I think the original reference was The Last Airbender

The Last Airbender is pretty awful. It may be worse then The Last Jedi

I dont understand why people think Star Wars is such a hard franchise to run. There are so many good stories to tell.


It's not and there is so much material out there they don't even have to come up with much. The focus would all be on production.

One would say they would have to go out of their way to screw this up and of course they did.

JJ Abrams is paid to say he supports TLJ.

You think he’s going to say the opposite?

Just look at Mark Hamill's about face after the lawyers got to him.

I think plenty of people chose to be diplomatic about. Abrams actively called the fanboys out.

Um, no. Abrams deflected on legitimate critiques that about 50% of moviegoers shared with regards to TLJ, papered said critiques over as “muh sexism”, and laid them at the feet of a much ballyhooed (but actually quite small) group: threatened white men.

Twitter Feed.

Rian Johnson now arguing with random people on Twitter about TLJ. It isn't a great look. It gives that Elon Musk sinking ship feeling.

Yep. Hell, I'd do it if they let me.

When did Star Wars become a sinking ship? TLJ wasn't very good, but it definitely didn't sink Star Wars.

Her job isn't hard. She doesn't have to come up with the plot of the movie or write it. she simply has to know what Star Wars is, see what the director and writers direction is and simiply say, that's not what Star Wars is, or that's what Star Wars is.

As i said before, if some director wanted to make the new Ant-Man movie some dark serious movie with no comedy, Kevin Feige wouldn't even ask that director why, he'd simply fire him for being a complete moron.

They wouldn't let you.

This rumor is probably bullshite. But it would not shock me one bit if JJ turned it down.

I wouldn’t take it unless I could remake TLJ. Just the hyperdrive weaponry alone gives me almost nothing to work with.

They should. I'd do a much better job trolling the fans than Johnson ever could...which I assume is their goal.

by the way.

Was this posted here?

Kathleen Kennedy's husband liked this tweet. As much evidence as we have seen that Kathleen and Bob are not happy with each other.

Oswalt is an SJW. I don’t think he’d do anything as dumb as weaponizing the hyperdrive, but I still don’t trust him with the overall themes.
