Oh my gosh stop taking this out of context. He said that when he first red the script he disagreed with his character's direction but eventually came around to it.
FeebleBird903 That doesnt change the fact that he *originally* disagreed with it. He omly ever eventually accept it *months* after saying it *And* the fact that it apparently shocks and worries everyone from fans to even the director,Rian Johnson *Himself* . So no. It's still actually quotable
This is what should've been done: instead of admiral purple hair, it should've been Ackbar who stayed behind on the Rebel Cruiser. He should've turned it towards the First Order fleet... they hail him... First Order: ''Is this some sort of diversion?'' Ackbar: ''No. It's a trap'' * Boom *
Mark Hamill said it best, "They had time for me to milk an alien but not enough time for Luke to show any emotion." Another big issue, suddenly all that's needed to wipe out a fleet is one ship jumping to light speed? All this time, why has anyone wasted their time fighting with laser blasters or turbo lasers? Another problem, the Empire, First Order, has seemingly unlimited resources. Two Death Stars, Star Killer base, 4 full fleets, and yet they only seem to grow in size? Where does this all come from if Star Killer Base was wiped out? The last fleet that was wiped out had no effect because the next scene they were all down on the planet with no issue. I'll stop there but I could keep going.
The First Order is inconsistent. It's supposed to be a small remnant of the Empire's military yet with the destruction of Starkiller Base you think they should be broken as a fighting force beyond repair, with barely any ships left, since it seemd Starkiller Base was their main base of operations, yet somehow they still have a big enough fleet led by a massive flagship and thousands of stormtroopers to chase and destroy the remainder of the Resistance fleet which is even smaller and weaker than the remnant of the once mighty Imperial fleet?
the first deathstar at least made some sense.... the empire was in (full) control of an entire galaxy and they had at least two decades to build one deathstar, and that one just recently got finished when a new hope begins. so that made at least some sense. the second deathstar only makes sense if it was already in construction way before a new hope
issac garcia he really was that bad. His editors and his ex-wife rescued the first star wars film. It was a bloated mess. Lucas is a decent idea guy but should not direct or edit his own works. There is a great video of the edit here on youtube.
It's astounding to me how Rian Johnson is such a bad writer. Half of the shit that was said in TLJ makes zero sense. I really think there must be something wrong with people that defend this movie. I've never seen a movie that has more plot-holes and inconsistencies. It's embarrassing
Nem Denemam Snoke and Kylo are lucky the rebels don't have an army of BB-8s. You what F@$! the Jedi, every rebel should be trained to fight like a BB-8 and wear cardboard boxes to look like one.
I don't like his character. He is a better pilot than Annakin on steroids. Maybe he's force sensitive but c'mon. Plus the sarcastic, irreverant humor doesn't work for me. Star Wars for a new generation I guess. Not sure why they feel the need to abandon a winning formula though.
The ridiculousness of the situation isnt Poe trying to piss off the enemy Admiral its that the fucking Admiral is make to look like a fucking joke who falls into a petty prank call. Absolute udder ridiculous bullshit. Makes the First Order look like a joke rather than a real threat. If anyone thinks the Nazis in WW2 were incompetent retards like this Admiral is portrayed to be then we would of lost the war because the real deal was fucking intelligent, organized, mature, and prepared which is why they were a real fucking threat to taking over the world. It is just absurd they though this would be funny. Again you miss the point completely it isnt Poe that is the problem but the incompetency of the First Order leaders to fall for that shit. Even the Empire leaders and Admirals would shrug off Poe's foolish attempt to antagonize them.
that's exactly what I've been saying.... It's basically like if game of thrones would have been like "well everyone already figured out R+L=J, so lets not do that to surprise everyone at the expense of being a cohesive story"
Viral Killer they completely did the opposite. They didn’t reveal snoke’s in the movie, they killed Luke to remove him from the franchise for no reason because Fisher died during the movie time(but hey lets see CGI Leia in episode 9...what a waste of money for episode 9)
he was desperately trying to make it his film so he could do the last one that's what it seems to me like I watch the actor interviews and reading before the lines it seems they much prefer JJ not saying he was perfect but way better than this director!
They turned a character that still believed his father could be saved, even after he wiped out almost the entire Jedi order, brought back the Sith and spent years at Palpatine's side to someone who tried to kill his own grandson just because he felt some evil inside Ben. TLJ was an absolute joke, ruined every character and ruined everything interesting about TFA.
TFA: Luke leaves a map behind with R2 and his friend (Max Von Sydow) in case he's needed while he searches for Jedi lore. TLJ: Luke's on some backwater planet trying to kill himself and has no idea how he was found BRAVO RIAN
I had tears come to my eye when leia seemingly died. It would have been a very good scene, probably my favorite scene, and the only one done right, but instead she turns into Mary Poppins, and ruins the feel of the scene
The plot holes are obvious, it was all constructed to give more protagonism to females,in detriment of the story itself, just like Holdo no talling her plan just to make Poe (a man) look like a complete idiot and have a woman be in the right and be the one to save everyone just for the sake of it and because SJW pandering
Notice she went into a coma immediately afterwards? Rey had some training. This was the first time Leia ever used the force in her entire life, cut her some slack. She was practically half out of it when she carried herself back to the ship.
I felt like I watched 4 boring movies in a row instead of one good movie. They cut back to that exterior shot of the chase scene about a dozen times, where the laser bolts from the Supremacy hit the Raddus' shields. And I thought, "oh yeah. THAT'S still going on, huh? Maybe Po will finally get a chance to- no he gets shat on again, despite being the only guy on board who actually has plans that work. Maybe if they come back to this scene later- nope they did it again. And again. And again. Is Holdo the villain here?"
I agree with you. Previous Star Wars films felt 'epic', as if each one was telling a different chapter in a grand story. Each movie was set a number of years after the previous one and covered pivotal events occurring over a week or so. Setting TLJ immediately after the previous film, and describing a period of only 14 hours, seems rather anticlimactic in comparison.
Luke standing in front of the ATs got me even pumped a bit. I thought he had deflected all Blasts with the force and would pop the ATs into each other right after. Making them fall like dominos, so Kylo had to crawl out of the debris. Imagined that they would fight one on one in an epic lightsaber battle and Luke would die epic (maybe by saving Rey). But instead.. we got that lame projection shit.
Rian Jonson gets a hard-on from subverting expectations. It makes him feel like he's smarter than the entire world. But it's about as clever as a nine-year-old jumping out and going "Boo! Ha ha! Surprised you!" Just because something is random doesn't mean it's clever.
Except he does have good ideas, Rey's twist is a twist pn the already common: I Am Your Father reveal, it's what we expect, so he once again challenges that expectation in an interesting way, because I don'g know about you, but having a hero who literally comes from nothing against this guy who came from heroes and became a hige villain is pretty cool, also he gave Luke a character arc instead of just amking him Yoda 2.0
I think Rian is just a nihilist, who wants to destroy what other people have made. I think the end of "The Last Jedi" proves this. At the end of the movie, the rebellion has been reduced to about 20 guys and the Millennium Falcon. Rian even makes the point of saying that the Rebels contacted the Republic for help and NO ONE was responding. Where can another writer possibly take things from there? If I were deliberately TRYING to f*ck up the franchise, "The Last Jedi" is exactly the kind of movie I would make.
Diego De la Fuente lol gave Luke a character arc? His Luke is a completely different person and ignores his past character development. That’s not clever writing, it’s stupid.
@Shonksu Anakin had 10-13 years of training. Luke had 4 years. Got his ass kicked by Vader. Then in ROTJ he made Vader realize the conflict in him he didn't outright overpower Vader. Rey on the other hand was handed everything to her. Force abilities with no training. A year of training at most after TLJ. They had to cover their tracks and explain the force dyad, Ren transferring some of his powers to her, and her being a Palpatine
@@MrHarshverdhan that pissed me off they killed huim off screen they shouldve had him be the one to sucide bomb the star destroyer not some purple hair bitch nobody cares about
@@adad87821 Right!! He's been there since the Old Republic, but apparently he's not important enough. He commanded during the original resistance, but nah purple hair willy wonka over here can govern, because wahmen.
The Last Jedi Was Almost A Star Wars Movie - We Almost got to see a Lightsaber Duel - Those jokes were Almost funny - There was Almost an exciting chase through space - Somebody Almost sensed a disturbance in the Force - We Almost got dialog that fit the Star Wars universe - That Almost looked and moved like Yoda - Rey Almost got Jedi training - Supreme Leader Snoke Almost foresaw that coming - Finn and Rose Almost found a guy to help them - Two people Almost said "May the Force be with you" to each other - Chewbacca Almost ate a porg - We Almost heard someone say "I have a bad feeling about this" - Poe Almost committed mutiny - We Almost found out that Rey's parents were important - Finn Almost made it to the battering ram laser - Those Almost weren't the Droids we were looking for - It was Almost the Star Wars Holiday Special - It was Almost a script Mark Hamill agreed with - Rian Johnson Almost deserves an Academy award - Let's hope JJ Abrams doesn't Almost make a Star Wars movie with the next one The 'Almost' Was Strong With This One. It was Almost a Star Wars movie, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Amen to this! It truly was an Almost film. And they seemed shocked fans were mad. Like “wha did u expect destroying and entire canon a film franchise and fantasy world is built around?!” It would be like filming a HP movie that had no wizards or muggles and calling it canon. That never works when used cheaply for shock value. What will they do now with fisher?! They had a chance to kill her character off and let it be an honorable thang... and missed it. They had a chance to make luke’s legacy count and not completely disrespect his entire contribution to the right side of the Force and good, and missed it. They coulda started some new love interests and missed it. They coulda given Snoke an actual storyline after building it up, but missed it. It all felt so cheesy and cheaply made. HP worked for Disney cuz they used JK as consultant and she approved of everything. But they basically raped GL for his franchise then didn’t allow him any consultant role to ensure the canon...
+Princess Lissy Was upheld... but they missed that too. Spent decades trying to acquire Lucasfilm for what?... they wanted that storyline and canon so badly for ages, once they got it, they decided not use any of it and make their own thang, so why did they bother buying the franchise just to destroy it? Makes no sense unless they were sure they could do it justice. The money is pointless if fans won’t see future films cuz of what they destroyed. They admitted the canon is GONE! We should take that to heart and say “ok, then we’ll wait till GL writes a new version of his SW and does it right.” He seemed sooooo sad about selling. He looked like he’d been bullied into it for so light he lost his fight. I had so loved Disney and hoped they would handle this right. They didn’t handle the deal right or the script and canon. No wonder fans are mad. They knew fans would be upset that Disney even acquired the franchise... so they knew they needed to bring it. They did with the first 2..
+Princess Lissy did they think a bait & switch wouldn’t be noticed by fans? I don’t get that. Film lovers aren’t dumb Consumers. They analyze and catch things others don’t. Sigh. 😔 I love Disney when they do what they do best: animated and princess movies and some family friendly series. But this mix everyone knew would be a bad idea. I had hoped they’d prove that notion wrong. They know how loyal SW fans are to Lucasfilm. They knew it was a delicate thing and that fans were praying they could make it work. All we wanted was a good movie and trilogy and to prove the Lucas deal wasn’t disrespectful to Lucasfilm. How could they mess all that up in ONE film. Lol. Yikes.
