- You may be noticing the color grading and grain on some of the footage. That's so Disney doesn't try to demonetize me. Apologies :^)
I would have liked to really analyze the movie but I prefer for the movie to be out so I can really dig in. If the demand is there next year, I'll go through it again.

Rip to all those reasons Marcus liked Rey being nobody
Childish Memebino ah shit
Childish Memebino I haven’t seen the new one yet so hearing this is disappointing
@@melon502 Yeah it was honestly a cop out. You'll know when you see it.
SPOILERS (obviously) Despite me thinking TROS was a pretty bad movie over all, and that it did retcon Rey’s unimportant parents, I think of all the people to have Rey be related to, Palpatine was probably the best choice... as long as you don’t make a timeline in your head. How old is Sheev!?
Isaiah Davis
Apparently 117 years...
I think it was great learning something new about him we didn’t already know. He actually did have children. However I don’t think this was done very nicely and out of love... I think he went more about it like Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Seducing (or worse) unwitting women to sire his children to ultimately use them for his own selfish purposes. What exactly this was and how exactly this went about, is a question left for the inevitable Sheev novel to answer...

I know Luke’s death was super moving, but I almost laughed because it reminded me of Oogway disintegrating into cherry blossoms from Kung Fu Panda
Ruben Colon oh Kung Fu Panda is a total masterpiece and I adore it but Oogway’s death always kind of cracked me up for some reason and I can’t really place why. Maybe it’s reminiscent of the whole
“My job here is done”
“But you didn’t do anything”
*leaves*
@@ThatCyndi the reason why Oogway had to go was because if he didn't then he would've stopped Tai Lung which would've meant that Shifu never learned from his mistakes and Po would never have become the Dragon Warrior.
God dammit not going to be able to watch that scene with a straight face anymore
CyndiMi well congrats for ruining one of my favorite death scenes of all time
Wasnt as well done as Kung Fu Panda tho
I actually think more people would have been ok with the disillusioned Luke if we’d ever been given the chance to see Master Luke at some point, even years prior. The one unfortunate thing about the films is that we’ve never gotten to truly see a peak Light side user in action, even in flashback. I understand why narratively with the timeframe each frame takes place in though.
I agree. Relying too much on flashbacks is not necessarily great storytelling, but give us something at least... to me the continuity between the Empire era and this new era is just ... underwhelming. The trajectory of the New Republic, Luke's attempt at rebuilding the Jedi, the rise of Snoke. It seems like a whole lot happened in the intervening years, but somehow we end up with a status quo that is very similar to the Empire era.
We wouldn't need much, mind. I personally don't necessarily have to know who Snoke is, just something that tells me the stakes. I want to know what was lost/ can be lost, and what can be regained/must be defended.
In a new hope we only really learn that there used to a republic, in a more civilised galaxy, and then a big war in which much was lost. That's pretty much it. However, Obi-wan perfectly embodies the kind of elegance and "magic" that was lost. Same with the Empire. We really don't need to know where the Emperor came from or how the Republic fell, because we can extrapolate from the workings, the aesthetics and representatives of the Empire we see in the films. It's a military dictatorship and that's a concept we recognise.
The new movies go for the same kind of stakes, with a new version of a military dictatorship, but it's clearly a watered-down version. It's no longer a galactic empire, its aesthetics have lost their novelty and its representatives seem to be mimicking the characters in a New Hope in almost every way. Nice bit of circular symmetry, but it rather undermines the stakes.
Ironically, it's the cantina scene in the Last Jedi where Ryan Johnson tries to reinforce and reframe the stakes of the new movies, showing us corruption and oppression and suggesting there is a different kind of galaxy (more civilised perhaps?) worth fighting for. The reason this feels a bit out of place is not because it's political, but because it's unclear how it fits in the conventional republic vs empire framework. We don't automatically associate the visuals of exploitative capitalism with the Empire (even though it's a fundamental part of imperialism). We probably associate it more with contemporary liberal democracies (which is what the republic is supposed to be). At the very least, the new republic has not been able to do anything about the corruption and oppression we see. Which brings us back to continuity.
It would have been great if we got to see version of Luke fighting against oppression (freeing slaves with lightsaber in hand for example), got to see Leia trying to build a better kind of galactic government, before it all went wrong. Crucially, I don't think it should ever have been Snoke that was the reason (even though Leia suggests as much to Han). It's fine if Snoke was only ever a symptom of the kind of potential for evil that exists in all human endeavours, whether it be governments or jedi orders. Again, the point is not that we need to know more about Snoke. The point of getting a glimpse of what went wrong after the Empire's defeat is to help us understand the stakes.
This! I hated last Jedi when it came out, when it was pointed out to me my main complaints were that Luke wasn't behaving like he would have in his 40s... I watched TLJ with "fresh eyes" after that, and liked it much more.
That hyperdrive shot was the best visual in the entire sequel trilogy, hands down
Even though it makes absolutely no sense, and destroys the concept of hyperdrive.

