Star Wars: The Last Jedi Pitch Meeting - Revisited!

[@phoenixdzk]

This movie launched like 600 critic channels and yet yours was the only one which acknowledged the alien looking directly at Rey while getting milked with an expression like 'are you seeing this?!'

I really love how there is an entire culture now around Pitch Meetings.

It's pretty clear watching these early ones that you've improved massively over the years you've been doing this. You put so much more into the performances these days.

[@christianhardtofind6349]

Yes! The monotone delivery might have been intentional early on, but once you've seen the more over-the-top characters we've come to love, it's hard to go back and watch these ones.

[@mulliano420]

Hmm, I thought this was a great change of pace, though the movie deserves a sterner critique than many others

[@excrubulent]

@@christianhardtofind6349 You could call it monotone but I don't think that was the intent. It's less camp and over the top, definitely. I think over time he's committed to these charcters being absolutely unhinged money hungry corpos with the biggest shit-eating grins you've ever seen. Without that the old ones feel flat in comparison. Like it's still clever writing but it doesn't have that zing to put it over the top. The recent ones have me full on laughing out loud, and not many yt skits do that for me these days.

I watched it last week and I loved it, and I think I understood it thanks to your pitch meeting.

Holdo's behaviour towards Poe makes more sense when you realise that the bombing fleet was originally under her command and Poe got them all killed and then immediately afterwards acted like he should be consulted by Holdo on what to do.

This is the Pitch Meeting revisit I most wanted to see, mainly because of how different The Last Jedi was from most of the other pitch meetings.

How?

[@artificialaceattorney6822]

@@matthewsimpson5621 For starters, they don't get into "So you have (X) for me?" Yes, sir I do," but immediately talk about the movie. They also talk about various story elements out of order rather than basically providing a rough summary of the story. The two characters don't have their distinct voices and aren't quite as insane. For example, the Screenwriter had the more sensible idea of killing off Leia and got overruled by the Producer, rather than the Producer accepting almost everything the Screenwriter proposed.

[@marthahiggins9814]

I really love this series. The new pitch meetings are always a joy and Ryan’s love of film is always obvious which is of course why these sketches are so uplifting even when he’s kicking the clichés about in ways they thoroughly deserve. Only a really knowledgeable lover of film could do something like this. Which is why visiting older sketches and hearing the thinking behind them is so enjoyable. It’s a real work of art and extremely clever.

[@averyallan7658]

Question: throughout many of the pitch meetings, producer guy gives bad suggestions and changes the story and in others, screenwriter guy comes up with really outlandish things that the other attempts to shoot down. How do you decide who comes up with the wacky or crazy things in the movies whether it’s the screenwriter being given too much free reign or the producers and studio interference?

[@joshuaburba1048]

This is a fantastic question.

Ryan you won't care but I watched this movie yesterday for no reason whatsoever.

@@rcdune7132it’s literally the best SW movie and you’re just genuinely too dumb to understand why. I get it, you’re a sheep and can’t form your own opinions. But if you actually understand SW lore, the characters and don’t have the emotional capacity of a plank of wood, you know TLJ is the best SW movie.

[@TheSCPStudio]

@@stevenschultz9637don’t even understand what you mean by ‘space gas’. Leia Poppins? You mean basic physics? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that scene. It actually fits perfectly. Leia was never a force user but she did practice. In space, all it takes is a small amount of force to move something so a little nudge was all she needed. Random side quests? You mean the backup mission for trying to secure the Alliance and Rey’s safety? You can’t be serious when you say that’s a ‘random side quest’. What’s wrong with the casino slaves? It’s a direct parallel to the world we live in. The rich prosper and the poor work for them. And considering slavery is a big part of the SW universe, it fits the lore of the series. Luke’s Ending was the only time we ever see a Jedi actually perform Jedi duties. He addresses a conflict but doesn’t engage in any violence that causes harm to anyone but himself (not even the bad guys), which allows the good guys time to escape. It’s a beautiful ending to Luke. And his character fits perfectly in the narrative. Dude had time to learn about how the Jedi failed. He saw how his own father was a monster because of them. He saw how Kylo was easily manipulated. Every attempt he made at rebuilding failed. Ofc he would be a jaded hermit. Especially given how the First Order was still going strong and Luke was getting old. I don’t know man, most of this seems like personal complaints from you. Which is fine, of course, but take responsibility for having absolutely no brain in that head.

