George Lucas’s Star Wars (that’s what the film was called) was awash with influences from myth, legend and cheap space opera.

The original trilogy was a fluke. A lightning in a bottle. You had a competent team to keep Lucas in check AND a relative lack of corporate meddling. The talent is either too old or dead nowadays. Star Wars is dead, don't bother reviving it after the prequels and this shit.
Hell, the best Star Wars media in recent times is probably the Star Wars games made pre-2010. Obsidian and oldBioware can make a far far superior Star Wars story over both George Lucas and (((Disney))). Though honestly, the prequel canon is unsalvagable, and the EU, while good in basic terms, needed a lot of clean-up due to the sheer accumulation of crap from the years as well as changing standards for the franchise. (I actually like the Yuuzhan Vong. It's more retarded shit like the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium that need either MASSIVE renovations or complete removal.)

>needed a lot of clean-up
The original lore-keeper made some pretty good databooks which either fixed the worst parts and rewrote some things. But then everything he did got kicked off the shelf and now he's stuck popularizing Wendig's trash. Also, I agree, SW is dead and it deserved to be put to rest in 2009 or 2010. Or at least have it finish up the remaining novels/comics and games like Battlefront 3 and have that be the finisher. Any future media could've just been adaptations of the better or improved EU media or games based on pre-existing material, like a decent action/adventure or rpg game based around the OT, a version of SWTOR that's not complete dogshit or a Thrawn Trilogy inspired game or animated movie like those Hellboy ones they used to make.

In the less self-selected CinemaScore—where general audiences are polled as they leave the theater—The Last Jedi scored an “A.” Yes, the very same as the well-liked Force Awakens. Furthermore, there’s someone on Facebook who claims to have maliciously and single-handedly manipulated the Rotten Tomatoes score in order to “keep it dropping.”
> Whether or not this claim is true (and there’s no way to verify at the moment), that Facebook post reveals how easy it might be for a vocal minority to manipulate a metric such as this and create a false narrative. Yes there is a ticked-off splinter of the Star Wars fandom angered by The Last Jedi. These MAGA-esque fanboys—the same that called Rey a “Mary Sue” or lost their marbles over the 2016 all-female Ghostbusters reboot before it even hit theaters—have been spreading their over-blown hatred all over social media. As you might imagine, these “fans”—who seem to take their cues from First Order supremacists Hux and Kylo rather than Resistance heroes Rey, Finn, and Poe—aren’t very comfortable with the film’s more progressive messages.

Nerd and geek cultures (I hate the term because of the way it's used today) were always hated by the normal people and the "cool kids". These professional bloggers are the fake geek guys and girls, the "cool kids" who pretend to be geeks but aren't interested in the sotries or characters, just the merchandising (it's the reason why the porgs were made, they're living Funko Pop shit).
You see their true faces once a "geek" movie riddled with identity politics is out and no one goes to see it (Cisbusters), they instantly get rid of their persona and start attacking the fanbase. If the ratings continue to get lower and lower, you can expect a series of hit pieces from every major "geek" website.

Hence why the EU was killed off and why they have a viral hate for the factions of "nerdom" (as they call it) that are not as easy to infiltrate and are still too "sexist" for them.

One of the glaring flaws of the new films is that all of the main alien characters so far are inherited; Maz Kanata had a small part in TFA and a throw-away cameo in TLJ, but there's no other original alien of significance to mention. Chewbacca and Ackbar were imports from the OT, and Ackbar gets a worse send-off than Luke without even getting any lines and being tactical order-cucked by Leia. The producers of the film are so obsessed with representing every combination of human ethnicity and sexual orientation on-screen that they have nowhere left to shoehorn-in alien characters of any significance other than as background decoration.

Star Wars: Los últimos jedi (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, EU, 2017), de Rian Johnson. ¿La mejor cinta de la saga desde El imperio contraataca (Kershner, 1980), como dicen los críticos gringos? ¿La peor de toda la serie, como dicen algunos colegas nacionales? Por supuesto, voy a escribir de ella largo y tendido en los próximos días en el blog, pero adelanto que la segunda parte de esta nueva saga me parece fatalmente dispareja, llena de diálogos inanes y repetitivos, con una subtrama francamente inútil y un desperdicio de buenos actores (Laura Dern) o magníficas presencias (Benicio del Toro) en una historia muy derivativa.

