jedi implies. (Its stupid to imply its just ships "going very fast" anyways, since they would be clashing with planets, asteroids and other shit in their travels.).
And the Old Republic example was just to show how stupid the last jedi is in comparison.
Thank you. Seriously, thank you.
The Last Jedi is the reason I started a channel. It moved me deeply, and I felt like it tipped me over a line to wanting to be creative... to make stuff as it were. That’s a huge deal for me.
When the initial wave of hate started washing the Internet I felt not just disheartened, but attacked. Detaching myself from that feeling, not take that kinda thing personally, was harder than I thought it could be. I guess there’s that sense of ownership you talk about. There’s me, feeling like someone is inadvertently telling me that my newfound drive, my motivation, my excitement to be a part of this fandom was “objectively” wrong.
The anger that comes with that, for me, is something I’m not happy with. Fighting other fans isn’t what I signed up for.
Hearing you state clearly, plainly, and definitively “what harassment is”, and asking ‘why anyone would want to impose that on someone else’ is important to hear. It never makes sense to me. We’re not in this to fight each other. We’re here to love something collectively. Why the hell would anyone want to take that away from anyone else? It’s not what any of us signed up for.
This is the best "Last Jedi" video i've seen. And i've seen a lot, from the Light and Dark side of the fandom.
You're great. Nuanced, sensible, caring and really funny. Love you, man.
Born in 1977, grew up with the OT. And despite every moment I loved in that trilogy, NOTHING in Star Wars has given me chills and a completely overwhelming rush of joy and awe more than Kylo force-pulling the saber across the throne room floor as Rey's arm reaches up to grab it, the score swells to a climax, and Snoke's lifeless top half falls to floor. My jaw DROPPED and I got chills and tears came to my eyes. Favorite moment in any SW film ever.
I think my favorite Star Wars moments got to be any moment with Yoda and Kenobi
The most awe-inspiring moment for me (having been a Star Wars fan all my life) was the moment that Rey force-pulled that lightsaber to herself. The score, the framing, the buildup, everything about that moment had me in tears and gave me goosebumps.
I cheered in the theatre for that
So I watched this yesterday and have been thinking about it. Even a year after the movie came out I really really hated it. I watched it with my wife just after release and was thinking it was a 5 out of 10. Now I am not blaming Mark Hamill (Who I love) for anything, but his comments leading up to the movie really made me uneasy. How he trashed it and basically told everyone how Luke was not the Luke he knew or wanted to portray. I really wish now that Disney had left the original trilogy characters alone. It would have solved most of the hatred I think. By doing what they have done, it really helped split the fandom. They have every right since they paid a lot of money for it, but I just wish they would have told their story with the new characters and left the old alone. That being said I have been one of those who would tell anyone how much the movie sucked, how I hated and why. For months I watched you tubers who agreed with me and even pointed out more reasons why I should hate it and it fueled how I felt. I was right! The majority agreed with me, rotten tomatoes said so. I really felt such anger and disgust at a movie. Why? To say its just a movie is not fair, since I have seen and felt the same as many when they talk about their childhood. I am 43 now and just love how the original trilogy was so great. Any logic holes in it didn't matter to me. It was a space fantasy and I loved it. Seeing this video and hearing how that guy saw a dad take his son to the movie and how it added a new level of bonding really struck home. I never had any of that myself and really wish I had. To think that some people really love the movie was incomprehensible to me. I would point out all the flaws that I saw and others helped me see, yet when I said things it was always with attitude that I was right and they were wrong. This presenter put together something that reminded me, like he wanted I think, that its for everyone and my entitlement needed to go away. I don't own it. It was definitely not the star wars experience I wanted and that will never change and thats also ok. My wife liked it and then I took my mom to it from out of town and she liked it and my first words to her when the credits started to roll were so negative about the movie, I think I shocked her. I look back now and feel rather stupid and will look to apologize for my comments. I was so angry at Disney and Kathleen Kennedy that I was a full supporter of boycotting Solo. I have never not gone to see a star wars movie until then and I was full of myself. I was making a stand, making a point. I was happy they lost money on it. It continued to fuel my self satisfying need that I was right. I watched it many months later and thought it was ok. I had no intentions of supporting Disney and giving any more of my money because of how I felt. Whenever I saw someone who defended The Last Jedi, I would ignore their videos. Once I tried to watch one and grew more angry as I disagreed with what they said. How was this helping me? It wasn't and I lost all perspective of what I loved about it in the beginning. It was not the star wars experience I was hoping for and wanting. I do plan on seeing episode 9 now. I have finally let go of my real hate of the movie and Disney for the moment. Strangely I feel better physically. Its like a little weight is gone. At the end of the day everyone can find something about star wars they love. They can really love some characters and hate others. But the fans are amazing to watch at conventions and the passion they have. I never want my comments to hurt anyone, let alone a kid who really loved the movie. My vitriol was never about race or gender, but how at the core they treated Luke, everything else came from that. I admit that I am really hoping the new trilogy that the game of throne creators have been given turns out to be the star wars experience that I want.