Tf. Did Obi Wan die because death Vader bested him? Or because he knew he could help Luke more by becoming one with the force? Did yoga really age like a couple hundred years and die from old age from ROTS and ANH? Doubt it. Just like them Luke died because it was no longer his role to physically be there to stop the dark. Besides. You ever seen anyone create and control a hologram with voice and perfect likeness from light years away? Sounds pretty next level to me.
Joe Brooks the projection you're referring to with Snoke is simply a video phone call, generals on star destroyers in Empire talked to Vader via videolink
Darth Vader murders the Jedi order, obiwan, innumerable beings across the galaxy for twenty odd years and younglings. Luke: There's still good in him. Kylo Ren has some evil dreams. Luke: Well he's evil now, better kill him in his sleep.
Rudy Solomon III Luke didn’t know about what else his Father did, but he saw the potential for another Darth Vader. It’s not like he attempted to kill him, he did hesitate when he realized he was about to kill Kylo Ren.
Obiwan told Luke a good amount about the atrocities of Vader, perhaps not the younglings, but the Jedi and the various systems and he saw Obiwan die first hand. Even though Luke had misgivings at the temple, he literally told Leia to her face Ben is beyond redemption and I'm going to end him. Luke Skywalker was a hero because he did what his father could not and now he's just as corrupt, arrogant, hypocritical and misanthropic as the Republic Jedi. Was he really that afraid of another Vader or was it Snoke that ignited that fear? He beat Vader through pacifism and appealing to his Light side. This is yet another legacy character who was ruined to make way for new characters that are not nearly as memorable.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Supreme Leader Snoke the Powerful? I thought not. It's not a story Disney would tell you. It's a fan legend. Snoke was the Supreme Leader of the First Order, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence and connect the minds of people across galaxies... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even force pull people through holograms. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his apprentice, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him while he was distracted while interrogating a Jedi. It's ironic... he could use the force to influence others from other galaxies, but not sense a lightsaber being manipulated right next to him. Is it possible to learn this origin story? Not from the Movies.
As The Act Man once said, the second part in a trilogy is the most important because it follows up the previous part and sets up the final part. Say what you want about the prequals but from a fundamental stand point, AOTC is a better middle movie than TLJ. TLJ threw away nearly every plot point from TFA and gave no direction for episode 9 to go.
I hated the ship plot. Felt like a Clone Wars episode Edit: I didn’t mean to insult Clone Wars, it’s a very good show. I felt like the movie could’ve done better than do a stuck on a ship plot, which should only be for shows
Dave Filoni had to come up with shit like this because he was making countless episodes of a kids show. If he had written this movie, it would have been a freaking masterpiece compared to what Rian Johnson did. That guy has 1% of the understanding and lore knowledge Filoni has.
Admiral Ackbar should have been the one to sacrifice himself and go into hyperspace through the First Order ships and either you let Laura Dern character live for episode IX or you erase her from the movie entirely.
I agree, Ackbar deserved so much better than this, and it should have been either him or Leia to make the sacrifice at the end. What we got instead was a missed opportunity to do something interesting with Holdo and make her a First Order sympathizer but it turns out she was just in cahoots with Leia and they neglected to tell Poe for some reason.
When all of the ATATs fired at Luke, I first thought that when the dust cleared it would have been revealed that Luke had suspended all of the thousands of blaster rounds from the ATATs in midair just like Kylo did that one blaster round at the start of The Force Awakens. Then he could have force-pushed all of the rounds back at the ATATs, destroying them all and leaving the battlefield completely barren aside from him and Kylo.
@@raymondvalasquez3992 not to me, hologram luke fits WAYYY better with the theme of Man and Myth, because no matter how much he trained or got powers, Luke as a man would never live up to the status of Luke The Legend, the warrior who defeated Darth Vader and Darth Sidious and destroyed the Empire, and thsi fits well, also when he fades away it's a nice callback to both Obi Wan and Han, with the "I will Always be with you" aswell as the "See You Around kid"
Watch Mark Hamill before the World Premiere and how excited he was then watch how he looked after he watched the movie and was next to Rian Johnson. He looked shocked, mad, and in disbelief. Rian Johnson looked happy and Mark Hamill looked upset. I feel bad for Hamill. I don't think this film should be counted as canon just for the actors sakes and the fans sakes.
girl4mac4 Look up "sad Mark Hamill", or "Mark Hamill at premiere", there are a bunch of videos. Rian looks like a smug little troll, and Mark looks shocked. Then Mark turns and looks at Rian as if to say, "How could you do that?!"
FuzzzWuzzz He actually WAS surprised because Rian tweaked the film to have Luke Skywalker die the way he did. Which in turn shocked Mark because he saw how horrible his character was handled. Yeah he did film the scenes but i'm pretty sure Rian lied to Mark and told him that Luke would die heroicly.
So funny that the whole secret Finn Codebreaker subplot my Bro fell asleep watching. He woke up when Leia shot Po. He asked me what he had missed and I said "nothing you literally missed NOTHING!"
That moment when you willingly watch an hour long youtube video over bashing the new Star Wars movie and you don't consider it a waste of time because the new Star Wars movie legitimately upset you that much. Me.
A couple scene like that were great.. but on the other hand how couldn't those scenes be great. Only thing new in this movie that was cool was the force skype calling, and the romantic tension between Rey and Kylo. Overall though so disappointing.
Pro Gamer what you just said, is the prime reason smoke died so fast. He was never supposed to be the main villain at all. Him dying is a symbol of the with dying, and Kylo shaping his own destiny and identity outside of smoke and the with. not sure what movie you were watching if that wasn't obvious dude lol
The problem is not him dying, the problem is the WAY in which he died and without any explanation as to who the character was. We just get a mangled, incredibly powerful dark Force user pop up out of nowhere and then die in the second film.... Why did this character even need to exist then?
1. Luke is reduced to a hesitant jerk. 2. Too many twists and turns to count. 3. Disrespects the original films in terms of lore and history. 4. Mixing comedy into the serious moments. 5. (My personal issue), Finn is put into a very pointless side story with one character who is just there. 6. Wasting both actor Andy Serkis, and his character.
No 2. Was the biggest nail in the coffin, you have to balance surprises. You can't have a predictable movie but at the same time don't toss away all of the buildup. Guess which extreme Disney boy landed on? What a complete idiot.
Fuel _could_ be an issue, but it shouldn't be. A real-life nuclear-powered battleship can operate up to 20 years before needing to be refueled; in-universe, a capital ship can have up to 5 years worth of consumables. Are we _really_ supposed to believe that a single jump through lightspeed would deplete a warship's fuel reserves? Because the alternative would be the Resistance saying "oops, looks like we forgot to gas up before we left!" Which is equally moronic.
Fuel has been mentioned in Star Wars before TLJ. The one that immediately comes to mind is Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine in Episode I when he says "We'll need to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship." Han also mentions fuel in one of the movies but I don't remember which one. They're just throwaway lines, though, and don't factor into the plot much at all.
And then in "Rise of Skywalker" we get "light-speed skipping" so I guess "fuel" is no longer a problem. (The real reason why this is happening is because JJ stole it from "Guardians of the Galaxy" because he thought it looked cool. It is literally as simple as that.)
You guys are all wrong. It's the introduction of hyperfuel for the hyperdrive. Fuel for the thrusters, like in the ot and pt are a separate system entirely.
I believe they (Disney) will make another trilogy where they will try to explaining what Snoke is. After all Star Wars is their cash cow and they will milk it dry. Therefore they will not give any explanations in this trilogy.
The movie didn't reveal Snoke's backstory because it perfectly aligned with the theme. This movie is about the inevitability of failure. The absence of Snoke's backstory is basically saying no matter how powerful you are, you're still a nobody in the end. If you overestimated yourself, you're going to fall just like everyone else. TLJ has many flaws but Snoke isn't one of them.
@RookieN08 But that's silly. Snoke is an insanely important character with gaping questions around him. Where did he come from? He is a Sith Lord, obviously, and he is adhering to the Rule of Two, but then who was his master. The last two Sith Lords were Palpatine and Vader, and neither of them had any canonical apprentices. So again, where did this man, who single-handedly destroyed the Republic and created an Empire with huge fleets and superweapons, something that took freakin Palpatine decades of careful masterminding, in just a few short years, come from? What is he about? These are not trivial questions, these are the crucially important building blocks in this kind of story that get you an "F" in writing class if you miss them. So no, Snoke is not a "nobody". If he is, then the Emperor was a nobody as well, and while it's true he was in the same situation in the original trilogy, Palpatine didn't have to fit into a giant, mapped out canon. The least we can ask for is at least *some* info on the alleged big bad.
Rian Johnson, I have never seen someone given such a concept/story rich set up, with most of difficult work in establishing characters and setting up interesting plot points and environments completed ( to a point that a blind man could see them) and manage to not only miss them completely, but to actively subvert them at the expense of the movie, while showing a complete disregard and for the subject matter of the film and total contempt of the expected audience. I hope one day someone comes and does the same thing to something you love like, WWII, or sucking up to critics who have already been paid by Disney.
MetaJoy it wasn’t Rian Johnson it was Colin Trevorrow and Disney. Disney hired Colin Trevorrow to write and direct the last Jedi who’s only credit was Jurassic World... Yeah... Rian Johnson actually wrote and directed Rouge One. Half way through last Jedi they brought Rian in because Colin fucked it up so bad but they didn’t want to give him credit for both because they would have had to pay him twice. That’s why Rian got his own trilogy. Because he took ownership of this piece of shit film he had really no part of.
I think Rian is just a nihilist, who likes to destroy things that other people have made. Think about the way he ended "The Last Jedi." At the end of the movie, the Rebellion has been reduced to about 20 guys and the Millennium Falcon. He even goes out of his way to point out that the Rebels contacted the Republic for help and NO ONE was responding. Where can another writer possibly take things from there? If I was deliberately TRYING to f*ck up the franchise, "The Last Jedi" is exactly the kind of movie I'd make. Rian would rather be remembered as "that guy who f*cked up the Star Wars franchise" than to be forgotten.
I didn’t jump on the whole ‘Disney is the death of Starwars’ bandwagon but holy shit! The film is a train wreck. I’m pretending this hasn’t happened... oh god!!!
And why the hell was the Falcon now not CHEWYS SHIP?!?!? I don’t see how he has white privilege....lol. I walked out of that movie AMAZED at just how poorly written and thought out and overall BAD it was! Geez Ruin/KK just own it, you put out a BAD PRODUCT! So laughably dumb! But a few people liked it, cool great.....but Star Wars was always unifying..... Star Wars ended as was intended in... 1983!!
u guys are just talking smack, the movie was amazing i mean did you see the scene where leiya flew through space like superman? i mean wow and did you see the lightsaber battle between luke and kylo? best two and a half seconds of all the star wars movies, ryan johnson did an amazing job he knew that no one wanted to see a proper light saber battle and also listened to all the fans when they cried out please kill off luke skywalker, the only thing the movie was missing was the dance scene from spiderman 3
conan barrett you can lift an X-wing with the force so pulling yourself in zero gravity shouldn't be hard at all. As far as her not freezing though....