> Rotten Tomatoes Confirms Its 55% 'Last Jedi' Audience Score Is 100% Authentic
> On Tuesday I spoke at length with Rotten Tomatoes spokesperson Dana Benson regarding the movie ratings site's Audience Score of 55% for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I was curious to know whether there was any merit to conspiracy theories that have circulated in recent days alleging organized vote campaigns to drive down the film’s scores from their “proper” levels, and why there is such a big disparity between the mediocre Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings and other, higher critics' and viewers' responses, such as the “A” rating from Cinemascore.
> Ms. Benson, who is the Vice President of Communications at Fandango, the parent company of Rotten Tomatoes, told me that Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes are fully confident in the ratings and scores for the Star Wars picture. She assured me that Rotten Tomatoes has gone to great lengths to verify their ratings' accuracy and authenticity.
> “We have several teams of security, network, and social database experts who constantly monitor reviews and ratings to ensure that they are genuine,” she told me. “They haven’t seen anything unusual with The Last Jedi, except that there has been an uptick in the number of written user reviews submitted. Aside from that, everything is normal and we don’t see any unusual activity. We looked at The Last Jedi compared to other blockbusters and it has been consistent with those past films.”

Which still backs up my point. The fact that a reactionary pastiche is legitimately the best the Imperium can hope for given the circumstances is tonally meant to emphasize just how bad things are. It's not a good thing that the Imperium has to be an autocratic semi-theocratic/stratocratic hodgepodge of authoritarianism; it's supposed to emboss the grimderp not endorse that kind of politics as reasonable, sane, or moral for real life problems.
And even that might change depending on how much GW is willing to compromise the iconic dystopian mood of the setting in having the Spiritual Liege reform the Imperium with his Codex Imperialis (AKA: The book of NOT being an 80% broken bureaucratic nightmare).

It just might. Imagine more budget cuts for cheaper and shittier animation, since Disney probably realizes that anyone who still watches that zombie of a show will probably keep on watching it no matter how shit it gets. Disney should just stick with movies, animated cartoons and shitty toys.

>In truth I would like to give the new Star Wars movies made by Disney a legitimate chance at impressing me. And in reality, I will say that Rogue I certainly does the aforementioned. (I rate it at the level of The Empire Strikes Back if not higher). However, in the case of The Last Jedi, while not the knock-off that was the previous installment, exhibits many of the same problems and traits that plague many Disney films: shallow characters that use pathetic jokes in place of substantive character dialogue; expansive sets that 'woo the eye' in place of mood setting interpersonal scenes; and gross adjustments of native source material in order to lighten or idealize the uncomfortable confrontational subject.
>The Last Jedi (and by extension The Farce Awakens), tries to lighten the depths and retread the source material that Lucas underscored frequently in his six films. Johnson's take is defined by lightening the characteristics of each individual through the use of somewhat trivial and oftentimes uncomfortable jokes. Or at other times it is by trivializing traits of original characters via modern analogs - the emo impertinent and shallow tendencies of Kylo Ren. In pursuing these actions Johnson defines just how poorly he understood the motivating tropes that George Lucas was trying to evoke.
>What Lucas defined was a fall of a society, a collapse and subsequent rise of few individuals through personal sacrifice to bring "Hope" back to the galaxy. It was far from being a hollow deus ex machina that Johnson unabashedly utilizes. Rather, it hearkens back to The Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa that one wonders if Johnson-or Disney itself-is even aware of. In that film, the protagonists each had defining characteristics that were underscored by altruism. The outside influences were uncomfortable tragedy, despairing bandits, and the tragedy that is the fall of individual mores in the face of adversity. In the first Lucas films these things were often alluded to, defined, or outright thrown in your face. Lucas may not have always been effective at achieving their representation, especially in the prequels, but they were displayed.
>In contrast, Johnson and Disney take liberty at making things family friendly-or like this film-as equal opportunity as possible. The original Star Wars was not Star Trek. It was conceived as a Space Opera only because allusions to old Japanese films would have been uncomfortable. In this sense, the substance of reason-and by extension-the suspension of disbelief is trodden on. I have raised my eyebrows at far more moments in these films than I ever did at the prequels.
>The desire to utilize more 'real sets' was a wise move from the inception of these new movies. But they do not take the place of real 'mood setting' and design. In part my criticism of this facet has a great deal to do with the tragedy that is the new series of actors that have been chosen to helm the franchise. Daisy Ridley shows more triviality and woodeness than one of her predecessors, Hayden Christensen. The Fool in the World and the Flyingman is a trope that only works so often and only if the actor in question is approachable. In her defense, she tries her best….but like Christensen its not good enough.
>In relation, the antagonists are beyond hollow - with the most substantive Andy Serkis - being the most illusory and short lived….'drum roll', the award for Best Bad Guy goes to Supreme Leader Snoke. In contrast, male bashing at its finest goes to Adam Driver who displays spoiled effete with the best of them: a pathetic unimposing unthreatening bad guy that real men just want to slap upside the head. No amount of dazzling sets will ever make up for the poor choice of actor for that roll. I suppose in that sense it is perfect since he can't upstage the choice for lead in Ridley.

