When Rian Johnson’s hotel I was staying at caught fire, I rushed to the emergency fire exit door. But instead of seeing a fire exit, Rian in a chicken costume was behind the door and whacked me with a mallet. I got a mild concussion and failed to escape without getting horribly burned, but at least my expectations were definitely subverted.

[@dyslexicboogaloo]

When I asked Rian Johnson for a good movie he took a dump in my mouth. But then he gave me a mint condition directors cut of Doctor Strangelove signed by Stanley Kubrick so I don’t know what to think anymore.

[@corvus4350]

The fact that John Boyega is on record saying he hates what happened with Finn's character, that The Last Jedi is his least favorite movie in the new trilogy, and that he is glad he is not in them anymore is just icing on the cake.

[@avatareternal3204]

My takeaway from all this was that If Mr. Plinkett had let Rian Johnson keep working on his lawn, we all would have been spared from The Last Jedi.

[@indoctrinationtheory1468]

I think what hurts most is there's no do overs. These films were the ONE chance Disney had to reunite the cast of the original films and add to their story in a meaningful way. The only opportunity to bring Leia, Luke, Han, Chewie, Lando and the droids together again, tell add to their legacy and pass the torch to a new generation. And they blew it. They totally, utterly blew it,

[@Planetnish]

That's exactly how I feel. The new trilogy is the biggest wasted opportunity in the history of cinema.

[@darkrain491]

"Remember kids, In Hollywood it's not important if it's of high quality, only that it makes money" - Mark Hamill

[@spookbuster4862]

@@LatajaceStadoKotow The film itself made a shitload of money, where they lost out is in merchandise. Toy sales are at an all time low for the series, as are most other licensed products.

[@LumpyTheCooked]

The Prequels (and Return of the Jedi) played through it perfectly: Release the film in late spring for the summer blockbuster rush, then release the home video in early autumn so that kids and families get to watch it again (or several times) right before the late autumn holiday shopping rush really kicks in.This timeline worked PERFECTLY for moving merchandise- kids would demand certain action figures, lego vehicles, etc. of things that they had just seen over and over again in the movie, and it would give retailers a lot of time to move through Star Wars stock, whether toys, books, clothing, video games, whatever. Disney chose a film release schedule that does NOT work for merchandising at all, despite merchandise being Star Wars' biggest money maker- instead of the summer blockbuster window, which they probably wanted to keep exclusively for Marvel, they decided to release their Star Wars films in early December, immediately AFTER the shopping rush had mostly finished. As a result, most retailers in the fall shopping season are left clueless as to what to market to people, or how, because the actual movie that their new stock of merchandise is based on hasn't even released yet. And that's not even going into Disney's insistence on one (or more) SW movies each and every calendar year, which is another awful concept altogether. Star Wars merchandising was a methodically tuned, well-timed machine that worked over and over, generating hundreds of millions of revenue even in years with no new movie releases, and Disney went out of their way to break it down completely. I'd be shocked, but this IS the company that somehow managed to destroy the Muppets, so I can't say I'm too surprised.

[@Eisenwulf666]

See, it was a clever ruse by Mr. Johnson : you would expect them to liberate the enslaved kids, so he subverted your expectations. You did it again Disney! Such brilliance

[@daverobson3084]

Add to that that She and Finn illegally parked, and were legally arrested for it( which, while harsh, seems too be the local law), then decide to commit further crimes by assaulting officers of the law, breaking out of jail, stealing private property( the animals) and destruction of private/ public property. Then THEY feel superior to everyone ( as they escape, leaving , possibly, enslaved children to clean up their mess).

[@GigaTrope]

George's revenge is now complete.

[@NexusVerbal]

No one ever imagined a film worse than the prequels could be made, but Rian Johnson somehow managed it. Aspects of the prequels are just as bad/inferior as TLJ, but George was at least always playing to the fanbase and throwing the audience a few bones. As stated in this review, lack of drama and tension completely kills the film. Even the prequels had some of that.