As flawed as this movie is, you can't deny that the movie is beautifully shot. There are some really incredible visuals in this one.
I completely agree. Movies beautiful. I will never deny that. Movies still fucking terrible.
With Disney bucks you can't expect any less.
@@ArchierounD I wouldn’t say money can buy great cinematography.
Lol so are so many other CGI slogfests… that means nothing
Definitely. Visuals are but half the battle of film making however. It could be beautiful but if the characters and plot are bad then it overall failed as a film.
I loved that Rey was no one special.
Me too , her being a palpatine felt dumb to me because heroes can come from anywhere, they don’t have to be always related to known characters , that part of the heroes journey ( in my opinion) , in the mandelorian, we don’t know who the child is related to and I’m ok with that , same as other people, but people wanted wanted Rey to be related because they wanted an explanation to why Rey is a Mary Sue ( which I don’t believe Rey is a Mary Sue because , the reasons to what she dose are explained in the movies) and now we’re stuck with Rey Palpatine,

now, this is an opinion i can get behind.
If Luke didn’t act how he did, and just trained Rey, everyone would say it’s a ripoff of Yoda,
Arthur Guilherme yea but this way is more interesting in my opinion
Arthur Guilherme I feel you, but Luke ran away because he was scared to make any more mistakes and so nobody could turn out like him, making more mistakes.
@Arthur Guilherme Luke regretted trying to kill Ben. Luke thought that if he would try to help, he would just makes things worse. He tried to get rid of the problem by killing Ben (which he realized was the biggest mistake), and it led to Kylo Ren’s rise, making the galaxy suffer.
Arthur Guilherme ok, so what’s the alternative here, because what else is he supposed to do at the island, cause JJ is the one who made Luke hiding on a rock?
@Arthur Guilherme Yoda told Luke not to rush and yet he did. He paid the price for it by losing his hand. At that time, the consequences aren’t really that huge (since you can get a replacement). Thirty years later, he rushed into ending the Sith or something, and this time, the consequences are huge. He is partially or even mainly the reason why Ben turned to the Dark side. In the end, Yoda teaches him a lesson, to learn from his mistakes and do something about it. He faced Kylo Ren, giving Resistance enough time to escape and to teach Ben a lesson. Kylo Ren was rushing to kill Luke while Luke was patient, learning from his mistake of rushing.
Poe running a mutiny was the only logic thing considering Holdo was seemingly sending the whole crew into certain death
Not telling Poe the plan was logical since he had already proven he couldn't be trusted to follow orders. Poe should have been pushed out of an airlock after the first scene.
@@inspectorwinship9538 How exactly is not telling the guy who prioritises the safety of the resistance to the point where he defied orders to ensure they wouldn't all be annihilated by a big-fuck-off "fleet-killer" about your entirely reasonable plan to evacuate their guys to not-Hoth which requires him to do literally nothing but sit on board and chill, and instead act really fucking suspicious whilst giving him the impression you're leading everyone to their fiery deaths "logical"?
@@alexmelling5261 He was demoted so no longer part of command, and he had already gotten the entirety of the fleet destroyed by disobeying direct orders from his general in scene 1. I wouldn't trust him to lead a team in Fortnight after that. By running a shadow operation behind Leia's back, he lead the Emp...1st Order right into discovering the evacuation plan, getting more people needlessly killed. The mistrust was logical AND justified.
@@inspectorwinship9538 She was literally just saying "I have a plan. Trust me.", then killed herself in a shitty attempt to redeem her characrer. How is Poe in the wrong here.
@@jacko2244 He wasn't part of command anymore! He was demoted because he disobeyed orders, leading to every bomber, and most fighters, in the fleet being destroyed. He didn't need to know the plan, he was just supposed to follow his commanding officer's orders, which he'd already proven he was unwilling to do.
“Rey comes from nothing and turns out to be a great hero... The Force can rise up and grow stronger in anybody, regardless of their bloodline.”
Me, after watching TROS: Oh well, so much for that idea.
I was so fucking disappointed when they revealed she was a Palpatine. I would be as disappointed if she was related to anybody else. I just love the idea that she was nobody and the thematic implications that carries. It kind of ruins that by making her a Palpatine.

Rip everyone who waited two years just to see Luke drop the lightsaber
I saw a hilarious edit (taken down by Disney now unfortunately) where they linked the ending of TFA with the beginning of TLJ. The Force theme swells and emotions run high.... then Luke says lol nah and the saga dies
For the hyperdrive argument, the main reason people are mad is because the implication that someone can actually destroy an entire fleet with one ship is bad writing.
Oh look, the second death star is charging up, just send a ship straight at the center in hyperdrive.
Oh no, they’re still producing droids on Geonosis? Well, how about a 4 ship hyperdrive party.
I mean, the maneuver is clearly shown to be created by Holdo, and is named after her. I have more of a problem with TROS never using it again and never stating the reason why it can't be used again. It has lead to this becoming divisive so to me, since TROS brought it up and never explained it, it's more of a flaw with that movie and not this one.
That description: "You either think it's the best movie since Empire or you think Rian Johnson violated you and murdered your childhood right in front of you"...was perfect.
@midgetydeath I'd be interested in seeing a scientific poll on the subject. I'm one of the freaks that actually enjoys this new trilogy, and I've run into a lot more sequel fans than you have.