You're exactly who this video was made for and it means a lot to me that you took the time to both consider its message and leave this comment. I sincerely have so much sympathy for your situation, and here's hoping we both love the hell outta Ep IX 🤜🤛
You know what ? That was a really beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Probably the most honest and mature comment I've seen from someone who doesn't like TLJ.
I feel the same exact way dude! I loved The Last Jedi and all of the other movies, even the prequels aren’t so bad. I became a Star Wars fan at the time Rogue One came out. I binge watched all of the prequels and original movies and I absolutely loved it! Like you said, Star Wars let’s the fans be like kids again, being transported to a fantastical world full of good and evil. I watch a lot of things for the feeling of being a kid again and I enjoy it. I have experienced this negative fandom comments in other places, like TH-cam, Webkinz, or any other place. Your essay is so good; please do more of these videos!
We need more people like you in this world
Thank you so much for this, this is exactly what the fandom needs to hear. My favorite moment of any star wars film is probably either Darth Vader's badass stroll down the hall in Rogue One or Kylo Ren's trick assassination of Snoke in Last Jedi. There's so many different moments and just going down the list to find my favorites made me want to watch every movie again, so thank you. Thank you for making this truly inspiring video. Keep doing what you're doing and don't ever be ashamed for being a big nerd.
Okay, the thumbnail for this video is utterly beautiful.
Not gonna Lie, its one the finest pieces of video essays I've ever seen.... Great work man...As a Last Jedi fan, I really appreciate your work...May the Force be With You.
Not gonna lie, you have no standarts whatsoever.
@@VladDascaliuc "standarts" lmfao
I think EVERY Star Wars fan should watch your video, it brought some much needed clearity to me, before I as I watched this I began to think back and I realized how TOXIC I’d been, and it made me sick about my actions, again, EVERY Star Wars fan should watch this.
No I don’t think I will
I find this video really powerful to me. You're pointing out a lot of things about the fandom I've been thinking about over the months. My first experience with Star Wars (in theaters) was the force awakens. I thought it was a solid Star Wars movie, and having watched the Clone Wars (2003 and 2008) before hand, and watching all the other movies, it has a certain magic to it. I did enjoy the last jedi, but I'm not here to specifically talk about that. I just played Star Wars Battlefront 2 with my dad, Hero vs Villains, and we had such a great time. We laughed so hard that we cried and rolled on the floor (he doesn't have much experience with games). Star Wars is one of the RARE things we bond over, besides that we are almost polar opposites. Star Wars has a lot of magic to it and I owe a lot to it. My childhood watching the originals, sneaking with my brother to take my parents laptop and watch the prequels, and gathering around a TV late at night to watch the Clone Wars on ABC 3. Star Wars is amazing, and I'm sure we ALL agree on that, but I feel that we are becoming more and more divided and we NEED to come back together over the one thing we all know and love, regardless if Rey is a Mary Sue: STAR WARS
There's this deleted scene with Rey and Luke on the island and she's running across the beach and the reflection of her lightsaber is red and it's like my favorite moment in the franchise aside from Luke facing the last order alone with a Lazer sword
You're kind, empathetic, optimistic: and the exact thing we need now.
Subtle reference
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE Luke restoring hope to the whole galaxy in one triumphant victory which gave him peace and purpose
Rose's line about saving what we love is basically what it's all about, but oh it's too cringy.
The like/dislike ratio on this video makes me sad
How fitting that you have SpongeBob for an icon.
@@kylemorello4787 i try :)
Favorite Star Wars moment: Luke's iconic "NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo" about who his father was. Little me felt it echo in my soul. (Yes, that's a dramatic sentence, but it was a dramatic moment!)
What I've always loved about star wars were the concepts and cool imagery. The original series gave us space magic and laser swords and massive space warships, which then became popularized as staples of media. The new series are giving us astral projection fights, the sheer destruction of a relativistic impact, and force powered spacewalking. Here's me hoping more films make good on the use of an FTL drive strapped onto a missile, because that scene was AWESOME.
