Keep in mind, the above vid was published last April. So it was made months before it was announced that Rian was canned and JJ will be back as director for Episode 9.
Rian's directing (pushing blatant SJW postmodern feminism, with most of the men in the film either being incompetent or evil) was killing the Star Wars franchise. Even Luke, in TLJ, went full emo and his character lost direction/purpose... because he's a man and, of course, that makes him flawed by default! lol

That looks like the face of someone who is out to destroy Star Wars. On the fugliness scale, she's ranks... well, you know. lol The SJW-isms extend to video games too. For example, developer Beamdog "enhanced" the Bioware rpg classics Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 by changing the NPC's scripts to be more politically correct. Also, Beamdog's in-house prequel/sequel (timeline between BG 1 & 2) titled "Seige of the Dragonspear" is said to have a transgender love story. I can't confirm or deny the extent of this story in the game (maybe it's the central plot or a subplot), as I have no intentions of playing it. If Disney ever green-lights a KotOR sequel and/or remake, I hope that they don't push the developer to make the central story about gynocentrism or transgenders. Just saying, those particular topics don't interest me. Actually, I like strong female characters. But that's obviously different than portraying women as overwhelmingly superior to men. |

There comes a point where it just becomes pandering, and most people hate pandering, even the ones that are the target audience.

BS argument. Nobody here said that any of the previous Star Wars movies were apolitical.
In previous Star Wars films, the progressive politics wasn't there to such an extreme. It was there in JJ's TFA to be sure, but implemented much better (not to the point of being detrimental to the story or annoying the audience - i.e. not making most of the women superior and all men faulty in various ways, as they did in TLJ).

Critic consensus from Rotten Tomatoes for TLJ:
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi honors the saga's rich legacy while adding some surprising twists -- and delivering all the emotion-rich action fans could hope for."
I want to know how much the critics got paid to give this movie such reviews.
How did scenes like Luke tossing his father's lightsaber off a cliff and Ackbar being killed off meaninglessly "honor" the legacy of Star Wars?

It doesn't even honor the previous movie TFA via a lack of continuity and plot holes. Where the hell did Snoke come from and what's his backstory? He simply got killed off and swept under the rug, so to speak. Why did Luke leave behind an intricate map leading to his location (in TFA) and then say he didn't want to be found (in TLJ)?
Also, the saber battles are the worst in the franchise. I watched a youtube video breaking it down, frame by frame, and the fight choreography is embarrassingly bad.

They did kill off Han in TFA, but I think that was due to the fact that Harrison Ford didn't want to do Star Wars anymore.
Also I think I saw that same video, that lightsaber fight in Snoke's throneroom did have a lot of stupid mistakes. I remember at one point, one of the stuntmen misses their queue and is where they would actually be able to hit Rey, but at the last second they very obviously missed on purpose.
Also, I think it might've been mentioned in here, but if they really wanted to honor the legacy in any way, Admiral Ackbar should have been the one to kamikaze the ship into the Star Destroyers. Since it was the purple hair Laura Dern that did it, Ackbar should have survived so he can appear in the next one. He was one of the few alien characters from the old movies that was still there, along with Nien Nunb (he co-piloted the Millennium Falcon with Lando in Return of the Jedi).

My opinion on the movie has softened a bit over time, plus at work they play it every Friday from around 3 till closing time.
The director specifically stated the whole movie was about going against expectations, I wish they would have gone all the way and Rey would have have joined Kylo when he offered. I'm not sure how that would have played out, which is the point.
That said my biggest issue with Last Jedi isn't even the movie, its how politicized everything is. Similarly I am a huge fan of Dragon Age, even DA2 which pretty much everyone loathes, the criticisms are 100% accurate and as a game its 7/10 at best but I really like the apocalyptic and desperate feel of it and how it leads to a massive world wide civil war. It has interesting philosophical questions.
Get this tho, according to the "anti-SJW"(for lack of better word) gaming community I am not allowed to like Dragon Age, because it is an SJW game made by and for SJWs. I wish I was making that up. The merits of the game series are not what they bitch about, its the strong female characters and large amounts of LGBT representation. Its quite silly.