@@doomstadt2371 if you genuinely wanted to be surprised, watch Empire. After about 2 of the big “gotcha!” moments, none of them actually surprised me because I knew that Rian was just going to do the opposite of what made sense. You see, there’s a difference between surprising people and defying logic. When people expect one thing to happen, it’s usually because it’s the next logical step. A movie being predictable at the very start isn’t good, but if you can guess what the characters are about to do most of the time by the time you reach the end, that’s probably just because it makes sense for them to do that. Near the end of Empire, the moment Luke finds out about his friends being in danger, you instantly know that Luke is going to go after them and is not going to listen to Yoda’s advice because that’s the kind of person Luke is. Him leaving Yoda to go save his friends is exactly what Luke Skywalker at that point in the trilogy would do as established by previous scenes. It makes sense that he would do that, and thus him doing that isn’t the movie being predictable, it’s the audience being smart enough to understand what kind of person Luke is and being able to rationally predict his next course of action. Audiences aren’t stupid, and it isn’t a failure of a director if they get to a point where they can guess where the plot will go on decently short notice. Rian Johnson just does the opposite of what makes sense in terms of characters and in terms of logic. Holdo is blatantly a terrible leader who is trying to string along everyone with her based on blind faith in a plan she refuses to tell anyone. No good leader would ever conceal that much information from their subordinates in a time of crisis. Teaching people that they should just follow whatever the leaders say because they’re smarter than the people they command is an awful lesson. So the reveal that Holdo actually did have a plan the whole time isn’t a plot twist, it’s defying logic. Same goes for nearly every other major “subversion” in this stupid movie. They get predictable after two of them because you can just predict that whatever is going to happen is the opposite of what would logically happen.

The add even more confusion about the script, Rian Johnson once stated that he had to write the script for The Last Jedi while The Force Awakens was being written and so he had no idea what was going on. But then JJ Abrams said Johnson had access to some early drafts, so he should have had an idea of what was going on. But then Kathleen Kennedy confirmed Johnson wrote his script while none of the new trilogy ideas and scripts were confirmed. But then Abrams said he wrote initial scripts for VIII and IX and Johnson chose not to use his scripts and write a new one. BUT THEN Johnson confirmed that and said he wanted to challenge all of Abrams ideas and dissect the characters and themes with his own script. B U T T H E N it was reported by Lucasfilms and others including Abrams that Johnson had to regularly get his script reviewed by the higher ups and get approval for it, during the writing of The Force Awakens. And so Abrams came out and said Johnson's script was so good, he wanted to direct it himself. I'm sure everyone is trying to make it seem like production was under control, but this seems like a case of "Too many cooks in a kitchen trying to make a 3 course meal, but nobody has even decided on what kind of restaurant this is going to be."

Yeah, sounds like studios being idiots, for sure. But the thing is if you find a great writer (they exist, even if Hollywood rarely uses them), you could write a great Star Wars script in a week. It's not a complicated franchise, you just need to make it fun, have likeable characters and a solid heroes journey, and have a few fun surprises.

Rian Johnson really likes subverting expectations. People expected him to make a good movie.

[@jaykayhooray]

RJ says, “The only thing i would really want is a good movie that delights me in ways i didnt expect.” Hey jackass, the problem is all the changes you made were distasteful and unbelievable. Its not the fact that you made changes, it’s the end result. Let me give u a food analogy that even Gordan Ramsey would agree with, becuz if you know anything about the upper echelons of cooking, it’s about making the dish better, not changing it for worse for the sake of it. Thats like if a chef wanted to make a delicious new dish at a beloved restaurant, so his bright idea is to take a favorite recipe and degrade it by changing what made it great in the first place and replacing it with the exact opposite, instead of trying to contribute to it which helps it reach another level (which is what all great chefs do, they ENHANCE IT by adding their own twist to a dish, they dont try to reinvent the fckin wheel becuz there’s a time and place for everything, genius!) Thats NOT what the owner asked for, the owner asked to make a known dish BETTER. He didnt ask to make a NEW dish with the same frckin name to try to fool customers. Why? Cuz thats not what the customers want, thats not why they keep coming back to this restaurant, so they can be tricked. They came to eat delicious food from a restaurant they know damm well, and whether its an old or new menu, it better be good for the same reason. So when it ends up tasting bad, he blames his favorite customers that it’s because it’s not what they’re used to and they dont have an open mind. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. In fact, a favorite customer, who is a big fan of the restaurant, is not only open to something new, they welcome it because they love the food there and would be excited to hear there’s a new, delicious dish, BUT TO A CERTAIN DEGEE- CHANGES THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE FLAVOR, MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. NOT THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT MAKES IT GOOD, NOT THE OTHER END OF THE FCKIN SPECTRUM. But then, when it tastes bad because it’s something that shouldnt even be sold in that restaurant, you blame the customer??? if you go to a delicious burger spot that wants to try something new, they should give you a new and different type of burger, not a shitty sushi roll. and? THE CUSTOMERS WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. THE OWNER WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. Yet the chef has the audacity to say the customers are a buncha “man-babies” ? What an idiot.

