The thing with the show being about critiquing the Jedi order is that we haven’t had a single piece of live-action content since the original trilogy that isn’t about critiquing the Jedi order. Deconstruction needs to be the counterpoint to some construction; the name “Jedi” hasn’t had any positive reinforcement…

Look, I’m all for nuance in moral and ethical discussions, but this infatuation with “the grey” in Star Wars is getting annoying. It’s good for Jedi characters to be fully realized people and not just cookie cutter good guys, and it’s good for Sith to have motivations for what leads them down that path or things that…

Autonomous Robotaxis- this is how much the US hates the idea of just improving public transit. Like, seriously, you could take a fraction of the amount of cash it will take to develop a functional autonomous taxi and just invest in improved public transit everywhere. Oh look, we’ve made buses and trains and trams and…

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…

Another unedited, weirdly tangential Star Wars article stoking the false flame war between fans? Sam must need to pay a credit card bill or something and needs clicks.

This site’s constant, stupid editorializing about everything is obnoxious. The Last Jedi has a lot of problems—all three of the new ones did, though clearly Rise was the worst. At any rate it is not at all a perfect cinematic masterpiece.

Calling her critics misogynists is so amazingly reductive and dismissive of the criticisms of her tenure leading Star wars. It’s widely agreed that star wars owes its initial success to Marcia Lou Lucas, George Lucas’ wife during the filming of the original trilogy and an editor for the films. Marcia Lucas is why star…

Spotted the 800 SAT-scoring loser.

TLJ did well because it was at a time when people believed Disney had the ability to make a good Star Wars movie. People liked The Force Awakens to some degree and were still hopeful that Disney could turn this story into something meaningful. People came to see TLJ and it killed Star Wars for them. Its a terrible…

Thank you! Let’s not pretend TLJ didn’t deserve a lot of the criticism it has gotten. RJ wanted to “sUbVeRt tHe eXpEcTaTiOnS” and that can be well received, but when it doesn’t please don’t cry that the mob is after you. 

The Star Wars movies plans have been in a free-fall ever since the dork reaction to TLJ,

Seems like reminding some folks that Palestinians are human beings too and deserve to live and have their human rights respected as well makes them think you’re a Nazi, huh?

I’m surprised there are people still clamoring for a Rian Johnson trilogy.

Honestly, Rian Johson is such g’damn disaster... Incomparable. And he got off easy with the total acquittal for his cold, almost soulless crime dramas. And actually contrary to the common legend, all the nonsensical focus on Rey being played by a woman just saved him and was a distraction, instad of being even…

Well the idea that Jedi can come from anywhere, any family line, has been there since the beginning. Sure we focused on the Skywalkers but Kenobi and Yoda were completely different families/species. At the beginning of the Phantom Menace there were roughly 10k Jedi, 99.9999% of them not Skywalkers. I never understood…

and one of my deep sorrows about JJ’s ‘Force Awakens must reset the story to be Rebels vs Imperials again’ mindset is that it robbed us of actually seeing a functioning, growing New Jedi Order.

They might be able to make the plot point work but that would not make the movie any better.

Haven’t you beaten this dead horse enough? We get it, you love TLJ and everyone who didn’t are racists/misogynists/incels bla bla bla.

I suppose there is irony in the fact that for the rest of this man’s life, no matter what he does, he will never escape a single Star Wars thing he did years ago.

With carte blanche on the script, Rian Johnson could have had his whole movie focus on force sensitives.
