Billy Corgan should keep replying and just tagging Guy Fieri instead. 

““Well, that was a long time ago. I’m sure he’s forgotten about that.”

So, first of all, Del Toro’s character betraying our heroes *is* part of the narrative, not a dead end. I love that Johnson wrote a rogue character who doesn’t have a Han-like heart of gold, and the Del Toro character is the one who shakes the heroes’ faith by speaking to the perpetual and self-feeding conflict that…

I just can’t figure how Luke went from believing that his father, one of the most notorious and monstrous murderers in the history of the galaxy, was capable of redemption to where we saw him when he decided to kill Kylo.

It’s so fucking good.

people hating it (and their reasons for it) just made me love it even more.

the last jedi is my second-favorite star wars movie and is also hilarious. happy to see other people on the internet who agree, like everyone else i talk to in real life.

On no earthly scale was The Last Jedi “fucking terrible”. It’s a shame it split the fanbase (to at least some degree) by taking chances but that’s also exactly what people pretended to want after TFA. JJ Abrams must literally be thinking right now “how can I make EP9 so it’s surprising and challenging, and also…

And perhaps Luke had a force vision in the middle of the night of the impending threat, impulsively rushed into Ben’s room, and came to his senses. That’s perfectly in line with the character we’ve seen up to that point and it’s a very human response.

In the Star Wars universe, where a Jedi’s moment of weakness is considering the dark side, it is.  It’s the “Hitler as a baby” moment.  Luke couldn’t and wouldn’t do it, but for half a second the idea popped in his head.

Never going to get “cool” enough for most people. The EU for example started off wonderful... because the characters didn’t change, and everything interesting happened around them. But because of that it stagnated so they developed new characters (and that worked for a while, X-Wing series, etc) but then people…

“How would it ever make sense that an older, more powerful, more mature version of himself would look at an innocent nephew and think the exact opposite and try and murder him in his sleep?”

I see that, but the older I’ve gotten, the more I have shifted.

When you’re a kid, you want absolutes because they can be understood and you want perfection because it actually seems achievable. Kids don’t say I want to grow up to be Vasili Arkhipov, they want to be Superman. I think Rian was actually trying to convey…

I’m just completely dumbfounded at the claims made here, it is fully established not only that Luke is a flawed and might retreat but its a common thing for Jedi to do. Its heavily established that both Luke and his father have powerfully real force visions/premonitions, and in both cases these visions drove them to…

I would argue he did more than enough to justify Luke’s current state—his nephew, whom he probably felt like a father to, and the first true “heir” to the Skywalker & jedi line, turned (or was turning, or so Luke assumed). Worse, Luke, who is human and unsure of literally every move he’s making b/c the jedi are no…

All of this sounds horrible.

The issue, for me at least, is that Johnson doesn’t put in the runtime and effort to make his changes fit into what came before.

I’ll agree on pacing. At moments the shifts are jarring and even a little bit counter to the narrative, but it’s not exactly a new problem for star Wars.

He also calls it a “laser sword” because he’s being a gloriously sarcastic prick about it.

Dissatisfaction with Luke’s storyline is a complaint I don’t share but that I can most understand. The now-non-canon EU built him up into a ridiculous badass, and even non-EU fans have had 30 years to imagine how powerful and epic Luke has gotten, so to find him as a hermit with an attitude was jarring and, to some,…
