Valkorion
Luke Skywalker running away and hiding on an island because he tried to kill his nephew
Holdo using a hyperspace ramming move that for some reason everybody doesn't use to end every space battle ever
Rose "saving" Finn by ramming into him which would have doomed the Resistance were it not for Luke's projection showing up
The Casino scene
Poe making a your momma joke
f*cking ww2 style vertical drop bombers
Snoke dying like a pathetic loser
The New Republic suddenly dying in like 24 hours and everything going back to square 1
Holdo hiding a secret plan and instigating a mutiny
Rey magically knowing how to do everything for no reason
Other (elaborate)

luke dying for no reason



everything else

I think the NR being destroyed, Rose 'saving' Finn(along with that horribly timed line and kiss) and the momma joke are top 3.

At least for me, those just feel so very out of place. The bombers while bad, I see it as "use what you have" kinda thing since the Resistance didn't seem all that big with tech other than the Raddus.

The others are bad, but not in the way I see those 3 top for me.

Do apparently journalists were felt under pressure to say they liked TLJ when they did not.

No surprise to me tbh, but glad someone is speaking out about it.

Im sure it was the same for TFA.

Chances of Episode 9 being great are pretty slim, given the set up. Its just gonna conclude pretty much the same as ROTJ.

The silver lining is that then they can move onto something different.

Abrams does visuals very well and his action sequences are very well done. If you doubt me fight me. I look forward to Kylo being an absolute terror combat wise in this film. You heard it here first, naysayers aka D. Thor.

You are so guideline and naive you make my skin crawl. You hate Disney I get it. When the film comes out and you it is awesome I will not hear it coming from you.

Kinda obvious though the way critics could never spot the blatant in your face faults of the ST.

No, your feelings are just too hard for you to logically assess anything Star Wars related.

At least the critics and journalists get some benefits to bending over. You just seem to like it anal.

Yep I feel like it's karma honestly.

The entire Holdo vs Poe subplot was retarded, and both sides of that conflict acted retarded.

Thinking about it, Poe was annoying the entire film, from his banter with Hux to the very end. A real 180 from how cool he was in TFA. Johnson basically assassinated his character.

Hux being nothing but comic relief the entire film- the FO being incompetent the entire film. The Resistance being incompetent the entire film.

Rose' character and arc was boring and contrived. Her romance with Finn felt forced.

What burns my ass about this movie is that there were glimpses of promising stuff. The film was beautiful, with some really amazing visuals. I'm probably the only one who thinks that Luke's death was fine and a fitting end to the character (it was everything before that point that was a mess). The potential was there, but Rian was too desperate to subvert the setting at every chance he got.

Nothing changes.

RealistRacism
TLJ criticism has become almost as cringe as the movie itself. People on both sides have now been reduced to just regurgitating talking points from shit articles and youtube videos. With that said, the movie is objectively bad, and anyone who still enjoys it should just admit this is the case and move on.

Also, the Star Wars brand is always going to sell, so the argument that it's good because it made a lot of money is just ridiculous.

quanchi112
Did Solo sell or flop?

RealistRacism
An exception to the rule, fan fatigue perhaps. If that's how you want to play it Quan, the proper Episodes will always sell, with the side-movies being a little less consistent.

I agree but the notion anything Star Wars related sells is done. Star Wars is not even the biggest franchise out there anymore. Nothing is bullet proof.


I also swear TLJ is objectively wonderful but arguing subjectivity is for the geeks out there. We are just nerds.

RealistRacism
It doesn't have to be the biggest. It's a famous title and the concept of 'space adventures' appeals to almost everyone.

Do you think it's a good movie for us nerds then? Because I sure as hell don't. Maybe it's a decent film for the normie crowd, but is that a good thing...? Disney have abandoned their dedicated SW audience for this milque-toast, cliche adventure film imo

Disney have abandoned their dedicated SW audience for this milque-toast, cliche adventure film imo It has a built in fanbase and is well known so it has advantages but as I said just because Avengers Infinity War did well does not mean Ant Man 2 even sniffed a billion. The idea matters a lot these days surrounding these brands. There is a lot of competition these days which was not the case in the past.


