Yup. When Johnson gets to the part about “...something that’s emotionally resonant and feels like it connects up and makes sense and really gets to the heart of what this thing is” that’s where he completely and totally lost me.

The reality is, the people who hated the film are dramatically in the minority, no matter how loud they are online.

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…

People are entitled to their opinions but they are not entitled to be assholes by sending death threats to actors/directors/employees, attacking other people on the internet simply for having a differing opinion, and just generally being unbearable toxic “fans”.

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

True, the director of Empire was one of Lucas’ film school teachers.  And he did very well.

Absolutely false and stupid statement.

More like Star Wars fans are clamoring for something different that’s also actually good?
We got something different that but it was trash, why should anyone be happy about that?

But apparently by you logic if I ask you if you want vanilla icecream and you say you want a different…

I completely agree with Abrams. Star Wars strength is its simplicity. Telling people the things that they grew up loving for 40 years and have spent years theorizing about are meaningless and pointless was the wrong choice.

I don’t think JJ has and original idea bone his body. I can’t stand what he did with The Force Awakens. We waited literally decades to see Luke again and what does he do? Nothing. He did nothing. He gave me a bunch of new characters I don’t care about. Then teased Luke Skywalker for 30 seconds at the end of the film.…

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…

Any connection to Rituals, an old Canadian horror movie?

Well New Order came out of Joy Division, which was devastated by the loss of their previous leader, Ian Curtis.

Then read Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor’s Batman: Death By Design. It pretty much uses that Batman:

Also, Qyburn’s giant crossbow rocket launcher is terrible and looks like it belongs in Army of Darkness or Dragonheart or any of those ‘90s medieval fantasy movies where they have impossibly complex weaponry just to make it more badass, and the fact it was hidden in giant wagon that had collapsible walls was even…

This motherfucker is like a golem made of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