@@NASkeywest How was her body not just immediately torn three ways to Sunday from the rather immediate and disastrous effects that the vacuum of space has on human physiology? How did she open the door from outside? Why, when the door opened, did she just pop in instead of being blown right the fuck back out along with everyone standing nearby?
Oh,, Snoke telling Kylo that his helmet looked stupid.. So that he could se the "conflict" in Kylos face.. That was straight out of Spaceballs the movie.. Where the president tells dark helmet that he wants to see his face, because how will he know that Dark helmet isn't making faces at him under that thing.... Geez
Dude. That was the first thought I had when she jumped in there and later had to go all the way back to the top of the island. I thought I was too critical and no one will see it the same. You are the first comment on the internet that shares the same thought. Nice, bro! :')
You are totally right with that. The thing is: The more I read about screenwriting and techiques to write a story, the more critical I am and the more I hate myself for being it. Because it disturbs the joy while watching something. -.-
Disney didn't make these. It would be like blaming 20th Century Fox for Jar Jar. Disney doesnt write, direct, produce, cast...they play little to no role in making these movies. Rian Johnson is not Disney.
+Jason Harshman but the writers and director are all Disney’s choices. I’ve said from the beginning that rian Johnson was a shit choice for a director for a numbered Star Wars movie.
Still, don't you think its a bit unfair to pin EVERYTHING on Disney? Kathleen Kennedy IS the one responsible for all things Star Wars now, so if anything, shouldn't you pin things on her?
While I do see where you are coming from, do remember is an Lucasfilm production, which Kathleen Kennedy is in charge of. So, if you wanna blame anyone for what Rian did, blame her.
don't be so naive, they do take part in it, by making sure, the movie is more profitable, they do this with videogames, they do this with movies. Those tons of fucking animals for example is totally their doing!
JJ isn't talented enough to create a new threat. His idea of "raising the stakes" is ALWAYS to take something from an earlier movie and x1000 it. Imagine him talking to the special effects guys: JJ: "And each of these Star Destroyers will have Death Star Tech, so it will have a cannon capable of destroying an entire planet!" SFX Guys: "JJ. did you even SEE 'Return of the Jedi?' The Death Star's reactor alone was MILES across! How do you fit that into a-" JJ: "Death. Star. Tech!"
Phasma has become the blue balls joke in every movie in this trilogy. I do believe they confirmed she lives in leaks. She keeps coming back to do absolutely nothing. HAHA
gfarrell80 And maul basically won a duel against 2 Jedi, a master and a knight, singlehandedly. And Qui-Gon was one of the most powerful force users in the galaxy at the time.
when critics say this is the most intellectual and thought provoking star wars movie they are alluding to the fact that they cant figure out how or why it was written so poorly.
Christopher Peaden Classic Example of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Reviewers don't want to admit they don't get it and it was awful, because of the peer pressure and not wanting to be the only one saying it was bad because then you're the stupid one. The fans are the kid saying "That man's not wearing any clothes."
No it's because the critisims against the movie are stupid at best and morons like you claiming it's awful doesn't mean it is. Stupidity is rip on youtube and people like you and Gucci show that even more.
Lothars comes to a video discussing the faults of the movie, to tell people in the comments that any criticism is stupid. Let's forget that you're not very bright, and address what you said. So, what, we can't have an opinion because it differs from yours? You're right, and we're wrong on something that's subjective? Why are you watching Star Wars? You should be in school.
If Fin's a janitor, why is he part of Ren's personal detail in VII? Did he blaster dust particles so well, that Kilo - walking out of a room he just "temper tantrumed" - saw the skill of Fin's dust kills as he walked by, and he's like "You! Protect me with your janitorial wizardry!... ... and clean up this sword-fucked room... someone left all fucked."
I wonder why they taught him to shoot if he was a janitor as well. He was on the planet so does everyone get to be on a planet once in their career just to experience one massacre or one ransacking of a town?
Its all that anti-lightsaber tech the Mandalorians made to combat Jedi. That baton was like the old vibroblades made to kill Jedi. Honestly when I saw the trailer, and how Finn was dressed, I thought he had become a Jedi as well and that was a lightsaber since the cut in the trailer was quick. I thought it would be cool to have Kilo fight them both. But then again I don't know how they would given that the lightsaber moves he uses are heavy and sluggish and lack speed in exchange for intimidation. I guess I'm spoiled, and I can't believe I'm admitting this, I think I'm spoiled by that Revenge of the Sith fight where everything was rather fast and coordinated that Kilo's moves just seem slow and exhausted.
Then... how do spaceships make noise in the vacuum of space? And be able to slow down despite not having any engines at the front.... yeah, sci fi logic but who cares, it's the usual Hollywood magic
I can suspend a little disbelief in these kinds of movies, but not when scene after scene has completely stupid physics. If the rebel ships were faster why didn't they PULL AHEAD AT SOME POINT? How do the bombs not blow each other up when the first one goes off? How do laser shots ARC with no gravity? How does Holdor have the fuel for hyper jump when they were running out and had just filled all of the transports with fuel? etc
I had the same question but I just assumed that if you press the button the bombs most likely forcefully eject rather than drop. Object in motion stays in motion type deal I guess.
The Force Awakens started right away with bad dialogue. JJ made such a loose plot without any commitment to where certain threads would lead. The expectations were only failed, because he had no commitment to those ideas.
Excuse me, how did Vice Admiral Purple even hyperspace through Hux's ship when the First Order had already blown the bridge to smithereens? Remember with the whole 'Leia floating in Space' bit. That WAS how Admiral Ackbar died after all. Speaking of Admiral Ackbar, they should have made him do the sacrifice thing instead of Holdo. Can you imagine? First Order guy: General Hux, the Resistance cruiser is turning. It must be a diversion, right? Hux (notices its jumping to lightspeed): No, it's a trap! Admiral Ackbar: Allahu Ackbar!
This is so dumb. Everybody wants the new star wars to go the way THEY want it. There is literally no way the directors could please everyone. Get a job. Get a life and stfu
loool the new Star Wars didn't go the way ANYONE wanted it, no matter how much they lie and say they liked it. Also, if I put a comment that is directly relevant to the topic of a video ON the video, why does that mean I don't have a job or a life? Are you normal?
The Patient I agree with you, I don't want it to go the way I want, I just want it to be a good film. I'm not a writer, but I bet I can write a better story than what we did get.
driftor That’s like going on a pacifist march while your country gets invaded. They literally had an entire enemy empire next to them very intent on their destruction and they...demilitarized. What the fuck is wrong with the writers
Because the First Order is still relatively new and hidden, blahblahblah... it's some weird justification for something that doesn't make sense. Then again, there not being any sort of Republic army before the Clone Wars is dumb too, so it's certainly a rhyme situation.
In fairness, they wouldn't have expected that four separate planets and their fleets could be wiped out in one shot. On the other hand; I'm fairly certain a *Galactic Republic* would have more than one system's worth of ships.
Bro let's be honest, they were gonna kill off Snoke eventually either way; many people wanted to see Kylo (the vastly more interesting character) take the reigns of the Order. But we still need at least a quick flashback for Snoke's backstory, & I still dislike TLJ
@Parzival Player One I'm not. I think she, as do the still living former cast, understand the TRUE fans will love them for their HONEST Star Wars work and not the Disney crap they likely got scammed into doing. They all likely loved the idea of bringing Star Wars back but NEVER would have signed up for coming back if they knew how badly Disney planned to ruin it. I believe they all understand how AMAZING we know they are. Luke and Leia will ALWAYS to me be the Luke and Leia from Legends.
@@user-on9sb1qj6o The problem isn't her use of the force, it is her using the force in a highly advanced way to survive an event that is stronger than other attacks that have killed fully trained Jedi. This is when there is little to no background shown of her actually receiving force training.
Highly advanced?? She was attracting herself to the ship panel she doesn't get down a star destroyer. Then do you think in about 30 years leia didn't has a force training??? No it's impossible maybe it will explained in TROS but there are much points of view
Also the biggest plot hole I noticed when I first saw the film was that when rose 'saved' Finn, she could of single handily killed all the resistance if Luke did not show up. Finn was about to crash into the big gun destroying it and preventing the first order from getting into the base and buying them loads of time, but rose wanted to stop him, why? So that Disney can put in a shitty love story scene.
Midget Its so they can sell Finn toys, can't sell as many toys of a dead guy! Its just like George not killing Han. Look at porgs and ice cats, its all toys now. I get the original star wars was very sellable, but this is just blatant merchandizing.
because somtimes in the heat of the moment when the chips are down you are selfish when it involves someone who you may love? Because she wasnt thinking about anyone else but fin and herself and her feelings? and because thats normal no matter how anti hero that is. and thats just fine.
When I saw the underwater X-Wing, I was like "OOOOHHHHH YEAHHHHH LUKE IS GOING TO PULL THAT OUT AND FLY THAT AND DESTROY THE FIRST ORDER". Nope. It's just there. Nothing happens with it.
My room-mate has a theory that the porgs are cannibals. They weren't sad about chewie eating them. They were begging. Begging for food. Once she said it, I couldn't think of a single rebuttal. So now you all have to hear it too.
Allycat101010 You clearly haven’t seen cute animals with food, last week I took my cat’s bowl away playfully when he was having lunch, let’s just say I own a new wheelchair now.
The only person I really liked was the bombing run lady. That character who I dont even remember the name was more interesting than like 90% of the movie. Sacrificing herself and blowing up a star destroyer.
I have seen several videos about Mark Hamill complaining abut Luke Skywalker coward attitude in that trilogy. I suppose everyone agrees about that. Its pretty sad I suppose everyone expected to see him as a new mentor, Yoda stile.
nickthemusicnerd27 Wow really ? Hamill didn’t understand a character that he had played many years ago in 3 movies ? That’d be like RDJ saying to Disney after IF “ Hey can you tell me who Tony Stark is who is Ironman.
Why couldn't they expand Phasma's role here if they wanted a casino scene so bad? The character really needs some action in this film to give the heroes a hard time. Imo it would have made that whole segment worth while since Poe and the resistance have to deal with Hux, and Kylo Ren's arc with Rey.
It was there to show the little kids in peril. I thought that was so CHEAP. Reminded me this is essentially, A KIDS MOVIE. Let that sit in for a while.
@@th3envyp238 if ppl feel they must see it despite hating tlj then i just hope they buy a ticket for a more deserving movie then simply walk into ep 9. That's what i intend on doing
@@th3envyp238 That'll be their loss, not mine. Episode 8 made it abundantly clear there was never an overall plan for this trilogy, which means Episode 9 is going to be whatever J.J. can MacGyver together from the scraps that Ryan didn't burn.
