No, they’re about “chivalry”, as well as Nazism.

i don’t know if ‘parenting’ ever stops. i guess it depends on your definition. i’m in my 40's and am recently divorced, and the best advice i got was from my mom. at some point ‘parenting’ turns into passing down prior experience. i never would have gotten through it without my mom. sometimes criticism stems from them…

The mark of adulthood isn’t being married or having kids or having a 401(k), it’s accepting (even embracing!) that not everything is supposed to be tailored to you in particular.

It would really help readers if you put up an actual photo of the goddamned tree.

Located another crybaby pissboi.

I actually thought Rose was a great everyman-type character, showing how someone who wasn’t expecting to be a hero (and who was starstruck by heroes) found her place.

Wow, that is so interesting because as an asian woman, I just saw her as a fucking normal-ass person. Maybe it secretly made me feel normal, too, who the fuck knows. But I’m glad that having an asian woman around feels really unnecessary to you. They should cast only regular normal non-weird real people next time.

God I loved that moment. Mark Hamil killed it as grumpy Luke.

This is weird, but: I kind of think that, by shutting down the possibility that The Force Awakens’s plotlines would lead to a trilogy-long rehashing of the entire original trilogy, and spinning off in surprising and new directions with the characters and their adventures, The Last Jedi retroactively made The Force…

Not to disagree for the sake of disagreeing; after all this could certainly be cause for concern. I would say, however, that Carrie Fisher’s death probably threw a wrench in what J.J. had planned. After all, Episode IX was supposed to focus on her, and a story built on that would definitely need a rewrite.

Boy do you have a chip on your shoulder. It’s a star wars movie, you need to follow yoda’s advice...

I’m always shocked by people who seem to think none of the jokes landed, my audience (both times opening and sunday) were laughing hysterically at most of the jokes. Not all of them work, sure, but to act as if the humor of whole film didn’t work or wasn’t enjoyable is just not the reality that I experienced.

So... Dumping on everything people used to love about Star Wars, but doubling down on prequel-level humor?

I think movie time made it seem longer than it was. It doesn’t take very long to fire at transports. Meanwhile, we’re checking in on Canto Bight, the transport gang, Kylo and Rey, etc. I don’t think it took her more than a few minutes to make the decision. (And kamikaze tactics aren’t arrived at lightly.)

I think it’s reasonable to assume that, as this has probably never been done before, it took her some time to come up with it.

Must’ve been in a different theater than me.

Yoda hitting Luke with the stick? Salacious Crumb? No, Star Wars has never had an slapstick from puppets. At all. People seem to forget what the Star Wars movie are/were when they say TLJ “doesn’t feel like Star Wars”.

You’re complaining about something that was cut from a script draft.

No one fucking cares.

He’s not wrong here. He wanted to try something new. To take risks and produce something original, and not just a throwback to the original trilogy. To make a Star Wars movie for the current generation of fans effectively, and so the angry fanboys are going to lose it and throw threats his way. This is why I’ve come…