Well, you can have some SJW and still tell a decent story. JJ did it with TFA.
imo, with TLJ, the director and writers were so focused on the SJW agenda, they kinda forgot about the Star Wars side of the story (not honoring the lore, original characters, and even backgrounds of new characters). i.e. Snoke's background didn't matter and the audience only needed to know that he represented the evil patriarchy (and Leia + purple-haired lady represented the good matriarchy). lol

In all fairness, there are a few things that happen near the end that kind of redeem earlier things. Like when Leia (referring to Poe) tells everyone, "What are you looking at me for? Follow HIM!" - especially considering the way Holdo had treated him earlier.
Then after Luke gets a pep talk from Yoda's force ghost, he does show up (kind of) and even apologizes to Leia for not being there earlier, and even appears to have Anakin's blue lightsaber. Although the fact that he shows up as some kind of force projection was definitely breaking the lore (just like the ship going lightspeed into the Star Destroyers), then Luke is killed off anyway which didn't have to happen at all. Also I agree that it would've been far more interesting if Rey joined Kylo after Snoke was killed.
Overall, it's still my least favorite SW movie and should've better respected the saga. I still also hate that whole subplot with Finn and Rose, all they accomplished was to get caught and the Empire got tipped off about the escaping Rebel ships. Such a waste.
Also, might've already been mentioned but if you pay attention near the end, the Jedi books are aboard the Millennium Falcon, they can be seen briefly when Finn opens a drawer. I actually noticed it on my second viewing. I had already seen it, but a friend of mine wanted to go see it at the theater and wanted me to go too. I went reluctantly.

The ending was the best part of the movie, but it was still PC. Rose cock-blocked Finn from destroying the First Order's door buster weapon (for two SJW reasons). 1) So he wouldn't one-up Holdo as the primary self-sacrificing MVP of the story. 2) Rey could step in and the save the day by lifting tonnes of boulders at the base's hidden exit (despite her having almost zero force training).
Luke apologizing to Leia was an example of how men are supposed to white knight and show submissive behavior toward the womenz. lol

I vote Rose as the worst character in the movie. When you think about it, she almost single-handedly caused the demise of the Resistance by blocking Finn & preventing him from destroying the door buster weapon. Because the hidden exit was an unknown at that point (Rose presumably doesn't have the force powers and extrasensory perception that Rey possesses, so Rose was just making a dumb & blind call here and risking all their lives). If I recall correctly, they only happened upon the exit thanks to the ice wolf. Not to mention the extraordinary coincidence/luck that the exit even existed in the first place.

I just wanted to suckle on her big asian nipples because you just know she has those. I guess Finn'll find out soon enough.

When I saw Luke's X-wing submerged, I was hoping they would do like in TESB but this time he'd have Rey lifting it out as part of her training, then maybe it would be used later either by Luke or Rey in some battle. That would've been very fitting, and awesome to see this old classic X-Wing flying alongside the newer ones. However, I saw on my second viewing that Luke's X-Wing was actually destroyed.  I think the door to his hut was actually one of the wings from it. |

Not worth it... well, not if she's a deceptive, high maintenance biotch like the one I was with. Possible exception being if you have six figure income or greater. It's really a myth that women from poorer countries aren't interested in money, at least not the ones who've made it over to first-world countries and had a taste of the high life. |

One of the writers of Rogue One (Gary Whitta) recently criticized EA for canceling an upcoming open-world Star Wars game, saying that they have "catastrophically mismanaged" the Star Wars license which I agree with: www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2019/01/22/rogue-one-writer-says-ea-has-catastrophically-mismanaged-star-wars-games/#53dabbfe4ab4EA probably canceled it just because they couldn't figure out how to incorporate loot boxes into it. This game was said to be Star Wars Uncharted and at one point, the creator of Uncharted (Amy Hennig) was in charge of it. Maybe Disney will finally think twice about shutting down Lucasarts and about giving the license to EA. That may have been a much worse move than anything they've done with the movies, but I doubt they even care. |

The last Star Wars game that I'm aware of, Star Wars Battlefront II, got abysmal user scores... 1.1 That's bar none the lowest score I've seen on Metacritic. www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/star-wars-battlefront-ii |

Disney probably signed a deal with the devil (EA), so EA has exclusive rights to making Star Wars games for x number of years.

Personally, I'm done with purchasing anything SW for a while (until Disney gives up the IP or at least fires Kathleen Kennedy). imo, that's how bad it's become.
A new KotR game could've been an exception, but the idiot execs at Disney and EA don't seem to care or understand what the fans want.
