I never noticed that Leia walked right by Chewbacca, to hug Rey. How ridiculous. She has literally known Chewy for like 40 years. He was her husbands best friend. One of her brothers best friends, and he was key figure in helping to save the galaxy and destroy the empire with her.
Maybe it wasnt the same Chewy, maybe it was Chewy's son that little runt from the holiday special all grown up. Which would explain why he still looked young in TFA. But.....then again, even if it was Chewy's son, Leia should still treat him like family, aaahh f*** it! What an absolute dumpster fire Disney SW is. There's no saving it, what so ever. The prequels really do look good by comparison, holy sh!t.
I guess one could try to justify it with the fact that, as Force Sensitives, Leia and Rey felt Han's death on a different level than everyone else... But Leia still should have gotten a hug from Chewbacca. That was stupid.
Joshua Benton I have no idea what’s wrong with Ryan, he’s making just faking simple mistakes film-maker students alone would make: -He completely scraped Jar Jar’s drafts on episodes 8-9, ‘probably explains the shagged potentials MauLer alluded to with all his “ ‘Can’t wait to get more on that” moments -He replaced Jar Jar, like we needed that change and like no-one thought it’d create a consistency problem through that trilogy; they already think it’d get bad press for the “evil white males” and the old fans, so why not keep it careful and keep the same vision from the same guy and make Ryan do a spin-off
....and his beloved wife Mara Jade Skywalker enters, teasing him a funny nerfherder for falling asleep in the meditation chamber again. (If that was the ending of Episode X, it would get a global standing O.)
I would’ve bought 3 tickets to the movie if it was a top tier adaptation of the Jedi Knight games, Kyle as the Main Man he always deserved to be. Any of Disney’s sins would’ve been forgiven...We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS close!
It's so ironic that they start the film with that guy saying, "This will begin to make things right" as a huge middle finger to Lucas and the prequels. But in the end, these movies just made everyone love Lucas and the prequels even more.
Jimb0 There’s stuff that could of been explained through correct character dialogue in TLJ. Unfortunately that never happens because RJ made the film purposely to prank the fan base while insulting said fan base all over Twitter. He’s a Bafoon
Jimb0 it’s definitely rian, JJ already had a script that prob would’ve had this, and when Rian took over, he literally TRASHED the script and used NOTHING from it. Rian made a Star Wars movie, that ISN’T a STAR WARS MOVIE, you get what im saying. Rian ruined it for me. For the exact reason why I DESPISE the last Jedi watch the critical drinker’s video the last Jedi, and the assassination of Luke Skywalker, it depicts exactly why it sucks.
Jimb0- it is hard to even imagine we are where we are now with this fucking story. If they would have had A PLAN for the films from the jump, and had all the OG characters all together at least one fucking time, with a better story, it would have been so much better. The Ruse of Soywalker was literally ridiculous.
Would have been a much better scene if the MF just at that moment decided to flame out and crash. Then Han could do the flippy switch thing and save them, then give Rey his Han Solo smirk. Much better consistency with the character of Han.
Dude, trigger warning. Being reminded of that scene literally triggers me. It's even worse than the avengers scene where the woman operating on Vision shows off how much smarter she is than Stark and Banon. The cringe was too much for me.
The originals were an awesome story with awesome delivery. The prequels were an awesome story with questionable delivery. The sequels were a death stick-fuelled nightmare
@Lionel Hutz the originals really aren't at a questionable stage. It's perfectly fine to put it at, we don't exist in their universe so we see a part of what's happening there, where would you want to start when it was the very beginning for star wars in the first place? It was set up really well to make sure it was as interesting as possible
The way George Lucas writes dialogue makes for terrible romantic writing, but other than that my only issue with the prequels is that they skipped the clone wars. Thank god for Dave Filoni.
@@Chugargonfan Ew, no. She's is just bland. And she's got this, like, thick sheen/glaze of sweat all over her face, in every scene, all the time. She's a desert-bound hermit, but her skin is gross, white and pasty? Like how does _that_ even work...they could have given her a few sessions at the tanning salon before shooting, and that certainly would have helped...but whatever
Queen Bitch KaNoMiko no. Could’ve been a good explanation, that or a melee weapon (maybe Han Solo would’ve picked up on that after seeing Luke using it with such benefits), but no.
you missed how the trooper who wiped his blood on finn's helmet was shot down by poe therefor finn was so shocked by the brutality of war, he freed the guy who killed his friend,
Imagine after episode 9 comes out we'll be saying, "Maybe Rian Johnson's new trilogy will explain that?" If I see any reviewer say that I'm officially done lmao.
Considering he has no problems shooting at his former comrades barely a couple hours later, I don't think Finn was really all that traumatized by his fellow trooper dying in his arms, or by the horrors of war. Really, he didn't give a damn about any of them. He just realized he could die from being stuck in this crowd, and decided to desert. Finn's a psychopath, nothing more, nothing less.
It could have worked if Finn struggled with guilt later on and found out somehow through captain phasma that Poe killed his friend or something, it could have made things more intense. I wanted Finn to be a Han Solo type, not like Poe, just a lone wolf that deserts and goes back and forth between sides because he doesn't really know who he is anyways.
Wow. Mary Sue characters never fail. In what attempt did Rey fail? None of them. Luke actually struggles. First of all, you are braindead. Rey has never flown one either, and she aces it the first time with besting TRAINED FO tie pilots. It is implied Luke can fly, as his friend says he is sure Luke can handle an X-wing. Very hard to get. For a non force user. Again, Luke said he made shots like this on his home planet. What did you say in your last couple of sentences? Do you know english? If you argue for Rey, you should have wrote: but unlike Luke, Rey blah blah blah.
Calm down buddy. What details have they included which shows how she is so fucking good? Tell me please, you just say they included them, but do not provide me with them. Show me, you clever man. Luke can fly an X-wing because it's similar to the T-16 which he has flown. Even YOU, you idiot could fire with a laser gun (if that was real). Luke fires it multiple times, and he misses a couple of times. Oh, you missed that detail also, at least now I know that you are also not a Mary Sue/Gary Stue either.
I was genuinely disappointed once I saw Kylo take his mask off when I first watched this movie. I was like oh this guy looks pretty cool and then he reveals his face and its like he looks like my roommate from college.
I figured that was why he wore the mask; No one would be intimidated by a handsome, young prettyboy, so he put the mask on to be taken seriously by both his enemies and subordinates. Which is why it was weird when he tossed the mask in TLJ.
I honestly liked Kylo's look. Not every evil character has to look intimidating, to be honest having one not look the part can add a ton of depth to a character. They just didn't fucking do his character right.
I liked that he took off his mask because he was definitely trying to find purpose living in Vader's shadow, and all that mask did was remind me he was a dollar store Vader with it. It was easier to take him seriously without it. That said, both TFA and TLJ had self-awareness about this shortcoming of his, which is one of the few things I liked about those films. Now, if we're talking about his teenage tantrums...I really wish I could unsee that first cringy scene.
That scene where leia walks past chewy to hug ray over han's death is the epitome of mary sue syndrome. A mary sue is inserted into an existing franchise and suddenly the world revolves around her and all the characters love her immediately for no reason. Both the villains and the good guys (which, incidentally does happen with her and kailo-ren too...)
LinkMarioSamus If she was male, she would be a Gary Stu. Get the fuck out of here with the sexist bullshit, there’s no androgynous label for a female self-insert character
I always hated Finn from the get go. How is it that his whole reason for defecting was his panic attack after seeing his comrade die in his arm, then 10 minutes later gleefully destroys the hangar full of other people he was conscripted with at such a young age? He's a terrible character.
And that also begs the question: If he's so weak-willed how was he able to break the storm trooper indoctrination in the first place? More bad writing from this joke of a trilogy.
He was always awful, but charisma is a very effective weapon so to speak. That character fooled many people, including me. In the sequel, hell, no amount of charisma can disguise that HORRIBLE character arc.
This was quite outrageous moment, so a character with long history, a friend with whom she spend years is sidelined to hug a complete stranger to her.... Rey? Leia should have been simply overjoyed to see Chewie alive especially after sensing through the Force Han's death, she would have actual emotional connection to Chewie to both this moment would have been sharing the grief for death of best friend and husband!!! Dammit. Chewie himself would be comforting her in pain they had years of shared history for goodness sake. Leia should have asked, who is this girl upon seeing her!
@@fantasywind3923 fucking exactly! She could’ve talked to Chewie, mourned with him and then said “who’s this girl?” to Chewie and then we get some sort of relationship between Leia and Rey developed.
@@zorn1745 nice to see someone agreeing with me, that mess only confirms that rey is simply Mary Sue character, and as we know in all amateur fanfiction mary sues are instantly liked by everyone in their presence for some unfathomable reason, ughh this was infuriating, hell Leia hugged Chewie in original trilogy after escaping imperial chase in joy simply after knowing Chewie for short time it's simple emotional reaction, and it would have been even more justified after decades of shared history. Them ignoring each other after HAN SOLO'S DEATH makes even less sense.
@SounDrazzRiton-kv7vg only real fans who have an understanding of how the characters they grew to love over the years, and an understanding of how they may react to certain hypothetical situations. Go away tourist.
Phasma was serious wasted potential. Makes me sad. You have before you Gwendolyn Christie, the very same actress as Brienne of Tarth. Who is one of the most moving female characters of this decade. And you squander that for a trash compactor reference. Disgraceful.
I can relate to a soldier following a regime's command... well, not relate, but I can put myself in her shoes. The dumb thing about that statement is that you can only ever relate to someone due to their actions and their character. That's all there is. Phasma is just such a non-entity that there is no way you can even define who she is. She is barely more than an extra. So she had to come up with something to say in that interview and went with the equivalent statement of "the sky is blue". A complete filler statement to mask that there is absolutely nothing going on with that character.
Arphemius I wouldn’t have wanted to relate to Phasma, personally. I think she should have been a more classic Disney villain, an imposing threat to all the characters. She can still be given human depth in other ways, such as giving her motivations and ambitions. But making her *relatable* to casual audiences runs a high risk of defanging her.
Honestly, that is not saying much When an installment says, "Click here to find out what this could mean," it's clickbait. I can't think of any film or series that requires the viewing of other installments to make it "Good." The only series that even comes close to "it'll be explained in the next film" is the Bourne trilogy, and even then you don't need to watch the others to appreciate each individual film as a film. They only become better as a whole because of minor moments that no one will notice unless you really pay attention to what each character says and how they affect the protagonist. The Force Awakens was a heaving pile of rancid refuse and The Last Jedi only spat on it
Really good point. With Star Wars Episodes 1 to 6, they stand up on their own with backstory and mysteries that are paid off and make logical sense. Maintain continuity etc. They tell one grand story. TFA was not meant to be Episode 1. It was Episode 7. And it didn't continue from ROTJ or explain anything. And well, the rest is history with TLJ too. To think they ditched Lucas' treatments which apparently continued the story for this is unbelievable. And I concur with your point on Bourne. You understood each film alone, they link together and progress the story. They don't just keep rehashing things and leave a string of unanswered questions. The ST is all about style, without story and substance and a constant tease.
@@RacinZilla003 Endgame. There you go. A film that cannot stand on its own but when watched after viewing previous entries (not all of them, of course; I didn't even see Thor: The Dark World before watching Endgame and I still understood what was going on) will be extremely satisfying.
Finn was such a wasted character. He was raised to fight, err he was raised to clean and maintain the facilities. They almost started off with him turning against violence, and it would have been an interesting if the character was struggling with trying to remain a pacifist/ peaceful later on. But literally minutes later, he was screaming "boo yeah" as he murders the men he grew up and lived along side with.
@@Daredhnu Right? But we don't need to question the ethics or motivations of the characters if they don't make sense, just stuff popcorn into your face while enjoying a 5 dollar fountain drink.
What pisses me off how she somehow knows more about a ship she just started flying than the man who's been flying it for years, a man who has done repairs and even made additions over time. I am not going to believe Rey knows more about the Falcon than Han motherfucking Solo
This is explained in the movie actually. HAN: Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line! REY: Unkar Plutt did. I thought it was a mistake too, puts too much stress on the hyperdrive. And during the escape, right before she removes the compressor. REY: Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump too -- if we don't prime that we're not going anywhere. HAN: I hate that guy. Han lost the Millennium Falcon years ago and didn't know about the modifications Unkar made with the help of Rey. It's one thing the movie does do right when it comes to Rey. It's just a few throw-away lines but it's enough.
@@awandererfromys1680 She shouldn't know that something puts too much stress on the hyper drive. She has never flown a ship. She should think whatever the ship is doing is exactly what it's supposed to do, she shouldn't have any idea or recognition about the previous performance of the ship before the compressor was used.
@@pascalsimioli6777 REY: I've flown some ships but I've never left the planet! Onscreen dialogue shortly after taking the Millennium Falcon. Onscreen dialogue also establishes she's not just a scavenger. She's a mechanic. And I expect any mechanic to know where a part does or does not belong. That's _mechanics._ Hate on Rey all you want but this particular bit of her character is no different from Luke knowing how to pilot an X-Wing and engage in fullblown battle while he had never left the planet before either. All he knew was bullseyeing womprats from his T-16. Or Anakin building his own protocol droid from scrap. It seems that Force-sensitivity gives SW main characters a particular secondary skill set.
@@awandererfromys1680 nonsensical point. She is never established to be a mechanic, just a scavenger. She scavenges old parts from a star destroyer which is completely different than a ship. Shits like comparing a semi to a bike. Fundamentally similar but not similar. I know this bc I actually work on cars but hey. U know mechanics right. Also complete straw man, they argued it’s stupid that she knows more about it than it’s owner/ expert of it. Just nonsensical
I think it would be harder to push yourself while in outer space, dealing with the pressure, lack of oxygen and everything else would be harder than in a place WITH gravity.
Star Wars 7: The worse Ripoff, bigger is better! Star Wars 8: You think you know Star Wars? Ha! Lol! Star Wars 9: Oh damn... P-please forget about 8 I-I can fix this! Uhm... GIANT LIGHTNING!!! EVEN BIGGER IS EVEN BETTER!!! PLEASE STAY! IT'S GOOD!