@@kvhd5868 i dont believe anything doesnt have faults, the difference is that was a new property at the time it had no rules to go by so the faults that are there are minimal in comparison.
the new trilogy does, it has to go by the established rules of the universe, if it didnt it would be a 1000% times better because it would all make sense. but its star wars therefore it has to go by those rules and it doesnt

@@thepriorstone4064 So I read that you like rey being nobody and thought you'd like this, it's my perfectly resonable headcannon that palpatine lied to rey about her heritage. He's evil, he lies, he knows how to manipulate people cos he can basically read minds, he knows rey is desperate for family so it's pretty fair to say this is something he would do.
That's my theory, I love rey being a nobody, and honestly it kinda makes more sense that shes "all the jedi" if the force chose her to defeat palpatine.
One of my main problems is how it makes the galatic conflict feel so small
Killing younglings is a skywalker right of passage
also why did luke leave a map to himself if he wanted to be a grumpy hermit
So people could send him blue milk through space Amazon.
Because JJA made TFA a little too convoluted
It’s cuz the map is to the first Jedi temple and people knew that’s where he went
Stevey Pizza He didn’t
He made the map just in case the galaxy was in deep danger so people could find him
I feel the same way about Finn. I liked Finn in TFA...and now I think he has been completely wasted
I hope they somehow fix him in episode 9
I don’t think so. In TFA he discover the “who to fight for” with Rey and in this movie he discovers the “what to fight for” by going to the casino planet. He now believes he should do the right thing. He makes the decision to sacrifice himself, which is a heroic unselfish decision. But, since it was a fake out we can further explore Fin. But the fact he made that decision was enough to show where he’s at now, it doesn’t matter whether it worked or not.
ny_kia31 he didn’t die In that scene, he didn’t get wasted
I hate rose for stopping his heroic death
Same
I dont think Luke wanting to kill his Nephew is realistic of his character at all thats peoples problem with it not because hes flawed
Thank you for the analysis of Luke! I've always loved what they did with him in this movie, but it's really hard to say that when the other person pulls out the "my childhood hero" card.
I hate how admiral Akbar died off screen, I mean we didn't really know shit about him but the memes made me care about him I guess
He didn't die offscreen, we see him get blown up on the bridge.
I'm surprised people feel anything about Akbar. He's pretty much just a meme and you can hold your breath through his entire trilogy screen time.
I feel like Holdo could have been replaced by Akbar if he survived but I really liked the movie.
JurzGarz out of focus.
Ackbar was actually an important part of the star wars trilogy
I walked out of the movie thinking it was solid and surprising and my friend started screaming about how Rian Johnson personally raped him and murdered his will to live.

Yeah I fully agree the spinning lightsabers are BS. I’m not trying to defend it in anyway. Same with the Holdo hyperspace Kamikaze. The existence of that maneuver destroys every space battle that has & ever will exist in the future of Star Wars. From now on we’ll be thinking, _”just do a Hyperspace Kamikaze.”_ I’m just making a point that Cosmonauts incredibly hypocritical, & has no consistency. He’s just one of those simple minded viewers that think, _”Well it didn’t bother me. So it must not really be a problem.”_ Even though it very well may be. That’s all I’m saying.
@@jahadmii706 The last film already explained it.
Holdo just tried to run away, stealing the ship in the process, but stumbled upon one-in-a-million chance of destroying Snoke's ship.
Saying "don't judge a fantasy for breaking rules, it's about wizards and shit lol" is reductionist. We want it to be internally consistent, to stick to it's OWN rules.
It’s doing that though. It hasn’t broken any rules.
Yeah, sure it hasn't. Like when both sides of the Force have to suddenly balance each other out, when in the Prequels it was established that the Jedi and the Light Side are serenity, so the Sith have to be destroyed due to the fact that the Dark Side feeds on pain and emotion.
Didn't the Prequels introduce the concept of balancing the force in the first place though?
Bent7793 yes by destroying the Sith, that's why Obi says to Anakin "you were supposed to destroy the Sith not join them!" Balance was wiping out evil.
Brandon Patterson the true meaning of bringing balance to the Force was never established. In the AOTC novelization it specifically states that even the Jedi themselves aren't entirely sure what it means.

It's so interesting to see this video six years later and know what Star Wars has become. The hope for a new direction and themes in this video is so inspiring
I think the hyperdrive seen was really pretty and conceptual HOWEVER, the reason people don’t like this is because at that rate every space battle would end with the side that had more ships hyperdriving into shit. Like the droids would have won they could just fly at all be Jedi and clone ships.
I’m starting to realize that I really need to not read reviews about Star Wars movies anymore. I’m realizing that I have a tendency to change my opinion very easily when presented with someone else’s thoughts on the movie. I liked Last Jedi when I first saw it, but when I saw all the outcry, I slowly started to dislike it, and now I want to like it but just can’t.
Same
I thought it was a mixed bag with some shining moments and some mess ups as well. It wasn't consistently dull, I liked the hyperspace ram from an audio visual perspective as well as the effects. They messed up with the writing though. 6.2/10 Not the worst movie ever but it sure could've been better.