Favorite Moment, possible in any Star Wars, but certainly in my head right now, is just a few brief shots from Episode 2. When the Jedi are surrounded on Geonosis and the Republic Gunships drop in, lasers blasting everywhere, the scenes with them strafing around the arena, holy moly I love that. Pretty much all the Clone stuff in Ep2. Also the entire space battle opening of Ep3. The introduction of one of the coolest ships, ARC-170s, super fun and the drum beat gets me every time.
I don't agree with your opinions on the movie, but I definitely appreciate what you had to say about how we should interact about it. Being decent human beings is something that the internet is definitely taking away from us, and it's really sad to see. This is the kind of thing that the internet could definitely use more of.
That last quote from that Empire book blew my mind. I'm actually in tears.
Thank you so much for this video. Seriously.

Star Wars has been a growing community. Not just the fandom. And with growth comes responsibility. People lack responsibility. A force of will, is not reasoning. Constructing criticism is much harder than most people think. It‘s the lack of responsibility that makes the fandom fall apart. Just saying that something or somebody is stupid / wrong is not criticism. It is a force of will. It‘s the responsibility we all have towards others that is directly tied to the praise or in many cases nowadays criticism. So how do we change? It‘s a process everybody has to go through, whether they liked a certain thing or not. Learning how to construct praise or criticism in a way it shows a said opinion, without harming anyone, because that‘s what criticism is. It‘s not just an opinion. It‘s an opinion, an explanation and an example. In other words.
I enjoyed The Last Jedi, because it gave us something new, like the battle between Luke ans Kylo, while implementing some old known atmospheres in a new way, like the casino scene.
What is responsibility? Where is the thin line between a force of will and criticism as well as praise?
Everybody has to decide for themselves whether they want to change with the times, or stay where they are, enjoy what has passed. Every fan has to decide for themselves, they can share they‘re opinion, because that‘s what gives a conversation it‘s flesh, but they can‘t force their will on others.
It‘s more that we should together enjoy what everybody likes, rathe than hate what everybody hates.
Im crying. This was beautiful. How the heck did you make this and not cry all the time. My fav Moment in any star wars movie is Luke and yoda in TLJ
Not gonna lie, listening to the piano cover of Across the Stars choked me up every. Dang. Time.
This video needs to go viral.
Hey, this was a fantastic video and will be sharing with anyone who loves Star Wars.
Interesting though, your question of was The Last Jedi the Star Wars experience you wanted, I’d have to say no. TLJ was nothing I wanted, and I LOVED it for that. As you said, it challenged me. It took everything I knew about Star Wars and burned it down. Creating vast new paths SW can go, and I absolutely love the movie for doing that.
Keep up the amazing work.
"Hey, this was a fantastic video and will be sharing with anyone who loves Star Wars."
Of course, because only spineless morons that nod to everything people throw at them would like and agree with this disgusting video.
Great to see it.
Absolutely wonderful. Man, I love it when people get passionate about things and places and stuff.
i came here to make my case for disliking for this movie (not hate, dislike!) but damn... this got heartbreaking really fast. holy crap. People have gone kind of insane about this.
This is a very good video.
(Nice use of music, too)
The end gave me chills.
My favorite Star Wars moment is when Rey takes Finn's hand finally in TFA and you know that these two are gonna be a great team.
Dude, this is a brilliant dive into the fandom. Thank you.
What’s this, a crossover episode?
This is easily one of my favorite videos on the internet, Thank you.
My favorite part of my second favorite SW movie, The Last Jedi, was when Luke explained The Force to Rey... Oh, oh - I also loved Yoda's lesson on failure! Luke's astral projection reveal! Rey's & Kylo's battle with the Pretorian Gaurd! I guess it's hard to choose a favorite.
Great essay! You just earned a subscriber.
I applaud you, sir. The moment I was completely hooked was the first time the Falcon jumps to hyperspace.
Not through the whole video yet, but I love the way you use this wonderful piano music
Getting to listen to those covers legit made editing this a thousand times more fun.
Thank you, for encouraging kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, and love. I find myself in a very similar situation to the one you describe about yourself, and I agree. I don't want to hate people who disagree with me, I want to acknowledge that they are different, and move on to the next beautiful thing this franchise has to offer.
Thank you, for this video. You are putting a little bit of good, into a fandom that desperately needs as much as it can get.
"Not loving a star wars film is one of the absolute worst feelings in the universe for a Star Wars fan." - gutted... absolutely gutted.