I don't know how Leia walking past Chewy isn't receiving the criticism it deserves. Honestly that is one of the most out of touch things if not THE most out of touch scene in the entire fucking sequel and perfectly illustrates a complete lack of understanding regarding who these characters are and what they are all about. I legit can't even really believe that scene. IT's fucking insane.
@@TheStapleGunKid which is explained, in the film when he says "I went back to doing the only thing I was ever good at" after the pain of losing his son to the Snoke. all through the original trilogy the hero thing was an uncomfortable jacket for him.
Still pretty dumb, though. When last we saw him he was a General leading the rebels to victory. Now he's back to smuggling? Come on, that would be like George Patton resigning his commission to go make a living as a petty shop-lifter.
Or she could: - just not do it because she is in high-command for a fanatical organization! - instead of deactivating the shields, idk, ALARMING THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET! - kill them all because there is literally no reason given why she couldn’t as she is still inside the most advanced armor the first order has
I was a 12R Interior Electrician in the Army, I was the one that stayed behind alot and did tasks along the lines of my skill and typical duties like cleaning and loading magazines and such. But sometimes I would be tasked to travel with the commanding officers on special tasks because of trust. I never had any issues similar to Finn. But if my officers decided to go rob a McDonalds bet I wouldn't be a part of that.
@@KAXGaming hahahaha I want that to be a news story now "military officer robs McDonald's with full support team" just a tactical robbery of a McDonald's
Personally prefer Padme and Paige Tico. I really can't believe the ST went down this disjointed illogical storyline which makes no sense without any backstory and poor new characters etc. I couldn't stop laughing at "Because she's Rey." Never gets old since it's true. And not to mention the "Can't wait to get more on that!"
16:26 "Stop you ridiculous talented yet boring angelic creature. Your characteristics are as bland as your fucking clothing" I don't know why but I love that line.
"Episode 9 will be directed by the same guy, so everything will make sense then, you'll see!" Yes, because Abrams has a great trackrecord when it comes to providing satisfying answers and wraping up stories. Endings are his forte. You didn't use the Sue label once and still got your point about Rey across. I love you, man.
You left the part that he insulted the 80% of the Star Wars Fandom,, along side Kathleen Kennedy and Simon Pegg, Prequels Fans, Expanded Universe fans, Games fans, by calling them unworthy of being Star Wars fans because they weren't Original Star Wars fans. After that news was spread is was only a matter of time that the resentment against Disney and Kathleen Kennedy grow. Why you think that most Star Wars fans (discounting the Original Star Wars fans) are divorcing themselves for the movies, because all what Disney cares about is pander towards the Original Star Wars fans, everyone else is excluded of their special club.
C3P0 in episode 5 discover the problem of the Milenium Falcon before Solo. He's a pilot,not a mecanic. It isn't imposible to know more mecanic than him.
@@A.D.V.I. Yes but Han has been repairing the ship together with Chewie all the time (as seen in many scenes in Empire Strikes Back), it took some time to find the problem though and so C3PO communicating with the board computer allowed him to find that crucial malfunction, it still makes little sense especially after 30 years Han at this point would have the ship for many, many decades even longer than 30 years since original trilogy :), still this is just another callback to the original, the Force Awakens was already unimaginative reboot of the New Hope but without the soul of the original.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 she's actually dismantling stuff from a crashed imperial stardestroyer, she is a scavenger, scrapper (at best she would be familiar with imperial tech, since she is seen interacting with various non-functioning pieces of imperial military hardware) she would be most of the time salvaging raw valuable materials and some usable parts from wreckage.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 She wasn't fixing parts in that scene, she was cleaning the parts to make them more presentable for selling which is why she was using a brush. Fixing BB-8's antenna was something that did not even need any tech skill as it merely got bent, literally anyone that cared could fix it. Furthermore the Millennium Falcon is a Corellian YT-1300 Freighter that was heavily customized, it is not military tech. Rey in the movie was never shown or implied to know how to fly, and even responded when asked immediately afterwards with "I don't know!" This was a non-issue for Luke as he was established early on that he has been learning and practicing flying and wanted to get into the Academy to improve further, nor was it an issue for Han as it was implied (and even in Legends Han was ex-imperial navy) based on his smuggler background. After the movie they tried to patch things up by trying to say that Rey trained in a derelict Star Destroyer's simulator room, which would be sideways and it's a stretch that it could be powered to begin with with how destroyed those ships were.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 When it came to BB-8 she literally yanked the bent antenna out of its socket and bent it to be straight again before putting it back in. That is not tech savvy, that is something anyone, even children, can do. Her speeder also does not show any tech savvyness just by her owning it, nor are we ever shown her working on it. Its even implied by the force vision that she was left in Unkar Plutt's care or as a slave. The speeder could have very well belonged to him and it was out on loan to her. And the novels function is to attempt to fix the numerous problems with the character. It is where they literally had her download matrix style Kylo's training in the middle of him trying to (and failing horribly) torture her so that she could pull off the Jedi mind tricks needed to escape because Jj Abrams simply could not just wait for her to be rescued by Han and Finn.
Even Luke Skywalker who spent his teenage years flying T-16s and doing all kinds of crazy shit ended up terribly average the first time he was put into a starfighter. He hit a lucky shot ("one in a million") but other than that he really didn't do much. Somehow, Rey is able to fly the Millenium Falcon which I can only assume is 100x harder to pilot than an X-Wing and she's doing stuff Han Solo (a great pilot) couldn't do. And worse, she "doesn't know" how she was able to do it. All the sequel movies were terrible. This was just the least terrible one.
Also the controls on the T-16 speeder are identical to those of the T-65 x-wing by design, so pilots can move from one to the other easily. Rey just pulls skills out of her ass. Superior piloting skills - pluck Speaks wookie - pluck Marksman with a blaster - pluck Incredible force skills - pluck Luke had to train and fight for all accomplishments
Really? I don't find him menacing, and the character is terribly written, but he himself is not hilarious or ugly. Poor Adam have to deal with the consequences of what lousy writers did with his character
@@Boyzby Agreed. But that is the way they wanted to portray him I guess. Don't forget, he is a white, straight(or so looks like) man. Unforgivable sin nowadays
He just looks like a big crybaby, with no control for emotions. He annoys the shit out of me, i dislike the new movies Vader was a tyrant, but a lot of it was controlled.
All well, this movie was a bit of a bummer. But guys, I am positive that The Last Jedi will be incredible! We have Rey's parentage to look forward to, we will find out who Snoke is, maybe we will find out more about Finn's life as a Stormtrooper, Rey will be trained and we can see what the limits of her power are, maybe she will turn to the dark side, and oh wow, Luke is back! Can't wait to see what they do with Luke, and why he went to that island, and how he reacts to the death of Han Solo, and how he affects the story! Who else is looking forward to RIAN JOHNSON's The Last Jedi? So much opportunity from TFA for Rian to work with! Yep. So much.
Eric Santucci You. I like you. You condensed down appologetics and blind fandom arguments for months down into a couple digestible paragraphs. These appologetics caused a pain of which I spent bottles of alcohol and Excedrin trying to contain the pain of the stupid flowing forth and invading my brain, like a made up force power in a certain movie... /slow clap
I actually like what he did with Snoke and Rey's parents, and I understand why he did what he did. Mostly because J.J. Abrams left him nothing to work with.
The “Can’t wait to get more on that” line makes me chuckle every time it’s used. Years later and it’s still hilariously disappointing to see what potential Disney had but how horribly they botched these characters, storylines and themes.
@@destroysgaming3995 In the ST defender's mind, this plot would be totally okay - "30 years after Harry Potter defeated the hated and feared Lord Voldemort...." - Harry Potter has gone missing. His friend Neville Longbottom has sent his best member of the Order of the Eagle to retrieve a map to his location from an old ally. Cho Chang has been taken hostage and a ransom has been demanded from Harry Potter, the legendary wizard who defeated the dark lord years ago. Only with his help can Neville and his brave Eagles defeat the evil Life Feeders..." Hermione Granger has turned into a drunk witch who never uses magic and doesn't want to. Harry Potter has received the Owl about Cho's situation, but doesn't want to help and wants to be left alone. A young Muggle who has never heard of magic, randomly stumbles upon the Owl trying to deliver the message of Harry's location to Neville. Having never been to Hogwarts, the young muggle finds the broom of Harry Potter, his Firebolt, in the back of an antique shop, just as he/she randomly encounters Hagrid who tells her "magic is all true." Hermione is now a smuggler who works with Hagrid smuggling illegal dragon and dangerous materials across the magical world. When Hagrid asks the antique shop owner how he came across the broom, the response is "That's a story for another time." The muggle, who has never been trained in magic, nor heard of it, then runs into a dark robed Life Eater called "Wuhaca". Wuhuca is known to have been a former Head Boy at Hogwarts, captain of the Quidditch Team for Grynfindor and one of Harry Potter's greatest Auror apprentices. He is even said to have been the son of legendary Minister for Magic Hermione Granger. Wuhaca offers the young muggle the chance to serve alongside him and his Master, Lord Incognita. The young muggle outflies Wuhaca and his own wand flies into the Muggle's hand. He is bested with a scar across his face and at the last moment a great chasm opens up in the middle of the London street on which they were duelling. The Cauldron of Doom meanwhile is launching its fire potion beam from the hidden village of New Hogsmeade, somewhere in the south of France. It destroys the Ministry for Magic in one fell swoop. In the ensuing chaos, only Neville's Eagles who amount to a mere 12 wizards and witches remain. They fly their brooms against an onslaught of 900 Life Eaters, but somehow one reckless Eagle manages to break through and fire a reversing spell on the Cauldron which implodes and takes out the entire Life Eater base and 80% of their followers. Lord Incognita tells the deputy Life Eater to bring Wuhaca back to him for further training and to continue to Crucify Cho Chang to draw out Harry Potter. Neville encounters the young Muggle and Hagrid and even Hermione who came out of hiding at the last moment. Neville hugs the Muggle ignoring Hermione and Hagrid. He then plugs in the hidden map of Harry's location into the Marauder's map which points to Harry being on Privet Drive. Hermione stays behind, as does Neville and Hagrid. The random Muggle now dons Harry's broom as her own and goes to Privet Drive where she finds a fat Harry sitting on his balcony. He/she asks Harry for his help to save Cho Chang and Harry Potter takes his broom, throws it into the rubbish bin across the street and tells her to get off his lawn. The credits roll and the movie, like The Force Awakens, is given thunderous applause
@@UnfunnyFigs the prequels dialogues are a gold mine of memes! I don't care if they're a little cringe, they are so over the top and memorable that almost every phrase is a meme by now
prequels writing was great and dialogue was good except Anakin when he is with Padme. Hes unbearably cringy. Like 12 year old seeing female for the first time. Other than that, its fucking obliterating sequels.
The force awakens: Lets have a shield around the ENTIRE planet. Rise of sky walker: Lol nah, can't activate shields in atmosphere of a planet. This is all fucked
TheWet Baguette The Retconn of Skywalker tbh shouldn’t be taken seriously, let’s just piss on its corpse and grave if anyone bothers to dig it and abandon it
Not to mention that the entire first act of "The Empire Strikes Back" revolved around the Empire attacking a shielded target on the surface of a planet.
It's even worse considering BOTH of those films were directed by JJ. The man can't even keep track of his own continuity. I mean our expectations of you were low JJ, but holy shit.
@@jacksimpson8529 Wouldn't the "no shields below atmosphere" thing only apply to Exegol though, with the awful conditions and constant lightning? In The Rise of Skywalker itself, when they're being chased in the desert by stormtroopers, their speeders DO have shields. I can buy that JJ forgot what he did in the previous movie, but in the very same one an hour earlier? I'm not sure that's even possible. But then, the star destroyers at the end supposedly can't tell which way is up, and yet there's like a thousand of them in the sky and they all face the correct way, so maybe the writing is really that lazy and incompetent. Fuck this trilogy either way.
I love how the Millenium Falcon just sits there for years untouched in a camp where everything not nailed down is literally torn apart by filthy scavengers (like Rey) and sold as parts or something. Can't wait to hear more about that.
Wasn't it "owned"(stolen)by the guy that hands out the food. Don't bite the hand that feeds and all that.... Only thing i can think of as to why it wasn't ripped apart and sold.
"We then see baby Tarkin and Kylo develop sexual tension over who is going to find the soccer ball." LMAO! I love your videos MauLer. Disney Wars doesn't exist to me... this bullshit is not cannon. I'll stick to the original 6 movies and EU.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 Sorry canon don't mean shit anymore. When your movies make such blatant contradictions to the story and character arcs of the previous instalments to this degree using the ''it's canon deal with it'' sorry to tell you is no longer a valid argument (not that it was much of one to begin with anyway). Also George was assured that Disney would be using his story treatments he presented to them, but instead they threw them out entirely to make this fan-fiction level trash nonsense. He's gone over this himself in many interviews, including the infamous ''white slavers'' one.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 It's fiction. The people who ultimately decide what's canon are fans. And since Disney is now trying to distance themselves from Kennedy's version of SW (all the new Disney+ series focus around the OT, the SW Day poster blatantly ignored all the characters from the ST but included everyone else, and that Luke Skywalker cameo in Mando...yeah, KK didn't know about it, and she was PISSED), we can start ignoring this monkey turd of a trilogy.
The more I think about these last two films, I'm more and more disappointed, it was such a wasted opportunity, how did they mess up such an incredible opportunity of having Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and of course Mark Hamill reprising their roles? It was the chance of the lifetime! If Disney wanted money, why they didn't tough about making this new trilogy focusing on how was formed the First Order?, I'm even thinking about the opening credits starting with something like "It's been 40 years of peace in the galaxy but deep in the galaxy the dark side has reborn or I don't know something like that", but the way they started in the Force Awakens, making everything again just like the beginning of A New Hope, means that everything our heroes did in Return of the Jedi was completely useless, nothing changed....the First Order is just the Empire with a different name. The concept of Luke in exile was ridiculous from the beginning, the idea of Ben Solo as the main villain is horrible. I mean, the love of Han and Leia and the guidance of Luke, ended up creating that monster? So technically our heroes saved the galaxy before, but now they are destroying it? Such a wonderful last scenes in Return of The Jedi and now at the beginning of the FA they look totally meaningless. They could have kept Luke alive the whole trilogy, training Ray in a big part of it, other old characters of the past like Admiral Ackbar, Chewbacca, R2, C3PO could have been of more importance, and then by the end of the trilogy Rey and the others could have been fully in charge and the episodes 10-12 based 100% in the new characters. Now we have this mess, so probably, in episode 9 the Almighty Rey is gonna be a Jedi Master (without any training) and she will be training a young generation of Jedi....ugh. Sorry if I did some mistakes, English is not my first language.
