Amazing what people are doing in their basements these days.

Makes one wonder what is going to happen to the mainstream movie industry.

Very nice, although the minigun scene was a little much. I wonder if they chose to go with the "right after Ep3" setting because its easier to find people who have clone trooper cosplay. They evidently have a lot of love for the Clone Wars era, I liked all the little ways they humanized the clones.

Pfft. I am sorry but I couldn't take that opening fight scene with Darth Vader seriously when all he did was just wave his blade around.

I mean I know that the armor he wears actually hampers his movements, but still....its a wonder how Luke lost the first time in Empire Strikes Back.

The first minute is good, even if its just a remake of that Vader vs Rebels scene from Rogue One. But the acting is...well...fan acting. There's a reason they're just fans, and not actors in Star Wars after all...

I tend to find that fans want just s repeat of whatevers already been shown. This sounds no different

I think most people can agree that The Last Jedi was not a normal Star Wars movie. I think that's great. Rehashing is terrible. But fans like Force Awakens more becuase its the exact same movie they liked. But I hated it.

I watch this fan made series if someone displays how this is different from normal Star Wars

I thought the consensus was that force awakens sucked for being a rehash.

Same but schadenfreude goes a long way.
My favorite thing to cringe-watch are still Sanic fan films though.

The Force Awakens sucks because it's "literally A New Hope all over again!", and The Last Jedi sucked because "That's not Star Wars" and the third is going to suck either from a combination of the first two or a completely new reason- probably something along the lines of it 'oppressing and emasculating ' straight, white male characters.

The box office said otherwise. So does all the analogies from Last Jedi haters comparing the movie to restaurant meals and how it wasn't the dish they ordered but Force Awakens was pretty close

Honestly, I think the actor doing Palpatine could've hammed harder. There was still some scenery left un-chewed after his last line.

It's great in theory. But it didn't work. It was still a terrible movie. One should be able to make an original movie that doesn't suck. The Last Jedi had so many problems with the story, characters, pacing etc. that I can't even wrap my head around all the things it did wrong. I still don't think it's as bad as the prequels, but I don't want to see it ever again, all the same.

I point out that the originals had exactly the same problem. I learnt from an early age that Star Wars is style over substance

I mean, what was Obi Wan's plan when he light saber battle Vader? Let's bring the Bad Guy to my friends? How stupid is he? It's like he wanted Luke to get captured. But Luke Force Ghosting to trick Kylo, and more importantly, BE AN ACTUAL DISTRACTION, is just a plot hole.

I'm not saying Last Jedi was good. I am saying it was better than Force Awakens. Becuase the latter turned me from Star Wars and my friends convinced me back by telling me how Last Jedi wasn't the same.

I didn't hate Force Awakens when it came out, and I still don't because I genuinely like the characters, but it did play it awfully safe and in retrospect I can say quite confidently that it's the worst of the new Star Wars movies and for all it's worth it did a lot of things wrong that would hurt the new trilogy in the long run.

Last Jedi always seemed to me like an attempt to rectify the mistakes of Force Awakens. Not that it didn't make a bunch of them in it's own right but it's still a whole lot better overall and probably stands as my favourite among the new movies. Though there's a chance I'm sleeping on Rogue One, I'd have to see that one again.

That's what I think but I'm not sure if that's the consensus. I'd say it's a lot more popular to pick on Last Jedi but it's questionable how much of that is sincere and how much of it is just the movie being intrumentalized to push a political agenda.

I'd say there was a half of a good movie buried in TLJ.
