I may get stoned for this, but 'tis was an interesting video. Not sure if I agree with it 100%, but feel it contains some truth to it...

YouTube video

Haven't watched vid, but iirc, Lucas pretty said he walked away from Star Wars due to the negative feedback from fans.

Lol bro: Star Wars Christmas Special was unique too.

I legit think it's possible that special gave me some form of PTSD.

That's like the face of a demon.

And don't forget about Han's Space Martial Arts. Makes Karate Kid look like a total noob:

Johnny would have kicked the shit out of Han, then broken his blaster just to be a dick. God damn 80s bullies.

There was a kickass soundtrack though. Everybody would be a dick if they had a dirtbike with that music playing.

So it's ok to admit I like the NT more than you. It's ok you're an ot guy hence your fascination with Rogue One.

Well plenty of Star Wars crybabies caused quite a stir over how much they hated this film so blame your fellow Ot loving curs if they derail the train for the future and decide to play it safe.

If we are just talking about the ST, then of course you are championing it more than me.

I like the nostalgia, but Star Wars always blows the imagination of new generations by treading new waters. So certainly not a fan of just imitating the OT. Which is why I liked a lot of things about this one, but had serious issues with TFA.

Alright let’s simmer down, comparing it to the Christmas special is insane talk

And he previous marvel films helped avengers become the massive hit. I'm not saying the previous films didn't help but I never said otherwise. I don't care about box office other than being profitable enough to keep this train running.

Thats good to know. Because you were acting as if TLJ beating TDK at the box office actually means something about the quality of the films.

Yes thats true about the Pre-Avengers Marvel films aiding Avengers.

I personally think the Last Jedi is ten times the film the Dark Knight is. I just love talking shit to DC fans. I'll take every chance I get to give them another **** you.

What a stupid comparison, they're both amazing movies in completely different ways

This has gotten 4 Oscar nominations (all in technical categories). So a decent chance it could win 1.

Jurassic World was a much better film than TLJ.

Dark Knight isn't amazing to me. It never has been and never will be. Last Jedi is pure win.

Finally saw this last week and I can see what all the controversy and the gap between critical and audience reviews was all about now. While TFA was a mediocre film that relied on being essentially a remake and having a heavy nostalgia factor, TLJ was just a pretty bad film IMO. Not surprising to me at all that there was major drop off in box office compared to the other SW films and the poor response in the chinese market.

It did have a couple of good moments where I felt like they were about to rescue the film but unfortunately it just didn't pan out. Very disappointing overall.

You are wrong as per the norm.

Care to explain why it is "bad"?