Anyone who's played Middle Earth: Shadow of War knows exactly what Phasma is. It's going to be a joke how she supposedly dies and keeps coming back, just like certain Orcs keep coming back over and over. Like you can literally see their head separated from their body and they will still be back.
Brian hues Wasn't the fact that JJ only was part of Lost in the early beginning and only made two episodes, but then didn't do more since he was busy with Mission Impossible 3?
The moment they made a mom joke and Luke threw the lightsaber off the cliff, I knew it was going to suck. That was just the first 10 minutes. Then I became annoyed with the Luke drinking milk from that alien, that was downright disturbing.
They should have taken the purple lady entirely out of the story...& instead have Admiral Ackbar take over (after Leia dies in outer space, let's just say Admiral Ackbar was taking a shit & wasn't on the bridge when it got nuked) then have him kamikaze the cruiser into the First Order ships...that would have been a fitting end for him. Also..if the bridge got destroyed why was it in tact in later scenes...
Yeah exactly why introduce a pink haired lesbian when you had the beloved Admiral Ackbar. He could've gone out with a bang but instead he died in a 10 second scene and was brushed off. Imagine if he contacted the imperial fleet and when the imperial commander said "it's just a diversion" Ackbar could've said "no...it's a trap" And then suicide crash!
“I fundamentally disagree with every choice for Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi”-Mark Hamill
As does a fuck tone of actual Star Wars fans.
There are several clips of Mark Hamill questioning the direction of the new trilogy.
Oh my gosh stop taking this out of context. He said that when he first red the script he disagreed with his character's direction but eventually came around to it.
+FeebleBird903 It shows that his initial reservations were correct
FeebleBird903 That doesnt change the fact that he *originally* disagreed with it. He omly ever eventually accept it *months* after saying it *And* the fact that it apparently shocks and worries everyone from fans to even the director,Rian Johnson *Himself* .
So no. It's still actually quotable
This is what should've been done: instead of admiral purple hair, it should've been Ackbar who stayed behind on the Rebel Cruiser. He should've turned it towards the First Order fleet... they hail him...
First Order: ''Is this some sort of diversion?''
Ackbar: ''No. It's a trap''
* Boom *
but they wanted a female to be in charge because of women power. notice how so many leaders are females in this film.
I would've been able to die happily after that
David Harris it's normalization. It ain't propoganda, it's being casual about it
That would've been even cheesier than a lot of the jokes already in the movie.
LMAO
I think the Casino did a good job representing EA

"They wouldn't introduce a new threat in the last movie"
Aged like milk.
literally just commented this exact same thing and I didn't even see your comment lmaooooo
Zach Siebs or the “Rey’s parents are nobody’s” I laughed at that one
I was dying of laughter when they said that😂
Technically... There's no NEW threat 😄😄
JJ Abrams idea of "raising the stakes" is ALWAYS to take something from an earlier movie and x1000 it.
Mark Hamill said it best, "They had time for me to milk an alien but not enough time for Luke to show any emotion." Another big issue, suddenly all that's needed to wipe out a fleet is one ship jumping to light speed? All this time, why has anyone wasted their time fighting with laser blasters or turbo lasers? Another problem, the Empire, First Order, has seemingly unlimited resources. Two Death Stars, Star Killer base, 4 full fleets, and yet they only seem to grow in size? Where does this all come from if Star Killer Base was wiped out? The last fleet that was wiped out had no effect because the next scene they were all down on the planet with no issue. I'll stop there but I could keep going.
David Pieper Seriously, wtf was that scene? That was some disgusting shit lol
The First Order is inconsistent. It's supposed to be a small remnant of the Empire's military yet with the destruction of Starkiller Base you think they should be broken as a fighting force beyond repair, with barely any ships left, since it seemd Starkiller Base was their main base of operations, yet somehow they still have a big enough fleet led by a massive flagship and thousands of stormtroopers to chase and destroy the remainder of the Resistance fleet which is even smaller and weaker than the remnant of the once mighty Imperial fleet?
the first deathstar at least made some sense.... the empire was in (full) control of an entire galaxy and they had at least two decades to build one deathstar, and that one just recently got finished when a new hope begins. so that made at least some sense. the second deathstar only makes sense if it was already in construction way before a new hope
George Lucas is like that ex girlfriend you start to miss and wonder if it was really that bad
issac garcia he really was that bad. His editors and his ex-wife rescued the first star wars film. It was a bloated mess. Lucas is a decent idea guy but should not direct or edit his own works.
There is a great video of the edit here on youtube.
And just like that ex you take her out one time just to see, only to discover it was much much worse than you remembered.
may you provide the link?
TheMythic out shopping on phone. Search TH-cam for "star wars saved editing". I'll look for it later when back on pc.
I now like The Phantom Menace
Jar Jar Binks had more impact on the plot than Snoke did.

Icebergs can't cut steel hulls Holy shit you're right!
Rose: saving the ones you love is what war is all about.
Literally everyone: um thats what finn was trying to do.
@GrabberBythePuss Maybe that's why Luke went insane and started drinking... he saw the future
GrabberBythePuss O my god that’s true. Now I hate the movie even more
It's astounding to me how Rian Johnson is such a bad writer. Half of the shit that was said in TLJ makes zero sense. I really think there must be something wrong with people that defend this movie. I've never seen a movie that has more plot-holes and inconsistencies. It's embarrassing
Nah Star Wars is done for me, oh and BB-8 has more kills than Luke and Snoke.
Off screen BB-8 does the things you think he should be doing.
Star Wars rule of law of 2017: The more something gets cute, cuddly and friendly the more badass that being gets in a fight.
Don't forget Thasma
lol thats a disturbingly good point
Nem Denemam Snoke and Kylo are lucky the rebels don't have an army of BB-8s. You what F@$! the Jedi, every rebel should be trained to fight like a BB-8 and wear cardboard boxes to look like one.
That beginning bit between Poe and General Hux was like something out of Spaceballs rather than Star Wars
KarnevalAqua Kat No, poe has always been like that. It is his character, there is way worse comedy in the movie.
I agree. It's in character for Poe to joke around like that but they kept it going waaaaay too long.
I thought it was stupid. Starts the movie off with loss of credibility.
I don't like his character. He is a better pilot than Annakin on steroids. Maybe he's force sensitive but c'mon. Plus the sarcastic, irreverant humor doesn't work for me. Star Wars for a new generation I guess. Not sure why they feel the need to abandon a winning formula though.
The ridiculousness of the situation isnt Poe trying to piss off the enemy Admiral its that the fucking Admiral is make to look like a fucking joke who falls into a petty prank call. Absolute udder ridiculous bullshit. Makes the First Order look like a joke rather than a real threat. If anyone thinks the Nazis in WW2 were incompetent retards like this Admiral is portrayed to be then we would of lost the war because the real deal was fucking intelligent, organized, mature, and prepared which is why they were a real fucking threat to taking over the world. It is just absurd they though this would be funny. Again you miss the point completely it isnt Poe that is the problem but the incompetency of the First Order leaders to fall for that shit. Even the Empire leaders and Admirals would shrug off Poe's foolish attempt to antagonize them.
It's like Rian Johnson read all the fan theories, and then made it his mission to do the opposite to surprise us...at the cost of the movie...
Viral Killer I had the exact same thought.
that's exactly what I've been saying.... It's basically like if game of thrones would have been like "well everyone already figured out R+L=J, so lets not do that to surprise everyone at the expense of being a cohesive story"
Viral Killer .i thought the same thing
Viral Killer good screw fan theories
Viral Killer they completely did the opposite. They didn’t reveal snoke’s in the movie, they killed Luke to remove him from the franchise for no reason because Fisher died during the movie time(but hey lets see CGI Leia in episode 9...what a waste of money for episode 9)
2019 and I'm still mad about that movie
Yup, ditto brother.
Only seen LJ once, never want to see it ever again and have zero desire to see ep 9. 🖕😑
Fucking hell me too.
not watching, watching TFA was enough to block myself from watching, and it's way more interesting to watch reviews ripping apart JJ and RUIN JOHNSON.
Yep, and its not just the this movie that is ruined, it also shits on episode 9
I like TFA, but TLJ just makes episode 9 underwhelming. I really hope they retcon the fuck out of TLJ in episode 9 so we can forget it even exists.
I hope Phasma comes back in episode 9 and dies immediately in her first scene just so that becomes a running joke. What a fucking waste
Might as well now.
Oh my God, they killed Phasma! Those bastards!
Khanemis
She’s the Kenny of the new Star Wars films. Dies off every movie
oh my god, they killed phasma!
Next movie phasma comes back and gets crushed by a space station
*The directors attitude to every previous Star Wars film can be summed up with what Luke does with the lightsaber Rey hands him.*
Orphican He must hate star wars. There's no other explenation.
he was desperately trying to make it his film so he could do the last one that's what it seems to me like I watch the actor interviews and reading before the lines it seems they much prefer JJ not saying he was perfect but way better than this director!
Airyed Kathleen Kennedy announced that Rian will have his own trilogy following episode IX.
MattLaRiv oh right I just an interview with daisy ridley saying she thought Rian was going to direct the last one and was happy when JJ got announced
That’s exactly what I said, that lightsaber is the legacy of Star Wars, and he tossed it off a cliff at the beginning of the movie.
The Luke wanting to kill Kylo shows how much they didn't understand Luke. They ruined him.
Mana Batala ikr where the fuck is the luke that was brave.who turned darth vader back to the light side it's really stupid how they ruined luke
They turned a character that still believed his father could be saved, even after he wiped out almost the entire Jedi order, brought back the Sith and spent years at Palpatine's side to someone who tried to kill his own grandson just because he felt some evil inside Ben.
TLJ was an absolute joke, ruined every character and ruined everything interesting about TFA.
@@NerevarOfficialReal i agree the TFA was interesting but the last jedi was just trash
And beside they killed snoke when like we didn't even know who he is
Mani Batala the sad thing is Ryan Johnson tweeted that he knows Luke sky walker more than anyone 🤦🏽♂️
37:25
Joe: "Is there another threat we haven't been introduced to? No they wouldnt do that in the third movie."
Disney: Hold my beer
TFA: Luke leaves a map behind with R2 and his friend (Max Von Sydow) in case he's needed while he searches for Jedi lore.
TLJ: Luke's on some backwater planet trying to kill himself and has no idea how he was found
BRAVO RIAN
Luke never gave anyone a map. it never explained how he had part of a map to Skywalker.
Max Von Sydow was a friend of Luke's, he knew Kylo, remember? Also R2.
Johnny B ikr man I'm pissed
Welcome to shit writing everyone. This is DISNEY btw. Continuity etc is not their strong suit.

Spaceballs was more Star Wars then Last Jedi lol
FrankDaTank420 ! Sad but true.
Lmao
Hell, the damn clothes ironing joke was too silly even by Spaceballs standards and they literally combed a desert
Now it makes sense they gave those storm troopers flamethrowers.
Let’s all petition to make spaceballs canon! Who’s with me?
I had tears come to my eye when leia seemingly died. It would have been a very good scene, probably my favorite scene, and the only one done right, but instead she turns into Mary Poppins, and ruins the feel of the scene
Yeah, I was pretty confused at that too. It still puzzles me how they thought that was a good idea.