It’s been revealed that Lea was going to die in 9. The plan was literally to have each episode primarily focus on one of the three, then kill them off at the end of that episode.
Finn: "Oh, they hate that ship!!!" *The First Order doesn't immediately see the Millennium Falcon parked, and that the suspects are running towards it* I suppose it's my fault, if I wanted consistency, I wouldn't be watching a Star Wars sequel.
I mean, why didn't he Millennium Falcon became some sort of a legendary symbol over years? After all, it was the ship that helped in the destruction of two motherfurcking Death Stars and other impressive stuff. I mean, I know that the Falcon is not the only YT-1300 model, but wouldn't the First Order hate the ship series with a passion? They shouldn't train their troops to destroy any kind of symbol that makes them remaind them of the biggest defeats the old Empire ever suffer? I'm not asking these new movies to have a lore with same level as Tokien's legendarium, but this is a sequel from a couple of trilogies with a story behind them, be more consistent.
Yavinus That's kind of my point. What Finn says implies the FO in TLJ hate it with passion for what it's crew did to the Empire, but it seems to have no real relevance to them in TFA. Yet another aspect in which the stories of these movies are utterly divorced from one another, never mind the Star Wars universe.
I always found it laughably sad that the Millennium Falcon is supposedly the most infamous ship in the galaxy , yet no one knows what it looks like in The Force Awakens.
Hey everybody, I have been busy looking into good ol' Force Awakens and this is the run up to a longer set of videos I am preparing, I hope you enjoy the perspective and stay tuned for the critique series to follow up! Oh and we have a Star Wars themed Discord under construction, if you would like to check it out, it's an easy way to contact me :) - discord.gg/6aYYVKk
Yes! Tear it a new one! When I was astounded at how bad TFA was, all the normies hated me for pointing out a zillion moronic details about this trash. Not until the Last Jedi pissed all of them off was I vindicated, but some of them still say TFA was good. So, please, go ahead and do this! LET THE MAULING BEGIN!
Thank you so much for making these, it’s so great having an easily accessible place from which to point out the legitimate criticism for the sequel films since a lot of the Internet seems to think the only complaints are “too many fan theories” or whatever the current groupthink is.
We survived the prequels, I'm sure we'll survive the new trilogy. The real test - both for the fanbase and the creators - will be the next Star Wars movies. Because unlike the prequels after RotS, they won't stop coming...
"She sells some junk, and pretends to be part of a better film." I had to pause the video, because I was laughing so hard. I think you just summed up the entire sequel dickery in one sentence. And referring to BB-8 as a different type of ball every single time is absolutely fantastic. 3 ball descriptions in, and I started looking forward to it. :D
That actually is a perfect summation to the entire new trilogy in a really meta commentary sort of way. They exist so Disney can sell some junk while pretending their films are better versions of the originals.
In the empire strikes back what does leia do when han gets dropped into the carbonite? She hugs the wookie, the second she looses han she goes to the wookie, why would she ignore the damn walking carpet this time?
Bryon Lape Leia hugged Luke because it would’ve made zero sense to hug Han or Chewie, they weren’t close to Obi wan and Luke screamed “no” when he died and alerted the stormtroopers and we see Han and Chewie make fun of Obi Wan earlier in the movie
Heuch Gack and she had to survive on a desert planet so she can totally beat a sith trained by both Luke skywalker and a totally important character who will have a Huge impact in the trilogy.........also she can swim
Z Ten oh yeah she can swim like a fucking champ even though it was the first time she ever tried......but she’s not a Mary Sue though though that’s ridiculous
Nope, I can't buy it. Not after we've seen that the wound doesn't really impact him much in his fight against Finn. Oh, also, did we mentioned that Ben was trained by two masters, one a Jedi master the other a Sith, I guess.
I appreciate there’s a lot more going on here but thank you for pointing out that Rey shoots a storm trooper with a pistol when the trooper missed with a rifle. 24:30-24:40. Anyone who has shot a pistol quickly appreciates how much more difficult it is to hit something with a pistol at a specific range than with a rifle (though not saying easy with a rifle, just easier).
Chan Thorpe I think I saw a couple of other videos and in the comics of force awakens it shows finn and his squad mates seem to be less intense but yeah I do remember them being trained to ignore the dying
Have you noticed everything that falls down a shaft comes back. Darth Maul: Chopped in half, fell down shaft and came back. Luke: Jumps down shaft and comes back. Lukes lightsaber: Falls down shaft and comes back Palpatine: Yeeted down shaft and is coming back in the next movie. Just waiting on Obi-Wans first lightsaber and Lukes rotten hand.
But the thing is the whole “force explosion” or whatever you call it happened, and the Death Star exploded, how does the emperor possibly make it back?
I can still remember trying to talk my brother into coming with me to see TLJ with me. He said 'I thought you didn't like the last one?' To which I replied 'Come one! There's no way it could be worse than Force Awakens!' God I miss my innocence....
I must be in the minority, me and my friends actually liked TLJ more than TFA. At least it was _mostly_ trying to be its own thing and not plagiarize A New Hope all the time like TFA was.
I think TLJ is definitely worse than the Force Awakens. It failed on at least 3 separate levels, as a Star Wars movie (that takes place within the larger context of the Star Wars mythos), as a sequal to the Force Awakens (so within the context of the inferior, Disney Star Wars mythos) and as a standalone movie in itself (owing to its numerous plot holes, amateur writing, bad characterisation, terrible world-building etc.). For all the Force Awakens flaws, one could argue that since it's a launching pad for the new universe Disney are hoping to build, it sets the pace for the rest of the trilogy. It sets the rules/context for the rest of the trilogy, so it can't really fail on that level, whilst TLJ very much can and did.
I dunno, if TFA is a bad start to the sequel trilogy I don't think failing as a sequel to it is that bad a thing. Then again, I don't really get why it fails as a sequel, or why its quality as a standalone movie should matter when by definition it can't be one. I mean, I have my problems with TLJ but not for the reasons most people complain about, and despite the fact that I've thought too much about it, I still like it more than TFA. It actually interests me, while in retrospect TFA doesn't get anything more than a "meh" reaction. There are scenes I genuinely like in TLJ, while everything in TLA is basically a plagiarism of A New Hope, written by someone who didn't understand why the original Star Wars was good.
Rey's character feels like when you have a jealous new friend that starts inserting themselves into you and your friends' inside jokes and demanding that treasured old photos be recreated with them in the middle.
That is an absolutely brilliant description! This type of “friend’s“ next move will be to start hanging out with your friends and deliberately excluding you pretending it was an oversight or they couldn’t get a hold of you.
As much as hate as the prequels get, compared to the sequels they have infinitely more heart and actually give a huge net gain on the star wars universe. The sequels just cause more confusion and upsets everything the original trilogy was about
I disagree on both counts, they didn’t seem to have a lot of heart and most certainly were rather negative for Star Wars considering their reaction was what shaped this trilogy, regardless the prequels kick the shit out of this trilogy since it was a serious effort that wanted to tell a good story, just didn’t know how it seemed
Prequels: Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Qui-Gon, Shaak Ti, Ki Adi Mundi, General Grievous, more Wookies, Yaddle, very good jedi/sith fights, pod racing, etc. Disney Star wars: purple-haired Holdo, incompetent Hux, comedy relief, janitor Finn, MaRey Sue, Poe, sea cows with green milk, insignificant orange yoda, stupid porgs, cattle prods the stormtroopers use against lightsabers, useless captain phasma, and other similar lame and forgettable characters....
I think the writing is the prequels was not good, but at least Lucas made an attempt to tell a real story. The Disney trilogy is just . . . awful. None of the Disney characters progress. Finn especially goes nowhere and I think the life of a former stormtrooper could have been incredible.
Full name: *Solo, Han* Father of: *Solo, Ben* AKA *Kylo Ren* His son is: *Solo Kylo Ben Ren* Solo, Han Solo is Ren Ken Bylo Hen's *father* *M I L L E N I U M F O L Ç O N*
What kills me is that Storm trooper armor had environmental protection and yet Finn takes it off in the middle of the desert and this action almost kills him. Lucky he found the town nearby! Why did the sequels regress technologically over 30 years? Original Storm Troopers=Chad's! Lol
I've become a bigger fan of hollyweird CRITICS than the stories that the industry churns out, like so much processed food for cattle. You DO realize that is how, we the masses, are viewed by these people, right? Cattle. Live stock. Beasts of burden. Taxable assets. Consumers. Am I the only one that gets that? I hope not. Heh, hope. We will never get a new one of those again, will we?
And many people thought the problems with Disney Star Wars started in The Last Jedi. I almost walked out of the theatre when Leia hugged Rey instead of Chewie....I should have....the rest of the movie made no difference.
I almost couldn't believe how many people defend this piece of shit but act like The Last Jedi is the problem. Fucking fanboys/fangirls are the most delusional people on this planet.
I wanted this movie to be great. I think a lot of people did and that is why there is such a big gap in fanbase. Sadly i have realized that TFA is a bad Star Wars movie.
Star Wars - Episode 7: A GoOd StOrY fOr AnOHer TiMe Star Wars - Episode 8: LOLz no, "Subversion" Star Wars - Episode 9: On-Screen Diarrhea - A Retrospective
Funny how everyone loved this movie when it first came out and the crowd is finally waking up to the stupidity of the movie. Thanks to all those calling out the movie for the lack of vision and incoherence.
I hated it as soon as I finished watching it and came out of the cinema. The first thing that I thought was "why have I just wasted my money on a film I already own?" as it was literally a copy n paste of A New Hope, if I wanted to watch ANH then all I would have to do is walk across my room get the DVD, remove the disc from the case and put it into my laptop and voila! all in less than 2 mins I could watch it without having to spend money on a ticket and on petrol. Then again expecting originality from Jar Jar Abrams is like expecting Krazy Kathleen Kennedy to not force her feminazi agenda into the next SW movie; it aint gonna happen.
God that was annoying. I couldn't believe this shitfest from the 1st time I watched it. This vid excellently explains why the foundation of the trilogy is a pile of boring ridiculous shit. Disney does not know what the fuck they are doing. I'm amazed someone watched this before it was released and thought people, even kids, would not rip it to fucking shreds.
it did take me a week or two to realize how shitty it was. I think it was during my second viewing I realized it. the nostalgia was a bit of a blinder at first.
Caboose things come down to if what a man does matters to himself. Are his dignity and beliefs for sale. At the end of the day you can say Disney Star Wars can't have me. Not my time and money cocksuckers!
In the Expanded Universe, Luke's hand and lightsaber were found by the Empire at Cloud City after his & Vader's duel. The Emperor ordered it taken to a private storage facility on a hidden planet and preserved for future use. Why Abrams etc couldn't have lifted that and said that the saber was stolen from an Imperial facility and traded hands in the black market until Maz Kanata got it or something I'll never understand.
I'f I'm totally honest, there is a part of me, that secretely hopes that Disney releases more crap Star Wars movies so I can have at least 10x the enjonyment of watching MauLer commenting about it because thats the status quo. I love you, MauLer!
I don't get how Chewie didn't die fighting to get to Han...imagine seeing a Wookie go all out to get to his life-debt / life-bond partner...imagine an orchestral piece called "The Death of Chewbacca." I guess they didn't do that b/c Chewie had an important part to play in Ep VIII...wait...
I've never been a Star Wars girl. I never cared too much, or put my time and effort in to watching the series, but it was still a part of my life. Sitting in my pjs on the living room floor while my family sat around and watched the originals, seeing Luke Skywalker on screen and thinking he was cute, it was still my childhood and I loved that. I was excited for the new movie, so I went to see it with my mom, who was also never a huge Star Wars fan, but still cared to some extent. We were literally giggling in the theater. We were laughing with each other and whispering like school girls about how silly the film was and how none of it made sense. I've known ever since I walked out of the cinema that night that I didn't like the movie, and have argued against countless people over how bad it was. Not having seen the movies in a few years (because I can't force myself to watch it) I can only remember a few key things that I disliked about this film, but watching this video was like going back in time- remembering all I hated about it and things I had questioned as well. I have a particular friend I can't wait to send this video to, just so I can finally drop the mic on all our arguments over this movie.
12:37: "Why is Han Solo barely remembered by anyone after only thirty years of saving the entire galaxy" Man You really missed an amazing opportunity there. The last time Han Solo was on the silver screen was during Return of the Jedi which debuted in 1983, which was 32 years old when The Force Awakens came out in 2015. Han Solo had been a historical figure longer in REAL LIFE than he had been in the star wars universe.
What makes it so funny to me is that it's so true. Rian basically threw out JJ's scripts for VIII and IX and basically made his own standalone movie disregarding everything that has come before.
Your editing and jokes are perfect, specially the Rey jokes like she pretended to be in a better movie or when she telepathically communicates with the writers
![ร้อยพ่อพันแม่ - WanMai [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XY2pNYASEbg/mqdefault.jpg)
I never noticed that Leia walked right by Chewbacca, to hug Rey. How ridiculous.
She has literally known Chewy for like 40 years. He was her husbands best friend. One of her brothers best friends, and he was key figure in helping to save the galaxy and destroy the empire with her.
Maybe it wasnt the same Chewy, maybe it was Chewy's son that little runt from the holiday special all grown up. Which would explain why he still looked young in TFA.
But.....then again, even if it was Chewy's son, Leia should still treat him like family, aaahh f*** it! What an absolute dumpster fire Disney SW is. There's no saving it, what so ever. The prequels really do look good by comparison, holy sh!t.
As Mauler points out, she doesn't even know that Rey knows Han.
But you gotta emotionally validate Mary Sue.
no. you need to weed them out
I guess one could try to justify it with the fact that, as Force Sensitives, Leia and Rey felt Han's death on a different level than everyone else...
But Leia still should have gotten a hug from Chewbacca. That was stupid.
Han: "how did you do that? "
Rey: "i bypassed the logic"
Killiaka Kinnet lmfao thanks for the laugh.
Q: "How did you do that?"
A: "The writers like me more than you."

