SPOILERS AHEAD.

Tons of ridiculous things about the movie that made it unwatchable but it's unforgivable that the entire plot revolved around the First Order's inability to catch up with Resistance ships.

As horrible as Rose was and the drawn out death of her sister, I'm ok with this mostly as it's a give to the Asian markets (so at least someone actually thought about it). Asians like martyrdom and heroic deaths. Their characters will play well overseas.

I'm not a star warsmo, but fk, they wrekt the whole force thing. i get that the force is in everything but rey pretty much used it to snapchat with kylo.

i guess fans are pissed that rey turned out to be from prole background as opposed to any kind of force lineage.

re finn, they have no idea what they're supposed to do with him. should have left him that bubble suit in the beginning.

Luke force meditates on to the planet to face Kylo and buy the Rebellion time to flee... but despite taking a time out to have a chat with Leia, he never says, "By the way, I'm just buying time for you to get the fuck out, you should run." This causes Poe to come to the apparently correct conclusion that Luke is just buying time, but wrongly conclude that they can walk out the same way Luke walked in. Based on this logical but wrong reasoning, Poe leads them to a dead end. The remnants of the Rebel Alliance being in position to be evacuated by Mary Sue Jedi is mere fortuity. Or, I guess, THE FORCE.

It was both. Poe openly asks how Luke walked in and concludes they can walk out the same way (logical, but wrong). He then notices the ice fox things have left, but it turns out the way they're leaving is too small for people. He might have come to the same wrong conclusion even if Luke was upfront about being a force ghost, but we don't know. Luke hiding that he's not "really" there was pointless in-universe and just served to misdirect the audience.

that's true. if his whole plan is to buy them time to escape, then he would make absolutely sure they know that.

the same thing happened with holdo not telling poe/anyone who knows poe about her plan. it was a contrived plot device.

Rose and Finn go to the casino planet for a covert mission. Despite the fact that such a place would, like a real casino, have ample parking and an attendant to helpfully explain everything, they choose to park illegally for some reason, thus foiling the mission due to trouble with the law. The most generous interpretation is that they didn't have any money and therefore couldn't afford to park, but even taking that as a given the logical solution would be to drop one off and have the other stay with the ship and link up instead of parking the ship. Maybe that costs money they didn't have either, but then jfc if they literally have no currency whatsoever just how fucking shitty is this rebellion.

In real life, spies carefully observe local laws unless there is a reason not to do so.

They didn't need ANY fuel to keep going, there's no drag in space so they just needed to accelerate to the ship's maximum speed and then cut the engines and send all that power to shields. Also apparently they haven't mentioned needing fuel at any point in the series up until this movie, you'd think with fucking laser cannons and hyperdrives they would have figured out nuclear power by now.

- the fucking jokes and one liners were terribly stupid. The original "I'm on hold for the general" line in the beginning (as an X Wing was in attack mode approaching their ship and they did nothing?) set the tone for the entire movie.

- also stupid that a single X wing would have a chance against that huge empire ship (despite the fact that they try to explain it away by saying "our defenses are only designed for large ships" - forgetting the entire death star thing). In the original trilogy, I think Empire, they literally talk about the impossibility of a single ship engaging an Imperial Star Destroyer. Also where are the hordes of tie fighters?

- Poe's character was fucking stupid.

- Poe committed literal mutiny, and after he was subdued both Leia and Holdo agreed "I like him!"

- the fact that the empire has no tie interceptors or small ships that could attack the rebel ships?

- the fact that the smaller rebel ships all got destroyed - wasn't the tracking device on the massive Mon Calamari cruiser? Why didn't they just all disperse to different parts of the galaxy?

- did the Mon Calamari cruiser not have autopilot? If not, can one person fly the entire thing? (both seem unlikely, especially given that the bridge was destroyed). Holdo didn't have to die, seems like a cheap way to make her a hero

- the fact that Holdo was made commander of the fleet at all. Not even Poe knew what she looked like, and she somehow beat out ADMIRAL ACKBAR for the job, who literally beat the entire empire at the battle of endor

- basically the entire casino planet scene was stupid and pointless, a lib way of taking at jab at "the rich" - also the action scenes were stupid as fuck

- the entire Benecio Del Toro subplot was stupid as fuck. Actually made me angry. Is it really that easy for some third rate thief to successfully intercept and board an Empire cruiser? And then find the actual locator device on a ship that was probably 100s of miles long with countless levels of security?