The plot holes are obvious, it was all constructed to give more protagonism to females,in detriment of the story itself, just like Holdo no talling her plan just to make Poe (a man) look like a complete idiot and have a woman be in the right and be the one to save everyone just for the sake of it and because SJW pandering
She was “Sky-walking”, that’s where the name comes from.
I don't mind that she used the force to save herself but the way it looked was really weird

Mike, Dude, just stop.
Notice she went into a coma immediately afterwards? Rey had some training. This was the first time Leia ever used the force in her entire life, cut her some slack. She was practically half out of it when she carried herself back to the ship.
Mike Rivera who even fucking cares anymore ... Disney clearly doesn’t.
Carlos Guevara Star Wars lore is unclear and full of bullshit. When you have something as arbitrary as the force you can bullshit all you want.
They don't know how space works. She should of froze.
It feels like 2 out of the 3 films have been made already and the plot hasn't advanced at all.
Plot? What plot? The plot has not even started yet.
UB3RFR3NZY lol in kinda of it is, Disney more or less is rehashing and spoon feeding us a bad imitation of the original trilogy
padme is 14 in TPM Anakin is 10
I felt like I watched 4 boring movies in a row instead of one good movie. They cut back to that exterior shot of the chase scene about a dozen times, where the laser bolts from the Supremacy hit the Raddus' shields. And I thought, "oh yeah. THAT'S still going on, huh? Maybe Po will finally get a chance to- no he gets shat on again, despite being the only guy on board who actually has plans that work. Maybe if they come back to this scene later- nope they did it again. And again. And again. Is Holdo the villain here?"
I agree with you. Previous Star Wars films felt 'epic', as if each one was telling a different chapter in a grand story. Each movie was set a number of years after the previous one and covered pivotal events occurring over a week or so. Setting TLJ immediately after the previous film, and describing a period of only 14 hours, seems rather anticlimactic in comparison.
what sucks is that Darth Vader had such an Epic Battle scene at the end of Rogue One. Why could they not give Luke something like that?
that scene gave me the biggest goosebumps ever. among the best scenes in the entire franchise
Very true, luke humiliated kylo but i wanted an epic duel not a a bullshit stand off
Luke standing in front of the ATs got me even pumped a bit. I thought he had deflected all Blasts with the force and would pop the ATs into each other right after. Making them fall like dominos, so Kylo had to crawl out of the debris. Imagined that they would fight one on one in an epic lightsaber battle and Luke would die epic (maybe by saving Rey). But instead.. we got that lame projection shit.
When Luke takes the blasts and just no sells it, that's awesome! ...... Until you realize he's not really there so it's fake.
That scene had more emotion and plot than the entire last jedi
Rian Jonson gets a hard-on from subverting expectations. It makes him feel like he's smarter than the entire world. But it's about as clever as a nine-year-old jumping out and going "Boo! Ha ha! Surprised you!"
Just because something is random doesn't mean it's clever.
Except he does have good ideas, Rey's twist is a twist pn the already common: I Am Your Father reveal, it's what we expect, so he once again challenges that expectation in an interesting way, because I don'g know about you, but having a hero who literally comes from nothing against this guy who came from heroes and became a hige villain is pretty cool, also he gave Luke a character arc instead of just amking him Yoda 2.0
I think Rian is just a nihilist, who wants to destroy what other people have made. I think the end of "The Last Jedi" proves this. At the end of the movie, the rebellion has been reduced to about 20 guys and the Millennium Falcon. Rian even makes the point of saying that the Rebels contacted the Republic for help and NO ONE was responding. Where can another writer possibly take things from there? If I were deliberately TRYING to f*ck up the franchise, "The Last Jedi" is exactly the kind of movie I would make.
Diego De la Fuente lol gave Luke a character arc? His Luke is a completely different person and ignores his past character development. That’s not clever writing, it’s stupid.
@Shonksu Anakin had 10-13 years of training.
Luke had 4 years. Got his ass kicked by Vader. Then in ROTJ he made Vader realize the conflict in him he didn't outright overpower Vader.
Rey on the other hand was handed everything to her. Force abilities with no training. A year of training at most after TLJ. They had to cover their tracks and explain the force dyad, Ren transferring some of his powers to her, and her being a Palpatine
Very well said
The Last Jedi was a trap!! That's why they eliminated Ackbar, so he couldn't warn us... RIP Admiral 😨

The 'Almost' Was Strong With This One. It was Almost a Star Wars movie, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Amen to this! It truly was an Almost film.
And they seemed shocked fans were mad. Like “wha did u expect destroying and entire canon a film franchise and fantasy world is built around?!” It would be like filming a HP movie that had no wizards or muggles and calling it canon. That never works when used cheaply for shock value.
What will they do now with fisher?! They had a chance to kill her character off and let it be an honorable thang... and missed it. They had a chance to make luke’s legacy count and not completely disrespect his entire contribution to the right side of the Force and good, and missed it. They coulda started some new love interests and missed it. They coulda given Snoke an actual storyline after building it up, but missed it. It all felt so cheesy and cheaply made.
HP worked for Disney cuz they used JK as consultant and she approved of everything. But they basically raped GL for his franchise then didn’t allow him any consultant role to ensure the canon...
+Princess Lissy
Was upheld... but they missed that too. Spent decades trying to acquire Lucasfilm for what?... they wanted that storyline and canon so badly for ages, once they got it, they decided not use any of it and make their own thang, so why did they bother buying the franchise just to destroy it? Makes no sense unless they were sure they could do it justice. The money is pointless if fans won’t see future films cuz of what they destroyed. They admitted the canon is GONE! We should take that to heart and say “ok, then we’ll wait till GL writes a new version of his SW and does it right.” He seemed sooooo sad about selling. He looked like he’d been bullied into it for so light he lost his fight. I had so loved Disney and hoped they would handle this right. They didn’t handle the deal right or the script and canon. No wonder fans are mad. They knew fans would be upset that Disney even acquired the franchise... so they knew they needed to bring it. They did with the first 2..
+Princess Lissy did they think a bait & switch wouldn’t be noticed by fans? I don’t get that. Film lovers aren’t dumb Consumers. They analyze and catch things others don’t. Sigh. 😔 I love Disney when they do what they do best: animated and princess movies and some family friendly series. But this mix everyone knew would be a bad idea. I had hoped they’d prove that notion wrong. They know how loyal SW fans are to Lucasfilm. They knew it was a delicate thing and that fans were praying they could make it work. All we wanted was a good movie and trilogy and to prove the Lucas deal wasn’t disrespectful to Lucasfilm. How could they mess all that up in ONE film. Lol. Yikes.
And I almost finished reading your really long list of almosts ;)
why didnt a sith write this? i hear they deal in absolutes
Skywalker deserved much better
Yep this Star wars ain't even star wars.
but the EU doesn't matter as it was all thrown out, so everything he accomplished there NEVER happened in the CU
I’m pretty sure he’ll be back as a force ghost, but I agree he deserved a more glorious death.
This movie is not star wars at all and luke is so not luke at all
"How could Phasma survive that?"
The same way Palpatine survived, MARKETING.
Nothing's stronger than plot armour
When Rey gave the lightsaber to Luke at the beginning and he just tossed it. I immediately knew the writers did the same.
I think that's how Mark Hamill feels about this "new" franchise in general.
edgy
I don't understand why all the heroes have to die for the new ones to "take" their place.
I had heard he wasn't happy with Luke in this movie. Guess I had too see it for myself.
Heavens Dark Phoenix they do the exact same thing with the new marvel comics
The biggest reason I’m disappointed with the last Jedi is if Rey was raised on a Desert planet how can she swim so well?
The Rogue Leader Cause she's Rey.
seriously? That's you're biggest disappointment? come on pls
😂😂😂
The Rogue Leader two words
Mary Sue
Cause Disney needs a strong female character who's great at many things with no explaination why.
*Hi, I'm Luke Skywalker. Despite being perhaps the most powerful jedi to have existed, I died by force fart*
Ikr? Like wtf?
Love your scary story videos.
Tf. Did Obi Wan die because death Vader bested him? Or because he knew he could help Luke more by becoming one with the force? Did yoga really age like a couple hundred years and die from old age from ROTS and ANH? Doubt it. Just like them Luke died because it was no longer his role to physically be there to stop the dark. Besides. You ever seen anyone create and control a hologram with voice and perfect likeness from light years away? Sounds pretty next level to me.
He was never the most powerful jedi.
Joe Brooks the projection you're referring to with Snoke is simply a video phone call, generals on star destroyers in Empire talked to Vader via videolink
Disney does not like villains they just want the good guy to win which sucks for story development. We need Darth Jar Jar
Love the fan theory on Darth Jar Jar.
Disney unlearnt into characters.
darth darth binks yeah !
If death jar jar actually happened it would blow everyone’s fucking minds and especially if he was smoke the whole time.
Darth Jar Jar, subverting our expectations!
Darth Vader murders the Jedi order, obiwan, innumerable beings across the galaxy for twenty odd years and younglings.
Luke: There's still good in him.
Kylo Ren has some evil dreams.
Luke: Well he's evil now, better kill him in his sleep.
Rudy Solomon III Luke didn’t know about what else his Father did, but he saw the potential for another Darth Vader. It’s not like he attempted to kill him, he did hesitate when he realized he was about to kill Kylo Ren.
Obiwan told Luke a good amount about the atrocities of Vader, perhaps not the younglings, but the Jedi and the various systems and he saw Obiwan die first hand.
Even though Luke had misgivings at the temple, he literally told Leia to her face Ben is beyond redemption and I'm going to end him.
Luke Skywalker was a hero because he did what his father could not and now he's just as corrupt, arrogant, hypocritical and misanthropic as the Republic Jedi.
Was he really that afraid of another Vader or was it Snoke that ignited that fear? He beat Vader through pacifism and appealing to his Light side. This is yet another legacy character who was ruined to make way for new characters that are not nearly as memorable.
I love this comment so much.
Cartoon Network be honest. Even Mark Hamil said the writing for Luke was uncharacteristic.
What a dumb comment
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Supreme Leader Snoke the Powerful? I thought not. It's not a story Disney would tell you. It's a fan legend. Snoke was the Supreme Leader of the First Order, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence and connect the minds of people across galaxies... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even force pull people through holograms. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his apprentice, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him while he was distracted while interrogating a Jedi. It's ironic... he could use the force to influence others from other galaxies, but not sense a lightsaber being manipulated right next to him.
Is it possible to learn this origin story?
Not from the Movies.
Now ive heard it all
“Fin and Rose Space Adventure!!”
Ep.1 save the horses!
I love you! Hahaha
(But in a friendly way, ok?)
Erik Clarkson good one
What they did with Finn is the biggest reason I hated this movie. Took a character that looked like he could be the lead and turned him into a token.
It's funny because you know that as soon as they save the horses, they're just gonna get captured again xD
*Weird Chihuahua horses.