Rian is just a pawn in this. Disney made this film bizarre and awkward. They didn’t just say “Hey, let’s give the director of Looper five hundred million dollars to turn our biggest franchise into a snarky artistic statement.” The prequels were a HUGE financial success. They want to emulate aspects of the prequels, without pissing off too many fat 32 year olds. Kids don’t like The Hero’s Journey anymore. They like cynical ADD spectacles. They like big words that make them feel smart. They like creatures that remind them of Pokémon. Lucas was a god-damn prophet...

I apologize for insulting Final Fantasy X by that comparison. I will make it a point to make my comparison more nuanced from now on, pointing out that Final Fantasy X does have a coherent story that goes from beginning to end. Which just makes the Last Jedi that much more sad in the end.

to be fair, Indiana Jones also jumped out of an airplane in an inflatable dingy, landed on the side of a snowy mountain and X-Gamed his way to safety... At some point you just have to accept goofy action in a goofy action movie. Part of the problem is that grown adults consider this shit as "serious" when it was originally produced decades ago when they were kids. That's not to excuse any warts in TLJ, which was plenty clunky in general... But goofy and never very well defined force powers leading to a goofy outcome shouldn't be surprising. Jedi can run real fast and jump real high right until the screenwriters figure it would be more dramatic if they couldn't. The whole house of cards collapses after a few seconds of critical thought. It can't be pinned on a given moment in a given film, it's death by 1,000 tiny cuts.

But those same people never seemed to have much of an issue with the Ewok hang glider or Indy using a rubber dingy as a parachute.

Episode V: Luke and Leia watch the Millennium Falcon head off to Tatooine from the viewing deck of the medical cruiser; Holdo bursts into the room and shouts "Arrest Skywalker! He flew off to Dagobah instead of rejoining the Rebel fleet after the Battle of Hoth!". Episode VI: Luke, Leia, Han and all the rebels party with Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor. Holdo storms into the Ewok village and shouts "Arrest Skywalker! He abandoned the rebel strike team and allowed himself to be captured and taken to the Death Star!".

I still don't understand what the state of the galaxy is in the sequel trilogy. Why does the Resistance refer to itself as the Resistance? Did the New Republic not have a military? What was the Resistance resisting? Did the First Order have control of a majority of the galaxy in TFA? In the prequels and the originals, it was fairly obvious what was going on in the galaxy. How was the First Order able to build Starkiller Base, and with what resources? These questions didn't have to be answered in TFA, but they should have assuredly been answered in TLJ. I'm supposed to believe that the Republic's entire fleet was destroyed in TFA, and that, as a consequence, the Resistance only had 400 people in the entire galaxy who could fight the First Order? Bullshit. These new films seem so small in comparison to the past films. Such a shame!

Agreed 100%. Plus this Snoke guy. A really powerful force user who looks super old. Seems like he would have been alive and in his prime during the original trilogy. Where the heck did he come from?

[@ForceMaximus84]

Yeah, the whole thing feels underdeveloped, which made Last Jedi more disappointing to me. I was hoping questions left dangling would be answered. And it wouldn’t have taken much time to do it. Just have Luke explain all of it to Rey (i.e. the audience) while telling her about Ben turning. But I suppose Rian Johnson felt the same way and decided to drop all of that because it was too conventional to continue a story in a satisfying way, I guess.

[@Max_Kraft]

Personally I not really disliked Rogue One (I think its could even be part of the old canon, where already many side storys about deathstar plans existed - explained with "They stole only one part of the plans"-) and even not "Solo" (but its still unnecessary), but for me Star Wars ended with the book Crucible by Roy Denning after the events of the Fate of the Jedi Saga. I'm in my 20s and Star Wars is not my one and only hobby. I haven't read everything (actually I bypassed many series & I haveto watch The Clone Wars) and with this personal canon I have enough Star Wars to read for the rest of my life and I'm okay with it. There are many fans like me out there. The Legacy era is like an optional addition, but nothing new and I disliked many aspects (like the stereotypical Sith). Whatever even this was more creative then the low reboot of Disney because Legacy was built on the events from all the other former canon books and comics and did something new with it.