I have no idea what’s wrong with Ryan, he’s making just faking simple mistakes film-maker students alone would make:
-He completely scraped Jar Jar’s drafts on episodes 8-9, ‘probably explains the shagged potentials MauLer alluded to with all his “ ‘Can’t wait to get more on that” moments
-He replaced Jar Jar, like we needed that change and like no-one thought it’d create a consistency problem through that trilogy; they already think it’d get bad press for the “evil white males” and the old fans, so why not keep it careful and keep the same vision from the same guy and make Ryan do a spin-off

Why?
fuzzygreenturtle _ because RJ messed up this trilogy badly
Jimb0 There’s stuff that could of been explained through correct character dialogue in TLJ. Unfortunately that never happens because RJ made the film purposely to prank the fan base while insulting said fan base all over Twitter. He’s a Bafoon
Jimb0 it’s definitely rian, JJ already had a script that prob would’ve had this, and when Rian took over, he literally TRASHED the script and used NOTHING from it. Rian made a Star Wars movie, that ISN’T a STAR WARS MOVIE, you get what im saying. Rian ruined it for me. For the exact reason why I DESPISE the last Jedi watch the critical drinker’s video the last Jedi, and the assassination of Luke Skywalker, it depicts exactly why it sucks.
Jimb0- it is hard to even imagine we are where we are now with this fucking story. If they would have had A PLAN for the films from the jump, and had all the OG characters all together at least one fucking time, with a better story, it would have been so much better. The Ruse of Soywalker was literally ridiculous.

