A very good and funny review.
But yeah he is cringey hence the no serial killer plot edit.

[Alvecia]

George Lucas killed Star Wars
Kathleen Kennedy Killed Star Wars
JJ Abrams killed Star Wars
Rian Johnson killed Star Wars

D&D will kill Star Wars
Fan Darling Dave Filoni will most likely at some point also kill Star Wars

Star Wars.


The Franchise that dies every time some one looks at it.

Reminds me of a letter that got posted about the first time the Doctor regenerated in Doctor Who and how it had ruined the series and would never recover.
That was back in 1966.

Fandoms. Fandoms never change.

is there a way to get a higher resolution for KOTOR without having to download some random third party software or program?

[Fedel]

Also this.

Its RUINED

Because RUIN JOHANSON

Since we're on the topic, here's your friendly reminder that Rian Johnson did everything wrong.

FTFY.

[Nova Cyberia]

Rian Johnson didn't ruin Star Wars so can we please give this shit a rest? True, there was a lot wrong with TLJ but that alone is not enough to ruin Star Wars.

And besides, despite all the problems the movie had there were still some really good parts to it. It's a mixed bag in many ways.

[The Huskar Social Union]

For the episode IX midnight showing i was thinking of getting a custom shirt made of Rian Johnsons face saying i killed your childhood.

So that when i am set upon by hordes of angry fans, i can laugh a little before my ultimate demise.

I agree.

I see it as a fine but flawed movie, i can point out stuff i dont like in it, but overall ive enjoyed it every time ive watched it.

My opinion has softened on it with time. There's still some things I can never forgive like the Canto Bight or Holdo getting more screen time than Ackbar, but I did also enjoy many parts of it like. My biggest gripe about it was mainly that it answered none of the questions left by TFA.

I don't think he was solely responsible for ruining it but he definitely put the final nail in the coffin.

I wouldn't say there was any part of the movie that I would consider above average outside of the visuals.

apart from make capital ships completely useless apart from being glorified fireships.

I think the fandom is just so used to Star Wars movies either being classics of the genre or raging dumpster fires that a truly mediocre entry was something nobody really expected.

ill be honest, the new trilogy kinda made me appreciate the prequels.

then again i was drunk as fuck when watching Jar jar being a bumbling jackass so figures i found it funny.

[Fedel]

Nah. I honestly really appreciate the creativity and world building that went in the prequels after seeing the sequels. Bad execution of a good idea is better than bad execution of a bad idea.

Oh no, TLJ is a total dumpster fire, but it's not an enjoyable one like the prequels are.

At least with the prequels the acting can get so bad and writing/direction can be so out there that it's super fun to just experience and see how it all meshes together. TLJ isn't enjoyable, and that's because A. It's the world's slowest chase movie (Seriously, is there an actual world record for slowest chase movies? Because TLJ totally deserves it), B. It's way too bloody reliant on sitcom style comedy and shock value. Oh sorry, I meant "It was masterfully focused on brining levity to dark situations and defying your expectations." while also, C. Being too scared to actually go through with its main message and themes. Almost the entire movie is about letting the past go, moving on, exploring new possibilities, nothing is truly black and white, etc... and then totally backtracks in the last 15 minutes to turn it back into a good vs evil plot.

But we've done enough ranting on TLJ and this is supposed to be peace times god damnit.

and thinking about it, planetary invasions over the taxation of trade routes is a very good plot point.

To clarify, they actually invaded on Sidious's order with that only being their pretense for blockading Naboo in the first place. This was done so that Palpatine could initiate the "vote of no confidence" in Chancellor Valorum and use the fact that he appeared as the intelligent, kind an well spoken senator of a planet that was being held hostage to become Chancellor.

Honestly would've thought it would've been really interesting if Rey decided to join Kylo and actually make a better galaxy but whatever... *Shrug*

oh yea for the new trailer where did all those Imperial class star destroyers come from? why are they all at the same plane *in fucking space* why didnt the first order use a version of the Tie interceptor before?

why is rey holding a red light saber?....why is it now a duel bladed light saber?

I mean, yeah, all of these complaints are valid.

I do still find TLJ a far more appealing film on several other levels even if the writing falls flat and fails to follow itself through. It's a popcorn thriller, a slow one with weird tonal issues, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it a dumpster fire. There are movies way more deserving of that.

Exactly! I refuse to believe that Kylo is the bad guy of TLJ, he has the most development and progression out of any character in that movie, he accepts that there's more to the force and galaxy than just the dark side and power, he wants to acknowledge and rectify the mistakes of the past that both the Jedi and Sith have caused, etc...

And then in the past 15 minutes he just decides to kill all of The Resistance and rule the galaxy as the Fist Order because Rey decided that everything must stay as he status quo demands.

[Andsed]

Honestly my main issue with TLJ and really the new trilogy as a whole is that it has really done nothing new or creative with the Star Wars universe. I mean the prequels at least gave us new insight on the Jedi order and the politics of the republic and had a lot of pretty interesting story ideas that were just done poorly. The new movies have not really given us any new or interesting stories or gave us any new insight on the universe.

The fact is, Disney has had Star Wars for nearly a decade now and we still barely no anything about how the galaxy has gotten to the point it did in the sequels. That's my main issue with it.

They're trying so hard to retain this air of mystery because the truth is, they don't have any answers to the questions they keep introducing.

Slow speed chases are fine, Star Trek has done it well for years. TLJ did it poorly.
Really the humor was worst part. The audience should not be laughing like its the canned laugh of 90-2000s sitcoms every 15 minutes. Almost all of it was bad as well.