I dunno, getting stabbed in the chest probably feels worse than disliking a film.
There are infinitely worse feelings than not loving a movie. This guy is incredibly pathetic.
@@justincider8892 Do you understand what a…hyperbole is?
I love the question you asked us at the end just to keep the positivity going.
After a lot of thought, I gotta go with this moment:
Cassian Andor: "I've been in this fight since I was SIX YEARS OLD!"
That line. Makes me tear up. Every time. Even typing this. And that line has a LOT of personal meaning to me. Cassian is played by a Mexican actor. I'm Mexican-American. It is INDESCRIBABLY important to me to see fair and equal representation in movies like Star Wars and to have Diego Luna deliver that line, which had a LOT of real world context, meant everything to me.
Fantastic video.
Thank you.
YES! I was on the fence a bit with his character after his opening scene ("That good guy just killed another guy in a not-very-good-guy way, whaaaa???"), but when he said that line, it immediately made him the most empathetic and fascinating character in the film for me. Really, really, really looking forward to his series 🙌🙌🙌
Make Stuff SAME. (I loved when he killed the guy, because it felt like something “the idea of Han” would do, but something Han would never actually do, because he’s not a complex “realistic” character to me, Han is a very good guy and always has been.)
But Cassian delivered on that promise of a complex real-world character in the fantasy of Star Wars. I loved that. I was intrigued.
I fell in love with Cassian after that line, and he’s my favorite Star Wars character to this day.
I guess I’m three years too late so I guess I’ll ask, what were your thoughts on Andor?
@@jakobhellyer2792 It was brilliant! Can't wait to see where they go in season two. Really blew me away.
Can I love a video instead of just liking it? Excellent essay. Beautiful.
My favourite moment of Last Jedi was when Like tossed away the Lightsaber. There was so much tension going into the film, waiting to see what theory would be confirmed. In my mind I had considered all the responses from Luke and what the implications would be i hadn't considered this one. The tension was released and I was free to sit back and enjoy the film.
Thank you so much for making this video, Johnathon, I loved it! I'm so thankful for people like you in the Star Wars community/film community.
And thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!
Thanks so much for contributing, dude!! Feels good to know I'm not alone in celebrating this thing that made me who I am
I'm from Argentina. My sister and I have a tradition, everytime a new Star Wars film premieres we go together to the movie theater to watch it no matter what. We've never been huge Star Wars fans, we are reIatively new to the fandom. I saw the original trilogy in 2015, because i heard that episode 7 was coming, and in that time it was the most popular and awaited movie of the year. Fans literally were treating it like it was the second coming of Christ or something like that. So... it got me curious, and i saw the previous ones in order, starting from Episode 4 to Episode 6, and i loved them all. Even if the special effects were, in my personal view, kind of outdated... the story, the universe, the themes and the characters were so atractive and amazing, that it wrapped me up since the very beggining. So then, i decided to show them to my sister, and she also loved every single one of them. I remember the first time we saw the trailer for The Force Awakens for the first time, and we both cried by just hearing the music. It was just so god damn emotional, seeing Han Solo, Leia, and the Millenium Falcon again... it brough tears to my eyes just remembering it. That's how we loved the saga. The Star Wars movies are an important part of our lives, because they brought us closer as brother and sister. All the best memories i have with these movies, i have them with her.
We went to see The Force Awakens that year, and she cried the hell out of it, from the opening crawl, to the end credits. We both cheered and clapped out loud when the movie ended, and we were already excited for Episode 8.
Having watched The Last Jedi now, i can surely say that i loved it at first view. I came out of the theather thinking it was the best Star Wars movie i've ever saw. I've legitimately cried during the whole third act of the film just because of how breathtakingly beautiful and emotional some scenes were. I was on the edge of my seat during the encounter between Luke and Kylo, it gave me goosebumps, my jaw dropped many times, it was just EPIC. And then Luke started his speech about how he would not be the last jedi, and then we saw Rey lifting those rocks with the force... we started crying. When Luke died, seeing the binary sunset for the last time, it was just the perfect send off for the character, like a full circle coming to a close. Obviously i had problems with the movie, like the excessive use of comedy, and the contradictory behavior of Luke sometimes with the rest of the saga (trying to kill his own nephew...), but overall i LOVED the movie. I had no problem whatsoever with Rose or Finn characters, just that i thought their scenes in Canto Bight stretched out too long. I have the same opinion of everyone when it comes to the subplot of the rebels, like i didn't care too much about them like i cared with Luke, Rey and Kylo storyline. I didn't like Admiral Holdo's character, at all... but her sacrifice was AMAZING. And that scene with Leia using the force, i have to admit it was kind of ridiculous. It was a good idea, but a really awful execution. For me, the storyline with Luke, Rey and Kylo, and the entire third act of the movie, made it worth everything. Now, with a more clear mind, i can say that maybe wasn't the best Star Wars movie, my favourite is still The Return of the Jedi, but i put The Last Jedi as the third best, behind Empire Strikes Back.
