Stupidest Things Said Defending Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Are the Last Jedi defenders crazy? Let’s take a look at what some of the Star Wars fans have to say. How stupid can the defence of Last Jedi get? Can Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson be defended? Has Star Wars finally lost its magic?

To Stratowind = Yes, training in the Force is more metaphysical than physical. Robot Head was just highlighting how Rey zero-to-hero progress goes against the decades of lore that was established by the franchise. Maybe it is true that "darkness rises and light to meet it," but it was like Rey won a the space magic Powerball lottery without even purchasing a ticket. That blind guy in Rouge One needed years of training. Yoda studied and instructed the Force for centuries, and he still needed extra training by Qui-Gon Jinn. There's around three years between Episodes 5 and 6, in which Luke spent time privately training, so he could help save Han Solo and go toe-to-toe with Darth Vader. Typing of Vader, Anakin Skywalker, the immaculately conceived, off-the-scale midi-cholorean percentage, Chosen One of the Force, needed years of training in order to become a person that even Emperor Palpatine feared. Therefore, it becomes an incredible hard pill to swallow that Rey was able to do all that she could within the span of at best 96 hours? Yoda was a Master Jedi for hundreds of years, but he needed his full concentration to life Luke's X-wing out of the swamp. Rey lifted dozens of boulders on her first try, and she din't even have a frown on her face. And even if Rey basically "downloaded" Ben Solo's training during the mind probing, that still means that Ben Solo had years of training by Luke Skywaker (and presumably Snoke) to become badass enough to conduct a casual conversation while suspending blaster fire in mid-air. As I've often said about Episode 7... The Force doesn't just awaken in Rey. It got up, showered, shaved, put on its clothes, at breakfast, drove out of the garage, and is on its way to the office. LOL

"You don't like strong women." It's not the characters, it's how they're written. Look at Ahsoka. In the Clone Wars movie, she was just a cliche cartoon character. A lot of fans hated her. Then, over the course of the series, she became a legitimately strong character with her own moral compass and even developed her own views on the Jedi Order in general. Hell, she became one of the most important factors in Anakin's fall. Then came Rebels, where she became one of the most important people in building the Rebel Alliance. She went from being seen as a completely pointless (and kind of annoying) character to being a fan favorite because of good writing and storytelling.

For anyone unfamiliar, Jania and Jacen were Han and Leia's twins - specifically, Jania was their daughter. Not only was she beloved by fans, she was an objectively well-written character. AND her enemy being Jacen - who was her brother - added a unique, emotional layer that the Rey v. Kylo "enemies to lovers rehash # 9 million" could simply never possess. Apparently, Star Wars fans hate female characters so much that a lot of us are cross they replaced a female character with a worse-written female character.

You realize that Kylo is actually wrong in saying that right? You don't let the past die; you reflect on it, improve on it, and cherish the good moments without dwelling too much on it. Sure, you might argue that Yoda's burning of the Jedi Tree is a sign that he also believe this, but remember that the Ancient Jedi Texts were still intact (somehow) on the Falcon. I felt like Yoda was testing Luke, testing him and his beliefs, whether he actually wanted to burn the tree. This aside, I highly doubt that Rey is a nobody. It should be clear that she was serarching for answers in a clearly dark side-infested sinkhole, as well as her conversations with Kylo. I feel like the dark side is attempting to influence her, and because the dark side has been known to be more powerful in combat than the light side (the light side has been taught to use their powers to defend, not attack) and has possessed more abilities (force lightning), this would explain why Rey is so powerful, but she doesn't have a clue what the Force really is. But that's just my theory.

And he fucking chucks it across his shoulder.

[@ZeroFilmClips]

@@gplgs4640 I do agree with that. Although I love Luke's arc and story in the film, the whole cliff-top sequence is problematic (even in TFA - It looks like he's taking a piss over the cliff-edge). I think the problem Johnson had was trying to make it a 'moment' instead of being anti-climatic. It had to look as if Luke resoundingly rejected it, instead of seeming to just not particularly care. The moment had to contain some feeling of 'shock' at his response, instead of disinterest, and simply handing it back may have been a slightly confusing response. Although the throw seems clumsy, his feelings are made very clear, so it does work on that level.

[@accordion2kevin742]

The fact that Mark Hamill tried to warn everyone made me like and respect him even more. You can tell he actually cares about the fans. After Force Awakens I only watched Last Jedi to see Mark Hamill's performance as Luke. He's a great actor too bad he wasn't allowed to actually play Luke.

[@mrmorhouse]

I felt the most betrayed when they re-shot the first meeting between Rey and Luke probably more so than at any point ever during any entertainment. And I'm talking video games books movies etc. The fact that Johnson had to re shoot the end of TFA to coincide with his 'vision' or wtv the fuck you call it for star wars in a conscious effort to subvert fans should have been an eye opener for Kathleen. You can't take those moments back from people. Cinema doesn't work like that TFA. With that said hopefully JJ hss the balls to do to Johnson what Johnson did to him and reshoot the last scene from TLJ and maybe let Luke collapse on that rock instead. I can only imagine the thunderous applause that would get. Its only fair.