The originals were an awesome story with awesome delivery.
The prequels were an awesome story with questionable delivery.
The sequels were a death stick-fuelled nightmare
Exactly.
@Lionel Hutz the originals really aren't at a questionable stage. It's perfectly fine to put it at, we don't exist in their universe so we see a part of what's happening there, where would you want to start when it was the very beginning for star wars in the first place? It was set up really well to make sure it was as interesting as possible
The way George Lucas writes dialogue makes for terrible romantic writing, but other than that my only issue with the prequels is that they skipped the clone wars. Thank god for Dave Filoni.

Well being optimist and confident must count for something. LOL
you missed how the trooper who wiped his blood on finn's helmet was shot down by poe
therefor finn was so shocked by the brutality of war, he freed the guy who killed his friend,
Kék Dragnal And then to make matters worse, Finn shoots his own troopers who he was RAISED WITH.
Maybe episode 9 will clear that up? 😂😂😂
Imagine after episode 9 comes out we'll be saying, "Maybe Rian Johnson's new trilogy will explain that?" If I see any reviewer say that I'm officially done lmao.
Considering he has no problems shooting at his former comrades barely a couple hours later, I don't think Finn was really all that traumatized by his fellow trooper dying in his arms, or by the horrors of war. Really, he didn't give a damn about any of them. He just realized he could die from being stuck in this crowd, and decided to desert. Finn's a psychopath, nothing more, nothing less.
It could have worked if Finn struggled with guilt later on and found out somehow through captain phasma that Poe killed his friend or something, it could have made things more intense. I wanted Finn to be a Han Solo type, not like Poe, just a lone wolf that deserts and goes back and forth between sides because he doesn't really know who he is anyways.
Rey is a way far more a Mary-Sue than the original Mary-Sue, the whole genre of Mary-Sue Characters should be renamed in "Rey Characters".

'Because she's Rey' might as well be the tagline of the Sequel Trilogy.
If they made Rey turn evil, I would actually find her interesting.
What are you on about? Luke actually FAILED. Obi-Wan had to rescue him from the sandpeople, and also in the cantina. Sorry, but you are an idiot.
Wow. Mary Sue characters never fail. In what attempt did Rey fail? None of them. Luke actually struggles.
First of all, you are braindead.
Rey has never flown one either, and she aces it the first time with besting TRAINED FO tie pilots. It is implied Luke can fly, as his friend says he is sure Luke can handle an X-wing.
Very hard to get. For a non force user. Again, Luke said he made shots like this on his home planet.
What did you say in your last couple of sentences? Do you know english? If you argue for Rey, you should have wrote: but unlike Luke, Rey blah blah blah.
Calm down buddy.
What details have they included which shows how she is so fucking good? Tell me please, you just say they included them, but do not provide me with them. Show me, you clever man.
Luke can fly an X-wing because it's similar to the T-16 which he has flown.
Even YOU, you idiot could fire with a laser gun (if that was real). Luke fires it multiple times, and he misses a couple of times. Oh, you missed that detail also, at least now I know that you are also not a Mary Sue/Gary Stue either.
Yeah pretty much, I'll always enjoy the OT though that's for sure
I was genuinely disappointed once I saw Kylo take his mask off when I first watched this movie. I was like oh this guy looks pretty cool and then he reveals his face and its like he looks like my roommate from college.
😂
I figured that was why he wore the mask; No one would be intimidated by a handsome, young prettyboy, so he put the mask on to be taken seriously by both his enemies and subordinates.
Which is why it was weird when he tossed the mask in TLJ.
I honestly liked Kylo's look. Not every evil character has to look intimidating, to be honest having one not look the part can add a ton of depth to a character.
They just didn't fucking do his character right.
@@spikem5950 I agree
I liked that he took off his mask because he was definitely trying to find purpose living in Vader's shadow, and all that mask did was remind me he was a dollar store Vader with it. It was easier to take him seriously without it. That said, both TFA and TLJ had self-awareness about this shortcoming of his, which is one of the few things I liked about those films.
Now, if we're talking about his teenage tantrums...I really wish I could unsee that first cringy scene.
That scene where leia walks past chewy to hug ray over han's death is the epitome of mary sue syndrome. A mary sue is inserted into an existing franchise and suddenly the world revolves around her and all the characters love her immediately for no reason. Both the villains and the good guys (which, incidentally does happen with her and kailo-ren too...)
And Rey lol
Answer me this: would it be less bad somehow if Rey was male? If you answer yes, you are sexist.
LinkMarioSamus If she was male, she would be a Gary Stu. Get the fuck out of here with the sexist bullshit, there’s no androgynous label for a female self-insert character
LinkMarioSamus no it wouldn’t be less bad. I’m ready for your next question as long as it isn’t as bad as your last one.
it’s like a new stormtrooper getting promoted to admiral in a week.
I always hated Finn from the get go. How is it that his whole reason for defecting was his panic attack after seeing his comrade die in his arm, then 10 minutes later gleefully destroys the hangar full of other people he was conscripted with at such a young age? He's a terrible character.
Oatmeal Guy And laughing about it while saying fucking awful and cringy lines with Poe.
And that also begs the question:
If he's so weak-willed how was he able to break the storm trooper indoctrination in the first place?
More bad writing from this joke of a trilogy.
Oatmeal Guy Yes!
He was always awful, but charisma is a very effective weapon so to speak. That character fooled many people, including me. In the sequel, hell, no amount of charisma can disguise that HORRIBLE character arc.
Damn near every scene he was in it looked like he was having a panic attack. Fuck, I hate this movie.
I didn't even notice Leia walk right passed Chewie to go to Rey in that scene... WHAT THE HELL?!
First no medal; now she snubs him.
This was quite outrageous moment, so a character with long history, a friend with whom she spend years is sidelined to hug a complete stranger to her.... Rey? Leia should have been simply overjoyed to see Chewie alive especially after sensing through the Force Han's death, she would have actual emotional connection to Chewie to both this moment would have been sharing the grief for death of best friend and husband!!! Dammit. Chewie himself would be comforting her in pain they had years of shared history for goodness sake. Leia should have asked, who is this girl upon seeing her!
@@fantasywind3923 fucking exactly! She could’ve talked to Chewie, mourned with him and then said “who’s this girl?” to Chewie and then we get some sort of relationship between Leia and Rey developed.
@@zorn1745 nice to see someone agreeing with me, that mess only confirms that rey is simply Mary Sue character, and as we know in all amateur fanfiction mary sues are instantly liked by everyone in their presence for some unfathomable reason, ughh this was infuriating, hell Leia hugged Chewie in original trilogy after escaping imperial chase in joy simply after knowing Chewie for short time it's simple emotional reaction, and it would have been even more justified after decades of shared history. Them ignoring each other after HAN SOLO'S DEATH makes even less sense.
"my husband is dead and here's my friend I went though a war with, I better sa....OH MY GOD IT'S REY THE GLORIOUS PRAISE BE!!!!!!!"
I can't get over Leia walking right past Chewbacca her husband's best friend to grieve with a random stranger. What were they thinking?
Who gives a fucking shit
They weren’t. That’s the point.
I was audibly upset in the theater when she walked right past chewie. That woulda been a tear jerker moment Leia sobbing, chewie howling. Stupid jj
@SounDrazzRiton-kv7vg only real fans who have an understanding of how the characters they grew to love over the years, and an understanding of how they may react to certain hypothetical situations. Go away tourist.
Maybe he was thinking Rey was Leia's long lost niece. Her being Luke's daughter would make soooo much sense.