- Benecio Del Toro betrayal stuff was stupid as fuck too

- scene where Finn and asian chick were about to get beheaded. Literally surrounded by Captain Phasma and hundreds of storm troopers (within feet of them), explosion goes off. When Finn comes too and starts running away, Phasma and an entire column of storm troopers emerge from the smoke - 100s of feet away??

- BB8 can literally do anything. Same bullshit they pulled in the prequels when "GUESS WHAT!!" R2D2 could fly and shoot lasers (??)

- entire premise of needed a huge gun on the ground a few hundred yards away to destroy the rebel base on salt planet was stupid

- what was the point of those salt fighter planes again? Why didn't the walkers and tie fighters take them out immediately?

- Why did asian chick stop Finn? She could have killed all of them

- when asian chick and Finn crashed, they were literally right next to the walkers and huge cannon. Yet they somehow, on foot, and in the wide open flat desert, made it back to the rebel base?

- lots of problems with the ease of Snoke's death. What was the point of his character anyway? If he was so powerful, why was he not in the picture in any of the previous films?

- when the rebels evacuated ship, why did they fly to the closest planet, where the Empire was flying right by too? In the Star Wars universe, even small X Wings have hyper drive. Presuming that these ships had hyper drive, why did they not just hyper drive to another galaxy where they could not be found? Again, this is under the assumption that the tracking device was on the main rebel ship. Even if all of them were tracked, why not disperse in different directions?

I could go on and on

It actually supports the central theme of the movie: every time a character disobeys orders, things go to shit. Poe told to chill, instead he sets up side hustle. Failure. Finn told to get *the* master codebreaker, instead he gets random guy. Failure. Finn told not to fly directly toward the beam, instead he flies directly toward the beam. Chick gets injured. Chick told not to stop Finn from flying directly toward the beam, crashes into him. Chick gets injured, beam not stopped. etc. etc.

It's much harder to have a minority antagonist because ljl @ libs.

So, Finn is supposed to be heroic, Rose is supposed to be kind, etc. Nobody would conclude from that all black people are heroic or all azngirls are kind, because people aren't fucking retarded.

It doesn't work this way with negative attributes. If you switched the Finn actor and the Kylo Ren actor and kept everything else the same, you fucking know there would be a million think pieces about how Kylo Ren steroetypes black people and Rey is a problematic white temptress playing on tired racial tropes of white women redeeming black men, #StarWarsSoWhite, etc., etc., etc. A major movie franchise cannot risk having a human villain who is something other than a white male, unless the protagonist has those exact same demographics.

So, e.g., the Avengers can face Loki, a bodiless AI, and (soon) an alien, but they would never team up to take down a black dude. Captain America will never be pitted against a female antagonist. Black Panther can face a black dood in his own movie, though, and of course there would be no problem if he fought an evil white guy (and he probably will in the second movie).

Shitlibs have taken us to a strange place.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the fucking Mandarin, which is probably the most incredible example of this at work. Iron Man is a white guy so, of course, his movie antagonists are too. But they wanted to use THE MANDARIN for one of the movies. As you can probably tell by the name, the Mandarin is a Chinese bro. What do? Simple: In-universe, he's a white British criminal being PAID to pretend to be Chinese by a white American guy. Seriously: http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Trevor_Slattery

Right. Movies get dingfagged for having one minority character with a negative attribute because that's a steroetype, but there's no corollary inference for positive attributes. If shitlibs REALLY don't like a work, the presence of minority characters is mere "tokenism."

I know it's easy to make fun of (((GC))) but I feel like, that for a rational person, I have an above average understanding of the shitlib mind and I'm really fucking glad it's not my job to accommodate these people.

Cr. Yet the role as a Star Wars villain is much larger and more important and would likely give the black actor greater fame than being some middling sidekick to the Mary Sue Jedi

It's some term that developed for a character that seemingly lacks any flaws. I had never heard of it until it was used to criticize the Rey character when The Force Awakens came out.