Some of the greatest movies and stories of all time are kids movies. The same people using that argument are also hyped and lined up ready to watch the latest Disney content, which includes Marvel. They're harry potter fans, cartoon fans, ect. Like the idea of watching a fictional movie (which is just a telling of a story with visuals so you don't have to imagine) or listening to fictional stories is childish. Or am i wrong? That argument is bullshit as jt implies that there's something wrong with having some childish desires or that something "childish" can't be good. Damn look at me rant.

[@randomloser4674]

Empire no but one can make an arguement for Return of the Jedi. 1:The plan for Hans rescue made no sense. 2: The teddies were nothing more then a cash grab. Not to mention it made the storm troopers looked even more comically inempt. 3. Luke throwing away his light sabre and exclaiming "I'm a Jedi like my father before me" was incredibly retarded. But you know he risked the whole war on the fact that he sensed the good in him. 4: And of course yet another sink the bismark plot (blow up the deathstar).

[@nykerianash1590]

random loser At least it can stand it’s feet with amazing characters, instead of trying to copy and paste. At least their plans made more more sense than anyone in the last Jedi could come up with. At least Luke wasn’t a Mary Sue. At least the Empire strikes back didn’t try to subvert every expectation and fail at that.

[@randomloser4674]

@@nykerianash1590 What exactly was Hans rescue plan in return? I'm going walk through the chain of events. Tell me how much sense it makes. Step 1: Have Lando infiltrate and gather intelligence to report back. Step 2: Send droids with my terms and smuggled light sabre. Step 3: Princess Leia gives them yet another prisoner to infiltrate and fail her rescue attempt. Thus giving them 3 more prisoners in play. Step 4: Luke goes in unarmed and gives Jabba his terms face to face partly hoping to mind trick him. He very nearly dies and lucks out on them not straight up shooting him after the Reigncore dies. Step 5: All are in prisoned and Luke saves the day, lucking out on the fact that none of the extra bodies were harmed. From any military stand point what lick of sense did any of that make? Now I'm not going to defend the new movies because they suck. However I'm sick of people turning a blind eye to how much Return of The Jedi sucked and acting like the whole original series was a magnum opus. New Hope was good. Empire was good. Return sucked. Everyone gave it a pass because the first two were that good and it tied up loose ends.

[@mrgar4446]

While re-watching this video, it really dawned on my that The Force Awakens wasn't all that bad. Sure, it had its not-so-great moments, and wasn't super original, but I remember a lot of fairly positive reactions to it. Personally, I believe that Rian Johnson derailed all of the setups that The Force Awakens created, and because of all of the derailing, he left Rise of Skywalker with no setup, nowhere to start, and most importantly nowhere to end. Yes,The Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker definetly could've been handled better (especially the latter of which), but I think that the main reason for the trilogy's failure is Rain's disjointed mess of a Star Wars film.

[@stickvortex]

I’ve just realized that among all the other problems, the sanitation of violence in Star Wars takes so much weight away from the movies. I just don’t understand why you would make such trash when you have so many amazing possibilities and so much potential. It’s just an expensive lazy cash grab, that’s the problem. There is no passion in this new series, it’s just a product. It’s no longer a vision.

[@Simbabweman]

It's so annoying knowing how Mark Hamill, someone who really cares about the story, the characters, the fans, the lore in everything he does, disagreed with so much going on in the film and was forced to portray his character against how he knew him. When someone who had played the character for years, had continued to talk and learn about him for years to come showing true devotion to the role, disagrees with how YOU (Rian Johnson, someone who's done fuck all to do with Star Wars) want to portray him, just listen to the man. He knows more than you. Listen to the fans as well. They are the ones who make or break you and you didn't listen, now look where that got you.

[@mysteryman4915]

It really makes you wonder what would happen if Mark Hamil was allowed to direct a film. You never know.

[@sunsoar1822]

When it comes to luke skywalker Mark Hamill is the definitive expert on the subject. Not saying you don't give him a script and direct him. But if he says that XYZ is out of lukes character, then you take that on board, period. If he says luke wouldn't do XYZ, you don't think... "maybe he's right," you think, "he is right, how do i fix it" The only higher authority on the character is George Lukas and you know even he'd be thinking the latter not the former.

[@fa1ry_juice]

Mark Hamill wanted to play Luke Skywalker's Evil twin. I don't know if that would've been a better idea.

[@buckbaker7747]

It's not as simple as "just listen to the fans," as an example, look at the Call of Duty series. Whenever fans want something, they get it, but they usually hate it. Because the community is so divided that pleasing 50 percent of your audience makes the other 50 percent fucking hate it.
