The Last Jedi was an objectively bad middle to a trilogy. It abandoned ideas set up in the first movie (Who are Rey and Snoke?) It contradicted previously established canon (the force doesn’t belong to the Jedi, and the Jedi aren’t special) but also itself (only Leia survives the explosion she was in, presumably…
The Mandalorian, to borrow a phrase from Roger Ebert’s review of the original Star Wars, cheerfully plunders the past, while still tweaking everything it’s doing so that it doesn’t feel derivative. I mean, the original Star Wars borrowed shamelessly from Westerns, and samurai films, and World War 2 bomber movies, and…
I thought he felt too old too.
I’m still absolutely lost on why Lucasfilm/Kathleen Kennedy didn’t have major plot beats mapped out for this trilogy before letting anyone work on it.
I’m not talking down to the minor details, but at least like “This is Rey. This is where she starts, this is where she needs to end up. Fill in the blanks.”
The difference is Abrams has proven he understands what makes Star Wars special. Johnson labored under the incorrect and arrogant delusion that there was something about Star Wars that needed fixing. Star Wars doesn’t need to be ‘fixed’ because it was fucking great to begin with. Johnson could have done TLJ in a more…
It’s weird that they didn’t include the footage of gallons of human blood pouring from his mouth when he first started speaking, as it rapidly filled the auditorium.
Imagine if an AI went rogue and rained bombs and napalm on a neutral country, killing and maiming thousands of innocent people? Only thing I want to from that fucking war criminal is that he's handing himself over for trial at the Hague.
I still marvel at the fact that Eddie Redmayne managed to parlay a small collection of ticks, quirks, and affectations into a thriving film career and a motherfucking Oscar®. Seriously, is he actually good in anything?
May be the last time. I don't know.
Very true. Not sure why i got my hopes up lol.
I didn’t read anything except the grade to avoid spoilers, but wow a B- ??? That’s too bad. I was hoping it was going to be good.
This is a perfect post.
That’s because the TV shows are made by Star Wars nerds turned pros like Filoni. Someone — either Iger or Kennedy — decided very early on that those guys couldn’t be entrusted with the movies. They were too big of a deal to be made by people who’d delve into the deeper and more esoteric canon of the post-prequel…
Given the fact that they didn’t find a sword or mace or something similar, I would guess that this wasn’t a warrior at all or even a cleric but rather a magic-user. The arrowheads were likely used as the material component for a Flame Arrow spell or something similar.
I don’t get the “not an eclipse” thing. On Jupiter, in that shadow, it’s absolutely a solar eclipse.
Poochie lives!

I’m sort of surprised at how many fleshy humans were actually filmed.