I hate this argument. This is my only gripe in this video. The Emperor doesn't need an explanation because there is no preceding lore at the point of his introduction. We as an audience can just buy into who and what he is without asking where he came from.
In the case of Snoke, there are seven movies worth of stories that preceed his existence. In Return Of The Jedi the Empire is defeated, Darth Vader is dead, The Emperor is dead. The rule of two (siths) was established in The Phantom Menace, so we can safely assume that the sith are dead.
And then Snoke shows up. Of course that raises questions, which are entirely valid to have, in my opinion.
Bram R that's exactly how I feel everytime i heard those argument.
Because of the gap of time between ep 6 and ep 7, I can assume Snoke's rise to power was long and complicated. I didn't care to see it. I cared that he seduced Ben to the dark side and that his death furthered Kylo's story.I guess its the time gap that makes me not care. If there was a different emperor in ep 6 than Palpatine, I'd be really confused and want answers. If that makes sense.
I agree. I imagine we'll get some information on Snoke's backstory from Kylo ruminating in the next film, or perhaps he will come back as a sassy force ghost that will exposit on his backstory and torment his killer a bit. However, I do agree, it's not the most satisfying way it could have happened. That being said, I also really appreciate how he was killed off, both for just how shocking a twist it was, but also because we see him be genuinely outwitted by Kylo.
Ye boi. I LOVED the movie, and I completrly disagree on some key points made by people who disliked it (Rey's parents, Luke's "assholiness", Kylo's childish character), but Snoke is as ex-machina as it gets.
To make things worse, he is just a typical, no, wait, he is THE typical fantasy villain, who is just overpowered bc writers said so and who just wants to infinitely rule everything for the sake of being EVIL YAAHRR (I mean, Kylo's line at the end where he offers Rey to rule the galaxy together made me bleed from the facepalm, but even that plays into Kylo's character as an infantile wannabe cool guy who hasn't came up with his own view of the world yet). Even tho the new trilogy has GREAT and very original characters (judging by the standards of modern mainstream action cinema, of course). And Snoke is just... Pure dissapointment. Hope the next episode will tell us at least something that will make sense.
Actualy the movie explains a little how the light and dark side of the force need eachother to exist as said by (i think) luke.
Luke is strong on the light side and he is training a new order.
Being this the case one can asume how snoke darkness came to balance lukes light.
The same i think with Ben and Rey

Actually it is. The fanbase is split because of Kylo Ren, as they can't decide if he's a good character or not.

Ha!

James Fitzpatrick no
MINIMOOSE yes
Nah, the best one would be the one in MY head
Same story for everyone
Wrong, it's actually A New Hope.
The problem about Luke is not that is flawed: I like that. But do you really believe that the person who did everything to redeem Darth Vader - whom has done incredibly bad things - would kill his nephew for having a thought about the “dark side”? That’s what’s out of character.
Re: Rey - it’s not that she’s not related to someone famous, it’s the fact that she’s overpowered for no reason. Anakin is overpowered but is supposedly the “chosen one”, and Luke is the “chosen one’s son”. I’d have been ok with the idea that there’s multiple chose ones (maybe in different civilisation are identified differently) and Rey being connected to that line of chosen ones. However having her being so powerful without struggles (both Anakin and Luke still go through many struggles even if chosen ones) is what made me dislike this.
While I can see your point about Luke Skywalker (and I 100% agree that the movie isn’t perfect) I don’t understand the criticism that he acts out of character because I believe that that’s the point of the movie. You’re never supposed to take what he did and agree with it, you’re supposed to look at his actions as “out of character.” Btw, I agree with your points about Rey, I just wanted to address the argument against Luke.
@@zombiefiedjem5113 I get what you’re saying, but I believe it’s a matter of semantics. When I say “out of character” I mean “looking at all of Luke’s history, the way he acts in this movie does not make sense from a logical perspective”. Of course in the movie it was written to be like this, so within the context of TLJ he’s “in character”. The problem is that TLJ does not consider the OT character development and when you look at Luke over all the 6 films (OT + ST), then TLJ sticks out like a sore thumb.
Again, it’s the same reason why I didn’t like Reva as a character: from a logical standpoint of how you would expect someone to act/react, they don’t make sense:
Luke does everything to save the second most evil person in the galaxy, but wants to kill his nephew for having remote dreams about following his grandpa footsteps.
Reva wants to kill children to raise in the ranks of Inquisitors to kill Vader because he kille children.
I honestly can’t see how these motivations can even make sense to the writers…
@@fvaudio character assassination is hip and cool apparently
I just can't get over that Luke's big plan for learning how bad Ben was was to sneak into his bed in the dead of night with his weapon and read his mind. That's insane. That's wild. Why couldn't we have seen flashbacks to the temple and Ben doing dark stuff that worried Luke and necessitated some kind of confrontation? We had time for fucking Canto Bight but not, y'know, some backstory on our main villain's reasons for hating Luke?
Luke told rey he had “sensed his darkness” and “seen it in moments in his training” i think that’s enough motivation for him to look into his mind. Also he didn’t walk into Bens hut with the intent of killing him.
M8 did u imply the podracing scene was anything but a work of art
TRUTH! It was epic and I like it to this day.
The podracing scene felt like two hours of watching a camera pan from left to right over and over.
@@McSuperfly101 At least the pods could turn right! :D
The lonesome death of Ratts Tyerell, his death scream, and the "BLAURRRRGH" scream of that weird crocodile gleep-glop are in fact the peak of the prequels.
Hmm I think this is satire, but the comments are replying to it seriously, however that could be satire too. Am I being double woooshed?
Not liking this movie is fine and perfectly reasonable.
Being a horrible douche about it and sending people death threats isn't.
But apparently this is a foreign concept to some people.
The fuck you mean no proof? The hate was all over her instagram page after the movie released.
so, basically, this is the second time she received vitriol?

