. . . it's true, dude. It's not clickbait at all.


I'm aware. I've read the book where the fight occurred ( Maul: Lockdown in case you didn't know ). I'm referring to the annoying capitalized font advertising a single event in the novel that they try to extend into a 10 minute video for ad revenue.

Many complain about the prequels. At least they didn't have SJW propaganda that they have in the modern Disney™ Star Wars movies. Rey is instantly able to door cool things with the force just because she's a woman, while Luke had to train for the entire second movie just to be able to barely defeat the emperor in the third movie.

And don't get me started on the fake "diversity". More black people and women isn't diverse. They just want less white men in the movie.

As long as people like you exist, so-called "forced" diversity must remain. It's fewer whites btw, not less. If this drives you away, I'd like to see fewer white men in SW movies.

Disney movies are the most successful SW products, especially the sequels. People like them. They are the only movies I've paid for and I'm going to watch ep. 9 as soon as it comes out. What they bring is here to stay.

Possibly ordered by palps not to regard anakin as a jedi, or if he planned this shit out from day 1 they were programmed not to attack them.

1. Many complain about Star Wars fans. And rightly so.
2. Touching on touchy topics that are equally as likely to exist in a galaxy far, far away as in our world is not SJW propaganda. It's not Star Wars' fault that you don't like those topics.
3. Would you care to provide a source that Rey's gender had anything to do with her natural abilities/quick learning?
4. Are you comparing Rey's prison trickery with Luke facing a Sith Lord? Because frankly, one of those seems like it would require a lot more training than the other.
5. "diverse: dəˈvərs, dīˈvərs/ adjective; showing a great deal of variety." More variety in gender and race is actually very nearly the definition of diversity. Try again please.
6. Well see, logically, when you add diversity to a group/cast, that means there will be less of the group that was formerly dominant. But seeing as you still have Poe, Han, Luke, Kylo, and Hux just to name a few, it's not as if they're not represented.

Look, I'm no ST apologist. I don't like these movies much, frankly. But if you're going to critique them, please give it a little more effort. Your points nearly refute themselves.

Hux to me is simply part of a larger problem in the First Order. The problem being is that the First Order does not feel like a threat. I mean it has been pretty incompetent military wise but that is also true for the empire. The difference is the Empire had figures like Vader who were intimidating and felt like threats.

The First Order has people like Kylo Ren who feels like a whiny brat and who has gotten his ass kicked by Rey and Rey also had to save him during the fight with Snoke´s guard. And with Hux becoming little more than comic relief and Snoke being dead the figures in the First Order don´t feel intimidating or feel like an actual threat.

So I do hope Hux becomes more like his TFA self or Kylo becomes more competent since the First Order is severely lacking in intimidating villains right now.

The FO should have been set up more to be Zealots, which is to me what they were kind of doing with Hux in TFA. He was not this heavily experienced commander or official, but a zealot who was dedicated to his cause. They should have went further with that in TLJ imo, just really show them to be fanatical zealots that dont really have the experience or veteran officers the empire did. Even if the empire also did stupid shit on screen too.

Some may think this a meme but I'm still just waiting for JJ to reveal Jar Jar Binks a The Dark Lord of the Sith in the new movie. That Darth Sidious laugh at the end of the recent trailer? Just Jar Jar continuing his red herring operation till the very end.