As The Act Man once said, the second part in a trilogy is the most important because it follows up the previous part and sets up the final part. Say what you want about the prequals but from a fundamental stand point, AOTC is a better middle movie than TLJ. TLJ threw away nearly every plot point from TFA and gave no direction for episode 9 to go.
I hated the ship plot. Felt like a Clone Wars episode
Edit: I didn’t mean to insult Clone Wars, it’s a very good show. I felt like the movie could’ve done better than do a stuck on a ship plot, which should only be for shows
The Lone Drone it was hunt for Red october basically
Don't insult Clone Wars by comparing it to this trash.
My thoughts exactly. Even Dave filoni wouldn’t come up with a plot this weak.
Dave Filoni had to come up with shit like this because he was making countless episodes of a kids show. If he had written this movie, it would have been a freaking masterpiece compared to what Rian Johnson did. That guy has 1% of the understanding and lore knowledge Filoni has.
The whole movie felt like an episodes of rebels
Admiral Ackbar should have been the one to sacrifice himself and go into hyperspace through the First Order ships and either you let Laura Dern character live for episode IX or you erase her from the movie entirely.
Or princess lea
Ackbar should have been the leader after Leia. But noooo miss random purple hair lady was much important. Lame shit.
I agree, Ackbar deserved so much better than this, and it should have been either him or Leia to make the sacrifice at the end. What we got instead was a missed opportunity to do something interesting with Holdo and make her a First Order sympathizer but it turns out she was just in cahoots with Leia and they neglected to tell Poe for some reason.
This....
Everyman's nightmare STING!!!!!
BB-8 had most kills
The bitch is hardcore
When all of the ATATs fired at Luke, I first thought that when the dust cleared it would have been revealed that Luke had suspended all of the thousands of blaster rounds from the ATATs in midair just like Kylo did that one blaster round at the start of The Force Awakens. Then he could have force-pushed all of the rounds back at the ATATs, destroying them all and leaving the battlefield completely barren aside from him and Kylo.
Nah, that actually would've made sense and been awesome.
That would have been nice!
@@raymondvalasquez3992 not to me, hologram luke fits WAYYY better with the theme of Man and Myth, because no matter how much he trained or got powers, Luke as a man would never live up to the status of Luke The Legend, the warrior who defeated Darth Vader and Darth Sidious and destroyed the Empire, and thsi fits well, also when he fades away it's a nice callback to both Obi Wan and Han, with the "I will Always be with you" aswell as the "See You Around kid"
That scene was such a huge let down. I was hoping an epic battle between those two but nope. Missed opportunity.
That would've been so cool! And the shoulder brush would've just added to it bc Skywalker sass. xD
Watch Mark Hamill before the World Premiere and how excited he was then watch how he looked after he watched the movie and was next to Rian Johnson. He looked shocked, mad, and in disbelief. Rian Johnson looked happy and Mark Hamill looked upset. I feel bad for Hamill. I don't think this film should be counted as canon just for the actors sakes and the fans sakes.
Where can I see that?
Too shitty to be cannon.
Yes, there's a Change petition to remove this movie from canon. I feel so bad for Mark. Rian treated Luke like trash.
girl4mac4 Look up "sad Mark Hamill", or "Mark Hamill at premiere", there are a bunch of videos. Rian looks like a smug little troll, and Mark looks shocked. Then Mark turns and looks at Rian as if to say, "How could you do that?!"
FuzzzWuzzz He actually WAS surprised because Rian tweaked the film to have Luke Skywalker die the way he did. Which in turn shocked Mark because he saw how horrible his character was handled. Yeah he did film the scenes but i'm pretty sure Rian lied to Mark and told him that Luke would die heroicly.
So funny that the whole secret Finn Codebreaker subplot my Bro fell asleep watching. He woke up when Leia shot Po. He asked me what he had missed and I said "nothing you literally missed NOTHING!"
The only thing that could’ve made that arc remotely interesting was if Lando turned out to be the master code breaker, man the setting was perfect!
I swear I thought you were my lil bro posting this because I fell asleep during that whole subplot
It was 100% pointless
That moment when you willingly watch an hour long youtube video over bashing the new Star Wars movie and you don't consider it a waste of time because the new Star Wars movie legitimately upset you that much.
Me.
second to that
seriously dude trying to calm down after watching that movie
I enjoyed this video because they don't hold back like the critics did.
Meeee
Happened with TFA so only watched spoilers and clips of the movie
When the director himself says that “you can’t focus on what the fans want” that’s when you know it’s gonna be a weak film with weaker direction
Wait why does phasma surrenders in the force awakens if her armor is laserproof?i mean finn was threatening her with a blaster
Goddamnit plotholes within plotholes.
Constantin Alexandru the gun was aimed at her neck...
I dont think it would be blast proof at a close range. Just like a real bullet proof vest. Objects lose energy and force across distances.
That makes sense. Well then, could they have been aiming the gun in between her neck and helmet?
But blasters are not laser weapons. They use superheated plasma as ammunition. And plasma unlike light has mass.
The best scene in the whole movie was when R2D2 and Luke reunited
A couple scene like that were great.. but on the other hand how couldn't those scenes be great. Only thing new in this movie that was cool was the force skype calling, and the romantic tension between Rey and Kylo. Overall though so disappointing.
B McMinn The only actually touching moment throughout the whole movie. Was a great scene in a very lackluster film.
I agree, the only time we got to see the 'real' Luke
Snoke’s existence is about as pointless as that spin obi wan did against darth Vader in A New Hope
If he had a bigger part than we would just have another Palpatine character. I'm glad they went a different route.
Pro Gamer what you just said, is the prime reason smoke died so fast. He was never supposed to be the main villain at all. Him dying is a symbol of the with dying, and Kylo shaping his own destiny and identity outside of smoke and the with. not sure what movie you were watching if that wasn't obvious dude lol
K McKee You butchered the shit out of your paragraph.
The problem is not him dying, the problem is the WAY in which he died and without any explanation as to who the character was.
We just get a mangled, incredibly powerful dark Force user pop up out of nowhere and then die in the second film.... Why did this character even need to exist then?
Lol
1. Luke is reduced to a hesitant jerk.
2. Too many twists and turns to count.
3. Disrespects the original films in terms of lore and history.
4. Mixing comedy into the serious moments.
5. (My personal issue), Finn is put into a very pointless side story with one character who is just there.
6. Wasting both actor Andy Serkis, and his character.
No 2. Was the biggest nail in the coffin, you have to balance surprises. You can't have a predictable movie but at the same time don't toss away all of the buildup. Guess which extreme Disney boy landed on? What a complete idiot.
I just noticed... she deflected a shot in TLJ in her uniform and she was held at gun point in the force awakens in the same uniform...
Oh...my...god... you're fucking right.
Finn was sticking it up her helmet, not at it.
Evolved Turtle Productions that doesn't fucking matter lol
Chewie's bowgun... is fuckin' stronger than any blaster.
Yep, the whole hostage thing from TFA was bantha poodoo and TLJ just made it even worse somehow...
the Leia scene was the funniest joke of the whole movie.
Lucas Allen nah, snoke moving rey around while she talked, i laughed in the cinema XD she looked like she was on a treadmill XD
+Marauder623 Rey in general is a joke.
Mary Poppins princess in space
She's Mary Poppins y'all!
I feel so sorry for Carrie Fisher, she has always feared her legacy was the Golden Bikini. Now, she is a friggin meme. I hope she can RIP
Rey's parents sold Rey for some of them deathsticks
I would have too.
Rey is garbage.
Savage.
They wanted to go home and rethink their lives after having to deal with Rey for ten minutes.
Best explanation
RatioTile "Wanna buy some death sticks?"
"Sure, here's a kid."
Bruh they didn't even mention how suddenly the concept of fuel is introduced for the first time in all of star wars
Fuel _could_ be an issue, but it shouldn't be. A real-life nuclear-powered battleship can operate up to 20 years before needing to be refueled; in-universe, a capital ship can have up to 5 years worth of consumables. Are we _really_ supposed to believe that a single jump through lightspeed would deplete a warship's fuel reserves?
Because the alternative would be the Resistance saying "oops, looks like we forgot to gas up before we left!" Which is equally moronic.
Fuel has been mentioned in Star Wars before TLJ. The one that immediately comes to mind is Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine in Episode I when he says "We'll need to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship." Han also mentions fuel in one of the movies but I don't remember which one. They're just throwaway lines, though, and don't factor into the plot much at all.
It was discussed in the OT...
And then in "Rise of Skywalker" we get "light-speed skipping" so I guess "fuel" is no longer a problem. (The real reason why this is happening is because JJ stole it from "Guardians of the Galaxy" because he thought it looked cool. It is literally as simple as that.)
You guys are all wrong. It's the introduction of hyperfuel for the hyperdrive. Fuel for the thrusters, like in the ot and pt are a separate system entirely.
The way Luke reacts to Rey giving him his old lightsaber is the way Johnson dealt with all our burning questions from the Force Awakens.
To which I say, good riddance. I hated how JJ Abrams turned "Star Wars" into a TV pilot with a hundred BURNING QUESTIONS.
+James Van Fleet Well Rian had the chance to answer them but said to hell with it.
To know the story about Snoke, you have to buy some lootboxes...
Hyandur you already made this comment nub.
I believe they (Disney) will make another trilogy where they will try to explaining what Snoke is. After all Star Wars is their cash cow and they will milk it dry. Therefore they will not give any explanations in this trilogy.
Just saying but Rian Johnson himself said in an interview that he wouldn't go on Snoke's backstory for The Last Jedi.
The movie didn't reveal Snoke's backstory because it perfectly aligned with the theme. This movie is about the inevitability of failure. The absence of Snoke's backstory is basically saying no matter how powerful you are, you're still a nobody in the end. If you overestimated yourself, you're going to fall just like everyone else. TLJ has many flaws but Snoke isn't one of them.
@RookieN08 But that's silly. Snoke is an insanely important character with gaping questions around him. Where did he come from? He is a Sith Lord, obviously, and he is adhering to the Rule of Two, but then who was his master. The last two Sith Lords were Palpatine and Vader, and neither of them had any canonical apprentices. So again, where did this man, who single-handedly destroyed the Republic and created an Empire with huge fleets and superweapons, something that took freakin Palpatine decades of careful masterminding, in just a few short years, come from? What is he about? These are not trivial questions, these are the crucially important building blocks in this kind of story that get you an "F" in writing class if you miss them.
So no, Snoke is not a "nobody". If he is, then the Emperor was a nobody as well, and while it's true he was in the same situation in the original trilogy, Palpatine didn't have to fit into a giant, mapped out canon. The least we can ask for is at least *some* info on the alleged big bad.
luke sums up the movie perfectly in the trailers...."this is not going to go the way you think"
guitarman0365 actually I expected it to be shit
wayne Jacobs well..
Not the way you think as in some twists in the story. Even if you expected it to be bad you didn't expect snoke dying.
True af. I thought it would be the best film in the saga.
It didn't go the way I thought.
The line should've been "This is not going to go the way you think.....and NOT in a good way"
I didn't think it would be great but not this bad.