Fact
There is NO sequel trilogy.
Gordon IWK
I’ll accept Rogue One, that’s it.
These aren`t the stars movies you are looking for
This video was on point save for the bits about the Luke dissent. Folks weren't angry because Luke was no longer his overpowered-Expanded-Universe-self. Folks were perplexed because the compassionate Jedi Knight who brought DARTH VADER back from the dark side, decided he couldn't do it again when he had some bad visions about Ben Solo--then considers killing the boy in his sleep.
Is there a storyline that could have the broken Luke that we got in TLJ? Sure. Was that story depicted in TLJ? No. It was not. It was irrational and, yes, OOC. It's going to take a whole lot more than bad dreams to make Luke a self-exiled hermit who can see no good in the world AT ALL.
I also disagreed with his point about the hyperspace kamikaze. It pretty much invalidates every space battle fought anywhere in any SW movie, and is probably the single biggest plot hole in TLJ.
Think about it. A single ship with a single crewman (or droid) can destroy a whole fleet by hyperspace suicide. This should be the prominent tactic of the smaller force in any space battle.
Star Wars fan opinion is so varied. Because the hyperspace jump scene was astounding.
Antoine luke is a lot of things to a lot of people... but vader is his dad..of course hes gonna try to bring him back to the light. also he was much younger and full of hope...its kinda like how yoda deeply believed in the jedi way, but then gave up on it and went into exile because of his overwhelming guilt and getting so many jedi killed.... luke made a mistake and felt guilty just like yoda. he inspired kylo to kill all his students he helped kylo turn to the dark. just like yoda and the other masters help push anikin into darkness. its really good writing tbh. it fits in the lore i think its pretty rational.
btw Antonie i love your videos! they are dope af
@thatguy i also thought about that!! ...thats not really a problem with the movie more a funny plot hole of star wars in general...i mean there is no reason to fight like WWII jets in space lmao. why do they have wings? hahahah also gun systems would be fired from much much much futher away...thats hella funny
Too be fair, compare Yoda from Prequals and OT and you see that Luke went the same way. You look at Luke seeing the GOOD in Vader and believing in him, but in Kylo he was seeing the DARK and had no idea how to handel it. After that, he blamed himself for letting his SISTERS son become evil while also be responsible for everything that happened. That kind of stuff will destroy even the strongest person.
My ranking:
1. Empire, do i have toe explain?
2. New Hope, again do i have to explain?
3. Solo, really fun action movie with a unique plot to star wars, very grounded and all around just fun to watch
4. Force awakens, again just a fun movie not too deep like solo
5. Return of the jedi, middle chunk especially with ewoks is bad and the beginning is meh but otherwise great
6. The last Jedi, Lots of extreme highs and lots of extreme lows
7. Revenge of the Sith, very fun but ultimately empty movie befcause these characters are robots and i dont care abt them
8. Rogue One, I cant name a single character in this movie but that second half is just wow
9. Rise of skywalker, not a very good movie, I like when the main trio is together but thats it, also cool new force abilities but otherwise rly bad
10. Attack of the Clones, only thing that keeps me awake is the sudden action, so boring omg
11. Phantom Menace, I am legit in a coma watching this

@redwill17 Let's put it this way: You tell me, a waiter at your favorite restaurant, to get you your favorite food dish on the menu. I then give it to you, but it is undercooked, raw, is missing ingredients, and I basically toss the plate in front of you. You then complain that it's not a good one, but I then reply to that with "But it's your favorite. Wow, the only ones who love this dish are the ones who hate it and complain about it all the time."
People who complain about star wars are fans who want to see GOOD star wars movies. We criticize it because we have high standards of what we like. We don't want crappy movies in which logic and reason is sidelined for spectacle. If I have a favorite movie franchise and it makes a crappy movie, I'll complain because I expected better from a franchise I love.