"We relate to her due to her actions and her character."

Right...
You didn't relate to ordering genocide, or getting thrown in a dumpster?
Phasma was serious wasted potential. Makes me sad.
You have before you Gwendolyn Christie, the very same actress as Brienne of Tarth. Who is one of the most moving female characters of this decade. And you squander that for a trash compactor reference. Disgraceful.
I can relate to a soldier following a regime's command... well, not relate, but I can put myself in her shoes. The dumb thing about that statement is that you can only ever relate to someone due to their actions and their character. That's all there is. Phasma is just such a non-entity that there is no way you can even define who she is. She is barely more than an extra.
So she had to come up with something to say in that interview and went with the equivalent statement of "the sky is blue". A complete filler statement to mask that there is absolutely nothing going on with that character.
Arphemius I wouldn’t have wanted to relate to Phasma, personally. I think she should have been a more classic Disney villain, an imposing threat to all the characters. She can still be given human depth in other ways, such as giving her motivations and ambitions. But making her *relatable* to casual audiences runs a high risk of defanging her.
That the actress actually said that about this character makes me seriously and genuinely think she has some sort of mental problem.
I love how he intentionally says "can't wait to get more on that" about every single thing we got nothing more on. lmao
The Last Jedi really did retroactively make this movie even worse.
Honestly, that is not saying much
When an installment says, "Click here to find out what this could mean," it's clickbait.
I can't think of any film or series that requires the viewing of other installments to make it "Good." The only series that even comes close to "it'll be explained in the next film" is the Bourne trilogy, and even then you don't need to watch the others to appreciate each individual film as a film. They only become better as a whole because of minor moments that no one will notice unless you really pay attention to what each character says and how they affect the protagonist.
The Force Awakens was a heaving pile of rancid refuse and The Last Jedi only spat on it
That was obvious even when TFA released - only a good sequence could have saved it.
Really good point. With Star Wars Episodes 1 to 6, they stand up on their own with backstory and mysteries that are paid off and make logical sense. Maintain continuity etc. They tell one grand story. TFA was not meant to be Episode 1. It was Episode 7. And it didn't continue from ROTJ or explain anything. And well, the rest is history with TLJ too. To think they ditched Lucas' treatments which apparently continued the story for this is unbelievable. And I concur with your point on Bourne. You understood each film alone, they link together and progress the story. They don't just keep rehashing things and leave a string of unanswered questions. The ST is all about style, without story and substance and a constant tease.
I didn't think that was possible, but you're right.
@@RacinZilla003 Endgame. There you go. A film that cannot stand on its own but when watched after viewing previous entries (not all of them, of course; I didn't even see Thor: The Dark World before watching Endgame and I still understood what was going on) will be extremely satisfying.
"where is my world-building"? 10/10
It's in the comics, books, games, and Wiki, apparently. :p Not in the movies though.
Its a Feminist Movie.
World-building?
HAHAHAHAHAHA. xD
Finn was such a wasted character. He was raised to fight, err he was raised to clean and maintain the facilities. They almost started off with him turning against violence, and it would have been an interesting if the character was struggling with trying to remain a pacifist/ peaceful later on. But literally minutes later, he was screaming "boo yeah" as he murders the men he grew up and lived along side with.
men who were kidnapped and indoctrinated just like him from childhood, he is literally cheering about killing conscripted child soldiers. (victims)
@@Daredhnu Right? But we don't need to question the ethics or motivations of the characters if they don't make sense, just stuff popcorn into your face while enjoying a 5 dollar fountain drink.

What pisses me off how she somehow knows more about a ship she just started flying than the man who's been flying it for years, a man who has done repairs and even made additions over time.
I am not going to believe Rey knows more about the Falcon than Han motherfucking Solo
This is explained in the movie actually.
HAN: Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line!
REY: Unkar Plutt did. I thought it was a mistake too, puts too much stress on the hyperdrive.
And during the escape, right before she removes the compressor.
REY: Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump too -- if we don't prime that we're not going anywhere.
HAN: I hate that guy.
Han lost the Millennium Falcon years ago and didn't know about the modifications Unkar made with the help of Rey. It's one thing the movie does do right when it comes to Rey. It's just a few throw-away lines but it's enough.
@@awandererfromys1680 She shouldn't know that something puts too much stress on the hyper drive. She has never flown a ship. She should think whatever the ship is doing is exactly what it's supposed to do, she shouldn't have any idea or recognition about the previous performance of the ship before the compressor was used.
@@pascalsimioli6777 REY: I've flown some ships but I've never left the planet!
Onscreen dialogue shortly after taking the Millennium Falcon.
Onscreen dialogue also establishes she's not just a scavenger. She's a mechanic. And I expect any mechanic to know where a part does or does not belong. That's _mechanics._
Hate on Rey all you want but this particular bit of her character is no different from Luke knowing how to pilot an X-Wing and engage in fullblown battle while he had never left the planet before either. All he knew was bullseyeing womprats from his T-16.
Or Anakin building his own protocol droid from scrap.
It seems that Force-sensitivity gives SW main characters a particular secondary skill set.
@@awandererfromys1680 nonsensical point. She is never established to be a mechanic, just a scavenger. She scavenges old parts from a star destroyer which is completely different than a ship. Shits like comparing a semi to a bike. Fundamentally similar but not similar. I know this bc I actually work on cars but hey. U know mechanics right. Also complete straw man, they argued it’s stupid that she knows more about it than it’s owner/ expert of it. Just nonsensical

I don't know how Leia walking past Chewy isn't receiving the criticism it deserves.
Honestly that is one of the most out of touch things if not THE most out of touch scene in the entire fucking sequel and perfectly illustrates a complete lack of understanding regarding who these characters are and what they are all about.
I legit can't even really believe that scene. IT's fucking insane.
Well to be fair it's not as bad as having Han go back to being a smuggler at age 70.....
@@TheStapleGunKid which is explained, in the film when he says "I went back to doing the only thing I was ever good at" after the pain of losing his son to the Snoke. all through the original trilogy the hero thing was an uncomfortable jacket for him.
Still pretty dumb, though. When last we saw him he was a General leading the rebels to victory. Now he's back to smuggling? Come on, that would be like George Patton resigning his commission to go make a living as a petty shop-lifter.
@@TheStapleGunKid I think it was pretty dumb that he was a General in the ROTJ
Maybe so, but it is what it is. Having him go back to being a smuggler was a case of prioritizing fan-service over plot consistency.
The plot sounds like a game of "let's pretend" among 8-year-olds.
Except less thought out.

If Phasma's armor is blaster-proof, why'd she assist the heroes when she was held at gunpoint?
Or she could:
- just not do it because she is in high-command for a fanatical organization!
- instead of deactivating the shields, idk, ALARMING THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET!
- kill them all because there is literally no reason given why she couldn’t as she is still inside the most advanced armor the first order has
Or we could just fuck all that... Thinking is hard - JJ Abrams 2015

"You ridiculously talented yet boring angelic creature" - I laughed so hard at this.
Personally prefer Padme and Paige Tico. I really can't believe the ST went down this disjointed illogical storyline which makes no sense without any backstory and poor new characters etc. I couldn't stop laughing at "Because she's Rey." Never gets old since it's true. And not to mention the "Can't wait to get more on that!"
16:26 "Stop you ridiculous talented yet boring angelic creature. Your characteristics are as bland as your fucking clothing"
I don't know why but I love that line.
Because it's too true
"Episode 9 will be directed by the same guy, so everything will make sense then, you'll see!" Yes, because Abrams has a great trackrecord when it comes to providing satisfying answers and wraping up stories. Endings are his forte.
You didn't use the Sue label once and still got your point about Rey across. I love you, man.
You left the part that he insulted the 80% of the Star Wars Fandom,, along side Kathleen Kennedy and Simon Pegg, Prequels Fans, Expanded Universe fans, Games fans, by calling them unworthy of being Star Wars fans because they weren't Original Star Wars fans. After that news was spread is was only a matter of time that the resentment against Disney and Kathleen Kennedy grow. Why you think that most Star Wars fans (discounting the Original Star Wars fans) are divorcing themselves for the movies, because all what Disney cares about is pander towards the Original Star Wars fans, everyone else is excluded of their special club.

also rey: knows more about the millenium falcon then han solo
C3P0 in episode 5 discover the problem of the Milenium Falcon before Solo. He's a pilot,not a mecanic. It isn't imposible to know more mecanic than him.
@@A.D.V.I. Yes but Han has been repairing the ship together with Chewie all the time (as seen in many scenes in Empire Strikes Back), it took some time to find the problem though and so C3PO communicating with the board computer allowed him to find that crucial malfunction, it still makes little sense especially after 30 years Han at this point would have the ship for many, many decades even longer than 30 years since original trilogy :), still this is just another callback to the original, the Force Awakens was already unimaginative reboot of the New Hope but without the soul of the original.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 she's actually dismantling stuff from a crashed imperial stardestroyer, she is a scavenger, scrapper (at best she would be familiar with imperial tech, since she is seen interacting with various non-functioning pieces of imperial military hardware) she would be most of the time salvaging raw valuable materials and some usable parts from wreckage.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 She wasn't fixing parts in that scene, she was cleaning the parts to make them more presentable for selling which is why she was using a brush. Fixing BB-8's antenna was something that did not even need any tech skill as it merely got bent, literally anyone that cared could fix it. Furthermore the Millennium Falcon is a Corellian YT-1300 Freighter that was heavily customized, it is not military tech.
Rey in the movie was never shown or implied to know how to fly, and even responded when asked immediately afterwards with "I don't know!" This was a non-issue for Luke as he was established early on that he has been learning and practicing flying and wanted to get into the Academy to improve further, nor was it an issue for Han as it was implied (and even in Legends Han was ex-imperial navy) based on his smuggler background.
After the movie they tried to patch things up by trying to say that Rey trained in a derelict Star Destroyer's simulator room, which would be sideways and it's a stretch that it could be powered to begin with with how destroyed those ships were.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 When it came to BB-8 she literally yanked the bent antenna out of its socket and bent it to be straight again before putting it back in. That is not tech savvy, that is something anyone, even children, can do.
Her speeder also does not show any tech savvyness just by her owning it, nor are we ever shown her working on it. Its even implied by the force vision that she was left in Unkar Plutt's care or as a slave. The speeder could have very well belonged to him and it was out on loan to her.
And the novels function is to attempt to fix the numerous problems with the character. It is where they literally had her download matrix style Kylo's training in the middle of him trying to (and failing horribly) torture her so that she could pull off the Jedi mind tricks needed to escape because Jj Abrams simply could not just wait for her to be rescued by Han and Finn.
Even Luke Skywalker who spent his teenage years flying T-16s and doing all kinds of crazy shit ended up terribly average the first time he was put into a starfighter. He hit a lucky shot ("one in a million") but other than that he really didn't do much.
Somehow, Rey is able to fly the Millenium Falcon which I can only assume is 100x harder to pilot than an X-Wing and she's doing stuff Han Solo (a great pilot) couldn't do. And worse, she "doesn't know" how she was able to do it.
All the sequel movies were terrible. This was just the least terrible one.
Also the controls on the T-16 speeder are identical to those of the T-65 x-wing by design, so pilots can move from one to the other easily. Rey just pulls skills out of her ass.
Superior piloting skills - pluck
Speaks wookie - pluck
Marksman with a blaster - pluck
Incredible force skills - pluck
Luke had to train and fight for all accomplishments