For the precuels, i really didn't care about them very much... i kind of liked The Phantom Menace, hated Attack of the Clones, and really loved Revenge of the Sith. But sometimes the plot with these movies felt really convulted and confusing, even for me that i'm one of those people that loved the second and third one of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, despite of how complicated they were, because i really like complex stories. My problems with the precuels were maybe because, in the precuels, i wasn't invested that much in the characters and their motivations as i was in the original trilogy, were everything was more simple but you could feel attached and identified with the three main protagonists. I felt some lines of dialogue were kind of stupid and the acting was kind of dull, specially in Attack of the Clones, were not only those were the only problems, but the plot was so unfocused and convulted i could hardly tell what was it about, even if i remembered it. The only thing i remember about that movie was Yoda fighting with lightsaber, and Anakin and Padme romance, and that wasn't very well executed, at least for me... Oh, and Shmi's death. Overall, i could not find anything memorable about that movie, it just felt like an empty transition movie to me.
Dude. Thank you. Please keep up the great videos. We truly need hope and your a fan that's helping not hurting. Bravo brother! Let's stop the hatred and bring back the fandom!
Excellent video, nice to see this time of year! May the force be with you!
New Years Resolution for Star Wars Lovers: Don't be a dick online to other fans; regardless of their opinions on any of the films, tv shows, games books or comics.
Yoda teaching a lesson about failure to Luke is by far my favorite Star Wars scene ever. Thank you Rian Johnson
Also yoda: destroying shit so His dumb student have get some balls 30 years later insted of telling him in the first place. Nice play dude, your favorite scene Is a lazy terrorist propaganda.
motor4X4kombat I literally have no idea how to respond to this and I’m sorry you feel this way
Ok, here´s something I´m going to do tomorrow: I´m going to apologize to every person I have ever been rude to about their taste in art and in Star Wars especially. Obviously, it´s going to be a little awkward and it´s probably going to come across as a bit pretentious but that doesn´t matter.
After watching this video I really feel like I owe an apology to some friends and I also feel like I owe it to myself to own up to the fact that I´ve been a huge ass to people about the kind of stuff they enjoy and admitting that is, I hope, going to be a good step towards not doing that again.
It´s just an idea, but maybe we can get #ImGladULikeIt or sth along those lines trending amongst some Star Wars fans, that´d be nice, I think.
Thanks man. I'm one of those people who liked TLJ, don't think it's perfect but still enjoyed it (Reylo trash and proud). It seems like the hate is on both sides of the fandom, and that's the tragedy. I've seen people who love TLJ and will just shit on anyone who expresses any criticism of the movie, even when that criticism is legitimate.
Just like the Jedi and Sith, both extremes are wrong, there needs to be more tolerance and a willingness to hear the other side. Anyway, back to what I was saying earlier. Thank you for taking this all important step. The extremists on both sides of the fence need to remember what Star Wars is about.
I started out in a similar vein. Not understanding why a lot of people hated it. I unfortunately, slightly slipped into how he put it, “Pushing people to love the film.” But then, slowly it occurred to me what I was doing, and now, I’ve been trying for several months, essentially to try and be a peacemaker and help in perhaps slowly fixing the gap as he put it. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s something we can do overnight, but we might as well start now.
You just inspired me
Big respect to you!
Big respect to you!
I've watched this about 15 times now. I love this video and Star Wars so much.
Favourite Star Wars moments: I can’t choose, there are too many! I’m just gonna have to say...ALL OF THEM!
Why are there almost 1.000 people disliking THAT video.I think it's almost impossible to contact with some toxic SW "fans"
That was amazing, thank you for another well thought video!
This video is powerful, and is one of the most important videos I've watched this year.
All of this applies to so much more than just Star Wars in our modern day and age.
Bro....this video hit he. I loved it. Also! If that Rose line was a direct reference to the director of empire strikes back I’ll be forever impressed with Rian Johnson
This made me cry, holy shit this is amazing.
Still relevant 4 years later.
The quality of this is just magnificent. I am with you 100%.