Marcus was actually right.
I feel like after Rise of Skywalker, people have realised they're hatred for this movie went way too far to the point where Disney literally made a sequel to piss off the least amount of fans and now people accept it as alright. (I hope I'm right)
I think you are correct. And it's sad because TROS could have simultaneously been really huge with all the lines that 7 and 8 set up. But in an effort to piss off the least amount of people, they made it profoundly mediocre, and IMO, the worst (I still liked it, mind you!) film of the saga.
@@Sohbek agreed I take good story over overChorography fight

Deadly Doughty ikr People are complaining about tlj but episode 2 was way worse
Because the god damned hyperspeed ramming is incredibly overpowered and should have been the only thing ever used in combat, Star destroyers, the death star and starkiller base are completely useless compared to it and the whole star wars universe begins to fall apart. Why build the death star when you could just launch ships of even rocks/asteroids at planets AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Everything's meaningfulness just completely falls apart when compared to such a feet that even the most bog-standard ships are now capable of. It also shits all over the old cannon, where hyperspace is a sort of different dimension through which one can travel at a much faster rate compared to their own. Its just an example of Disney fucking previously accepted star wars logic for a cool scene with flashy special effects.
DreamBigPig I think it's not that simple. The ships start moving at lightspeed before they make the jump to hyperspace, so they are still moving through physical space before they warp into the other dimension. It would probably cost a lot of money/resources and lives, as well as be incredibly difficult to aim, if they were to use vessels with hyperspace drives as projectile weapons on a regular basis. Does that help?

And any regard for plot at all.
The one think I can’t stand about fanboys is that they don’t think characters can change.
nah
That was a dramatic change for Luke. This is the guy who was trying to talk Vader, an extremely ruthless, evil man responsible for slaughtering anyone who slightly inconvenienced him, into returning to the light side because of his faith in his own father. You really think he'd just change that optimism and try to kill his own nephew instead of trying to help him?
it's not that luke changed: it's that they treated his change like a fucking joke for a big chunk of the movie, they played the grumpy old man angle so hard i felt really alienated by it, and all it took was throwing a lightsaber in an attempt at comedic timing, and the milking scene
it adds up, and gets annoying as hell
The more time passes, the more I apreciate Ryan Johnson's boldness in grabbing Star Wars and trying to do something new and free the next generation from the past heroes. You can't move a franchise forward only telling the stories from past heroes
The plot he came up with horrible and destroyed every plot point from TFA. You can't say that's "freeing the next generation" when you destroy Luke Skywalker and troll the audience for being invested in the story with useless plot twists that make no sense

My main complaint is that Rian Johnson threw away a lot of plot elements and ideas that JJ Abrams was setting up in The Force Awakens
Daniel A.
Episode ix still exists and jj is taking care of that
It doesnt mean that he isn't going to resolve them in the third one. They always knew there were going to be three of them so the presentation of events and character development is different. For example Kylo Ren not being a complete bad ass from the beginning.
how do you know he threw away plot elements. Lucasfilm has had a pretty solid idea of the direction that these films would take, in addition to the directors/writers, since before the force awakens began filming. JJ Abrams made his movie with a pretty good idea of what would happen in the plot of the last Jedi.
Stephen McNeil Rian Johnson tweeted, months before TLJ came out, that they had no story direction beyond TFA.
Jek yeah that's why I'm looking forward to it
I know this is an old video but...I can't agree that this is the first Star Wars film since RotJ to have themes. The prequel trilogy, quality aside, was about fascism, arrogance, etc. Its themes are arguably more present that the OT's themes, just not nearly as well presented.

Nah, it's nothing special. I thought it was okay too. But his "bad points" are shit, like Poe being a moron, considering the movie literally proves him right later on.
Agree with the Luke thing, though.
Pepper Millers Poe is a moron and moreover died on Jakku when he and Finn crashed.
He is, but he was still right. The Casino crysis could've (maybe) been averted if the purple haired bitch told him the plan. Hell, he is literally proven right when the order starts shooting the escaping ships. At least the bitch died. He was an idiot, but I rooted for him more than Leia and whatever-her-name-was.
True, admiral Holdup was an incredibly stupid character, and she should have just told everyone her plan. But I still wish Poe had died in the beginning of TFA, as it would have made Finn's story more interesting. He would have had to shoulder the responsibility of Poe's mission, and therefore a cause he knew nothing about, but felt obligated to honor Poe's sacrifice. If this had been a theme in TFA, Finn attempting to finish Poe's mission and avenge the guy who saved him, I would have enjoyed it much more.
I get your point but you don’t really understand why people are mad about the hyperdrive scene. For many people Star Wars isn’t just dump and funny but a big part of their life. They kind of live in Star Wars and distract themselves from their hard everyday life. It is normal that these people are mad when someone completely breaks the in-universe-rules. I was already mad when they told me that the first order reigns. I mean how could this happen in like a few days? Where is The New Republic? It doesn’t make any sense🤷🏼♂️

