Then you may have missed the point of Luke’s scenes with the Resistance, they’re talk about broadcasts, and his heading out - alone - with a Laser Sword - to face a bunch of Gorilla AT-ATs. Then the scenes after are about kids across the galaxy talking up the story they heard from those broadcasts, hyping themselves…

It’s what I saw. They kept going back (again and again) to the role of Luke being Mythic, and his resistance to accept that role. In the end, he does, in grand dramatic fashion specifically to be the “Spark” to light a resistance. That’s exactly what I saw in TLJ.

Sounds like you didn’t understand the movie. That was very clear  

In total and complete fairness to the show-runners, I think they were screwed with Bran’s storyline from pretty much the get-go, because of adaptational choices that they made early in pre-production that worked until they didn’t.

Bran: “Why do you think I came all this way?”

After making the mistake of glancing at the bottom half of the internet that has responded to these spoiler-free reactions, my position has been reaffirmed: as a tired grown-up that is tired, I will be happy when next summer rolls around and the toxic fandom brigade (or at least the constant bubbling up of it) will…

One tweet said “The last jedi haters will love it”

“...from the leeks.”

Isn’t the opposite true? Yoda was basically telling him to ‘learn from my mistakes’. Yeah, Yoda was a great warrior who did a bunch of flips and did cool stuff with a lightsaber, and under his decisions to make the Jedi into a bunch of warriors to lead a war and that kind of thing, he effectively doomed the galaxy and…

They did the work, and even if none of that work was used, they should get credit for doing the work.

Then you’re not going to want to ever join a union. Their job is to look out for your best interests, even if you’re not willing to look out for them yourself.

...

I’m not a writer, but does that actually happen? But I think with books, only writers get credited and the editors get no mention so I believe it’s not a parallel comparison.

I’m of the opinion that if you were cut a check, you should get credit. 

...change “director” to “writer”, and I’ll agree 100%.

That’s my take as well: it’s “John Harrison is totally not Khan.” It’s “the thing in the train car isn’t an alien.” The movie is in the can at this point, and there’s little to nothing Abrams can do to change it. And he has always, always, always been a far better showman and salesman than he is a director. He missed…

Excellent point. I agree. It feels like each director/storywriter was left on their own to create a separate film instead of a 3 movie story arch. 

Star Wars Fans, 1999-2014: The prequels are garbage! Give us something more like the classic movies!

Johnson labored under the incorrect and arrogant delusion that there was something about Star Wars that needed fixing.

Seriously... I’d almost like for the theaters to hand out Valium on the way in so people literally have a chill pill in their hands when walking out. Regardless of the film itself the takes are going to be so annoying.
