Hux being made to look like a fool in that way makes it feel like an Austin Powers scene.

that was great

That role would have been pulled off so much better if it was written like and acted by Tywin Lannister.

It was horrible and not funny.
For what it is worth, Johnson has come out and said it was done early on purpose. He said he wanted to set the tone early that the movie would be fun or some dumb shite.

Did he know he wasn't filming the Brothers Bloom? Apparently not.

He has a joke in force awakens which is very similar.

Wow. What a total hack if true.
This is his exact quote
quote:
I knew [the movie] was going to get darker in some spots just because of what we had to do. It was really important to me to, at the very outset, make a bold statement of, we’re going to have fun here also. Relax, you can laugh with it also, this isn’t just going to be a dirge . . . That was the one thing I was most nervous about . . . You can never know until you put it in front of a big crowd of strangers is if the jokes play or not. So I was very relieved when we got the laughs. Oh, that very first scene. That was really the one that was just, I was holding my girlfriend’s hand very tightly when that came up. Then I relaxed when the audience got it and started rolling with it. It’s so important to me because that sets the tone and the expectation that, oh, O.K., there are going to be laughs in this movie.

Perfect. Couldn't have said it better.

It's like the classic hero's journey but you cut out all the middle stuff.

You serious?
Who talks first? You talk first?
You need a pilot
He's a BB unit, orange and white, one-of-a-kind
He definitely jokes, they are just much more subtle
Posted on 12/18/17 at 2:19 pm to GeauxLSUGeaux
That was perfect.
Except the crystal coyotes actually served a small purpose.

Too early and anachronistic. Using terms like, "I'm on hold for General Hux" take you right out of the setting.

Why is General Hux in command again? He seems like a complete idiot in TLJ.

Is that something anyone gave a shite about? Were there complaints that Star Wars wasn't funny enough, that it needed more humor?
it's like this little phaggot purposely wrote this movie to piss off anyone that grew up loving the original movies.
