Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi - Page 12

the leader lady didn't just TELL EVERYONE HER PLAN. If she had, Poe would have realized his own plan was stupid to the extreme (in fact, without his plan her plan would have gone off without a hitch, since they wouldn't have had Mr. McBetray tattle about the shuttles he shouldn't have been told about anyway).

Bothered me too. Why not tell people in commanding positions what your plans are? The girl who helped Poe didn't even know the plan ffs and she was on the bridge.

would be doomed if there were ANY moles on the ship anyway, since everyone would be evacuated and since they're being tracked instantly the mole could tell the Empire instantly. Under those circumstances you tell everyone the plan so you don't have a psychotic hot-shot pilot ruin it. And when you DO tell the pilot the plan, you don't omit the part about having a secret base on hand that you're trying to reach.

- So Luke left behind a puzzle to be found if needed, but doesn't actually want to be found.
- The finish to Kylo's training is to execute Rey? At the end of TFA, Snoke implied that he has methods to strengthen the yet amateur Kylo, but killing Rey would not have accomplished anything. At the very least he should have battled her. Absolutely senseless.
- Rey was supposed to be trained by Luke. He refused it. Then he agreed to it, but did not actually train her much. Luke dies, Rey is the last Jedi. This is so many continuity and general fuckup in one that it deserves at least 3 paragraphs on its own. In the end, no one was fucking trained at all in this movie!!
- Rey was given to an old dude to take care of her. TLJ said fuck that, she was a nobody, which makes no sense, because why would that guy take care of some hobos' daughter?! Yes, J.J. can retcon this plothole, but for fucks' sake, at least adress it.
- Knights of Ren? Anyone remembers?
- The visions of Rey and how she saw Kylo and his Knights? Cloud City? The oh so important lightsaber NO ONE GAVE A FUCK ABOUT in this movie?
- Snoke. I couldn't care less if he lived or died, but TFA introduced him as the main villain, so how about addressing it? I don't want Palpatine-levels of backstory, but Jesus Christ, that was a huge middle finger for the audience.
- Finn and Rey were shaping up to be a love interest, but Rian forgot to watch that movie, so now he introduced another one for him. I'm sad we won't get a third director for the last movie, so that Finn could earn the trifecta.
- "Rian, we've got a Finn versus Cpt. Phasma storyline that we need to resolve." "I don't want to" "... Rian, J.J. wrote it into TFA, we really need to address it." "No." "Can I at least ask my Mexican cleaning lady to write a 5 minutes long scene between them?" "You get 3."
- "Rian, what should we do with Finn overall, who was called as an expendable token black character, but was actually really good in TFA?" "Pair him up with an actual token minority character, who serves no purpose and keep him away from my main plot as long as possible." "Okay, but what should we do with him when he gets back?" "I don't know. Frankly, I don't understand his purpose in this new trilogy and J.J. doesn't answer his phone."
- BB-8 was turned into a god. He was written as the new R2D2, but now he can gag and tie 4 guards with guns, and get to an AT-ST and murder everyone.

The only things Rian Johnson actually followed up from TFA were Rey's, Kylo's and Poe's character. They more or less continued on their path, but the lack of meaningful training on the island - where the majority of Rey's screen time were - made Rey really dumb. Which is sad, because she was like a lightning ball in TFA, but apparently it was more important in TLJ to be funny, than to actually cement her as a foundation as the last Jedi.

Edit: and these are just the continuity flaws. Don't even get me started on Leia being able to fly back to her ship but unable to move rocks.
