The other bizarre thing about that complaint was the sheer psychological immaturity of it. If you’re genuinely incensed by the idea that a man in his sixties might be very different from the same man in his twenties you are either a child, or have the mind of one.

I have this theory that the split over Luke is akin to the differences between the storytelling styles of DC and Marvel - the Gods among men vs the regular people with extraordinary abilities.

Whatever my issues with the film are (I am a huge TLJ fan because of Johnson’s ambition and chutzpah, as well as it making pissy fanboys mad, but there are still parts of it that annoy me), I will never forget seeing the Holdo maneuver in the theater.

100% agreed, and it’s true even before he’s ever revealed in The Force Awakens: Luke’s Jedi instruction was entirely from two former Jedi who had voluntarily exiled themselves after making catastrophic errors in supposed service to the Force - of course he’s going to follow in their footsteps! I never understood…

Yeah, the “ruining” of Luke was what hit me most viscerally after watching TLJ—more the fact that his overall arc was so sad and depressing than the fact that he didn’t get to do any flashy heroics. But the more I thought about it the more I realized how beautiful and fitting and hopeful his final sacrifice was. And…

If you know that it makes you look like “that crowd”, maybe you should stop posting hyperbolic videos about how TLJ is the “worst ever”? It’s one thing to not like the movie, but you should be able to explain your views without some random chud doing it for you.  

III was my favourite growing up, I love all three movies, but I’ll always have a special place in my heart for III.

III is way, *way* better than II.

I don’t care how many people I piss off with this hot take, I’m gonna do it:

Hey, Han spent at least half a day with Ben Kenobi!

Well said. One (of many) of the stupid-ass arguments that drives me nuts is, “LUKE TRIED TO KILL HIS NEPHEW! WHAA?!”

With Hoth and Faux-Hoth they were almost halfway to a Margarita. Hopefully one of the Disney+ spin-offs will give us the Lime, Triple Sec and Tequila planets.

I’m pretty sure the salt planet is a joke by Rian Johnson on ‘TFA’s desert planet. “Hey, it’s the second one, so I guess you’re expecting a not-Hoth ice planet. Here it is. Psych! It’s a salt planet.”

I heard that they tried to get Abrams back for the third, but he said, “Look, let’s be honest about my track record: I’m known for setting up a bunch of mysteries that I’m never able to pay off. I’d hate to disappoint fans with some poorly plotted, fanservice-y nonsense, so perhaps try someone who’s shown they can…

Too late to mention it for The Force Awakens, but I still think the easiest and best change they could’ve made would be having Ben Solo not be named Ben, and not just because Han and Leia have no connection to Obi Wan as Ben.

Last Jedi doesn’t tell us to kill the past, it just tells us not to be a slave to it. Because if you let the past control you, then you end up unable to enjoy anything new; not even the best Star Wars movie in over 30 years.

That (the holdo maneuver) blew me away. Throw in the throne room fight and the salt/red clay contrast st the end, and you wind up with one of the more visually stunning sci-fi films of the last decade or so.

Said it before, but it’s still true: If Empire Strikes Back had come out after the invention of social media, it would be just as “hated” as Last Jedi. By which I mean, not hated at all, just whined about constantly by a small mob of manchildren who most media sources (including this article) insist on spotlighting at…

The strange part is that it was the last Star Wars movie. Like, they said it was supposed to be a trilogy, but the third movie never materialized. Still, I’m pretty satisfied with the ending of TLJ.

This movie is fucking awesome and an excellent addition to the Star Wars saga.
