Literally not worth the aggro.

I think what this list shows to me is just how politically entrenched this site has become.

Your first point is entirely fair. The resistance did what it was essentially fated to do in a Star-Wars-type universe - over-achieve because of basic heroism and long-odds dice-rolling. That’s the kind of universe this had, up till now, been.

Tell me another word that means the same as “fuck” and I’ll use it. There’s no other phrase with the same meaning as “go fuck yourself”.

Fucking hell.

This. Frankly I’ve been taken aback by the vitriol. I didn’t like the movie because it’s technically a bad movie. Bad writing, pacing issues, mcguffins and pointless filler and all that. The fucking gender politics aspect of it didn’t even enter into my mind. I didn’t dislike it because I’m really a racist. I didn’t…

I didn’t. Jedi was a disappointment after the high point of Empire. Of the first three movies, Empire was considered the better movie by everybody I knew, and was often held up as a prime example of the rare occurrence of a sequel being better than the original.

Why is this site so determined to lecture us about what terrible people we are for not liking this goddamn movie? I didn’t like it because it was a bad movie for me. That doesn’t make me “everything that’s wrong with the internet” or a “closet misogynist” or any other of the things I’ve been called because bad writing…

A ship that, let’s remember, had the long range guns that would have rendered Holdo’s plan to stay out range ineffective.

The movie could be classed as a comedy of errors.

Ackbar played no pivotal role that we saw. He didn’t need to be fleshed out because he was a minor background character.

Except the resistance has done nothing but lose since the first frame of TFA. Why would anybody have any faith in that shower of incompetents?

The guy who took out Starkiller base? The acknowledged best pilot in the fleet? The guy who saves the entire resistance at the start of the movie by refusing orders to withdraw and thereby destroying the dreadnought just as it was about to start firing on their last cruiser?

Interesting the difference in reaction between that and this:

He didn’t save “everybody”, he saved everybody who was left, which was practically nobody.

Totally. Movie 8 of a 9 movie saga is not the time to start deconstructing the genre.

In this one, even the bad guys fail hard.

Aw, I loved that Yoda was still fucking with Luke, even after being dead.

Except that’s not how the Star Wars universe works, is it?

He’s not a junior officer. He’s a captain, was a commander until unfairly demoted, the destroyer of Star Killer base, the acknowledged best pilot in the fleet, and a hero of the resistance. He’s just as legendary a figure as Luke Skywalker is in TESB. Luke is allowed to come and go as he pleases and nobody bats an…
