Luke was never a brooding whiney arse. Rian Johnson made him that way.

Sometimes I wonder if you people watched the same OT Star Wars as me.

I wouldn’t say brooding but he was always whiny. And I definitely don’t understand why he’s some badass Jedi simply for passing yoda’s test.

That’s one way to describe Juke.

He went to yoda boot camp and whined some more when he turned down Vader. Then he whined for his father to save him from the emperor

Every character has an arc? What the frick are you talking about. Most characters are just that.

Chewbacca has no fricking arc
Maz has no arc
Lando calrissian had no arc
Akbar has no arc

Dude some people just are who they are.

You guys are just pissed that the protagonist isn't who you wanted it to be and that effectively Luke's character arc was done before TFA opening credits.

Boo hoo.

Jesus this is insufferable whining, tell me about Yodas arc in the original trilogy

I'm realizing the people that hate this movie are a lot like Luke.

Whiny teenagers who have grown up and still haven't realized the world doesn't revolve around them

Yeah, akbar isn’t a character.

Regardless if he’s not a character he’s so iconic and badass because of a dumb meme that he should’ve been the one to light speed kamikaze.

(I don’t know if you specifically have said that but I’ve seen it posted here )

I don’t really like return of the Jedi

Chewie is an ancillary character.

Lando despite not showing up until an 1:15 into the movie has an arc. He makes a choice and there’s an ensuing change

I also like how leia and chewie still treat him like shite even though he helped them. That felt real

I forgot you were a retard when it comes to movies so I guess l’ll have to spell it out for you:

Every major character has an arc - yes. Not just a yes, but an EMPHATIC yes.

There are ancillary characters whose main job is to advance the plot. Those are called, wait for it, plot characters functioning as plot devices. That’s your argument.

So you’re saying main characters don’t need character arcs because plot devices exist. Way to bring the lulz

And umm...Lando DID have an arc btw.

It’s fine that you’re a normie when it comes to movies, that you shut your mind off and just enjoy whatever is vomited at you.

In fact, I’ve said from the very beginning if a person shuts their mind off and watches this movie like it’s a Michael Bay summer popcorn flick, TLJ is a legit 8/10 entertaining movie. I stand by that.

As a Star Wars movie where we expect a half way cohesive plot that falls within some semblance of the lore, it sucked donkey dick.

Defend the movie as a normie, cool. That has no bearing on the writing of the movie or its direction. It was a mess.

And FTR I love Rey’s character so I have NO idea what you’re getting at there.

Why is it so important for those of you who hated the movie to convince others that it was terrible?

i'm not trying to convince you of anything. I don't care if you liked it or not. Just curious on why y'all are trying so hard.

People mad about Ackbar and Lando being absent in the film are just dumb. I didn’t care for them in the OT. Lando was always a snake to me. Ackbar is a one line wonder.
