@mjarbo Clearly Luke was never meant to be alive in Ep 9...

The Last Jedi doesn't know what kind of movie it wanted to be. Was it a legacy sequel? Was it the middle film in the trilogy? Was it the end of a trilogy? Rian Johnson had "ideas", but not enough time to formulate them effectively for the audience. Sadly, this is Kathleen Kennedy's biggest failure at Lucasfilm...she didn't reign him in to protect the integrity of the trilogy/story. Following the death of Carrie Fisher a year before the release of The Last Jedi, the minimalist thing they could have done is NOT kill off Luke Skywalker by cutting that last scene with him by 5 seconds. Those 5 seconds could have saved the sequel trilogy. But nope. So I have to ask why? At what point during the post-production on The Last Jedi did they all stop (and this is after JJ had been brought back on to finish the trilogy with TROS) and go maybe this isn't a great way to end the middle film of the trilogy?

@Shuttlecock That video was from before the movie came out...

So much hatred

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

@langofmind Clearly you're bullshitting for clicks 🤣

Everyone is giving the wrong reasons for why this sucks. It sucks because Darth Maul is a non-character. He's a guy with horns who has no interior goals or desires. Why is he here? Why are they fighting? None of this matters, and it's not about anything

@Tungsten__Cube @MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs What's that got to do with the fictional story we are discussing?

@UKStarWarsPod @MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs And I have an invincibility shield and you can’t hit me!!!!!

This is such a dumb complaint because it quite literally implies that it took some Jedi 300 years just to learn how to simply jump

@9mmballpoint You think Anakin's full turn against all he knew and loved would be over 'in a moment'?

Because it turned what was supposed to be a dark and tragic moment into a 20 minute gymnastics rave

@Tungsten__Cube @MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs Rey is part of a dyad not seen in millennia, she also has Palpatine blood, and she does most of those things quite by surprise... like she was "I'm gonna mind control this trooper now" 🤣 Anakin used the Force at 9 years old to pilot a podracer, what training did he have?

@UKStarWarsPod @MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs Force healing, matter transference and immediate use of abilities like force pull and mind control. Shall I go on or are you ready to independently analyze the sequels?

@agraybee It's the fifth best Star Wars film... what you on about?! 🥴

Rise of Skywalker is possibly the worst mainstream Hollywood movie ever made and your criticism is "uuhhh how come that kid could pull the sword out of the stone when all those strong guys couldn't."

@Tungsten__Cube @MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs "He couldn't do half the things... " List them please.

@MelodyMacReady @jtimsuggs Yeah I mean Anakin was literally force Jesus and he couldn’t do half the things she did Also his genealogy makes sense while Rey being Sheevs granddaughter is out of left field lol

@jake_theviking Who is 'we'?

No. No they won’t. It’s been 10 years since Force Awakens and we still hate it

Only #StarWars fans will see it...

@ImperialActivty @STAR We hear you, our friend - we will be back soon! Keep monitoring comms 🫡

A Good Lot of @Star Wars chatted going on lately ! I Know @UKStarWarsPod Is Watching ! But !? Where are they ?? Most might not Miss you 2 I'm not counted amongst "most"

@JAYAS0L0 How do you know it's "useless"? 🥴

this is the most useless series ever however i have been intrigued by the growth of this style and fluidity in animation so maybe i am sat

MARROK!

Let us have our revenge. The all-new series Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord streams April 6 only on @DisneyPlus.

@bloodoftheland You must be new around here... 🙄

Cool the official Star Wars account hired some 12 year old to drive engagement on their social media by repeating old memes making fun of the movies

@RuinTheManbaby I remember when OT figures could be bought for 99p for 2...

Don't you just love it when you find a bargain...

@IntangibleCat64 @Yezzylover530 @anabelle_dawn Why are you asking?

@UKStarWarsPod @Yezzylover530 @anabelle_dawn are you retarded or what

average rey hater

@CrusaderTraya 😂 Ok... have a good day.

@UKStarWarsPod So disingenuous. Got it.

The prequels were good, but he showed he had lost the sauce with TCW having zero consistency with the films. Still preferable to Disney though.