Mary Sue (or Marty Stu for men) is a term that comes from fanfic and represents, basically, an original character created in a work that is immediately the best at everything she does and gains cheap points by being universally admired by established characters. This usually, but not always, involves one of the established characters falling romantically in love with them. Rey is perfect at everything she does. Other than the quest to find her parents and a brief attempt to run away in TFA, she has no flaws and she isn't bad at anything.

Examples:

-- The flight sequence at the start of TFA. Is there any reason a desert scavenger would even know how to fly a ship, let alone pull off the fancy maneuvers she does? No way. Notably, Poe is theoretically the hotshot pilot, but we've seen more of her flying. While we're here, Finn isn't better at her than anything either, except for specific intelligence about how the First Order works maybe.

-- The light saber sequence after Snoke's death. She and Kylo takes on Snoke's elite guard. Rey first picked up a light saber like four days ago in-universe.

-- THE FORCE. How do we establish she's strong with the force? Well, Luke is still alive, an acknowledged Jedi Master, and Mark Hammill will do anything for a dollar, so pay him to say that the force is really strong with her and she'll be the next Jedi.

EDIT: Let me put this another way. In the OT, Solo/Leia/Luke each had their own strengths and weaknesses. The sequels have done away with this concept. There is essentially never a situation where it's better to have Poe or Finn than in is to have Rey; their existence is justified only by the fact that she can only be in one place at one time. A theoretical Luke/Luke/Luke team would have been a disaster, but a Rey/Rey/Rey team could take down the First Order before breakfast.

Mary Sue is a derogatory reference to a perfect character in a fantasy setting. I believe it arose in the Star Trek universe where a lot of fanfic originated, and oftentimes young girls would write a fictional version of themselves into the story with canon characters, except they would be superior and perfect in every way. For example a Mary Sue would save Captain Picard and Spock against impossible odds then be made into the youngest fleet commander ever, and everyone would swoon over her all the while she destroyed all enemies without much effort.

This movie is a colossal failure.

I said in a prior thread and I will repeat it here, shitlibs will quote the gaudy numbers but that only tells a small part of the story.

First of all, Disney paid 4 billion dollars to acquire the IP rights to Star Wars. They also spent an estimated $800 million in production and worldwide marketing on TLJ.

Second, if you compare TLJ's revenue trajectory to that of other Star Wars films you will see that it under-performed in a jaw-dropping way.

- The Force Awakens opened at ~$248 million and ended its domestic run at ~$936 million.

- Rogue One opened at ~155m and ended at ~532m.

- Meanwhile TLJ opened at $220m (~89% of TFA's opening) and finished its domestic run at $594m (~63% of TFA's domestic gross).

- Even more glaring is the worldwide: TFA did 2.07 billion worldwide. TLJ is at 1.27 billion and unlikely to significant boost that figure at this point. So yes, an $800 million/40% loss in revenue is a huge failure.

In addition, TLJ lost more than 85% of its domestic audience after opening weekend which is far, far more than most AAA releases lose. Obviously most lose huge percentages but 85% is a very concerning number. This strongly suggests that people were willing to give it a shot and their goodwill may be used up.

Plus the fact that audience reactions are so tepid. TLJ is considered one of the worst in the franchise by audiences and it is very divisive. This does not bode well for a franchise which has historically kept its core audience.

The movie is also out of China after two weeks and shit numbers. This is a big deal as China is a major movie market that, at this point, they will probably not be able to tap into.

Also consider that the next standalone movie, Solo, is shaping up to be a disaster. It's probably another $150m-$200m in production costs at this point and they haven't even started marketing releases which suggests that they're just looking to minimize losses.

After that, the sequel to TLJ will be released to a totally lukewarm core audience. If they go $800m on their budget again, they might struggle to make it back, and I'm 100% serious about that.

This to me is akin to the NFL disaster. They gave a big 'fuck you' to their core audience, and they tolerated it for a while, and then when the ratings starting to falter, they found any reason except the obvious to explain it away. And this year they've continue to slide and not even the playoffs have recovered. (Side note, with three jabroni teams in the championship games they'll probably continue to be terrible ratings).

So yeah this movie is a huge failure.

ROTJ and ROTS both did much better than their immediate predecessors. I don't think they're too worried about ep. 9

I suspect that for multiple reasons IX will take place years, perhaps even many years, after VIII, and will be more of a blank slate than TLJ