All well, this movie was a bit of a bummer. But guys, I am positive that The Last Jedi will be incredible! We have Rey's parentage to look forward to, we will find out who Snoke is, maybe we will find out more about Finn's life as a Stormtrooper, Rey will be trained and we can see what the limits of her power are, maybe she will turn to the dark side, and oh wow, Luke is back! Can't wait to see what they do with Luke, and why he went to that island, and how he reacts to the death of Han Solo, and how he affects the story!

His friend Neville Longbottom has sent his best member of the Order of the Eagle to retrieve a map to his location from an old ally. Cho Chang has been taken hostage and a ransom has been demanded from Harry Potter, the legendary wizard who defeated the dark lord years ago. Only with his help can Neville and his brave Eagles defeat the evil Life Feeders..." Hermione Granger has turned into a drunk witch who never uses magic and doesn't want to. Harry Potter has received the Owl about Cho's situation, but doesn't want to help and wants to be left alone. A young Muggle who has never heard of magic, randomly stumbles upon the Owl trying to deliver the message of Harry's location to Neville. Having never been to Hogwarts, the young muggle finds the broom of Harry Potter, his Firebolt, in the back of an antique shop, just as he/she randomly encounters Hagrid who tells her "magic is all true." Hermione is now a smuggler who works with Hagrid smuggling illegal dragon and dangerous materials across the magical world. When Hagrid asks the antique shop owner how he came across the broom, the response is "That's a story for another time." The muggle, who has never been trained in magic, nor heard of it, then runs into a dark robed Life Eater called "Wuhaca". Wuhuca is known to have been a former Head Boy at Hogwarts, captain of the Quidditch Team for Grynfindor and one of Harry Potter's greatest Auror apprentices. He is even said to have been the son of legendary Minister for Magic Hermione Granger. Wuhaca offers the young muggle the chance to serve alongside him and his Master, Lord Incognita. The young muggle outflies Wuhaca and his own wand flies into the Muggle's hand. He is bested with a scar across his face and at the last moment a great chasm opens up in the middle of the London street on which they were duelling. The Cauldron of Doom meanwhile is launching its fire potion beam from the hidden village of New Hogsmeade, somewhere in the south of France. It destroys the Ministry for Magic in one fell swoop. In the ensuing chaos, only Neville's Eagles who amount to a mere 12 wizards and witches remain. They fly their brooms against an onslaught of 900 Life Eaters, but somehow one reckless Eagle manages to break through and fire a reversing spell on the Cauldron which implodes and takes out the entire Life Eater base and 80% of their followers. Lord Incognita tells the deputy Life Eater to bring Wuhaca back to him for further training and to continue to Crucify Cho Chang to draw out Harry Potter. Neville encounters the young Muggle and Hagrid and even Hermione who came out of hiding at the last moment. Neville hugs the Muggle ignoring Hermione and Hagrid. He then plugs in the hidden map of Harry's location into the Marauder's map which points to Harry being on Privet Drive. Hermione stays behind, as does Neville and Hagrid. The random Muggle now dons Harry's broom as her own and goes to Privet Drive where she finds a fat Harry sitting on his balcony. He/she asks Harry for his help to save Cho Chang and Harry Potter takes his broom, throws it into the rubbish bin across the street and tells her to get off his lawn.

If Disney wanted money, why they didn't tough about making this new trilogy focusing on how was formed the First Order?, I'm even thinking about the opening credits starting with something like "It's been 40 years of peace in the galaxy but deep in the galaxy the dark side has reborn or I don't know something like that", but the way they started in the Force Awakens, making everything again just like the beginning of A New Hope, means that everything our heroes did in Return of the Jedi was completely useless, nothing changed....the First Order is just the Empire with a different name.
The concept of Luke in exile was ridiculous from the beginning, the idea of Ben Solo as the main villain is horrible. I mean, the love of Han and Leia and the guidance of Luke, ended up creating that monster? So technically our heroes saved the galaxy before, but now they are destroying it?
Such a wonderful last scenes in Return of The Jedi and now at the beginning of the FA they look totally meaningless.
They could have kept Luke alive the whole trilogy, training Ray in a big part of it, other old characters of the past like Admiral Ackbar, Chewbacca, R2, C3PO could have been of more importance, and then by the end of the trilogy Rey and the others could have been fully in charge and the episodes 10-12 based 100% in the new characters.
Now we have this mess, so probably, in episode 9 the Almighty Rey is gonna be a Jedi Master (without any training) and she will be training a young generation of Jedi....ugh.
Sorry if I did some mistakes, English is not my first language.
It’s been revealed that Lea was going to die in 9. The plan was literally to have each episode primarily focus on one of the three, then kill them off at the end of that episode.
What an awful idea. It could had been so great to see Luke as an important character trough all the films.
Why not just be set in the future where they are dead of old age anyways? They can still have cameos as recordings or ghosts that way.
suemorphplus2009 that would be very good
Your English is great!
Gotta admire MauLer's ability for renaming these plot devices. Baby Tarkin and Creamy Sheeve are my favorites.
Finn: "Oh, they hate that ship!!!"
*The First Order doesn't immediately see the Millennium Falcon parked, and that the suspects are running towards it*
I suppose it's my fault, if I wanted consistency, I wouldn't be watching a Star Wars sequel.
Whatever. Buy Porgs!
I mean, why didn't he Millennium Falcon became some sort of a legendary symbol over years? After all, it was the ship that helped in the destruction of two motherfurcking Death Stars and other impressive stuff. I mean, I know that the Falcon is not the only YT-1300 model, but wouldn't the First Order hate the ship series with a passion? They shouldn't train their troops to destroy any kind of symbol that makes them remaind them of the biggest defeats the old Empire ever suffer?
I'm not asking these new movies to have a lore with same level as Tokien's legendarium, but this is a sequel from a couple of trilogies with a story behind them, be more consistent.
Yavinus That's kind of my point.
What Finn says implies the FO in TLJ hate it with passion for what it's crew did to the Empire, but it seems to have no real relevance to them in TFA.
Yet another aspect in which the stories of these movies are utterly divorced from one another, never mind the Star Wars universe.
I always found it laughably sad that the Millennium Falcon is supposedly the most infamous ship in the galaxy , yet no one knows what it looks like in The Force Awakens.
* nobody remembers the wars of VI, or it's participants, or the Jedi and Sith *
* Everyone does remember that one ship *
Hey everybody, I have been busy looking into good ol' Force Awakens and this is the run up to a longer set of videos I am preparing, I hope you enjoy the perspective and stay tuned for the critique series to follow up!
Oh and we have a Star Wars themed Discord under construction, if you would like to check it out, it's an easy way to contact me :) - discord.gg/6aYYVKk
MauLer let it be known that you were the sole reason I changed my mind on the last Jedi and the force awakens
Yes! Tear it a new one! When I was astounded at how bad TFA was, all the normies hated me for pointing out a zillion moronic details about this trash. Not until the Last Jedi pissed all of them off was I vindicated, but some of them still say TFA was good. So, please, go ahead and do this! LET THE MAULING BEGIN!
Thank you so much for making these, it’s so great having an easily accessible place from which to point out the legitimate criticism for the sequel films since a lot of the Internet seems to think the only complaints are “too many fan theories” or whatever the current groupthink is.

"And she pretends to be apart of a better film"
Okay that one had me rolling.
"Where is my world building?!"
A fine addition to my collection; another line that sums up this disaster of a triology.
Ironic now it’s a reference to another beloved series that once was the pinnacle of its genre but then was skullfucked to death out of spite.
Well, now I'm crying. I'm reminded that this is Star Wars now. There is no going back.
We survived the prequels, I'm sure we'll survive the new trilogy.
The real test - both for the fanbase and the creators - will be the next Star Wars movies. Because unlike the prequels after RotS, they won't stop coming...
Just read the Timothy Zahn Thrawn Trilogy and you'll get something better. You'll star wars. And just ignore this non-Canon movie.
+Diana Barnett The original films still exist. You can ignore the newer films if you so desire.
Very Serious Well... at least the Prequels are the PERFECT source of memes.
Very Serious Yeah except the prequels actually had love and creativity put into it. George wasn’t afraid to try new things.