For me it was for you it was not. Just because we disagree it is still an opinion either way. I think TPM was sub par and Aotc was weak but that did not stop rots from being great to me. If you did not like it fine but that has no bearing on any future Star Wars films imo especially ones with different directors.

RealistRacism
Well in the case of Marvel, they're pumping out movies ridiculously fast, so fan fatigue is certainly the reason for spin-offs like Ant Man not being as successful. I don't really think that comparison is valid because Infinity War has been hyped up and looked forward to by many for a decade... So I see that as an outlier.

But nevertheless I'm just sick of TLJ talk, it's over and long gone. Why infinite threads need to be made bitching over details someone didn't like is beyond me.

DarthCaedus77
TBH I agree with RR, TLJ is yesterdays news, good or bad.

We now have Episode 9!....I'm annoyed that there's gonna be an odd number of movies now.

Funny thing is even Ant-Man grossed massively more than Solo. Showing the difference the current strength of the brand makes.

I also seriously doubt Avengers 4 will drop down to 1.3bill from the 2bill Infinity War made. (Thats what happened from TFA to TLJ).

So even the numbers are not showing the general audiences are loving this trilogy. Just that the Star Wars episodic films still sell.

A great film could easily enhance the franchise again though, I agree with that. I just personally dont see Episode 9 not being the same old same old.

But nevertheless I'm just sick of TLJ talk, it's over and long gone. Why infinite threads need to be made bitching over details someone didn't like is beyond me. I disagree since both of the other films hit well past a billion easily. Ant Man like Solo is not a great idea that appeals to the masses. That is why it failed to sell like the other two did. Brands help but the ideas matter. Thor 3 was great imo but did not get close to a billion either. BP was not and cruised past a billion so my theory the idea and strength of the film matters hold weight.

People like D.Thor cannot let their feelings go. They need to complain like a Disney exec raped their mom or something. Johnson is not even directing the next one and some posters still want to sweat over it and complain.

Neither sold well. Solo was an utter bomb but as I said from the get go terrible idea. Ideas matter.

Different buildup. Star Wars came off after 10 years of nothing while avengers is building to something. Star Wars is fine as a brand they just need to realize brand alone will not work. Need a great idea to market to the masses, kid.


I love it. Still well past 1 billion. Drop off sure but all the other mid films experienced the same thing. Let your feelings go. TLJ is amazing.

This was by far the biggest drop off. The last knight made a little over 600 million you ignorant hater. Bumblebee will not sniff a billion either. That is a quality film too. So they do not all cruise past a billion. Try to at least be familiar with the facts.

Still a heathy profit all the same. You claimed the brand is damaged but refuse to back it up. You are full of shit, kid. Called you on it. You are free to hate the new trilogy but just stop crying about it.

A little over 600mill is frigging amazing next to what Solo made.

Ah so what youre saying is Quality doesnt determine box office? Look everyone, Mr. Dummy here is finally clocking on. Solo was a bad idea but the film you claimed destroyed Star was was TLJ which made 1.3 billion. You claimed transformers films cruise past 1 billion I gave you two examples which are the most recent. By your logic I can cite TFA. Do you ever think before you press the submit button? Be honest.

Quality is subjective but marketing, word of mouth, etc. also factors in. You do realize there are a lot of variables not just quality that determines the box office returns. Seriously, you need to quit posting about how badly TLJ ripped your fairweather fan heart out. You hate it and think abrams sucks. You also hate Disney because you think they want to piss off the fans. Feelings. You cannot seem to climb out of them.

2 of the worst Transformers movies cruised past a billion. Up until the Last Knight each shitty sequel was making more and more.

Solo flopped and didnt make a Billion. Yes Disney Star Wars is full of bad ideas without a clear vision.

Now apparently out of nowhere Episode 9 will be a conclusion to the Whole Nine Episode Saga. They have never had a clear vision for these films and are now panicking.

Yes Bumblebee will be the least grossing Transformers film proving how dumb it is to equate Quality to Box Office.

