[Spoilers] Star Wars The Last Jedi discussion

  1. 7 years ago

    I thought it was better than The Force Awakens. It actually had its own plot line for the most part, instead of just copying Episode 5 or something, and there were a few twists in there I definitely wasn't expecting, so I did enjoy watching the movie.

    Overall, I think they just should've stopped with Episode 6. Everything was nice and rounded out...basically the entire series was based on Anakin, so it seems strange to keep going when he's dead. And there are a number of things I don't like about where the series has been going. Where did this Snoke guy come from? The First Order's back again? And a third Death Star--REALLY?! :P

    In short, I think The Last Jedi did about as well as a movie in a dying storyline can do...

    this wasn't in Lucas's mind, he stated he had enough material for at least other 20 movies :P

  3. Good character arcs for Rey and Kylo. I think Luke's death was good, kind of a callback to how Obi-Wan died. Although it would have been nice if he didn't die, I expect we will see his force ghost in the 9th movie.

    The thing I hated the most was when they had a chance to kill off Leia, they didn't. Seeing as how Carrie Fischer died towards the end of production for the movie, they could have easily delayed the release and killed off Leia in this movie, in the scene where she is floating in space. Because now in the 9th they will have to figure out a creative way to kill her off without making it look terrible with CGI.

    Oh, and also, if Snoke is really dead, that has to be one of the dumbest things as well. I suspect he was using the force trick Luke used at the end of the movie and just faked his death, but for all that hype for a new villain just to kill him off with 10 minutes of screen time seems stupid.

    Good movie in my opinion. The 7th was a huge callback to the old movies and seemed kind of cheesy. This one had less of that and focused more on the development of new characters.

    @Urid I think overall movies, tv, and videogames can be a waste of time. To all their own opinion, just because I haven't watched The Last Jedi doesn't mean I can't hold an opinion on it, I dislike the Star Wars storyline in general. I have watched several movies in my life but many of these top titles are filled with extremely unrealistic scenarios, extreme violence/extreme cruelty, and have various scenes that are somewhat sexual. Star Wars is non sexual nearly it is unrealistic and somewhat violent of course and I can handle violence but I hate movies with extreme violence, I can handle war but dislike movies that have violence towards people that can't defend themselves, I don't like movies that are very unrealistic, or futuristic. I know many people love Star Wars and I understand that. People can grow to love the storyline and characters and will be sad when someone dies eg: The Walking Dead/Star Wars. I understand this because when I played COD Modern Warfare after Soap dies in MW3 I felt somewhat sad because I had grown to love all the characters and was emotionally attached. I also dislike Star Wars because this Franchise has been milked for 40 years. There is no clear indication that the Series could end soon and I dislike things like that which may not end anytime soon. I would rather pay for other movies where there is an end.