Just saying... Imagine OT Luke, with only Obi Wan and Yoda as Jedi examples, suddenly finding out what happened in the Prequels. About the rest of the Jedi, how they failed to see the dark rise in front of them, and how they failed his father. And then realizing all you've been teaching your nephew about the force is probably wrong and he, strong with the dark side as his grandfather, could become the next Vader. I would have had a moment of doubt and weakness then, if I were him.
Darth Lily DUDE EXACTLY
imagine that being set up, but they didn't it comes off clunky
I like this perspective. It sheds even more light on Luke and offers considerations that flew by too fast for me to consider in detail.
jiin6 It's all implied, but Luke legit calls out how the Jedi Council failed to snuff out Darth Sidious before he grew to destroy the Jedi, because of their hubris and arrogance. It's implied that Luke knows that the Jedi are the architects of their own destruction through the rise of Sidious and Anakin's fall.
EXACTLY! In order to appreciate TLJ, one must appreciate the prequels in how they portrayed the Jedi as arrogant Elitists that failed to see the threat in front of them.
I personally disagree with snoke and rey. Rey doesn’t need to be obi wans daughter or Luke’s daughter, but they shouldn’t have just blatantly said that her parents were nothing after hyping them up. And for snoke yes, I agree that we didn’t know anything about palpatine until the prequels, but they shouldn’t relive that same mistake.
And the hyperdrive thing was FUCKING AMAZING. But they should’ve used Admrial Akbar instead of whoever the pink haired women was.
Akbar died right?
GewoonRood he died when the Bridge was blown up. (When Leia was almost killed too)
It should have been Leia, tbh.
Fans hyped Rey's parents up. Disney didn't.. Daisey Ridley said herself it was obvious who her parents were since the first movie, and if you focus on that in TFA, she is right.
R.W. Yoho Snoke is dead what's there to learn.
The issue with the hyper drive weapon isn’t the fantasy space physics involved. It’s that it’s something that has apparently existed in this universe this whole time, but never been used as a weapon for some reason. There are several big evil machines in this series that apparently could be destroyed or seriously damaged by small hyper drive ships that are apparently plentiful in this universe. It’s a good movie scene, but it’s an awful Star Wars scene.
Yoda un episode 2 for Marcus: Character assasination
Luke in TLJ for Marcus: Good
Sorry, not being anti-war in a prequel and then learning is more believable than abandoning your friends after believing in Vader.
Poe’s choices in my opinion actually made a lot of sense
He decides to fight the dreadnought, and destroy it instead of running away, and he does destroy it getting rid of a powerful cruiser, and thusly weakening the first order, and killing a ton of troops in exchange for only a handful of bombers, and their crew. This decision is a tactical victory that any sane commander would make 10 times out of ten
Then he mutinies because the Admiral of the ship is doing nothing but sitting on her hands, and is refusing to tell Poe the second highest ranking officer there. Or anyone else what her plan is while ships are being destroyed. In Poe’s mind Holdo is Either Incompetent, Crazy, or a Traitor trying to get them all killed
Yup
I think the worst scene was when Leia should clearly be dead in space, and then uses the force to get back on the ship..
Luke Goodman That scene should have been scrapped.
That’s nitpicking. If something like that is the worst part, then the movie is essentially a masterpiece.
No matter how much i like that movie, that scene will always be stupid
The idea of the scene is great, it should've been executed with much more gentle movements to make it not look weird. I still like it though.
I gotta admit my eyebrow was raised and my jaw started opening as that scene played out. I was shocked.
But it was fucking great. It was surprising and made the force exciting again. We had been getting hints that Leia was force sensitive. Plus she is a skywalker so it's not like it came out of nowhere.
2:43 there’s also the fact that after Finn finnished his TFA arc of learning to fight, not run, he got his BACK SLICED OPEN BY HIS FORMER BOSS. I get why you’d think Finn took a step back here, but I find it believable that after almost dying for the Resistance, he regresses a little and starts only caring about his own life and his friend’s.
I do think it wasn’t the best choice Rian could’ve made for Finn. I think he’d have been smart enough to realize his arcs feel like the same ones repeated, so Canto Bight confuses me more than it enraged me. I do love that he tried to make income inequality a motif in the trilogy, but he did it by sending 3 characters to a Great Gatsby Planet and making them chat about why war is bad. I like that Finn has something important to learn from this new female character, but you’re right that it makes less sense than Finn galvanizing Rose against the FO. Maybe since Paige Tico died in the beginning, Rose has run out of reasons to stay in the Resistance and tells the FO where the fleet went, and THAT’S why the Supremacy has lightspeed tracking, apparently. Then Finn explains on Cantonica why the FO is bad, and Rose has to eventually double-cross the FO back to redeem herself. I’m glad Kelly Marie-Tran got at least a little exposure. It fuckin’ sucks that horrible bigots cyberbullied her for decisions that Rian Johnson made.
I think what bugs me the most about this movie is that it plays with good and evil, and grey morality. And it was really interesting to watch until the 3rd act put it all back to simple good vs evil. I really thought we'd be getting a side switch with Rey and Kylo since they were playing with that morality. And it seems Rey might be a lil bad. And Kylo has been struggling since VII between light and dark. But nah, he goes back to screaming evil and she goes back to effortless savior.
