But it did not suck because of all this alt-right/neo-nazi garba It sucked becau et-piece" showcase that made up "cool scenes" and wrote a story around them instead of creating a plot that could generate excitement through it's narrative 2. Rey is bad not because she's a powerful competent women, she's boring because she is a generic paint by numbers "insert-here protagonist meant to be as inoffensive as possible so no possible merchandising demographic would not like her 3. Finn had a good arc in The Force Awakens. Shame then that he apparently forgot it all between movies and repeated it all this movie. That why he was so pointless, not cause he's black. 4. Canto Bight is a thirty minute waste of time that does not effect the plot. It has no "anti-capitalist message it has a toothless "hurr greed bad message 5. Holdo is a bad character because she is a walking plot device that makes decisions only so others have to take action. She was created backwards. Where they wanted Poe to learn a lesson about "not being a hot-head" but didn't want him to actually do something wrong because then the audience wouldn't like him (and buy his merchandise) therefore she makes contradictory and nonsensical moves because she isn't a character, but a plot-object. None of this has to do with her purple hair (it's space, some planets have weird hair) or being a woman 6. Hyperspace ramming as elaborated in detail elsewhere invalidates the entire franchise 7. Luke had all his character development from a whole trilogy wiped out. All so they could do a cliche "fed-up with life kung-fu master" cliche who then dies from thinking too hard Anonymous 01/02/18 Tue 20:55:34 No.9259380丨 >29259608922925966862 92596693>>92596999>-92597269>>92597769 92598682>>92599068 8. The First Order are illogical, apparently they built a fleet and accompanying super weapons as big as the Galactic Empires without having a galaxy or empire to fund and build them.

Bad costume to the Naboo guard outfits, to the Troopers in the Hoth Trenches. None of the costumes in The Last Jedi do this. I couldn't tell you what most main characters wore much less the extras. Everything is so generic and uninspired you could use it in another m 11. All the ships and vehicles are just the original trilogies with some extra lines painted on. Both the prequels and Rogue One managed to have designs that were simultaneously unique looking but still thematically similar to the original movies. everything save the salt-speeders is just a repainted original with some flaps 12. Finally It's funny hearing people complain about "fanboys" wanting TLJ to be a retread when TLJ dedicates it's entire runtime to nullifying any changes to the story since ANH. It has been 35 years in- universe and everything is now at exactly the same point it was during ANH, Empire has uncontested rule of the galaxy, Scr act!), Dark Lord ruling the aforementioned Empire, One half-trained Jedi to keep on the Orders legacy (which has been otherwise wiped out), and so-on. The entire original trilogy might as well not have happened now because the universe has been reset to a merchandise friendly timeless limbo n the OT and rvone has a unig silhouette that is both to pick out in a crowd and memorable. From the Re the Tantive the nd no one would notice they were reusing Star Wars costumes rebels (They even change thei from Resistance to Rebels in the third

The hyperspace ramming was stupid because it completely invalidates the need to build ships for combat. Have a big huge super battleship? Just build a cheap shell of a much smaller ship and ram it it into the super battleship. You'll win that attrition game since you're spending far fewer resources to kill something much bigger.

The hyperspace ramming thing is one of the things people that write scifi don't put in is that while it's mathematically correct it also invalidates a lot of the entire genre. It's like putting a flint gun in a medieval combat game; they had stuff like that as early as the 1300's and cause guns are so effective at combat that's why we don't use swords anymore.

You could destroy the death star via hyperspace ramming.
