Cool. Thing is though, I'm not on a side. I just thought personally that TLJ was a mess of a movie. The first SW movie that I actively really dislike (yes including the prequels). It has some great scenes mired in a cheesy load of fanboy nonsense.
And it ruined what I liked and was excited about from TFA. These are my opinions not anyone elses.
And believe me I tried to like it - I like ALL SW up to this point - I can laugh 'at' some stuff, I can groan at some of the prequels, even the SW Holiday special.
I saw it 4 times in the theatre, raved about the trailers, bought the 3D blu-ray, the 4K blu-ray I even have the soundtrack on vinyl. I like to like Star Wars - I'm a fanboy but one who knows these are just movies to enjoy (or not).
But I think it's a terrible terrible movie. Very badly made and very 'not star wars' but some kind of cheesy stupid Disney concoction.
It's horrible.
And it is incredibly sexist - if you want to bring more women into the franchise for gods sake do it (a) without feeling the need to knock the male characters and (B) Write interesting characterful women - not cardboard cut-outs.
Jar Jar Binks > Rose
AOTC 3PO > Canto Bight
All of the Prequels > TLJ
The bright sparks?
Hamill is great, Fisher is great, Driver is fantastic.
Luke and Leia's reunion is wonderful and tender.
Snokes death (although illogical) is great.
**** it I even like the PORGS.
But Holdo, Rose, Maz, Broom Boy, Canto Bight, Caretakers, Monty Python jokes that fall flat after one viewing - are absolute garbage.
And the overall 'plot' is just stupid and nothing ****ing happens of worth over the course of nearly 3 hours. We have events and side missions but no story progressions.
Star Wars always felt huge - a cinematic myth - even when it failed it ALWAYS took it's own world seriously.
TLJ doesn't, it's tonally incorrect for SW. Want Luke to reject his lightsaber - sure. That makes sense, but don't get how to throw it over his shoulder for comedy value.
That doesn't make sense - at all. Skywalker might drop it, hand it back, even refuse to take it. Nope not enough for Johnson he has him do a comedy trick - one which completely destrys the emotion of the end of the previous godamn movie.
That bad film making and terrible writing.
Making Darth Vader the creator of C-3PO literally changes the context of every single scene that they're in in the OT and it's just stupid. In 1977 we were introduced to a world where all these amazing characters with diverse backgrounds intersect with one another but then TPM comes along and says that the opening scene of SW has Leia running around the Blockade Runner with two droids owned by *both* her parents (Mom had R2, Dad made 3PO) making pretty much every single named character in the opening of SW related to one another.
Like why not complain about the fact that this alien species is suddenly ****ing everywhere, lol.