You will be happy as long as Mickey Mouse makes a Billion from the next Star Wars film. Us actual fans will be happy when they actually give us something good. So far this trilogy has been dull and unoriginal. So we are not particularly excited to see how it ends.

So far this trilogy has been dull and unoriginal. So we are not particularly excited to see how it ends. Your opinion of quality only speaks for yourself. Clearly it is not working for the last two recent films but somehow you ignore TLJ 1.3 billion haul and want to focus solely on solo.

They are not perfect. Huge mistake but I said this from the onset. Nowhere did I say they were correct in every decision made that is your misreprentation of my position.

We will see. I bet they will end wonderfully and cruise past a billion. You talk about panic when it is just you panicking. Triggered over starkiller bases and saying Abrams sucks. You are the guy who is just letting your emotions spill onto kmc.

I never said that was the end all be all but you said the brand is really bad I said they will recover. That is the disagreement but you lack any testicles. Only way to price brabd power is by dollars not your pitiful feelings. You are pure talk no walk.


TLJ was the best. I expect another great film. Ren is going to do some crazy things. I have faith you are just lost. Just rewatch the older films since you hate Disney. I am lovin the new trilogy.

You will believe it because you want to not because it was proven. Only the weak minded fall for this kind of half assed hackjobs begging for YouTube views.

Absurd. You willignire all the other evidence of opinions disagreeing just to only listen to guys who share your views because you are weak.

RealistRacism
Who the **** is Kyle Newman? Is he even involved at Disney?

I know a guy who knows a guy who said that the Virgin Mary had a cock. That's proof thumb up

Darth Thor
^ He directed Fanboys. Hes a big Star Wars fan, is a good friend of Sam Witwer, And has other close contacts in the film industry and at Lucasfilm. So he might sound like a random to you, but ive followed the guy for years, so I know hes a sound source.

Of course hes not in with Disney, hed be fired for saying that if he was Lmao

His statement was about hardly anyone in Hollywood actually liking the film but with Star Wars being such a big thing for Disney they basically dont want to give a negative review and risk their future passes.

And honestly makes perfect sense. How 94% of critics cant point out the blatant unoriginality of TFA, or 91% not realise TLJ butchered Luke Skywalker, or how both films clearly made Rey a bland Mary Sue, is just absurd.

So yep I 100% believe him thumb up

RealistRacism
I thought you were pointing me to some insider source or something. Basically he's just a guy who directed a movie and you like him so what he says is true?

They are wrong about most movies, because they're out of touch. 'Critics' are just a meme at this point, they don't need to be bought off to make horrific decisions. They would've seen the token diversity and great effects and given the movie a 10/10.

He said he couldn't give names of reviewers who lied for obvious reasons.

Well yeah... But out of touch doesn't explain overwhelming majority of them simply ignoring the blatant and obvious flaws in the ST. Whereas a good load of them were nitpicking any flaws in the Prequels (and ROTJ) to death.

The worst part of TLJ is when everyone is an incompetent Space commander who even barely have a bit of common sense. Seriously, a supposed high-ranking military officer doesn't know anything about space combat. Oh wait, he's a general, not an admiral. Oh well, this proves, that Snoke is even more of an idiot.

McP
1. Super Leia! - without a doubt, the worst one for me
2. Luke as an illusion and the fact that this trick has killed him
3. Luke - who saw a good in someone as bad as Vader was - try to kill his nephew for a small spark of darkness
4. Hux and Poe opening scene
5. The fact, that a whole movie is about cheasing a one ship
6. Holdo overall, and her creepy flirt with Poe
7. Finn "funny" scenes
8. Finn being saved by Rose - I really wanted him to die
9. All-powerful Rey
10. The fact that that small kid at the end didn't seat on that broomstick and fly away to fight Lord Voldemort

I've seen that movie just once, and it was already too much. So I could miss some others stupid parts.

Yeah, the whole movie was terrible, easily the worst Star War's movie, perhaps rivaled only by Solo and TFA. The only movie that Disney did well was R1. And in my opinion it was pretty good tbh.
