I like Rian. Knives Out was great. The Last Jedi looks like Oscar bait in comparison to TROS. Lots of missteps in TLJ for sure, but I put the blame on JJ for this. After LOST and Star Trek, why was he trusted with the new trilogy?
JJ made the worst Mission Impossible movie
the thing is, even tho those two series are known to have ended in disaster, they were massive financial hits, and they were very RELEVANT. this is a key concern for large corporations, staying relevant, and KK had been tasked with making Star Wars relevant again a decade after the whole prequels debacle. LOST might have been utter nonsense, but it was virally popular, it was relevant. it had good metrics. these are things that appeal to money people, to producers, the kind of people who fund these films. this is why she picked Rian as well. they are both good at marketing properties in a way that generates buzz. both well known trendy directors who did some of the most popular prestige tv of all time. Star Wars is not a story, it is a property, a portfolio of assets to be leveraged. these two directors are professional, current, trendy, buzzworthy people, who have proven they can cause a stir.I like Rian.

Star Wars is built on archetypes. maybe they were based on archetypes but these were new characters. they had names and jobs and art design and everything. they felt like they really fit in the world. so yes i give him a pass. he did create all these characters, did he not?All of those new characters are just archetypes of characters that came before. JJ does not get a pass there.
Keegan was always the stronger of the two.Jordan Peele is awesome, motherfucker.
Let's fight. Let's fight now
(runs away screaming)
dont hurt me
ROS looks bad becuase of TLJ. Rian gave JJ nothing to work withI like Rian. Knives Out was great. The Last Jedi looks like Oscar bait in comparison to TROS. Lots of missteps in TLJ for sure, but I put the blame on JJ for this. After LOST and Star Trek, why was he trusted with the new trilogy?
It's a stupid quote that means nothing. Of course world building should be in service to character. We aren't watching documentaries.You can not like the results but do you disagree with the idea of having world building be in service to character and plot? Remove it being Rian Johnson that’s saying it, is the principle of it wrong? It seems pretty sound to me so I can’t imagine why that quote particular would put anyone off.
He made a good Star Wars movie. He's made other decent movies. He's going to continue to keep making movies because he's far more successful at what he does than what you do.
Fact: Your opinions are shit
Rian gave him Kylo Ren being the big bad on a silver platter and JJ brought back a guy that doesnt fuckROS looks bad becuase of TLJ. Rian gave JJ nothing to work with
Oh, the big bad that did fuck all in both movies. The big bad that couldn't even face down Snoke face to face? I'm so scared.Rian gave him Kylo Ren being the big bad on a silver platter and JJ brought back a guy that doesnt fuck
You mean the big bad that outgrew his master not like the bitch vader in the last movie? The one that out smarted his master and mercd him, with a movie to spare for proper character development?Oh, the big bad that did fuck all in both movies. The big bad that couldn't even face down Snoke face to face? I'm so scared.
Was that Rians master plan. For another Rey/
Kylo fight. Oh God I am so sad we missed that
uh Vader killed his master in ROTJ. all Rian did was have him do the same thing. Vader offered to co-rule the Galaxy with Luke, so Kylo does that too. Kylo just does whatever Vader did cos that's all both writers know how to do.You mean the big bad that outgrew his master not like the bitch vader in the last movie?

Kylo Ren was losing his mind smashing things up from TFA. you remember that scene of him losing it on a control deck? this is Kylo Ren acting like an entitled dick isn't anything new, it is literally the baseline of his character. so no, him being mad it isn't character growth, and it doesn't set up him for anything he isn't already doing. he is always mad and upset.Kylo was set up to be the big bad esp with the way he was acting the last few scenes of the movie losing his mind
Ya he did do it sooner, meaning they had a whole other movie to explore the mentality snd sanity of his character. And she he threw fits in TFA but if played right by JJ this could have been thee one thing that toppled him over and made him lose his mind and become a ruthless supreme leader. Him being mad isnt character depth, but a deeper look into his sanity and insanity, whilst also dealing with his past definitely is, but nope we have to revert back to some old wrinkly has been, not even a has been, a never was because dude had to clone himself because he couldnt smesh some pie on the sideuh Vader killed his master in ROTJ. all Rian did was have him do the same thing. Vader offered to co-rule the Galaxy with Luke, so Kylo does that too. Kylo just does whatever Vader did cos that's all both writers know how to do.
also, Kylo Ren didn't outgrow his master, he is back to being evil immediately after, he is still seeking power. Vader actually turned to the good, he gave that power up. Kylo turns back to what he was doing yesterday, keeps trying to rule everything. character growth? over the ST, he loses to Rey, gets yelled at by Snoke, kills him, then loses to Rey again. that's not growth. that's not a threatening villain.

feel like Rian tricked certain people into seeing things in his movie & the series that aren't actually there.
