The Force Awakens The Last Jedi was the freshest and most creative star wars movie since Empire and Rian Johnson is a hero for trying to take the franchise in a new direction
This right here is the way. Yeah they had some singular scenes that were very nice. They also had a Casino heist in the middle of a Chase sequence. It was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. That’s that movie in a nutshell some really cool scenes right next to some of the stupidest shit you’ve ever seen.
Ooh that is one I vehemently disagree with lol. It was a ok movie if it was its own thing, but it wasn’t a good star wars movie, it was worse for being in the sequel trilogy as opposed to a stand alone star wars movie, and it was even worse for being the middle of that trilogy. The more context you add the worse it is imo
I’ve read that it could have been something if the third sequel didn’t change direction again. I tend to agree with that, the lack of consistency hurt the sequels a lot - why make a trilogy of narratively connected movies if you can’t even manage to get all the directors on the same page? Other than “I like money”, of course.
My main gripe with TLJ is that the editing is a total mess. Multiple scenes lose continuity between shots. The most egregious example is the milk scene, which in addition to being gross and unnecessary, was clearly jammed in between two shots meant to be continuous. Rey and Luke start walking down a skinny peninsula, no space cow in sight, then hard cut to space cow and Luke milking it, then hard cut back to the end of the peninsula and Luke setting down his stuff.
Yeah but not raw milk straight from the udder (unless you enjoy salmonella), letting it dribble down your chin and get in your beard (unless that’s what does it for you I guess, you do you)
I agree that TLJ was the best in the sequel trilogy. I still have very mixed feelings about it, but I do like a lot of it. And at least it was something different and unique, and I appreciate that.

I love the whole scene in the throne room. Nice supversion of expectation, great execution.
One of my main gripes with TLJ is that subversion of expectation kind of stops working when you do it like 5-7 times in one movie.
The other main issue is that Cantonica should have had a 15 minute podrace scene instead of the giraffythingies.

You know we drink milk from COWS right?

LOL. RFK.
Do you mean The Last Jedi? Force awakens was the first of the new trilogy and was directed by JJ Abrams. If so, agreed.
Ooops, fixed!
I didn’t hate the movie, but it shouldn’t have been the middle part of a trilogy that he didn’t have control over.
