A graphic designer created a fake poster for those idiots that are trying to crowd fund a remake of The Last Jedi that perfectly mocks the folks crying SJW.

Overall the sjw stuff wasn't the problem. The problem is they made a shitty movie that doesn't fit in context with the other movies. The sjw stuff gets pointed at because it causes people to wonder where the priorities were when making it.

If the movie had been great the sjw talk would have lasted about a week.

Its not good from a Star Wars perspective.


These SJW agendas should be stuck in new movies, but then again that would limit whose eyes and ears they can get. What results is a trash movie.

Are all of the other threads on this same subject anchored? Or did we really need another one to reiterate the same things people have literally argued about hundreds of times for hundreds of thread pages?

This subject isn't just discussed, it has diverted the whole board into warring parties.

I do admit I have very strong feelings on the subject and don't think the people on the other side have a defensible point of view - but I am really ready for the subject to just go away for a while. Maybe then people will be able to go back to talking about interesting old movies or small projects they wanted to share.

You started this shitstorm, now drown in it. If you're going tk complain to this degree over NOTHING then I'm going to make damn sure you can't enjoy anything else for as long as I can. frick you.

If you won't let me enjoy Star Wars, I'm going to do my damndest to make sure you never enjoy even one second of it ever again.

Me neither. Probably because you, like me, are not a pussy and a snowflake looking to be offended so you can bitch and moan.

None of that makes any sense. No one can stop you from enjoying a movie.

TLJ was a terrible movie but you can like whatever you like. You just shouldn't waste your time worrying about other people who don't share your taste.

Hell, I like bad movies too. I own more than one Nicholas Cage movie, I enjoy many of the bad 80s action movies with plots as nonsensical as TLJ. I just don't don't take it personally when other people don't like the same stuff.

What Ruin Johnson did to Luke and his lightsaber was unforgivable.

In the first Star Wars, Luke is handed a lightsaber that was from his father, who was Darth Vader, who made it when he was Anakin Skywalker. When Luke faces his father, the lightsaber is seemingly lost forever when Luke’s hand is cut off.

TFA makes a special storyline to return maybe the most iconic movie weapon in cinema history, back to Luke. Ruin Johnson makes Luke Skywalker nonchalantly throw it away for a cheap laugh.

frick you, Ruin Johnson.

Haven’t seen it. Probably never will.

But I love the word “vitriol” so had to step in.

Perfectly? It's as hokey as the SJW crap that they forced into the movie. I laugh at the people in this thread claiming that they didn't see it. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

That being said, the hackneyed SJW goals are so stale at this point that they've become a joke and were just entertaining window dressing on what was a poorly written script.

Everything that happened in this film changed the characters.
I'll agree to a point

Luke is now a hopeless hermit that dies like a bitch

Snoke, the big bad built up in he first mo- and he's dead

Remember Phasma, she changed into a nothing burger and dies hilariously

Leia is so worthless she gets replaced by a chick who's only leadership quality is what? Misandry and lesbianism?

Leia fricking Poppins? The force revives her and flies her back to her ship or whatever? A power nobody has EVER been known to possess. In a character who has never shown any active propensity to use the force? At the very least, that's some full on Mary Sue bullshite.

So I guess there is your change. Leia has gone from supremely competent rallying force for the Galactic Rebellion. To incompetent demagogue who suddenly becomes the most powerful force user the universe has ever known, just out of the blue.

Finn went from burgeoning heroic icon, to a guy that will leave slave children to frick themselves but will save the space horses.

Poe changed from competent and capable pilot, to cocky douchebag who only cares abou being the hero in his own eyes.

Hux goes from being a legit calculating villain, do a laughably incompetent little who-gives-a-shite character.

So yeah. . .lots of changes

The only parts I thought were SJW-ish was most of the Holdo shite. It was as though she was just there to point out toxic masculinity.


The Rose/Finn shite wasn't so much SJW, it was just cringe-y and eyeroll inducing.

Also, the idea that the only reason people hate it is because it lacks masculinity, and women should be cooking is a pretty SJW perspective.

No all of us champ. I rewatched it last weekend. It’s not the best one but far from the worse imo.

I did not like the humor, Finn and Rose were useless and yes the feminist focus was a little annoying but this was not a bad movie.

It was ok if it were some standalone movie. It sucked as a Star Wars movie and it left a dead end as a second film in a trilogy. It also completely ruined some OT characters, mostly Luke.