The time when Leia ignores Chewbacca to go console Rey for her loss of Han is the worst moment in this trilogy.
There’s a lot of “worst moments in this trilogy” 🤣
"She sells some junk, and pretends to be part of a better film." I had to pause the video, because I was laughing so hard. I think you just summed up the entire sequel dickery in one sentence. And referring to BB-8 as a different type of ball every single time is absolutely fantastic. 3 ball descriptions in, and I started looking forward to it. :D
That actually is a perfect summation to the entire new trilogy in a really meta commentary sort of way. They exist so Disney can sell some junk while pretending their films are better versions of the originals.
My favourite was "Why is sportsball have an ashtray?"
In the empire strikes back what does leia do when han gets dropped into the carbonite?
She hugs the wookie, the second she looses han she goes to the wookie, why would she ignore the damn walking carpet this time?
Rian Johnson.
@shadowspider9 I can understand.
Rey is Luke's analog and Leia hugs Luke in A New Hope when Obi Wan dies.
shadowspider9 that sad even the actors know how much garbage these films are
Bryon Lape Leia hugged Luke because it would’ve made zero sense to hug Han or Chewie, they weren’t close to Obi wan and Luke screamed “no” when he died and alerted the stormtroopers and we see Han and Chewie make fun of Obi Wan earlier in the movie
But Mauler, she was a scavenger which means she can totally fly every ship!
Heuch Gack and she had to survive on a desert planet so she can totally beat a sith trained by both Luke skywalker and a totally important character who will have a Huge impact in the trilogy.........also she can swim
to be honest kylo had killed his father and had a hole in his abdomen....i can buy rey beating him......then the last jedi came
Z Ten oh yeah she can swim like a fucking champ even though it was the first time she ever tried......but she’s not a Mary Sue though though that’s ridiculous
Nope, I can't buy it. Not after we've seen that the wound doesn't really impact him much in his fight against Finn.
Oh, also, did we mentioned that Ben was trained by two masters, one a Jedi master the other a Sith, I guess.
Because... ya know. The FORCE! And the Force makes you AWESOME!!!
I appreciate there’s a lot more going on here but thank you for pointing out that Rey shoots a storm trooper with a pistol when the trooper missed with a rifle. 24:30-24:40. Anyone who has shot a pistol quickly appreciates how much more difficult it is to hit something with a pistol at a specific range than with a rifle (though not saying easy with a rifle, just easier).
Good site but you’re too smart for this plageristic shite film
We just gonna ignore the fact Poe killed Finn’s friend? I guess we did
Why not? Even Finn did.
“Friendship ended with Stormtrooper pal. Now Stormtrooper pal’s murderer is my best friend!”
-Finn
Chan Thorpe I think I saw a couple of other videos and in the comics of force awakens it shows finn and his squad mates seem to be less intense
but yeah I do remember them being trained to ignore the dying
rey kisses the guy who killed han in front of her..thats how this series ends..yes...perfect
Chan Thorpe They are also conditioned to be loyal but clearly Finn didn’t get that memo. So yes he had a friend,
Have you noticed everything that falls down a shaft comes back.
Darth Maul: Chopped in half, fell down shaft and came back.
Luke: Jumps down shaft and comes back.
Lukes lightsaber: Falls down shaft and comes back
Palpatine: Yeeted down shaft and is coming back in the next movie.
Just waiting on Obi-Wans first lightsaber and Lukes rotten hand.
Does the place they dropped Han in this film count as a shaft?
Yep.
But the thing is the whole “force explosion” or whatever you call it happened, and the Death Star exploded, how does the emperor possibly make it back?
@@impulse5674 it's for money.
It happens at the end of episode 9 as well.....
I thought the Force Awakens was bad, but remarkably, TLJ has somehow managed to make this movie *worse* upon rewatching.
I can still remember trying to talk my brother into coming with me to see TLJ with me. He said 'I thought you didn't like the last one?' To which I replied 'Come one! There's no way it could be worse than Force Awakens!'
God I miss my innocence....
Wellington I seriously hated TFA but after TLJ it doesn't seem so bad lol. It's still terrible, but TLJ is so much worse
I must be in the minority, me and my friends actually liked TLJ more than TFA. At least it was _mostly_ trying to be its own thing and not plagiarize A New Hope all the time like TFA was.
I think TLJ is definitely worse than the Force Awakens.
It failed on at least 3 separate levels, as a Star Wars movie (that takes place within the larger context of the Star Wars mythos), as a sequal to the Force Awakens (so within the context of the inferior, Disney Star Wars mythos) and as a standalone movie in itself (owing to its numerous plot holes, amateur writing, bad characterisation, terrible world-building etc.).
For all the Force Awakens flaws, one could argue that since it's a launching pad for the new universe Disney are hoping to build, it sets the pace for the rest of the trilogy. It sets the rules/context for the rest of the trilogy, so it can't really fail on that level, whilst TLJ very much can and did.
I dunno, if TFA is a bad start to the sequel trilogy I don't think failing as a sequel to it is that bad a thing. Then again, I don't really get why it fails as a sequel, or why its quality as a standalone movie should matter when by definition it can't be one.
I mean, I have my problems with TLJ but not for the reasons most people complain about, and despite the fact that I've thought too much about it, I still like it more than TFA. It actually interests me, while in retrospect TFA doesn't get anything more than a "meh" reaction. There are scenes I genuinely like in TLJ, while everything in TLA is basically a plagiarism of A New Hope, written by someone who didn't understand why the original Star Wars was good.
Rey's character feels like when you have a jealous new friend that starts inserting themselves into you and your friends' inside jokes and demanding that treasured old photos be recreated with them in the middle.
That is an absolutely brilliant description! This type of “friend’s“ next move will be to start hanging out with your friends and deliberately excluding you pretending it was an oversight or they couldn’t get a hold of you.
As much as hate as the prequels get, compared to the sequels they have infinitely more heart and actually give a huge net gain on the star wars universe. The sequels just cause more confusion and upsets everything the original trilogy was about
I disagree on both counts, they didn’t seem to have a lot of heart and most certainly were rather negative for Star Wars considering their reaction was what shaped this trilogy, regardless the prequels kick the shit out of this trilogy since it was a serious effort that wanted to tell a good story, just didn’t know how it seemed
Prequels: Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Qui-Gon, Shaak Ti, Ki Adi Mundi, General Grievous, more Wookies, Yaddle, very good jedi/sith fights, pod racing, etc.
Disney Star wars: purple-haired Holdo, incompetent Hux, comedy relief, janitor Finn, MaRey Sue, Poe, sea cows with green milk, insignificant orange yoda, stupid porgs, cattle prods the stormtroopers use against lightsabers, useless captain phasma, and other similar lame and forgettable characters....
I think the writing is the prequels was not good, but at least Lucas made an attempt to tell a real story. The Disney trilogy is just . . . awful. None of the Disney characters progress. Finn especially goes nowhere and I think the life of a former stormtrooper could have been incredible.
Catzilla they really did drop the ball on Finn hard
Jañed they could have given him a great end by risking his life for the rebellion in TLJ but Rian Johnson wanted fucking ROSE to “save the day”
It's over Disney! Mauler has the high-ground!

We will never get a new one of those again, will we?
And many people thought the problems with Disney Star Wars started in The Last Jedi. I almost walked out of the theatre when Leia hugged Rey instead of Chewie....I should have....the rest of the movie made no difference.
I almost couldn't believe how many people defend this piece of shit but act like The Last Jedi is the problem. Fucking fanboys/fangirls are the most delusional people on this planet.

Funny how everyone loved this movie when it first came out and the crowd is finally waking up to the stupidity of the movie. Thanks to all those calling out the movie for the lack of vision and incoherence.
I find your lack of vision incoherent.(force choke)
I hated it as soon as I finished watching it and came out of the cinema. The first thing that I thought was "why have I just wasted my money on a film I already own?" as it was literally a copy n paste of A New Hope, if I wanted to watch ANH then all I would have to do is walk across my room get the DVD, remove the disc from the case and put it into my laptop and voila! all in less than 2 mins I could watch it without having to spend money on a ticket and on petrol. Then again expecting originality from Jar Jar Abrams is like expecting Krazy Kathleen Kennedy to not force her feminazi agenda into the next SW movie; it aint gonna happen.
I thought it was mediocre when I first saw it. Now I think it's complete shit.
God that was annoying. I couldn't believe this shitfest from the 1st time I watched it. This vid excellently explains why the foundation of the trilogy is a pile of boring ridiculous shit. Disney does not know what the fuck they are doing. I'm amazed someone watched this before it was released and thought people, even kids, would not rip it to fucking shreds.
it did take me a week or two to realize how shitty it was. I think it was during my second viewing I realized it. the nostalgia was a bit of a blinder at first.
Jar Jar Abrams made me appriciate the prequels.
Rian Made me miss them.
Solo will make me beg for them.
Holy shit, same
Well, the prequels did make me like the originals, because that's where Palpatine would finally get what he deserved.
Fa Kenews cool, now dont pay to see Solo and encourage others not to go too. Or you're part of the problem.
Caboose things come down to if what a man does matters to himself. Are his dignity and beliefs for sale. At the end of the day you can say Disney Star Wars can't have me. Not my time and money cocksuckers!
Ewww. You can't wash away shit with more shit.
In the Expanded Universe, Luke's hand and lightsaber were found by the Empire at Cloud City after his & Vader's duel. The Emperor ordered it taken to a private storage facility on a hidden planet and preserved for future use. Why Abrams etc couldn't have lifted that and said that the saber was stolen from an Imperial facility and traded hands in the black market until Maz Kanata got it or something I'll never understand.
You are another excellent example of people who could’ve been picked at random from a TH-cam comment section who would’ve done a much better job!
how? we saw both hand and saber fall into the gas giant.

I don't get how Chewie didn't die fighting to get to Han...imagine seeing a Wookie go all out to get to his life-debt / life-bond partner...imagine an orchestral piece called "The Death of Chewbacca." I guess they didn't do that b/c Chewie had an important part to play in Ep VIII...wait...
Nah they can milk Chewey forever since he doesn't have an actors face attached to him.

Star War: The Coincidence Awakens
The number of coincidences in this movie is stagggering! Lazy writing over all
I've never been a Star Wars girl. I never cared too much, or put my time and effort in to watching the series, but it was still a part of my life. Sitting in my pjs on the living room floor while my family sat around and watched the originals, seeing Luke Skywalker on screen and thinking he was cute, it was still my childhood and I loved that. I was excited for the new movie, so I went to see it with my mom, who was also never a huge Star Wars fan, but still cared to some extent.
We were literally giggling in the theater. We were laughing with each other and whispering like school girls about how silly the film was and how none of it made sense. I've known ever since I walked out of the cinema that night that I didn't like the movie, and have argued against countless people over how bad it was. Not having seen the movies in a few years (because I can't force myself to watch it) I can only remember a few key things that I disliked about this film, but watching this video was like going back in time- remembering all I hated about it and things I had questioned as well.
I have a particular friend I can't wait to send this video to, just so I can finally drop the mic on all our arguments over this movie.