I agree, I thought we'd see a double turn. When Rey and Kylo are in the elevator and they see each other turn, the whole movie feels like it is set up for them both to be right. Rey stops being a follower of footsteps never meant for her, and takes the First Order. Kylo, having finally given in to the light, doesn't want to go back even if it's with her.
Just a giant shame, what could have been.
Mark Hamill has stated he was upset in the way Luke is portrayed in TLJ and made his feelings known to Rian Johnson. Mark knew this would cause some controversy and he was right.
Mark Hamill also said in the same interview that he was entirely willing to be proven wrong/change his mind about the direction Rian took his character. Mark was similarly weary about Luke's portrayal in TFW, but now loves how it turned out.
Except he is fine with it now
He was disappointed that Luke and Han never got a scene together in TFA he said it was a great opportunity missed and it was.
He didn't say he was upset about the portrayal but that he dissagreed with the direction, he even said that after he let rian johnson know that he disargreed he then told the director that since he got it off his chest he will portray the character as asked. He recognized and accepted that he had no control, he vented and then moved on.
Cheeseycurve 54, in cinema, they're not entirely different. Some of the best 'writing' for many characters was never actually written. For example; YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. That was the actor, not the writer. "Here's looking at you, kid". Came from the actor off-stage. "Heeeeeeere's Johnny" is another improv from the actor. Same with "You talkin' to me?". Indiana Jones shooting the Swordsman was also Harrison Ford's suggestion. Originally he was going to actually fight with him. The final lines of Roy in Blade Runner were also improvised. Hannibal's hissing in Silence of the Lambs was improvised. The Joker clapping slowly and menacingly during Gordon's promotion in The Dark Knight Rises was also improvised. As was his pause while walking away from the hospital before it explodes. "Game over man" in Aliens was also ad libbed.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Writers aren't the be-all-end-all of characters, and quite often the actors know the characters better than the writers. This is because actors have to get to intimately know the characters they portray, in order to actually portray them. Its hard to act as someone you don't understand, so they understand them. Writers often briefly think of the characters sporadically during writing. This isn't to say they don't think about the characters, but they've got to consider all the other characters as well, and the scenes the director wants in the movie, and the themes, and the plot as a whole, and a million other things.
For Hamil, who has lived knowing Luke Skywalker for many decades, and was told who the character is by his creator - George Lucas - I trust his judgement of who the character is far more than I trust a new writer brought on to write a movie that decides to change Luke's character to better fit the themes he wants in his movie. And Hamil was right. Johnson fundamentally didn't understand, or didn't care for, Luke's character. He had a different story he wanted to tell.
Unfortunately for him, a lot of fans DO care about Luke's character, and DON'T care about what Johnson was trying to do with the movie. You picked Star Wars, you do Star Wars. Do the reinventing with a new IP and/or character.
Dude get out of my head. You basically just laid out my exact opinion on the matter. This movie isn't perfect. But neither is any star wars movie.
no movie is perfect nothing is perfect dude but star wars movies are better than other movies its gooder
altansuh tuguldur sorry I don't wanna be that guy but Gooder is not a word
Yeah its gooder then
@Wackaz - Arthur Wacker, TESB isn’t perfect either.
Luke struggled with being a living legend. I’ve been saying that for years to hear somebody else say it makes me so happy
It was a big theme of Luke’s in the Old EU.
This isn’t new to Star Wars, just the films.
@Kryptoskillet exactly the point, EU Luke is the Luke that the galaxy thinks he is, not the real guy.
@@cantthinkofaname5046 And which is terrible point, as it ignores that real Luke was far closer to that, than whatever it was in TLJ.
TLJ was a strange experience for me. My first viewing, I loved it, and considered it to be my favorite movie in the star wars franchise, however, when I rewatched it a little while later, I found it to be incredibly boring and hard to watch. I'd place it at the bottom tier of star wars movies now. Mabye if I watch it a third time, my opinion will change yet again.
I have watched it 4 times and I think the middle of the movie is really really boring. That said I did also get the chance by watching it multiple times to connect the themes in the writing to what George Lucas was writing in the OT.
Says that Rey unknown parentage is good
The next movie: Rey is palpatines granddaughter
@General Kenobi im your biggest fan general Kenobi. Could you say " Hello there " for me
@General Kenobi thank you general Kenobi
@General Kenobi Rey being Palpatine's daughter actually doesn't explain her other abilities, just why she's so strong in the force. It does makes a lot of sense narratively regarding her connection to Kylo since they're both grandchildren to the OG Sith duo. PLUs, the theme of identity not mattering still applies since Rey realizes that she's not destined to her bloodline, she can choose the one that's been her true family
@@ShaunFish Ah yes, through Identity theft?
Because its shit and they wrote it shitty because they are babies copping out and using memberberries.
Poe-"Is there a plan?"
Holdo-"Yes"
*ROLL CREDITS*
Do I like the sequels. Yes they're decent movies. Do I want some thing's tweaked? Yeah.
I thought it would age well until the rise of Skywalker had cold feet and retconned the bullshit instead of running with it
When I first saw TLJ, it was my 3rd favorite Star Wars movie. Now, it’s my least favorite of all the movies.
