The “public” vote of people that pay a monthly fee to kiss Elon’s ass overwhelmingly kissed Elon’s ass.  Shocker. 

The B-story from the Last Jedi was like a leftover from a script for a different movie that got accidentally mixed in with the main script pages.

I feel everyones’ patience for “toxic” fans is exhausted. They’ll get shut down by the more mature corner of the fanbase pretty quickly.

The characters were all pretty good. The screenplay and lack of big picture/world-building vision failed them - and us.

Iger bought Lucasfilm because he wanted to make billions of dollars. And at first it looked like that was going to be the case, because TFA earned two of them in a matter of weeks. But over time, the returns declined. The movies did well enough to pay off the investment but they didn’t turn into an insane moneymaker…

What plan could have possibly been worth sticking to if it involved Luke running away to an island on a remote planet and doing nothing while Space Nazis 2.0 rose to power unopposed?

That’s such stupid bullshit. Tran was a terrible introduced character and Ridley was not well developed. And before you even think it most of the male characters were also badly developed (Boyega especially).

There was no plan. J.J. had his ideas about who the characters were and what they were going to do next, but neither he nor Kasdan were any kind of showrunners. The idea was always that Lucasfilm would hire different creative teams to work on each trilogy movie, and presumably the talents involved would cancel out any…

Doesn’t help when the big picture was hijacked mid-way through by another director. There was a plan and everything and Rian Johnson tossed it all out the window because he thought he knew better. Whether he was right is arguable. Regardless of who had the better vision, it was Rian’s job to follow up on JJ’s plan and…

None of the movies of the sequel trilogy are full on good movies. All have flaws that are significant enough that they fall short of the mark to various degrees. But Rey, and Ridley’s portrayal of her, aren’t really part of the problems that those movies had. She was a good protagonist for a series. It’s just too bad…

I said it multiple times, but that’s because JJ Abrams is a first and foremost a pilot creator. His job to sketch out interesting characters, cast them well, set up the setting, springle intriguing story hooks, and then let other writers do the follow-up. That what he did with both Star Trek and Star Wars - he wrote…

 I loved Rey and the rest of the crew after TFA. It’s not the characters - or the actors - I have a problem with. It’s the story/writing. Daisy had nothing to do with that.

That’s what I was exactly going to say. The issue with the Sequel Trilogy wasn’t the characters but rather the story (or rather the mess) that they all eventually fell into.

Rey was not the problem with the sequels. Neither was Finn or Poe.

I liked all the new characters in the sequels. I just wish they’d had more interesting things to do.

Does this also mean that people with out of state licenses from places where the government isn’t horrible might be charged with “fraud”?

AoS was a network TV show and it always showed, especially whenever they’d try to go for a bigger feel.* Still, most of it was fun, and did some interesting things with the Marvel lore, especially once it fell out of the mainline universe. Secret Invasion will probably be memory-holed in its entirety. It wouldn’t…

Secret Invasion cost over $200M, and apart from the leads, it never looked better than Agents of SHIELD, so yeah, either that or colossal mismanagement on Marvel’s part.