>The remaining cast are just as subject to the shallowness of the leads and without exception are bound by it-whether through the inevitable write off of the original cast or through the need to play below the measure of the leads. At least one though, Mark Hamill deserves credit for displaying a significant measure in an otherwise gutted film. Like Alec Guinness before him he goes off to the sunset a valued hero - but a very diminished one given Johnson's view.
>As it stands the gross adjustment of original source material is a Disney hallmark with numerous ethnic myths and One True Lore trodden over in order to ameliorate the darkness that defines us. The Last Jedi is no exception as it trivializes the darker tones and losses with the extraordinary - through deus ex machinas like Skywalker's Force Projection or through the use of 'chrome dome' jokes that are poorly paced or timed. At its core Star Wars is about the collapse and fall of man in the face of adversity. And it was originally conceived as an effects movie. By working together a synergy of these facets occurred that hinged on the part of the actors in convincing the audience to disbelieve. The truth of Vader was that he was a raving child-murderer. His son, never fell to that, even for the best of intentions.
>Nevertheless, that defining moment in the movie results in what feels very shallow and forced. To assume that a Jedi Master of Luke's level would have failed so miserably at training or understanding the traits of his students is hard to fathom. It also significantly defeats the overall pacing of the original masterscore that Lucas himself set out and is a jarring offset. The only perception one receives is that is done for more capitalistic purposes than storytelling ones as one perceives that there is no real way to end the story nicely now with only one movie to go. The inevitable assumption is that it is being set up for a completely new idealized trilogy.
>At its base this is a flawed forced moneymaking assumption, but one that Disney has had a habit of going with through the years. ?

It's almost as if about 40 years of supplementary content paid inconsistent degrees of attention by the license holders while they were updating the core source material on and off over those same decades produces a varied and diverse range of quality.
The EU had plenty of turkeys, but that doesn't exculpate the Last Jedi especially since the whole point of flushing the EU was to create a unified and internally consistent canon going forward. It doesn't have the contemporary and contextual reasons for being bad that a lot of more controversial EU stories do. With access to everything that was best regarded about the EU, Lucasfilm has even less justification in letting their sequels and spinoffs decay so much so fast.
But "The EU is gay, shit, and not even real canon anyway," is not a new opinion and predates Disney by a long while. Only /sw/ and the TOR forums are places where I've seen it universally praised instead of fans insisting that people pick and choose what they like and invent their own headcanon after separating out "the shit."

From the Alternate Ending review site:
>I’m probably repeating someone, but I just have to get this out before my head explodes: holy fucking shit that speech about arms dealers being the rich and powerful who rule the world. I would be offended by the politics if I could come anywhere close to grounding them: when, *ever*, has “haughty, hoity toity swanky party out-of-touch rich people” been a stereotype of the defense industry? At best the party crashed feels like Hollywood or Wall Street or philanthropic fund raisers. There is a ton of criticism to make about the military-industrial complex (though absolutely not in a Star Wars movie), revolving around inefficiency and bloat and useless bureaucrats and corruption. But “they’re all out of touch billionaires”? The defense industry? What? It just makes the whole thing feel that much more insanely out of place.
Uh oh, looks like Hollywood got caught projecting again.~

> The Reaction In Japan To 'The Last Jedi' Has Been Decidedly Mixed
> So what makes this reaction to The Last Jedi so interesting are two major things; the first is that this is mostly independent of what is happening in the West due to the obvious language barrier and the second is that the press are echoing what the fans are saying, compared to the disparity we have on our side.
> The main gripes are also similar to what some fans in the West have been complaining about. In addition, the reviews from the Japanese press have been somewhat mixed, with this particular piece being quite interesting. So there isn’t this disconnect we are seeing in the West between the press and some fans over the film.
> Younger viewers also seem more upbeat about The Last Jedi, which is likely what Disney was intending here. However, the older fans of Star Wars in Japan are mortified with what The Last Jedi has done to the Star Wars mythos.

