Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2)

[RIDDICK]

And ape-like furry Wookiee wouldn't smell like ****, I guess...

Hideous design.

Please elaborate.

I like TPM a lot, but even I'll admit that Jar Jar was mostly Poo-doo. At least he did have a bit of a character ark though, we saw him progress from unhinged pond life, to taking command of an army (all be it with slap stick still silliness far to present) Then into the senate which was fortunately mostly off screen. unlike plenty of characters in TLJ who had none. I'd argue that while Jar Jar is no doubt incredibly annoying. There are examples of worse characters in the franchise. Rose for a start....

One thing I don't understand is why they killed Tallie Lintra. She was featured in the Battlefront game as a hero character, had a pretty cool and memorable look and vehicle, and would be a good female pilot character to compliment Poe. She could have been the sequel trilogy's Wedge Antilles and with so few memorable Rebels still alive at the end of The Last Jedi, it wouldn't have hurt to keep someone like her around. She could have potentially been valuable from a marketing sense, I'd think. Certainly more valuable than Rose, but I guess we'll never know.

I loved jar jar when I was 9 lol. Thought he was funny. As I grew older I hated the character and thought it was the worse thing put in a star wars film.

I still don’t mind JarJar. I guess I don’t have the “cringe” gene. Sometimes he’s way over the top but it doesn’t bother me.

I think the only comic moment that comes close to that for me is the deleted Spa scene on the TLJ blu. The little naked alien that looks like something from Monsters Inc. I scratched my head at that one.

1. He only allowed it to stay open because someone he likes asked him to

Everything in this sentence is wrong.

2. He's most likely too bussy with real life stuff at the moment, thread will get closed eventually

As long as Freaks remain civil towards each other it'll remain open.

I find the lack of Darth Jar Jar talk disturbing.

Interesting how both PT and ST went through dramatic plot changes that were not originally planned.

Can't stand Jar Jar Binks, he was obnoxious but even back in the day he never ruined the movie for me. He was kind of just there. It's weird because I thought his character looked really cool in the toys, ads and cardboard cutouts. His action figure looked all stoic even. It wasn't until I heard him and saw him in action that I began to hate it.

But as a kid I hated C-3PO in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. For whatever reason they really upped his prissiness and incessant whining in the sequels.

But still, 3PO and Jar Jar are way better/more tolerable characters than any of the main cast in the Sequel movies save for Kylo Ren. I'll take the reptile rabbit racist stereotype and the gay insufferable protocol droid over Rey, Finn, Rose, Holdo, etc.

 

[YoNoSe]

I like the three leads but I don’t think TLJ capitalized on the charisma they had in TFA.

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

I liked most new characters in TFA except for Max Tanaka. For me, BB-8 (a prop that doesn't even have a face) was the most charismatic and developed character of Episode VIII.

 

[YoNoSe]

It’s weird that they gave Kylo a great character-growth moment when he eschews the Nu-Vader persona and eventually discards Snoke but then his endgame is to perpetuate the First Order. Although maybe that was a temporary move to take advantage of thier resources for the sake of destroying Leia & her followers.

Jar Jar , s bad as he was, got exponentially worse after on realizes he is the sole reason the Emperor was allowed to come to power. He pushed the vote of not confidence over the top, which allowed Palaptine the power he needed to create the Empire.

Nothing has come close to the stupid move in any other Star Wars fils plot wise....

Yeah, I'd been hoping he'd redeem himself over the course of the trilogy but instead he made everything worse.

Well, except Vader's idea to put a tracking device on the Falcon thus bringing the Death Star right into range where the rebels could destroy it. Of course, Vader gets away while "fighting".

And now for another episode of Lucasfilm Commissars:

The Right Way to Deal With Franchise History

But the polarizing reaction to The Last Jedi isn’t a sign of the film’s shortcomings; rather, it’s a sign of its audacity. The Last Jedi let its characters and story evolve, even if that meant destroying the foundations from which the franchise was built, and polarizing some of its fans along the way. Kylo Ren said it best: “Let the past die; kill it, if you have to.”

Letting the past die is just Star Wars’ way of ensuring its future.

You get all that? Celebrating the destruction of SW as we know it. Now brace yourselves:

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ is the Luke Skywalker movie you’re looking for

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' is the movie fans deserve

To be fair, is there anyone that hasn't tried to expunge the creation of Gungans from their mind?

Gungans are so awesome that even the super advanced Wakandans wanna be them.

Ugh... Jar Jar... not him! But he's better than the Disney travesty - I mean trilogy.

Who kills the big bad villain in the middle of the trilogy?

Who systematically destroys beloved characters from the original before killing them off?

Who thinks it makes women look good by making all the guys stupid schmucks?

Who dresses like an old-republic diva when leading a revolution?

Who reduces Princess Leia - my absolute favorite character - into Mary Poppins?

That's one spoonful of sugar I can do without!

The movie was as tragic as Carrie's death, and that's pretty bad. No integrity, no respect for what comes before it, just amounts to a lot of money-grabbing fluff pandering to the lowest common denominator. Disney's magical one-size-fits-all formula for movies may make them maximum profit for minimum work, but I can't bring myself to even call it good, let alone art.

Hmm... are you saying Vader was...chicken?

Wow! Last Jedi hate hyperbole has reached a fever pitch when folks start equating their feelings toward a movie that they disliked to the actual loss of human life...sorry, the death of a person...a beloved actor and more importantly a daughter and a mother is not an equal tragedy to being disappointed by the plot of a movie.