[@kyotra]

_Supposedly_ the planets blown up by Starkiller Base contained both the entirety of the New Republic government and their entire military. Yes, that is as stupid as it sounds, and the fact that Starkiller Base could just magically blow up anything anywhere was lazy fucking writing. The Resistance is apparently a guerilla organization funded by the New Republic that operates behind enemy lines. this was of course only explained in supplemental material, material that next to no one who saw these movies read so it's all pretty much fucking moot.

Here's the problem with subverting expectations: It's not difficult -- all you need to do is something people don't expect. When Rey meets Luke, he could have punched her in the face, or been completely insane, or been eaten suddenly by a big bird -- all of this would have been unexpected. The challenge would be to do something unexpected, yet CLEVER and in keeping with what we already know. All Rian Johnson did was the unexpected.

The whole idea to make Ep7 a soft reboot really torpedoed the franchise in an insulting and hurtful way. By its very nature, a soft reboot undermines and partially retcons the plot and purpose of the original source material. It's fine to soft reboot something like Ghostbusters where the sequels were basically garbage. But it's not okay to soft reboot Star Wars! Like Plinkett say it's almost as though Rian Johnson was forced to do what he did or else just retread Empire! How bad would that have been? It's just sad how Disney not only made bad movies, but decided to throw Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, basically the entire point and impact of Episode 6, Yoda, and the prequels into a garbage can and shit on them. How long until they try to destroy all records and copies of the original 6 films?

RJ says, “The only thing i would really want is a good movie that delights me in ways i didnt expect.” Hey jackass, the problem is all the changes you made were distasteful and unbelievable. Its not the fact that you made changes, it’s the end result. Let me give u a food analogy that even Gordan Ramsey would agree with, becuz if you know anything about the upper echelons of cooking, it’s about making the dish better, not changing it for worse for the sake of it. Thats like if a chef wanted to make a delicious new dish at a beloved restaurant, so his bright idea is to take a favorite recipe and degrade it by changing what made it great in the first place and replacing it with the exact opposite, instead of trying to contribute to it which helps it reach another level (which is what all great chefs do, they ENHANCE IT by adding their own twist to a dish, they dont try to reinvent the fckin wheel becuz there’s a time and place for everything, genius!) Thats NOT what the owner asked for, the owner asked to make a known dish BETTER. He didnt ask to make a NEW dish with the same frckin name to try to fool customers. Why? Cuz thats not what the customers want, thats not why they keep coming back to this restaurant, so they can be tricked. They came to eat delicious food from a restaurant they know damm well, and whether its an old or new menu, it better be good for the same reason. So when it ends up tasting bad, he blames his favorite customers that it’s because it’s not what they’re used to and they dont have an open mind. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. In fact, a favorite customer, who is a big fan of the restaurant, is not only open to something new, they welcome it because they love the food there and would be excited to hear there’s a new, delicious dish, BUT TO A CERTAIN DEGEE- CHANGES THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE FLAVOR, MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. NOT THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT MAKES IT GOOD, NOT THE OTHER END OF THE FCKIN SPECTRUM. But then, when it tastes bad because it’s something that shouldnt even be sold in that restaurant, you blame the customer??? if you go to a delicious burger spot that wants to try something new, they should give you a new and different type of burger, not a shitty sushi roll. and? THE CUSTOMERS WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. THE OWNER WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. Yet the chef has the audacity to say the customers are a buncha “man-babies” ? What an idiot.

As much as people consider TLoK to be weaker than ATLA, especially since all the Korra seasons were separate small stories (rather than one giant three-season story), at least TLoK went through the effort to introduce new villains and conflicts and make the world feel like it moved on and progressed from the last series, instead of just rehashing everything or trying to “surprise” us with constant 180-degree turns.

I wish they never did the sequel trilogy. It is pointless from an artistic or creative point of view. The story ended perfectly in Return of the Jedi. This trilogy is purely a money-making exercise. They could've respected the Skywalker saga and just done Rogue One style stories to revisit the Empire era and maybe pick up with the legends of Luke after Endor etc. That would've been brilliant. Then their flagship could've been a brand new series set in a different time period will all-new characters.
