Bro...

The new characters are trash.

Close thread. I see no one in this thread defending the characters, they suck and sucked since TFA.

Thought it was

easily the worst star wars film since Phantom Menace (or maybe ever), Rouge One was way better in the recent canon.

Bunch of stupid character arcs, disney jar-jar binks esque moments, terrible humor, horrible military tactics and half-baked combat scenes. Also ruined Luke Skywalker.

Hate it had to be him but lmao at these posts after VII came out, he really thought he was going to be beasting in VIII

That statement is contradictory to the portrayal of Rey in the first movie.

Damn rotten tomatoes audience score at 52%. Brutal

I heard that Lando was supposed to be the owner of the casino but they axed it

Did you read/see why? It's solid reasoning. The mission in Canto Bight has to result in failure, and they didn't want to bring Lando back and have him there, only for him to not come through or be a MacGuffin like the dude in the white suit was and disappoint the audience.

If Lando showed up only to be ineffective or a non-player you really think you'd be happier right now?

They would have had to re-worked that entire plot to make Lando work there in a way that was satisfying, so I'm actually happy they showed some sense. Now, I'm of the opinion that the entire Canto Bight plot should have been heavily re-written for some other reasons, but that's neither here nor there.

Watch them do some dumb shyt like have Samuel Jackson’s Mace Windu character show up as a Force Ghost for Finn at the end of Episode 9.

Thats when Finn will find out his last name is Windu in episode 9.
Finn Windu

Luke watching him sleep:

Kylo like:

Luke:

Jake SkyWalker : UNCLE BAD TOUCH

Of course. Next, Disney is gonna push for everyone actor to get behind this film.

First sentence I thought he was making a Big Lebowski the dude joke and being self deprecating about the criticism but no he seems serious. Not saying anything is better than taking criticism so serious especially since the movie is a financial success and was number one the first two weekends.

Usually, I'm just like "well that movie sucked" and I forget about it. But the backlash-to-the-backlash coming from the professional critics is interesting to me.

They all use the same terminology like "vocal minority". They all praise the movie on meta levels (i.e. the director is so brave, bold, daring, subversive) rather than on the story, pacing, characterization itself. You can do both at the same time. This movie didn't.

Reminds me of when people criticized Ghostbusters, and all the professional critics started saying that we're just hardcore Ghostbusters fanboys who are mad at women being in movies.
Or when people got mad at Iron Man 3, and the critics tried to convince us we're just angry Mandarin fanboys who wanted to see racist Chinese stereotypes.

Never thought I'd see the industry attacking Ghostbuster and Mandarin "fanboys". I don't even know wtf that is. I'm a casual fan who barely remembers the original trilogy. I just want to see a good story. The director/screenwriter can do whatever he wants, kill whoever he wants, as long as I'm entertained. I wasn't.