For the lulz, I can't tell if this petition is sarcasm or that soy boyism is becoming a recognized medical condition…
> Fans Are Petitioning To Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Again Over Good 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Reviews
> The petition reads:
> "Rotten Tomatoes has a very flawed aggregate rating system. Take for example the Critic's Ratings for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (93%), Ghostubusters [sic] (73%) and Sharknando [sic] (82%). All of these movies got high ratings but from audience[s] these movie[s] got very low ratings. These movies are extremely hated by fans and general public. And most of the critics on RT gives favourable reviews to Disney blockbuster movies. One RT critic from Collider bashed the fanbase who hated The Last Jedi during a YouTube vlog. Many critics on RT are extremely toxic and they are unprofessional. The critics from outlets such as Mashable, Collider, Screen Junkies, THR, Forbes, IndieWire are extremely toxic on social media and unprofessional with their reviews.
> "RT has a very flawed aggregate rating and broken system. 3/5 score for a Disney film is listed a fresh/good review and the same 3/5 review score for nondisney blockbusters are listed as rotten/bad review. The Tomatometer system is extremely broken and unreliable. For example if a movies [sic] has aggregate critics rating score of 6/10 and another movies [sic] has 9/10 aggregate critics score. Both movies will have 90 percent on Tomatometer. RT is a horrible review aggregate site and very unreliable. IMdb and Metacritic ratings is [sic] more reliable site for movie reviews.The broken Rotten Tomatoes system can hurt the movie industry Becuase [sic] most of the audience watch the movies based on RT score. And their broken system is like cancer to movie industry and audience. In short RT will be plague [sic] for nondisney movies as RT score dosnt [sic] accurately tell which movie is bad, average or good."

Seriously, though, what? Since you seem to have an idea of what that is, I suggest you make that thread, then link it back here. Recruiting moonspeakers means some may work on the wiki… but getting them to talk some actual Japanese into helping us out is the larger purpose. At the very least, talking some into making their own equivalent to what we're doing, which we can link to on our main page. We are harnessing the anger of the East for good.

From some nameless and glorious spic in the audience reviews:
Señoras y señores, cualquier arco argumental, cualquier concepto, cualquier historia o personalidad, las reglas del universo y el contexto de Star Wars han sido borradas por Disney. La película carece de un arco, mientras Yoda se afligía porqué a los 9 años Anakin era muy joven para entrenar y su entrenamiento no estaba completo, cuando Luke tuvo que también entrenar con Yoda para alcanzar el grado de Jedi, ¿Resulta entonces que la hija de dos borrachos (Rey) es el ser más poderoso del universo de Star Wars? Está don nadie en un santiamén derrota al hijo del elegido, y a un sith que ha seguido el camino de la fuerza Kylo Ren, es increíble, ni con agua se traga. Luke Skywalker, el personaje intachable con fe de acero, que salvo a su padre del lado oscuro ahora es un borracho que gusta tomar leche al píe del alíen. Un cobarde que dejó a su hermana y su mejor amigo a su suerte. Casi un asesino !De niños¡… ¿ Disfruten como una flota gigantesca no puede acabar con tres miserables naves de la "Resistencia" ¿No podían mandar los fighters para acabarlas? ¿No podian cambiar el rumbo volar a la velocidad de la luz, y materializarse enfrente de los rebeldes y acabar con ellos? Parece que los escritores o son idiotas o son imbéciles. La china lechona que acompaña a Fin es insufrible, y Poe Dameron es un imbécil que solo le interesa destacar. Disney sigue sin poder escribir buenos villanos ni en Marvel y mucho menos acá, la muerte de Snoke es risible, y absurda. El tiempo de Skype entre Rey y Kylo Ren ese una verdadera idiotez, …Ay ponte camisa que me sonrojo… Al final los heroes de la primera trilogia son unos fracasados, Lea termino siendo una guerrillera de mierda, Han fracasó en su matrimonio y acabo contrabandeando de nuevo, y Luke acabó amargado odiando la magnitud de lo que fue… Star Wars ha muerto.

The most impressive thing Disney has managed is to turn the Star Wars brand from the Rolls-Royce of toys to the Hyundi of toys. I actually manage a toy shop and we refused to take in any Star Wars toys in large bulk this year as the brand just does not sell at all anymore. Forget the movies, books, vidya etc the fact they managed to crash and burn the toys of all things is beyond their greatest blunder. Disney's purchase and treatment of Star Wars has been nothing short of one disaster after another.

Good to see strong, smart WOMEN in powerful charge of lower males, and most lead roles finally filled by African American's instead of whites!
I've never been a star war fan but am definitely excited to see the direction disney is going by deconstructing the sexist and racial infrastructure that so many white men have built to systematically oppress women and African Americans! The corrected world is discarding them and their defective ways, and they can only cry-cry-cry! It is so funny to watch them humiliatingly reduced to their hateful sexist, and racist selves!
We are POWERFUL because we disrespectfully desecrate them and destroy everything they love and cherish… it is SOOOOO hilarious… LOL!!!
If you want INCLUSION and TOLERANCE, this is the movie for you! However, if you are the typical sexist racist, you are in for a very very very RUDE awakening!!
This fantastic movie showcases the long journey of all oppressed victims toward love, tolerance, and annihilation of our vile, disgusting oppressors!! Disney is finally on the "RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY" with this release!!
