      JJ killed star wars, Rian failed at making a good movie

      i don't think he's as great as his fans say he is nor is he some horrible monster that killed star wars like the SW nerds would have you believe. dude is just a competent director with a varied body of work, some good, some bad.

      >i don't think he's as great as his fans say
      Does he actually have fans? He made just one noteworthy movie (Looper) before becoming known as the guy that fricked up the sequels

      But how the frick did he pocket $100M for ruining Star Wars and got away with it?

        I disagree, he had just cloned some characters and story from the OT and everyone hated it. All he was left with was an obvious ESB story clone, he tried to shake it up as much as he could but failed.

            This is literally what Rian was left with. Rey is about to be trained by Luke (like Luke and Yoda), the not-Empire is bearing down on the Rebellion again, the not-Emperor wants to convert Rey to the dark side, the not-Vader clone is tasked to capture not-Luke but he has some good in him. He was left with the most unoriginal shit ever, and people rightfully shit all over TFA for not having any originality to it, so he was forced to shake it up somehow.

                Also Disney would reject your script because we need more planets to explore and some cuddly little creatures to sell toys.
                They would introduce a subplot where Finn had a long lost Stormtrooper lover who was taken from the same home planet as him, so he goes home and there's all these cute zebra like animals there he rides around on and him and his former lover have to stop the corrupt local mayor from being re-elected in a rigged election.

                Were people's expectations about the sequels met, across the board? Not really. Were they subverted? Sure.

                You can subvert expectations and have it work well for the story. Or it can simply not work. And "fanservice" is still preferable to giving the middle finger to fans, or much more accurately, to the concept of continuity.

        JJ gave the franchise to some random guy called Rian Johnson he saw selling hotdogs on the streets. So he is to blame for the absolute abysmal failure that the movie was as well.
        I mean, I guess I'm assuming he was the one who decided that. But really WHO DECIDED THAT. Did they think ESB's success was due to it being the second movie in a trilogy directed by someone who was not the first movie's director?
        Did an AI make that decision?

          morons like you blame JJ and Rian because you think they're "the guy in charge of everything" when really it's just the whole process that fricked up. The original Star Wars trilogy were made out of love and because Lucas had a story to express in a cool way. The sequels were made because everyone knows Star Wars and if you threw money at a director they'd end up with a two hour product that millions of people will watch, no matter how bad it is. That's ultimately the problem with these movies.

            I know, my comparison to them was just the choice of picking the second movie to be directed by someone different. Was it really a coincidence or were we supposed to drawn the parallel. And if so, it feels like a very artificial connection, like it was thought out by an algorithm "The second movie of star wars made huge success. It was directed by someone other than george lucas, the first movie director. Yes. That is the formula for success"

          TFA was good, but it felt very much like a kids movie, it wasn't at all suitable for adults. Star Wars 77 kind of had stuff that appealed to adults and kids. Obi Wan getting chopped in half after knowing him half the film was a big deal. morons will disagree with me but Han Solo's death had nowhere near as much impact for me as Alec Guiness.

          JJ wrote broad characters with no actual gameplan for the future, that's on him and has always been his problem.

          yeah the characters feel very bland to me. Maybe all except Finn.

          Despite being very kiddy and a little lame/cringe at times, I was excited for the next film. But it was a disjointed mess that jumped all over the place. At least in my opinion. I mean they had an opportunity to make something new and different, and I would've been fine with that. What they made even had potential, but was just waaaay too much.

          Also in the og movies, things like space fighters and cruisers, spaceports, hyperspace, all the general fluff of that universe just felt way more believable to me. In TLJ I almost laughed out loud when they had the special magnifying glass to spot the rebel ships

              I get absolutely where you are coming from but I still think he was one of the better done ones, its only in the second half that he really falls apart (in TFA).

              They should've done it like, he is desperate to get away from the adventure, but eventually realizes running away isn't the answer, and has to face his fears. But he needed to be a coward throughout, instead of letting him murder Phasma or a dozen other soldiers. I would've appreciated a story about a coward who wants to run away but by the end saves the day and gets the girl.

