The Last Jedi Action. Worse Than You Remember

Star Wars has had some of the most iconic action scenes in film history. Now under Disney, it’s not looking so good. Is the action in The Last Jedi any good? Or worse than you remember? Let’s look at some of the things they got wrong. Is Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy or Lucasfilm to blame?

There's actually a non-idiotic argument for saving Finn (having an enemy defector can provide tons of valuable intel,) but the one time Finn actually gets to do this in the sequels turns out to be a trap so we can sUbVeRt ExPeCtAtIoNs. I don't even know what his purpose in the story is now besides being Rose's boyfriend. In TFA he was the audience surrogate, the character who is confused by everything so people have to explain it to him and the audience, and he sort of had a rival arc that got completely thrown away. In TLJ all of that's out the window because there's nothing for him to be confused about. Then his arc is the question of whether he'll run away or die fighting, but they answer it with "none of the above", to sUbVeRt the expectation that character arcs actually conclude with change. What's left for him to do? I have to assume his time in Episode IX is going to be spent on a "will they or won't they" romance with Rose, because that's the dumbest possible thing I can think of for him to be doing. Finn was a really promising character, his breakdown at the start of TFA was actual good filmmaking, and seeing what they've wasted him on is worse than him just never being good.

Meanwhile the Finn, who was demoted over *saving the fleet* using their terrible resources (why did they have orbital bombardment bombers only?), gets treated like a suspected traitor or like a Karen treats anyone they perceive as “lesser”. She gives him a “don’t worry your pretty little head about it” when he questions what appears from the outside like insane panic (and was, since the plan was: “run to the panic room and call for help, while being chased by the guys equipped to destroy panic rooms.”) and then threatens to arrest him because he is questioning and thinking. I will admit, before the pure stupid of the plan, and the ridiculously easy to find holes in it, was revealed I was *convinced* Holdo was a traitor due to her actions (aided by the fact they played First Order music during her screen time and “traitor” music stings whenever she spoke) and attitude.

9:24 God I remember thinking this the entire time I was in the theaters for the sequels. They instantly throw the idea of the Falcon being a cantankerous-but-useful sort of carrier (as you'd expect a smuggler to have) and give it this identity of a legendary-but-unknown armored heavy fighter. Sure, Rey says it looks old at one point, but in TFA it's more nimble than a fighter (when they don't crash into Ilum after hyperspace jumping into the planet), in TLJ (as you see in the video) it's neigh invincible and a significantly better fighter than actual purpose built fighters less than 30 years old, and in TLJ they don't even consider that the Falcon could run into any real meaningful issues stopping it and just use it as a scene transition. The Falcon's condition and abilities went from being one of the main causes of conflict in the movies to being entirely disregarded

Tbh I like that one too. However, it wouldn't be possible for some reasons. The distance between the resistance fighters and the fleet of the First order were far off. It would be possible for Finn to disable the cannon (crash himself) if the distance were nearer. Nevertheless, if Finn weren't saved and was "sacrificed" in the film, the fighter and Finn would be roasted before reach it's eye making his heroic sacrifice useless. It's too late for him to disable a fired up cannon. The writing in the battle of Crait is bad, very bad. Like sacrificing your people instead of hiding behind a huge thick gate and prepare for a guerilla warfare. :c

I can’t. The Last Jedi literally only has one good scene (The Throne Room), but Finn heroically sacrificing himself might have redeemed this trash. It would have made far more sense than Luke dying.

That way we can think more and more into it, and maybe it will walk with us in our entire life.

Just ram the command deck at hyperspeed from out of gun range. Use a droid instead of a person, if no one is feeling suicidal. And the Praetorian Guard scene is filled with mistakes.

1) What do you mean by "being raised?" She lived on her own for the most part. 2) First of all, Rey is NOT an expert at flying the Millenium Falcon. Go watch the clip, she hits so many things. Second of all, it makes sense for her to know how to fly it because in tfa she said something like "I've flown some ships before but never left the planet." 3) Engineering is a bit questionable, but you imagine that constantly scavenging ship parts for over a *decade* would give her some sort of knowledge on how to engineer? Also, Rey's introduction, she had a hovering speeder. According to Wookiepedia, "Rey's speeder was made entirely from scratch by Rey while she was living on her homeworld of Jakku. It was created using scavenged parts from the starship graveyard on Jakku, Niima Outpost, or from parts acquired from Teedo traders." 4) Ships gunner? Are you talking about how she shot down the TIE-Fighters rather easily in The Last Jedi? Well, Chewbacca is an amazing pilot and was lining up the falcon with the TIEs so all Rey has to do is press the button. 5) A master of armed and unarmed combat? On Jakku, we see Rey beating up the people who were trying to take BB8 with a staff. She probably taught herself how to fight with a staff because there were many thugs on the planet and she NEEDED a way to defend herself. If you're talking about how Rey defeated kylo in TFA, it's because Kylo was emotionally compromised (like dude, he just killed his dad), he was wounded from some lightsaber cuts from Finn and from the bowcaster. He was also probably fatigued from fighting Finn. 6) She doesn't even master the force.