[@stevenschultz9637]

@@TheSCPStudio Space gas - in this, the 8th movie of a series, (on top of Rogue One and the TV shows) is the first mention of anyone even having concern that they could run out of gas. It is objectively a weird time in the world building to be making a big deal about it. On top of the preposterous notion that the Resistance was going the Goldilocks speed to keep away from the First Order, it was a big pill to swallow. These are all straws, which one broke the camel's back is hard to say. Here are some more. The movie opened with cringe dialogue between Poe and Hux (it felt like they were heavily trying to push some Iron Man banter into Star Wars, and it didn't work), and included a bombing run scene with the most perplexingly designed space bombers in Star Wars. (the ones that drop bombs down even though there is no gravity in space) Y-Wing bombers had existed for decades. Don't forget Leia's post death (I saw post death because everyone else in the room exploded, we call this plot armor) space leap back onto the ship, only to be in a coma for most of the rest of the movie and doing nothing to add to the plot. (Truly a missed opportunity for Leia's exit from the series as Carrie tragically died) Star Wars is a work of science fiction, with a literal magic Force. It is not a parallel to our universe. What are you on? If you don't like Star Wars or Luke Skywalker that's fine, but don't act like this movie was made for fans of Star Wars. I did lol at "personal complaints" though, that was pretty good 😂 I do want to point out that you used the word "fits" twice, which is what gave away that you've probably never seen a Star Wars movie, maybe work on that for next time you're trying to troll fans.

[@aldenetra8817]

Ryan, I used to work at Screen Rant way back when. And I’ve loved your pitch meetings for so long. My question is: Do you ever watch movies for the fun of it? Are you able to? Or is your film critic brain always on? I feel like now that I’ve watched your Pitch Meetings for so long, I’ve started to think about what you’d say as I’m watching films.

[@TheDoc73]

I'd want to jump in here, hope you don't mind. As someone with experience with this, when my film critic brain is working at full capacity I am able to enjoy movies so much more. So I guess I'm asking: "Does that critical part of your brain make movies less enjoyable? Or, like me, do you actually enjoy (good) films more because you kind of see the pieces of the actual film making process and enjoy them so much?

[@svenlauke1190]

my 2 cents are: I used to binge EWW, Pitch Meeting, HISHE, Honesttrailers etc. and for a time it did ruin movies for me, even more so if I was watching them with company, because I looked for errors etc all the time and even pointed them out. can imagine some critics having the same issue

[@zechariahdavid5199]

I remember he's answered this question before but not on his own channel I don't think, it's with an interview with a couple on a KZbin channel but I don't remember the channel or the video name. He might've also mentioned it in the first pitch meeting revisited question portion I think. But to summarize, he did say it's very hard because he kind of has to look for plot holes since it's his job and he can't see past them but he doesn't hate watching movies (iirc)

​@@ebreshea1337it was there because as a terrible writer he didn't see a way out of that situation (because he himself established lightspeed tracking) so he invented a move that would save them and look cool on screen. Problem is, that even if that move is possible, Holdo could've lived by making a droid do the move or have the ship do it autonomously.

Mine too. The truth is that film is so dire the Pitch Meeting could have been twice as long and still not encompassed all the absurdities. The 'momma' joke at the beginning? Poe disobeying orders and getting thousands of his fellow Resistance members killed? And the only getting a slap on the wrist? Rey being able to swim despite spending her whole life on a desert world? Luke, the man who redeemed his evil father, attempting to murder his nephew because of a vision? The slow motion space chase that could have been ended in minutes if only the First Order, who were not short of fuel, sent some of their ships to light speed and then returned in front of and around the Resistance ships? The ease with which Finn and Rose managed to slip away to Canto Bight but nobody thought to evacuate others in this way? The grand Resistance plan to just try and hold on long enough to reach an old abandoned Rebel Alliance base in the hope their might be a transmitter to use to call for help? Surely Finn and Rose could have done that on their way to Canto Bight? The 'Holdo manoeuver' and the fact that nobody had ever thought to try it against the Death Star instead of relying on a strategy of making a "one in a million" shot by firing a torpedo down an exhaust port less than 2 metres wide? Luke being able to project himself hundreds of light years across space. The fact the whole premise of the first film was the two sides trying to find the map to locate Luke, half of which was stored in R2-D2, but when he was found he said he'd gone to hide away and die - so why leave the map behind in the first place?! It must have been hard for Ryan to choose which of so many failings to lampoon.

[@attila0323]

He made one for "A Quiet Place" which one - as far as I remember - a well received movie, but I sighted every 5 minutes or so because it made no sense and Ryan pointed out the mistakes very well. Talking about "it", "It (2017)" is the same.

[@davidalbertyn1126]

You're the best, Ryan! So funny. Please do a Tenet Pitch Meeting Revisited. I love that Pitch Meeting so much.

[@rhaegartargaryen9315]

Ryan has the most incredible comment section, all of the fans earned through sheer hard work, and it’s super easy barely an inconvenience.

[@markfisher2683]

Really cool to see how you have grown your two characters to be more of a caricature of this industry ( which is probably quite accurate;)…. I enjoy seeing how they’ve evolved along side your writing . Me like. Thanks for the excellent entertainment!