              It was also a HUGE mistake in my opinion to destroy the starkiller base. They should've kept that thing around for all three films as a constant presence controlling the galaxy. That would've been an interesting change from blowing up the death star twice in the original films. Make it so that attack fails, then it comes after them in the next film.

              At least this site is somewhat self-aware.
              To answer seriously, I think a lot of people underestimate probable studio meddling in the trilogy, JJ and Rian Johnson are both capable of making decent films, but there's this weird thread of terrible quipshit dialogue, introducing settings for no reason and other stuff throughout these movies. Just very commercial products with focus groups and product merchandising clearly front and centre. Certainly with RoS they must have given JJ a mandate to retcon a lot of RLJ, so the entire movie is spent backtracking and without anything of substance reintroduced.
              Also they probably should have got a real scriptwriter for the movies, for TFA and JJ especiall,. so it actually set up the trilogy properly. It's weird how they discarded that decent initial script for RoS in favour of more braindead JJ shit.

        You're obviously just butthurt that Luke wasn't the amazing Jesus-like character the Star Wars comics made him out to be.
        Most people agree the Luke/ Rey stuff are pretty much the only salvageable parts of TLJ. It's everything else that's objectively worse, like Poe leading a mutiny because Holdo couldn't be bothered to tell anyone her plan and Finn and Rose going to Space Monte Carlo and fricking up the capitalist scum there.

              Finn and Rose being boring characters doesn't automatically make Luke and Rey stand out, just because it's muh Mark Hamill.
              Ironically enough, I've seen TLJ fanboys try to make fun of the Mandalorian's handling of Luke for similar reasons. When in reality all it really did was get the basic concept of continuity right.

                No, your sole engagement with Luke Skywalker is as an action figure doing videogame shit to the point that he can be easily replaced by a stuntman in a deepfake helmet

                Yeah because Luke walking around with a dildo in his ass is a totally accurate description of his role in TLJ and you're not all a histrionic manchild crying that your epic childhood hero made a mistake and he didn't kill enough bad guys with his lightsaber

                At least he came close to killing his own nepwhew, as a Jedi does, and then fricked off for 30 years living as a hobo. It's in line with the established way of the Jedi. As is doing practically anything but harm a single bad guy in the movie. I agree though, those droids in the Mandalorian probably had women and children.

                Yeah because that moment was fricking awful, it was pure soiface pandering of "OMG IT'S CGI LUKE HE'S BACK!". I don't think I'll bother watching Mandalorian S3 now that they're trying to hamfist le ebin Jedi shit into the series, the initial joy of the show was that it didn't have that stuff.

                I'm so disappointed by Disney fricking that up, it's the only nuwars media I actually enjoyed and they had to ruin it.
                The people running Star Wars seem to have no fricking idea how to tell a story. It's funny how they made a bunch of Mandalorian spinoffs because their logic seemed to be "hmm people like Mandalorian because it's a Star Wars TV SHOW and not a Star Wars MOVIE. We need to make more TV shows instead of movies and people will love them because of Mandalorian!"

                And despite a few instagram posts, failed.

                Still, that was the reason the Porgs were introduced. That's the idea.

                Your issue is with Luke Skywalker as a character, not "the moment", or whatever. You prefer the person in TLJ.
                But here's what I'm trying to communicate to you. That person is a different character. Some character you would prefer to learn more about perhaps, but not Luke Skywalker.

                Yes. And there is nothing wrong with this, it's a sequel series made forty years after the OT, making Luke a different character is not ludicrous.

                The concept in and of itself isn't bad. I would go as far as to say it can have excellent potential. If one were to do their research on what exactly they're trying to apply this concept on, that is.
                >it's a sequel series made forty years after the OT
                And? That changes nothing. Make it a thousand years. The character is established as X thing by the end of the movie. At the start of the next one, he reverted back to Y thing, or a whole new thing altogether, that isn't in line with what has been shown throughout the character's development.
                I'm completely genuine when I say I would've been alright with the prospect of Luke being a spice addict on top of being a hermit. Give him more reasons to be this way. Kill his wife. Mara Jade was never all that original anyway.
                In the end, he considers murdering his nephew in cold blood, when he outright refused to do the same to his father who was a literal child murderer with a vice grip on the galaxy, and then he can't recuperate from this event for 30 years.
                Not even trying to establish any contact with his own sister.

