I think one of the worst things they did was end TFA with Rey finding Luke. They should have ended the movie with Rey leaving the resistance, then you could have made like half of TLJ be Rey having wacky hi-jinks on her way there.
They needed a scene with Luke so they can add his name to the list of actors appearing in the movie. Also, he had to appear in person at the end for maximum Memberberries.
Personally I would have just bit the bullet and made Kylo full on evil. Not this waffling emo bad boy stuff.
Unlike Anakin who embraced the dark side to save his family have Kylo just be a selfish power hungry egomaniac using the Force for his own benefit.
If any of you have ever seen Dragon Heart Kylo would essentially be Prince Ivan.
Might have worked.
Leia apparently was ousted from politics over her father being Darth Vader, Kylo Ren's motivation could be to retake his family's position of power due to his hurt pride.
Not a terribly good plot, but a good writer could work with it.
Just wanted to ask why the hell are people going all "Only nerds care about continuity and consistency and rules in a movie about space wizards" all of a sudden? These people don't realise they are saying it's okay to break the rules of previous continuity and invent shit on the fly and to not call it out. This is referring to of course the force healing ability in TROS that wasn't established in any of the other movies.
It's essentially a way of attacking the other person with an ad hominem when they raise a point that the SJW-shitheads can't counter.
Person A: "TLJ is a perfect movie without any flaws!"
Person B:" What about the Hyperspace Ramming?"
Person A: "What of it? It looked super cool!"
Person B: "Yeah, but it sort of raises the question: Why wasn't this done ever before?"
Person A: "Lol, stop overthinking things, you fucking dweeb! Also, you're a bigot if you hate this movie!"
It's a way to shut down the argument by ridiculing the very notion of a different opinion the moment the other person dares partaking in that discussion.
Bonuspoints if this "Person A" also felates the movie for being such an important and groundbreaking magnum opus that changes movie history - just to turn around and call it "a stupid children's movie about space wizards" when someone points out shortcomings or flaws.
It's outright schizophrenic. The movie is the most perfect piece of art ever and at the same time just a silly tale that you should not take seriously at all or else you're an idiot. So which one is it now? Ah right, it always depends on what "Person A" needs it to be at the moment, depending on what part of the argument you're at. How convenient.
It's pretty simple. You are not ENTITLED to my money if you deliver a fucking turd. That is just how things work.
Unfortunately, a shitton of people are dumb enough to pay for the privilege of being assaulted by this piece of shit movie... even in this thread.
Sorry, no hard feelings, but anyone who willingly paid himself to watch this garbage, despite knowing how aweful it is, is a lolcow.
The movie was insulting enough, I don't need to potato shaped chode who wrote the crapfest to start insulting me because I thought his garbage movie was garbage.
How any company can allow their employees to insult customers for being invested in their product and get away with it is beyond me.
Ruin Johnson outright called fans stupid for trying to figure out who Snoke is and just to show them, he made him a literal nobody out of spite.
I can't fathom how anyone at Disney is working and all I can think about is, that I want to work there. If all I have to do, is to participate in the "woke" song and dance and then even rampant, constant, regular displays of gross incompetence are considered irrelevant (with prospects of a golden parachute), you can't help but wonder if you shouldn't just join them and ride that sucker into the ground. Might as well do your bros a solid and leak whatever info you can get your hands on.
You know, I am starting to think that J.J saying "Ruin Johnson didn't actually ruin my plans, guys" was him lying as to not give him the satisfaction of shitting his ideas.
I guess that was part of their bullshit marketing, I guess: "Oh no, our trilogy wasn't buttfucked with a cactus by Johnson when he literally cut off all plot threads in TLJ! This is fine. Everything is fine. We always planned to make a trilogy that introduces the core villain in the last movie in the most asinine and passionless manner ever! Ruin didn't fuck up! We aren't scrambling to come up with some desperate attempt to tie this fucker up somehow! Remember, this was all exactly according to
keikaku!"
So, in short, they attempted to make it look like they were in control and everything was running super smooth, while they had absolutely no idea how to deal with the fallout of TLJ, both in the narrative sense as well as the fan-backlash.