Rian Johnson, I have never seen someone given such a concept/story rich set up, with most of difficult work in establishing characters and setting up interesting plot points and environments completed ( to a point that a blind man could see them) and manage to not only miss them completely, but to actively subvert them at the expense of the movie, while showing a complete disregard and for the subject matter of the film and total contempt of the expected audience. I hope one day someone comes and does the same thing to something you love like, WWII, or sucking up to critics who have already been paid by Disney.
MetaJoy it wasn’t Rian Johnson it was Colin Trevorrow and Disney. Disney hired Colin Trevorrow to write and direct the last Jedi who’s only credit was Jurassic World... Yeah... Rian Johnson actually wrote and directed Rouge One. Half way through last Jedi they brought Rian in because Colin fucked it up so bad but they didn’t want to give him credit for both because they would have had to pay him twice. That’s why Rian got his own trilogy. Because he took ownership of this piece of shit film he had really no part of.
@@kurtrussell4527 Ouch, thanks for setting things straight, because credit should definitely go where it is due.
KurtRussell 4 kudos to you man, you actually came into this comment section and spewed bullshit and lies and @MetaJoy actually bought it. LMFAO.
KurtRussell 4 Rian Johnson didn’t direct Rogue One
I think Rian is just a nihilist, who likes to destroy things that other people have made. Think about the way he ended "The Last Jedi." At the end of the movie, the Rebellion has been reduced to about 20 guys and the Millennium Falcon. He even goes out of his way to point out that the Rebels contacted the Republic for help and NO ONE was responding. Where can another writer possibly take things from there? If I was deliberately TRYING to f*ck up the franchise, "The Last Jedi" is exactly the kind of movie I'd make. Rian would rather be remembered as "that guy who f*cked up the Star Wars franchise" than to be forgotten.
I didn’t jump on the whole ‘Disney is the death of Starwars’ bandwagon but holy shit! The film is a train wreck. I’m pretending this hasn’t happened... oh god!!!
Maybe you should have, lol.
Chewie was just an UBER driver in this one!
Ray Bullmore lol
He also knocked in Lukes door, that was very plot heavy piece, without Chewie she would never have been able to confront Luke. ;)
comment of the century!
Ray Bullmore pretty much
And why the hell was the Falcon now not CHEWYS SHIP?!?!? I don’t see how he has white privilege....lol. I walked out of that movie AMAZED at just how poorly written and thought out and overall BAD it was! Geez Ruin/KK just own it, you put out a BAD PRODUCT! So laughably dumb! But a few people liked it, cool great.....but Star Wars was always unifying.....
Star Wars ended as was intended in...
1983!!
Is there a micro transaction I can purchase to get the real storyline
B McMinn I would pay for that. And I refused to pay for a single microtranaction for my whole gaming life.
your comment just made my day, thank you
Sir the force is strong within you.
This review is already better than the movie.
Rian Johnson was the writer, her was credited as writer/director. He gets most of the credit and he gets most of the blame
Yup, Kathleen Kenedy needs calling out.
doghous3 DEFINITELY! Get her ass kicked out and stays as far away from anything Star Wars as possible.

Never thought I'd see the day where the Prequels were considered the "Silver Age" of Star Wars.

u guys are just talking smack, the movie was amazing i mean did you see the scene where leiya flew through space like superman? i mean wow and did you see the lightsaber battle between luke and kylo? best two and a half seconds of all the star wars movies, ryan johnson did an amazing job he knew that no one wanted to see a proper light saber battle and also listened to all the fans when they cried out please kill off luke skywalker, the only thing the movie was missing was the dance scene from spiderman 3
They got us in the first half I ain't gonna lie
nice fanboy commenting there mixed with sarcasm. lol
conan barrett you can lift an X-wing with the force so pulling yourself in zero gravity shouldn't be hard at all. As far as her not freezing though....
@@NASkeywest How was her body not just immediately torn three ways to Sunday from the rather immediate and disastrous effects that the vacuum of space has on human physiology? How did she open the door from outside? Why, when the door opened, did she just pop in instead of being blown right the fuck back out along with everyone standing nearby?
@@bismo_funyuns8684 Yeah it did until the proper lightsaber battle part
Oh,, Snoke telling Kylo that his helmet looked stupid.. So that he could se the "conflict" in Kylos face.. That was straight out of Spaceballs the movie.. Where the president tells dark helmet that he wants to see his face, because how will he know that Dark helmet isn't making faces at him under that thing.... Geez
Also how the fuck did Rey know how to swim? She was raised, by herself. On a planet DEVOID OF BODIES OF WATER.
Christian Williamson I don’t remember a swimming scene in the movie
when she jumped into the pit
Dude. That was the first thought I had when she jumped in there and later had to go all the way back to the top of the island.
I thought I was too critical and no one will see it the same. You are the first comment on the internet that shares the same thought. Nice, bro! :')
That’s why I stopped being critical at the movies. They Bungle so much up that if I keep track it ruins it for me.
You are totally right with that. The thing is: The more I read about screenwriting and techiques to write a story, the more critical I am and the more I hate myself for being it. Because it disturbs the joy while watching something. -.-
George Lucas: I think I fucked up the prequels. Disney: Hold my beer.
Disney didn't make these. It would be like blaming 20th Century Fox for Jar Jar. Disney doesnt write, direct, produce, cast...they play little to no role in making these movies. Rian Johnson is not Disney.
+Jason Harshman but the writers and director are all Disney’s choices. I’ve said from the beginning that rian Johnson was a shit choice for a director for a numbered Star Wars movie.
Still, don't you think its a bit unfair to pin EVERYTHING on Disney? Kathleen Kennedy IS the one responsible for all things Star Wars now, so if anything, shouldn't you pin things on her?
While I do see where you are coming from, do remember is an Lucasfilm production, which Kathleen Kennedy is in charge of. So, if you wanna blame anyone for what Rian did, blame her.
don't be so naive, they do take part in it, by making sure, the movie is more profitable, they do this with videogames, they do this with movies. Those tons of fucking animals for example is totally their doing!
“They wouldn’t introduce a new threat for the final movie.”
Palpatine and the Final Order: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Connor King hahahaha
JJ isn't talented enough to create a new threat. His idea of "raising the stakes" is ALWAYS to take something from an earlier movie and x1000 it. Imagine him talking to the special effects guys:
JJ: "And each of these Star Destroyers will have Death Star Tech, so it will have a cannon capable of destroying an entire planet!"
SFX Guys: "JJ. did you even SEE 'Return of the Jedi?' The Death Star's reactor alone was MILES across! How do you fit that into a-"
JJ: "Death. Star. Tech!"
Lol the final order, really? (Didnt watch the last film)
Technically it's not a new threat
Phasma has become the blue balls joke in every movie in this trilogy. I do believe they confirmed she lives in leaks. She keeps coming back to do absolutely nothing. HAHA
Wilky _
Kyle nemesis=Crybaby Kyle
Finn nemesis=Phasma
Phasma is an even stupider villain than Darth Maul.
Indras Baruno
And he did killd his target at ep 1.
gfarrell80 And maul basically won a duel against 2 Jedi, a master and a knight, singlehandedly. And Qui-Gon was one of the most powerful force users in the galaxy at the time.
She's the Boba Fett of the trilogy
he was too busy trying to 'subvert expectations' to write a decent movie. so lemme just subvert his expectations of ever getting hands on my money.
Well they were technically correct in subverting expectations, if fans expected a good Star Wars film they definitely subverted that!
ccricers Not really if you knew Disney you’d know they would pull something like this, we just didn’t expect how bad the last shit was
The last Jedi made me give up on star wars.
You're not alone.
Save your money. Dont see TLJ

"You can be anybody and you can be a Jedi" was already true for prequels.
Now its more like, "Anybody can be as strong as a Skywalker"
Look at Ahsoka, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and Plo Koon
No training necessary
when critics say this is the most intellectual and thought provoking star wars movie they are alluding to the fact that they cant figure out how or why it was written so poorly.
Christopher Peaden Classic Example of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Reviewers don't want to admit they don't get it and it was awful, because of the peer pressure and not wanting to be the only one saying it was bad because then you're the stupid one. The fans are the kid saying "That man's not wearing any clothes."
It might be more that Disney is telling them: "Review nicely or else you're not getting invited to any previews anymore."
No it's because the critisims against the movie are stupid at best and morons like you claiming it's awful doesn't mean it is. Stupidity is rip on youtube and people like you and Gucci show that even more.
Lothars comes to a video discussing the faults of the movie, to tell people in the comments that any criticism is stupid. Let's forget that you're not very bright, and address what you said. So, what, we can't have an opinion because it differs from yours? You're right, and we're wrong on something that's subjective? Why are you watching Star Wars? You should be in school.
It was way too much SJW bs.
Phasma gets beat by a janitor
Twice
If Fin's a janitor, why is he part of Ren's personal detail in VII? Did he blaster dust particles so well, that Kilo - walking out of a room he just "temper tantrumed" - saw the skill of Fin's dust kills as he walked by, and he's like "You! Protect me with your janitorial wizardry!... ... and clean up this sword-fucked room... someone left all fucked."
I wonder why they taught him to shoot if he was a janitor as well. He was on the planet so does everyone get to be on a planet once in their career just to experience one massacre or one ransacking of a town?
A janitor that smacked her around with a stick.
Fuck, the riot baton is more badass than the lightsabers in this new trilogy.
Its all that anti-lightsaber tech the Mandalorians made to combat Jedi. That baton was like the old vibroblades made to kill Jedi. Honestly when I saw the trailer, and how Finn was dressed, I thought he had become a Jedi as well and that was a lightsaber since the cut in the trailer was quick. I thought it would be cool to have Kilo fight them both. But then again I don't know how they would given that the lightsaber moves he uses are heavy and sluggish and lack speed in exchange for intimidation. I guess I'm spoiled, and I can't believe I'm admitting this, I think I'm spoiled by that Revenge of the Sith fight where everything was rather fast and coordinated that Kilo's moves just seem slow and exhausted.
How do bombs fall in space ?
Then... how do spaceships make noise in the vacuum of space? And be able to slow down despite not having any engines at the front.... yeah, sci fi logic but who cares, it's the usual Hollywood magic
This. Why the fuck didn’t I even think about that. They fall as if the ship is magnetic or has it own gravity
I can suspend a little disbelief in these kinds of movies, but not when scene after scene has completely stupid physics. If the rebel ships were faster why didn't they PULL AHEAD AT SOME POINT? How do the bombs not blow each other up when the first one goes off? How do laser shots ARC with no gravity? How does Holdor have the fuel for hyper jump when they were running out and had just filled all of the transports with fuel? etc
I had the same question but I just assumed that if you press the button the bombs most likely forcefully eject rather than drop. Object in motion stays in motion type deal I guess.
How you could build a mega stardestroyer with no shield in it?
You guys nailed every point of what is completely wrong with The Last Jedi.
This film describes my life: A bunch of plot holes and bad dialogue that lead to a trainwreck with no hope
I guess he at least succeeded in making it relatable to most of us 😂😂
There is always hope :)
Sorry to hear that bud, but you are not wrong about this film.
