re: Rian Johnson Is ‘Even More Proud’ of TLJ Five Years On

Let the downvotes rain down, but TLJ isn't near as bad as people pretend it is.

Star Wars has a very loyal and knowledgeable fan base, and when i say knowledgeable, i mean about their source content, not in the general sense of being smart.

It's unlike say Marvel where the average movie goer isn't a comic book reader, but instead became enamored in the characters that they somewhat knew about, and the stories that were being told.

But in the same sense, what The Last Jedi basically did to Luke is the same thing if Marvel would have made Captain America run away from the fight with Thanos, instead of standing up to him by himself, or if Hawkeye and Black Widow would have fought to basically make the other person sacrifice themselves, instead of fighting over not letting the other person sacrifice themselves.

You made a character, who already had his huge story arc and came out as one of the most beloved characters in all of cinematic history, do things that were completely out of character for him.
There's a reason when you bring up this movie and Rian Johnson, you get a lot of visceral reactions. People cursing directly at Rian Johnson b/c they have so much passion for their hatred of what that movie did to Luke and to Star Wars.
People may have disliked the prequels, but they didn't receive anywhere near the hatred this movie did.


No ones pretending it's bad. It's bad, and there's many people that hate it. and hate is a strong word to use, but it applies here. It's not often a large group of people hate a movie. You can simply dislike movies, but hating one is rare. Congrats on that Rian Johnson, fricking arse clown.
