Spring in Fialta
A malign star kept him
Pretty tough spot. I think it's admirable that they kept/are keeping her character alive in the movies. There's no real good way to do it, so we'll see how it turns out.
So don't do it. Serve your movie.

The only way it will make sense is if they write parts of the story around those scenes, which means they shouldn't do it because it's always bad when that's done.If it makes sense in the story, I think it can be done well. If it feels shoehorned in though it could be a problem.
Fans critiqued TFA but mostly enjoyed the film. About half the people who saw TLJ flat out dislike it.People *****ed about TFA because it was too similar to ANH
People *****ed about TLJ because it was too much of a departure from traditional Star Wars
Both are perfectly good entertaining blockbusters with so heart like the old one were. They have flaws, just like the old movies had. The major difference? People expect these movies to be masterpieces. They are a vehicule to sell merch. They are marketed as such. Of course they are going to be cliché and somewhat ridiculous... the old ones were.
I expect people to ***** about IX for some stupid reason. The SW crowd is mostly unbearable and full of itself. Enjoy it or do not, there is no try.

There are many valid criticisms of TLJ that have little to do with a "departure from traditional Star Wars."

That's not even remotely true. It has an A CinemaScore. It also got a 2.82 multiplier off a massive opening weekend.
The Last Jedi felt like I was watching an activist march or something. So many useless characters, so many plot-holes, so many deus ex machina scenes, so many different directions this movie went, so many questions like how the hell are the rebels still running away after blowing up the death planet, and so many other travesties. I tried watching it again and simply had to fast forward every scene that didn't have Rey/Skywalker in the first half of the movie because it is simply a waste of time (and this has nothing to do with reminiscing over old characters such as Luke).Fans critiqued TFA but mostly enjoyed the film.

Rotten Tomatoes score is 46% for the audience, and it is known that RT disregards all the 1/5 stars. RT has investigated the low scores and it's not alt right, or obscure groups of people spam down rating the movie either. So it's certainly fair to say that half of the viewers didn't like it.
Whaat?The Last Jedi felt like I was watching an activist march or something.
Chicks in purple hair, guys acting on their "feelings", saving CGI animals, and an underlying message of "doing the right thing". It had everything except p***y hats.Whaat?
Most people liked TFA. Sure the criticism that it was a carbon copy of ANH was raised but, while completely true and valid, very few people used that as a reason to hate the movie. Box Office, repeat viewers, youtube channels, rotten tomatoes audience scores... all of it is positive, despite this flaw. Which completely flies in the face of your argument that the star wars crowd can't accept a star wars movie that isn't a masterpiece. Besides, that's a rather silly argument. We all know none of these movies were masterpieces. No one is asking for a masterpiece. It's as if you argued that someone being upset at being served a literal turd on a plate (TLJ) in their favourite fast food restaurant (Star wars franchise) is being picky and will only eat caviar with champagne (will only accept masterpieces). We're not asking for caviar and champagne every meal, we just don't want to be served actual feces in our plates. The one movie who is getting that type of hate is TLJ. It's not getting hate because its status as a masterpiece (or not), it's getting hate because it's a terrible movie several notches below the masterpiece category.
Rogue One and Solo weren't masterpieces either, but both movies were decent enough and were liked by the fanbase overall.
Honestly, if I'm RJ and KK, I hope the entire world is made of people like you who conflate issues and have zero expectations. You're the ideal public since you have basically zero standard of quality or expectations beyond the most basic popcorn flick which is 100% fine if that's the case. We all take different things away from our experiences watching movies. Some people just want to turn their brain off for 2 hours, see pretty distracting lights with a somewhat cohesive story for some escapism. I actually often want that after a long week at work. But for star wars I have slightly higher expectations, not masterpiece expectations, but certainly TFA/Solo/RO/RotJ type expectations. I don't speak for everyone, but I'd say this view represents the view of most people who hated TLJ and almost no one is represented by your take on the situation.
I hated TLJ of what it could've been and how it went off into nine different directions and eventually ended up as nothing except another standalone movie as TFA before it. Instead of building a trilogy story-line as the Marvel Universe does, Star Wars thus far has been as boring and linear as you can make it.I have 0 expectation for things that don't deserve high expectations. Star Wars is a popcorn flick and always has been. People expecting a great movie out of a franchise than NEVER produced one are setting themselves up for disappointement (ESB being to closest to one and yet, it is mostly a by-the-numbers tragic story).
Star Wars ranges from good to horrific, there is no "great" in there (if we talk about film making, not necessarily entertainment/cultural phenomenon). Star Wars ALWAYS has been by-the-numbers fantasy writing. ALWAYS! TLJ tried to do more and ended up being too preachy. It was still entertaining enough and it had some heart.
Most people's view on TLJ is of the "angry fan boy" variety. People rationalize their hate with points that look coherent to the untrained eye, but miss the mark for anyone who knows anything about cinema. Oh, they have every right to hate it, but when I see some people saying Rey is too strong too quick when Luke was exactly the same (and yes, I have read the awful debates about that) or that Snoke was a token vilain when Palpatine, IN THE OT, was the same, I cannnot help but to face palm. People insist on VERY SMALL details to justify their feelings. Their feeling is legitimate, most of their complaints aren't. And, to be clear, I am not necessarily referring to HF.
From what I have read about TFA and TLJ, most complaints are because the movies aren't what they wanted them to be. On its own, TLJ is a good popcorn flick. As a Star Wars film, I can understand some of the disappointment even though I personally like SOME of the risks RJ took (many decisions I didn't like, but that's just me).
TLJ wasn't a trash movie, it was a movie that didn't meet the exagerate expectations of an IMMENSE fan base. It has its flaws, like any movie, but, to me, many have been greatly exagerated to justify some people's hatred for the choices that were made. It is one thing to say you didn't like one thing, but quite another to use a flaw pretty much all epics have to claim the movie is objectively bad. And that is what annoys me. TLJ didn't hit the righ notes while a movie like Infinity Wars mostly did. That, I can agree with. Reading the TLJ has destroyed Star Wars or was an awful movie, it makes me laugh.
Luke spends the entire OT acting on his feelings, and one of the main messages of the OT is about doing the right thing and standing up against the oppressive empire.Chicks in purple hair, guys acting on their "feelings", saving CGI animals, and an underlying message of "doing the right thing". It had everything except ***** hats.

That's garbage self-selected unscientific data, and it can't even purport to have the correct sampling frame since there's absolutely no way to determine whether or not someone rating the film actually saw it. If you think that's at all a valid analysis you should probably go to school and take a statistics class.
CinemaScore uses scientific sampling methods to get representative samples of people who are actually guaranteed to have seen the film.

I think you are misrepresenting people's position. I didn't dislike it because it was "different," I disliked it because it was incongruent with the rest of the series.People *****ed about TFA because it was too similar to ANH

His post was sarcasm. Every Star Wars movie does this though. The franchise is like a classic white hat/black hat western in that sense. There is no mistaking which people you are supposed to cheer for.Give me one example of a movie that shoved this message down your throat.