@@justoons2949 1) Thats right 2) im pretty sure you mean the scene when she took off. Well they were in a hurry so that makes sense. But after that she flew perfectly through a stardestroyer like no problem 3) she repaired the millenium falcon. Which is a CUSTOM made ship by han solo. And she fucking repairs it with no problem in front of him 4) it was not really shown that chewie helped her. It just looks like she magically hit all three of them 5) You really comparing fighting off some thugs with Kylo ren? Seriously? I think i dont have to say anything about that anymore. And btw there is a big difference fighting with a staff and fighting with a lightsaber. Oh and about kylo ren being "EmOtioNaL and hUrT" lol look at vader, he was at constant pain and even was stopped by his own suit to use more of his power. And he still wrecked a bunch of jedi 6) yeah she lost that one battle. But what about Kylo ren. She literally won every fight with him. And no, one year of training doesnt make you the grandmaster of jedi. Even before she trained with leia, she could use abilities which jedi had to learn for years. Example: Force healing, mind controll and lifting a whole mountain. Sry to tell you but she is a Mary Sue Have a great day

"We're out of fuel!" I don't think fuel has ever been mentioned in Star Wars up to that point. It's easy to write it so that they can't get away. Maybe the FTL drive is sabotaged on an important ship. Maybe the New Order is using some kind of device causing interference on their nav computer, so they can jump but it's risky as to where they will end up. Maybe they are flying through a special region of space that's blocking their FTL drive. The chase situation could be written so that the star destroyers don't have powerful enough cannons to hurt the rebel ships since the rebel ships have diverted all power to their rear shields. This leaves the sides and front of the rebel ships vulnerable to the TIE fighters, so Poe and the rebel X-Wings have to find them off. Meanwhile the ticking clock is the big bad, slowly accelerating New Order ship that has massive cannons able to destroy the rebel ships. It is managing to pick them off one by one. Will the rebels be able to reach their base before the big bad ship finishes them all?

You can assume Finn has been trained as a trooper on at least the basics. Yeah, he was on trash duty, but show me a soldier who never had to do KP or a similar crappy job. With Rose, you can also assume she has basic flight training; just because she's a mechanic doesn't mean she can't fly a ship. I'd almost guess it's like many of us being able to drive a car.

[@KentKaliber]

@@eduardobaiz9931 Actually the reasons that people dislike TLJ are completely valid. The #1 complaint is the literal VANDALIZATION of character Luke Skywalker. Luke is the GREATEST hero in the history of cinema, and Rian decides to make him into Grumpey-Cat, then have him die of Force-Exhaustion. We will NEVER get over such childish writing.

[@eduardobaiz9931]

Kent Kaliber Luke died pretty much the way Yoda died, by nothingness, just gone. Star Wars has other dumb deaths like Padme's, so it's not anything new. And well, watching Luke from ep 8, for the first time he felt like a real person. You know, he failed his family, the galaxy, the Republic, the Jedi Order... he screwed everything up by creating Kylo Ren, so he did what I would expect: hide himself from everyone, waiting death. He has some deepness (is this word right? Idk) in this movie. He failed, and as the movie goes on he returns to be the old Luke Skywalker and saves the Resistance. Rey and Yoda were essencial to light this spark in him again. What is the problem of a hero falling? Batman falls in the end of the Dark Knight and in the beginning of the next film

[@braedenh6858]

Making action movies where characters are developed and the plot is advanced in the midst of scenes of great tension is a lost art. One of my favorite all-time scenes is in Empire when Han, Leia, and crew are escaping the crumbling Hoth base pursued by stormtroopers and Vader. Throughout the scene Han and Leia are in a spat about priorities and respect while Chewie just wants to get to the ship ,Threepio stumbles along whining fatalistically, and R2-D2 prods him along. It's one of the finest, most hilarious action-packed few minutes in all of movie history. The characters are developed, their relationships and motivations are revealed, and the plot moves forward all in a moment of incredible tension! It used to be normal for movies to be composed of scenes such as that. The original trilogy certainly was. The old Indiana Jones movies. Goodfellas. The Goonies. The Exorcist. You name a movie you loved, and chances are there are scenes like this throughout. These days, with Disney especially, the focus is on Action divorced from plot or character development - the action is an end unto itself. Character and plot development are done through explication, if they are explained at all. How did Rey escape? Hux tells you. Why is Leia considered a great general? Because people say so. Anything important is simply told to the audience. Or it isn't. How does Rey learn to fly and defeat Kylo? Why is it important to her to fight the First Order? We are neither told nor shown. In fairness, using explication as a means to develop characters and plot isn't new. Shakespeare is kind of famous, and he did it a lot. He used soliloquoys to reveal motivations and 'messengers' suddenly arriving to develop plot elements. But it's important to know why he used those tools. It was because he was doing stage plays with limited budget and space. He couldn't show a battle or big action set-pieces. He had to use humor, slapstick, and clever lines to keep the audience engaged, while he used moving speeches to draw them in and make them care. Then a messenger would arrive to move the plot along. It worked well in his medium. Disney and Kathleen Kennedy don't have that excuse. They weren't limited in budget or space. They just forgot how a good movie was made.

[@ericsantucci6934]

The thing that gets me about the slow space chase is that it isn't inherently a problem that it is a low-action sequence of the movie. But the problem is that they don't replace that lack of action with anything meaningful instead. That slow space chase would have been a great opportunity to explore some meaningful character dialogue. Maybe we could learn about Poe's history under Leia or why she formed the Resistance, or Finn's life as a Stormtrooper. But no, we needed to have Admiral Holdo clipping off Poe's nutsack for 45 minutes, and we needed Finn to go on a silly adventure of anti-capitalism on Canto Bight with Rose.

[@deeppurple6925]

Eric Santucci Finn and Rose subplot felt like when you change tv channels and watch a different movie during commercials.

[@RogueFox2185]

They should have gotten rid of the chase scene entirely, use the shuttles to escape and then maybe Poe, Leia and the others could land on a Republic city world under assault by TFO. That would give us time to flesh out the galaxy better, it’s better than a 2 hour space chase at least.

[@ericsantucci6934]

@@RogueFox2185 Very true as well. All I'm saying is that if there had to be a space chase, they could have at least used that screen time to have some meaningful dialogue happen.