[@scribehades]

It boggles the mind that they ruined Star Wars this much.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Star Wars had two and a half good movies in TOS. It has just been formula movie pablum ever since. There is no story arc. They just make up each new episode on the fly. They are advertising to sell merch.

[@newgiohguy3711]

Here's a question for a future "Revisited" episode: Have you ever thought about having Brandon and/ or Sam cameo on an episode of Pitch Meeting? I love your MMS stuff and I feel like if you picked the right movie it could be hilarious. I love the show and hope the best for you!

[@andraspalatinus145]

I have never seen this pitch, I gotta this this was one of best ones you have ever made.

[@ilian_of_Garathorm]

Ryan - maybe you didn't care for the Pitch Meetings on individual actors, but the ones on entertainment news, like Spiderman leaving the MCU, were gold! I can't believe you haven't done a Pitch Meeting on the writers' strike that's going on now (or maybe you're waiting until after it resolves).

[@MattGOnYT]

Has there ever been a film that you tried to make a pitch for that you never figured out? Also it’s great to see that somebody is finally putting the Peters of the world in their place

[@vishalmistry8123]

Question Do you feel that because of pitch meetings it has stopped you from enjoying a movie without having to break it down? Love these videos, please don’t stop

[@MysteryMastery69]

I need ambient noise to sleep, I used to leave Netflix playing but I've not started using the pitch meeting playlist. These retrospectives are so awesome! Ryan is such a legend!

[@MichaelMaune]

Can't believe I'm not the only one.

[@librarylena1582]

It’s so good too find out there are others😊

[@Cog_In_The_Gear]

I love the content! Always a fresh take on things about not only Star Wars. Keep up the phenomenal work!

[@Native_Creation]

This pitch meeting is a core memory now, it never gets old.

[@travisbrody4399]

Hey Ryan, love these revisited videos, can’t wait to see more of them. Question(s): do you have a favorite joke that you’ve made in any of the pitch meetings? Also, what is your all time favorite movie?

[@wesleyoldham4222]

"This was just verbatim how that actual pitch went, so I didn't have to do much work on this one." Acknowledging long running jokes from the comment section of your videos is tight!

[@DarthVador2023]

Love those Star Wars Pitch Meetings!

[@krikeydial3430]

Hate new Star Wars movies.

[@brokenglass0642]

Love the behind the scenes. You're doing a great job. Keep it up and thanks for making some wonderfully funny content!

[@johnwatson3948]

“Have her fly back like Mary Poppins” has become part of popular culture - have met so many people who start laughing when you say that and they know it from here. Since Disney was working on a Mary Poppins movie at the same time as Last Jedi, one wonders if making Leah fly like Mary Poppins was actually a bizarre attempt at cross-promotion.

[@theskyrat4546]

I love to see new Pitch Meeting videos, whether it be new, or revisited. I was curious, what is your personal favorite movie of all time?

[@earthlingcarl3179]

Would love to see a Pitch Meeting on the original Blade Runner :)

[@pietrorotondano]

Really great content and you seem to be a nice guy!

[@Walleyedwosaik]

I HAAAAAATE screen rant but LOOOOOOOVE ryan George

[@Ewl24]

This is the best Revisit we've gotten, I think

[@hbpinnock]

Hey Ryan! Always look forward to your pitch meetings! Question: Is there ever material or jokes that you have to edit out after filming for sake of time? How often does that happen?

[@JamesThomasJeans]

We're about to get our tenth SAW film: how in the world have there been no pitch meetings for any of the SAW films yet? Do SAW pitch meetings!

[@justanotherchannelonyoutub126]

Maybe because Ryan never “SAW” one of those films yet

[@mugendub]

Question; would you ever do a pitch meeting for a lesser known or older film? (Something abit random like Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly) Or is keeping up with stuff that's more recent & more talked about films/shows easier?

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

Excalibur please. Lost Highway, Videodrome and Exorcist 3

[@kes671]

Donnie Darko maybe? Please?

[@mugendub]

Meant this more of a question about writing, & if older/lesser known films are maybe more risky for algorithm, or difficult just cos there's less awareness in modern media. Didn't want to be too leading with it.

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

@mugendub the original point stands. We want pitch meetings for Excalibur, In The Mouth of Madness and Lawrence of Arabia. And Gandhi 😂

[@mugendub]

@@lordvadertheleftie9703 yeh fair

[@matthasty720]

No questions, just discovered your content and love it. Keep it up!

[@algebraizt]

I love seeing how you grew the Pitch Meeting characters and the writing getting much more streamlined. With the later drafts it feels like you trust the audience to get the joke and you trust that you're writing good jokes.
