Fukkery never stops :mjlol:

Rotten Tomatoes critic score is low but the audience score is high. Complete opposite with Last Jedi, but then again if you didn't like either then :yeshrug:

She's entirely the wrong fit for this type of franchise. Her main work was with Spielberg, who is a dominant creative force. She didn't need to provide creative direction, just make sure the budget was being adhered to as much as possible and to make Spielberg's vision fit studio realities. Now she's more or less responsible for shepherding an IP, with numerous creative voices and pressures and I think she simply doesn't know what to do (cf. Kevin Feige).

In short, she's a Tom Hagen who tries to be a Michael Corleone.

Man that wanch a Fredo, but wants to be michael.

This is exactly why TLJ destroyed any chance of this trilogy working out. fukk boy thinks he's smarter than he is.

One of the main selling points of this trilogy was getting to see full powered luke, and to really close this chapter of SW history so that fans could move on. Instead this hack had to subvert expectations, and pull that silly fukk the past, fukk the force, fukk the jedi, the force is for everyone BS.

The EU books did an amazing job of this, before anyone says SW has no potential.

I really hope the media don't get away with this narrative they're running with that RJ is a victim. He's worse than D&D in my book (at least there were some :wow: moments in season 8).

Edit: Messed up thing is that these fools are supposed to be the cream of the crop of Hollywood talent right now. They can't hold a candle to the OG greats in the movie industry.

All true. By the why what is D&D?