The Force Awakens started right away with bad dialogue. JJ made such a loose plot without any commitment to where certain threads would lead. The expectations were only failed, because he had no commitment to those ideas.
You are not alone
Excuse me, how did Vice Admiral Purple even hyperspace through Hux's ship when the First Order had already blown the bridge to smithereens? Remember with the whole 'Leia floating in Space' bit. That WAS how Admiral Ackbar died after all. Speaking of Admiral Ackbar, they should have made him do the sacrifice thing instead of Holdo. Can you imagine?
First Order guy: General Hux, the Resistance cruiser is turning. It must be a diversion, right?
Hux (notices its jumping to lightspeed): No, it's a trap!
Admiral Ackbar: Allahu Ackbar!
Good point but one problem, he's not a female so he can't be "catered" to much.
This is so dumb. Everybody wants the new star wars to go the way THEY want it. There is literally no way the directors could please everyone. Get a job. Get a life and stfu
loool the new Star Wars didn't go the way ANYONE wanted it, no matter how much they lie and say they liked it. Also, if I put a comment that is directly relevant to the topic of a video ON the video, why does that mean I don't have a job or a life? Are you normal?
The Patient I agree with you, I don't want it to go the way I want, I just want it to be a good film. I'm not a writer, but I bet I can write a better story than what we did get.
"It's a trap"
One thing always bothered me. Who the hell puts their entire military force in one location? In one strike the entire republic fleet is gone? Really??
The modern Republic was demilitarized, they didn't have a fleet.
Super dumb rationalization, but it's what the new canon has presented.
xj3ewok that’s not even close to the worst of the military tactics in the movie
driftor That’s like going on a pacifist march while your country gets invaded. They literally had an entire enemy empire next to them very intent on their destruction and they...demilitarized. What the fuck is wrong with the writers
Because the First Order is still relatively new and hidden, blahblahblah... it's some weird justification for something that doesn't make sense. Then again, there not being any sort of Republic army before the Clone Wars is dumb too, so it's certainly a rhyme situation.
In fairness, they wouldn't have expected that four separate planets and their fleets could be wiped out in one shot. On the other hand; I'm fairly certain a *Galactic Republic* would have more than one system's worth of ships.

Bro let's be honest, they were gonna kill off Snoke eventually either way; many people wanted to see Kylo (the vastly more interesting character) take the reigns of the Order.
But we still need at least a quick flashback for Snoke's backstory, & I still dislike TLJ
Flying Leia "I'm Mary Poppins, Y'all!"
Yeah, Leia, who WAS a strong woman, now is a joke in the Star Wars universe. Great job Disney
@Parzival Player One I'm not. I think she, as do the still living former cast, understand the TRUE fans will love them for their HONEST Star Wars work and not the Disney crap they likely got scammed into doing. They all likely loved the idea of bringing Star Wars back but NEVER would have signed up for coming back if they knew how badly Disney planned to ruin it. I believe they all understand how AMAZING we know they are. Luke and Leia will ALWAYS to me be the Luke and Leia from Legends.
Leia can use the force. The scene can be show as better but leiabcan use the force
@@user-on9sb1qj6o The problem isn't her use of the force, it is her using the force in a highly advanced way to survive an event that is stronger than other attacks that have killed fully trained Jedi. This is when there is little to no background shown of her actually receiving force training.
Highly advanced?? She was attracting herself to the ship panel she doesn't get down a star destroyer. Then do you think in about 30 years leia didn't has a force training??? No it's impossible maybe it will explained in TROS but there are much points of view
Also the biggest plot hole I noticed when I first saw the film was that when rose 'saved' Finn, she could of single handily killed all the resistance if Luke did not show up. Finn was about to crash into the big gun destroying it and preventing the first order from getting into the base and buying them loads of time, but rose wanted to stop him, why? So that Disney can put in a shitty love story scene.
Midget Its so they can sell Finn toys, can't sell as many toys of a dead guy! Its just like George not killing Han. Look at porgs and ice cats, its all toys now. I get the original star wars was very sellable, but this is just blatant merchandizing.
Film heavily hits onto asian market,too many of them in this film
Yo, why didn't the AT-ATs open fire on the wreckage lmaoooo
because somtimes in the heat of the moment when the chips are down you are selfish when it involves someone who you may love? Because she wasnt thinking about anyone else but fin and herself and her feelings? and because thats normal no matter how anti hero that is. and thats just fine.
Midget yep Finn could’ve been the savior of the resistance but nope we gotta have a shitty love plot
I would love to see Rian Johnson personally respond to these criticisms and try and rationalize them.
When I saw the underwater X-Wing, I was like "OOOOHHHHH YEAHHHHH LUKE IS GOING TO PULL THAT OUT AND FLY THAT AND DESTROY THE FIRST ORDER". Nope. It's just there. Nothing happens with it.
@G Money stfu
My room-mate has a theory that the porgs are cannibals.
They weren't sad about chewie eating them. They were begging. Begging for food.
Once she said it, I couldn't think of a single rebuttal. So now you all have to hear it too.
Allycat101010 You clearly haven’t seen cute animals with food, last week I took my cat’s bowl away playfully when he was having lunch, let’s just say I own a new wheelchair now.

Snoke was half the man he used to be

You win a million likes. TH-cam just wont let me. Communists.
I'm flattered ^^
Weeell I'm haaalf the man I uuuuused to be
The only person I really liked was the bombing run lady. That character who I dont even remember the name was more interesting than like 90% of the movie. Sacrificing herself and blowing up a star destroyer.
Supposedly she was Rose Ticos sister xU... Gimmie a Break..
But if you think about that the bomb bay doors are open on that bomber. Then oxygen and everything would have been sucked out into space.
dedon 53 What about magnets? Or propulsion mechanisms?
@@allenjames4808 She would have died with no oxygen and not been able to hit the drop. That's the point I'm making here she would be dead.
@@dillonbernard6814 But hangars are regularly shown open with ships going in or out and people are working inside and not dying.
The Last Jedi was more of a Star Wars parody than Space Balls
I have seen several videos about Mark Hamill complaining abut Luke Skywalker coward attitude in that trilogy.
I suppose everyone agrees about that. Its pretty sad I suppose everyone expected to see him as a new mentor, Yoda stile.
Xavi Simon did you see th full thing, mark didnt like lukes character until rian johnson explained it to him
nickthemusicnerd27 Wow really ? Hamill didn’t understand a character that he had played many years ago in 3 movies ? That’d be like RDJ saying to Disney after IF “ Hey can you tell me who Tony Stark is who is Ironman.
Lonnie Dearing I meant he explained why Luke changed
The whole casino subplot was boring af
Why couldn't they expand Phasma's role here if they wanted a casino scene so bad? The character really needs some action in this film to give the heroes a hard time. Imo it would have made that whole segment worth while since Poe and the resistance have to deal with Hux, and Kylo Ren's arc with Rey.
Agreed totally boring and sad
Yea I hated that
I'm an idiot it was so stupid
It was there to show the little kids in peril. I thought that was so CHEAP. Reminded me this is essentially, A KIDS MOVIE. Let that sit in for a while.
they were trying to make Spaceballs 2
Eddie Castillo *The Search for More Money*
SPACEBALLS WAS HILARIOUS AND THIS MOVIE WAS A SNOREFEST!
The fools didn’t realize it was going to be “spaceballs 3 the search for spaceballs 2”
who else is watching this after the episode 9 trailer dropped?
boycott ep 9 to teach kathleen and those losers at the new lucasfilm a lesson
@@johngoldfield6602 Yeah right....idiots are gonna flock to spend their money
@@th3envyp238 if ppl feel they must see it despite hating tlj then i just hope they buy a ticket for a more deserving movie then simply walk into ep 9. That's what i intend on doing
@@th3envyp238 That'll be their loss, not mine. Episode 8 made it abundantly clear there was never an overall plan for this trilogy, which means Episode 9 is going to be whatever J.J. can MacGyver together from the scraps that Ryan didn't burn.
@@travissmith5994 hey man you're just preaching to the choir over here...I haven't even watched TLJ
Anyone who's played Middle Earth: Shadow of War knows exactly what Phasma is. It's going to be a joke how she supposedly dies and keeps coming back, just like certain Orcs keep coming back over and over. Like you can literally see their head separated from their body and they will still be back.
"Still alive!"
"Still alive!"
Phasma is the chicken from Family Guy.
"Sticky Glueee"
O.O *War Flashbacks*
J.J. Abrams has to be pulling his hair out right about now.
he is the executive producer of this abomination
Mike M Someone else directed this shit
JJ has a history of set ups with little to no answer.. Lost anyone?
All over the news JJ was stated as the Co writer, and Producer of this film. JJ is just as responsible the Director and Disney.
Brian hues Wasn't the fact that JJ only was part of Lost in the early beginning and only made two episodes, but then didn't do more since he was busy with Mission Impossible 3?
Rose officially unseated Jar Jar Binks as the most useless and annoying character in star wars
Golden Spike Tactical I loved jar jar!
Golden Spike Tactical useless lmao you dumbshit shes a engineer in the command ship I think that's fucking important
Everyone loves me
Ser Josh and what's of it? Her role was so insignificant not to mention lack of personality.
Agreed
I love how Rey can move some rocks after 1 lesson on the force while Luke struggled to get his lightsaber when it was 5 feet away
Yeah, that's a Mary Sue for you!
I think worst thing in the movie, was Snokes dead... Finally there was true Sith lord.. And then he just dies...
Once I saw that scene with Leia flying back into the destroyed rebel ship I knew this movie was ass
I felt that way after the opening joke sequence between poe and hux.. ... I though I was watching space balls again.
It was cheesy
Space balls is great compared to this movie tho
The moment they made a mom joke and Luke threw the lightsaber off the cliff, I knew it was going to suck. That was just the first 10 minutes. Then I became annoyed with the Luke drinking milk from that alien, that was downright disturbing.
I threw up in my mouth
They should have taken the purple lady entirely out of the story...& instead have Admiral Ackbar take over (after Leia dies in outer space, let's just say Admiral Ackbar was taking a shit & wasn't on the bridge when it got nuked) then have him kamikaze the cruiser into the First Order ships...that would have been a fitting end for him. Also..if the bridge got destroyed why was it in tact in later scenes...
Yeah exactly why introduce a pink haired lesbian when you had the beloved Admiral Ackbar. He could've gone out with a bang but instead he died in a 10 second scene and was brushed off. Imagine if he contacted the imperial fleet and when the imperial commander said "it's just a diversion" Ackbar could've said "no...it's a trap"
And then suicide crash!
Holy shit. I can't believe I didn't notice that until just now, they used that bridge a LOT after it was already blown up...wtf...
AW MAN That would have been AWESOME. IT'S A TRAP! MWAHAHAHA *proceeds to hyperspace into destroyer.
Un-broken and victorious There was no agenda behind Holdo.
Matt D There were 2 bridges.
Goddamn, I miss Spaceballs SO BAD.