                This isn't an argument, having him regress is fine in itself, clearly you just don't like it because it's heckin' Luke and he's a badass.
                >he considers murdering his nephew in cold blood
                Yeah considers it, and immediately regrets it.
                >when he outright refused to do the same to his father
                He didn't outright refuse, he almost did it. He considers it for a longer time and a lot more forcefully than he did with Kylo.
                >Not even trying to establish any contact with his own sister.
                The mother of the child he considered killing, yes. I would probably do something similar.

                He spends the original trilogy slowly becoming X person, through blood sweat and tears. Then he reverts to someone who is lesser than that, over an obstacle of milder challenge.
                That in itself pushes a person's concept of disbelief more than a flying Princess Leia (I actually liked that ridiculous scene btw)
                >Yeah considers it, and immediately regrets it.
                But simply talking about it, like he did with his father, who was for all intents and purposes a fricking psychopath at that point in time, is a big no no.
                >He considers it for a longer time and a lot more forcefully than he did with Kylo.
                Yes, but he was growing into the Jedi he would eventually become, and he was assaulting an opponent who had the upper hand on him by presumption. Most people to this day argue that Vader could've beaten Luke but didn't want to, due to being torn on his son.
                > I would probably do something similar.
                So you would abandon your own sister because her kid turned up with the wrong crowd and became rotten? That's not something everyone would do, but certainly not a Jedi. And that's the core issue here. If any person in Star Wars is established as a poster child for being a Jedi, going through the hero's journey, and so forth, it's Luke Skywalker.

                It's just a simple episode. It's actually a good way of advancing Walt and Jesse's relationship, bringing up Jane again, exploring Walt's deep depression and self-loathing. It was the kind of stuff that could only be done without action, it wouldn't make sense to bring up Jane again in almost any other setting, even the way Walt tells Jesse he killed her at the end is pretty contrived.

    In a big complicated process where most of the decisions were made wrong, the buck stops with the most influential person who could have changed course. That's probably whatever that kennedy lady is who signs director man's paychecks. She should have stepped in and said that Star Wars was getting stupid or delegated someone with an ounce of common sense to do so.
    But she didn't, and this guy was closer to the action, so yeah he probably owns a big chunk of the blame for taking a huge shit on the franchise. He was certainly in a position of authority for the worst of it.
    I think Knives Out pretty much established him as a corporate product Hollywood insider man with zero artistic merit or storytelling ability who can make cash for the kennedy b***hes of this world.

          No it's not. Fallacies like this just give people more reason to believe TLJ is the greatest pleb filter of all time.
          It would be unrealistic of me to say Rian is a terrible director. Rather, his ideas were not for this film, and if he absolutely had to direct something Star Wars, it may as well have been Kenobi, that could allow some of those concepts to work in a more universally appealing manner.
          But the thing with Rian is, he has said since time immemorial that he likes to make films that have a polarizing effect on the audience.
          So yes, this was all deliberate. I guess he considers such a thing a win.

              It's not a pasta. I did not like the TLJ in terms of it's writing, with a few exceptions. I'm being as fair and objective as possible.
              Ultimately, the whole negative impact of the ST could've been softened if, at the very least, the trilogy had been given to ONE fricking director and writer, be it Rian or Jar-Jar or AT LEAST have a cohesive pre-planned structure and general plot outline.
              Because if ST fans can agree with me on something, it's most likely that the films are disjointed from one another.

                Well the thing about TLJ is, I think it could've been better if Rian spent more time researching Star Wars and thinking it through.
                His confidence and selfish desire in making a polarizing film was what played him a bad joke. I think he could've revitalized Star Wars, not Jar Jar Abrahams. Although Jar Jar is adequate enough at doing set ups, and of course, playing into fanservice, although I don't care about this much.
                The thing is, the """"fanservice""" in Mando happens to coincide with who the character of Luke Skywalker is. So if that's fanservice and the soys will be agape, so be it. It's at least true to the character.
