Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi - Page 16

The Opening:
Was actually fun, completly ridiculous with a single X-Wing basically owning a capital ship destroying all its Turrets - besides the two turrets that actually matter.
The Bombers were also cool but made no sense, for some reason they need to be above the enemy Ship to drop their bombs – in friggin space (just turn your ship ffs).
But ok, this was fun and Star Wars doesn’t need to make that kind of sense .

After this it went downhill.

«The Chase» and everything on the Resistance-Ship:
Fin wakes up and walks around and no one gives a shit about the poor guy until he accidentally runs into Poe.
It features the slowest «chase» ever and apparently the New Order is too stupid to just jump a few Ships ahead. They are also not willing to lose a few Tie-Fighters because as it seems, completly erradicating the Resistance including its leadership isn’t worth a few Tie-Fighters – Which are completly capable of destroying it. The part they destroy with Leia and General «no one ever cared about» also seemed to host no critical system because its destruction didn’t seem to impact the ship at all.
They are fast enough to get out of «lasers do dmg range but still reach and can destroy transports with 100% accuracy despite them being even farther away and obviously having long ass travel time» but can’t lose them completly. Yeah, they are unshielded but still.
Cloaked Transporters can be spotted by «activating cloke spotting device», which for no reason wasn’t on before.
The resistance ship also has no autopilot but can be flown by 1 Person, which isn’t even a Pilot. It also can’t just move in between the Transports and the Fleet, because who knows… Rather directly suicide. Atleast the explosion looked cool (why not do this with the smaller ships before they go completly empty?).
Not telling your best Pilot, which is a known hothead, your reasonable plan for no reason is also totally normal.
That Leia is now space jesus too scene… I actually couldn’t believe this when i saw it. Ugh…

Other stuff:
Casino Planet? Fin storyline in general? I haven’t heard anyone thinking this part is good. A bit of social commentary and „guy we didn’t search but also capable of doing exactly what we came here for happens to be in our cell“. False parking is also a reason to be thrown in jail but your ship will be just left in place because, fuck you, we need another explosion in this movie.
Rey just goes to visit Ben by letting herself get captures because. The Plot needs to advance NOW. They can talk and even touch each other whiteout being physically on the same Planet/Ship/Sun System. Why even travel?. Luckily Snoke, despite being uber powerfull and capable of reading minds, connecting people and so on can’t feel, hear or see the Lightsaber right next to him turning around by force manipulation. Before that the Rey/Ben scenes were pretty much the best stuff in the Movie, then they went full retard.
Fin and Girl escape because luckily one Ship was completly unharmed despite the whole Hangar they are in being a giant mess.
Rebell base whiteout an exit closes --> Man the trenches (wut?) and send out the speeders (wut?). Crystal Foxes seem to also be into politics and decide to join the Rebels in their base (wut?). All empire troops decide to stop shooting when Fin decides to suicide (wut?) so he can be „safed by high speed crash“ (wut? How did she even catch up).
Also: Door-Ram-Laser. Why they didn’t just fire this twice and just end the Rebellion.. Who knows. How they knew they should bring their Door-Ram-Laser… DOOR RAM LASER… Oh, just fuck this movie.
Luke decides to die after the one time in the movie he did something that Luke would actually do.
Millenium Falcon because, Millenium Falcon! Which leads away T-Fighters and then doesn’t get back to the Rebells to help them because, who still gives a shit at this point?
Rebel base with no exit also happens to have an exit blocked by a bit of rubble, you can even see outside from it… FFS.
In walking distance from the holiest Jedi place is also some „Evil“ hole in the ground. There is a strange mirror that tells you absolutely nothing and lets you just leave after you played with it a bit, snipping your fingers is apparently the coolest thing they came up with.
Distances and Time also really don’t matter. Travel is basically instant as soon as you have a ship. No matter where in the Galaxy you are.
BB88, is there anything this thing can’t do? He’s worse than prequel R2D2, which i didn’t think was possible.
It also shits on everything EP7 has brought up and made you wonder about EP7. Knights of Ren anyone?
+Constant and often missfiring Humour for no reason.

Btw: Main Cast is now 1 Asian, 1 Black, 1 brownish, 2 white Woman, 1 white guy (naturally he’s the evil one) and all Men in general are hot headed idiots (Poe/Fin/Ben). I actually don’t mind this, if the movie was any decent and not just a giant marketing ploy.


Nothing in this Movie made any sense, it had some nice visuals but thats about it.
If Snoke wouldn’t be in EP7, you actually wouldn’t need this movie for anything. Nothing really changed since the End of EP7.
