The creator of this fan edit clearly wanted to correct the many glaring flaws, inconsistencies and poor story choices that plagued the movie, and is definitely NOT a misogynist

quote:

The anonymous fan posted a torrent file for the edited movie to The Pirate Bay on Sunday, titling it "The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit (aka The Chauvinist Cut)" and describing it as "basically The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and other silly stuff."
quote:

The result is a semi-coherent 46-minute film that erases the entire role of resistance admiral Amilyn Holdo, played by Laura Dern, and kills off Princess Leia, played by Carrie Fisher, early in the film. It's also racist, severely curtailing the role of the character who the editor calls "Asian chick," presumably Kelly Marie Tran, who plays Rose Tico in the movie.
quote:

Among the changes, Luke Skywalker's character is modified so he starts training Rey immediately, instead of "whining" at first, and doesn't drink green milk. The editor cuts out "most shots showing female fighters/pilots and female officers commanding people around/having ideas." And Leia "never scolds, questions nor demotes Poe," who eventually carries out the kamikaze attack instead of Admiral Holdo, who's cut out of the edit. Furthermore, Kylo Ren kills Leia and kills most of Snoke's guards, while Rey struggles with a single one, and there's "no bomber heroism by china girl in the beginning."

Sounds like a good movie to me.

Holdo - useless

Leia - should have died

Luke - he should have been the way they portrayed here.

Rose - useless

Rey - should have been more helpless so that her character could actually develop

All seems like good improvements to me.

I would like to hear how those aren’t improvements.

I like it. Still a lot of other stuff to change (like the prank phone call, the entire side trip by Rose and Finn, the geriatric Florida retiree rascal chase, the depriving of a hero’s death by Finn at the end, Luke’s force projection fight, the entire Luke/Kylo backstory, the lack of character background for Snoke and Rey, etc etc etc) because the movie was such a misfire.

Not perfect but a massive improvement.

Holy crap Rian Johnson really was terrible.

He really had no business making the movie.

Star Wars was too big for him, he didn’t know what to do with it, he lacks the background and experience, he has poor instincts, he lacks confidence. Naming him director was like giving a 13 year old the keys to a Lamborghini.

Did any of you actually bother to read what changes he made? Some make sense and some are just idiotic. Major meh.

If they get rid of force ghosts, running out of gas, warp drives as weapons, animal release projects, leia poppins, snope's handling, and luke being the opposite of his character that would rescue the movie. But that's pretty near the entire movie.

Just treat it like X3 and pretend it never happened.

There was backlash for this? While it's irritating that they did it for the sole purpose of girl power and crap, i don't recall there being this huge backlash after the first movie that has double the audience approval rating as this recent pile of garbage. We are talking about the force here. You don't have to look like the Rock to be the most powerful force user. Being male or female doesn't matter here.



The fact that the pussified director bothered to reply in any form or fashion to that is pathetic.

There never was a backlash to Rey, yes, they forced the gender for no reason, but she is actually a really solid, likeable, charismatic character. Her and Wren were the only part of the films that was tolerable and added depth to their characters while seeming fresh and original.

The dishit author, just as the Ghostbusters filmmakers and critics did, do not remotely understand the complaints and desires of their fans base... You know, all those little boys who grew up on your product and dished out billions of dollars in merchandise and free advertising for 3 decades... Who the press and filmmakers now shite on because the remakes suck...

Yea I didn’t agree with everything but it’s not hard to improve upon this movie.

warp drives as weapons,


I don't see people's problem with this. It's a viable weapon. Sure it wasn't in the originals but that is oversight by the writer.

It's kind of like cavemen who figured out they can throw rocks instead of only beating things with rocks.

It can't be viewed as an oversight by the original writers. It should be viewed as a hideous oversight by the writers of TLJ.

If the warp drives were useful as weapons this would have inevitably discovered as the technology was being developed. By accident in the same way nasa and the air force made every possible aeronautical mistake during the development of simpler technologies.

Further, it demands the viewer believe the billions who developed the death stars not have just decided to use a dramatically cheaper and easier to use technology instead of the wildly cumbersome deathstars. It makes the prior trilogies nonsensical.

Let me get this straight, you believe a ship with mass traveling at light speed is not a weapon? I do understand that it could have been used in the manner you are speaking but it wasn't. Are we to expect that it couldn't happen given the technology already available and just needed somebody to think about it? Maybe it was more "efficient" to create a weapon instead of using huge ships as weapons.
