first one being instead of luke just straight up trying to murder kylo, he instead saw snoke much in the same way he sees kylo when rey is with him, and that is what he is reacting to when he activates his lightsaber. So then kylo actually isn't right that luke was about to kill him.

that helps, so another change is completely changing lukes entire character too right? like making him not the worst character in starwars history?

here, watch the video, see if you think these changes would be enough to make it serviceable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ksEz8Qq1k

nah its fine, i know what needed to be done to make that movie better, i think anyone with a brain does

so im sure its good but unfortunately i just dont want to give it any of my time

fair enough

but i think those are small enough that they could go back and reshoot them for not a lot of money, and the pull a Lucas and release a "remastered" version with the changes

the last jedi has zero redeeming qualities. the story makes no sense, the characters boring, uninteresting, unlikeable and stupid (in the sense of... dumb... not intelligent... just... stupid), the "jokes" destroy any suspension of disbelief and the combination of all those things made absolutely sure that i will not spend any money on seeing episode 9.

And then Disney finds new and uninteresting ways to make it even worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9OXqzLvYJM

So in short: she leeched all of Kylo's training and powers from him because of mind bridge thingy.

So, shortcut to power, because we can't actually have any real development take place or have her character go through any real hardships now, can we?

Just when you think they can't possibly make this situation with Star Wars any worse and dig this hole any deeper, somehow a Disney employee manages to find a shovel.

It could have been so easy to insert a scene where she's looking into Kylo's mind and seeing his memories of being a Padawan and training at the temple. Being able to see the new order in it's beginnings, the potential, the hope, and then then we as an audience could learn and decide on the truth of Kylo and Luke's relationship leading up to the attempted murder

But noooooooooo...We get shitty authority figures and casinos

*And an entire subplot that didn't need to even exist.*

In fact, scratch that.

The entire **movie** doesn't need to exist.

Disney decended to follow EAs business model. Buy an existing IP, quickly release substandard product and rack in as much fanboy money as possible, then kill off the IP so it doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

I knew Disney would run Star Wars into the ground, but I didn't think they'd do it within the span of a single trilogy.

Especially given how overall pretty good the Marvel movies tend to be.
With some exception.

If anything, I thought they'd just do what they do with Marvel movies, only it's in a Star Wars skin.

My prediction was that 7-9 would be pretty good, with 9 probably being weak, and then things would start going downhill by Episode 11.

However, while a bit predictable, I didn't think rogue one was all that bad. Don't get me wrong, not short on room to improve, but not terrible

But then Disney was like "hold my beer."

I would like to have seen the pre-reshoot version of Rogue One.

Something tells me that was going to be much more interesting.

What was their excuse for the reshoots? It was 'too dark' for the casual audience?

Not sure how much darker you can get than "everyone dies."

The solo movie has been more or less written off but I'm still curious what it looks like.

Oh yeah, I have *zero* hope for the Solo movie.

We shall see. If it's like everything else, then no surprise. If, by some miracle, it stays about 7 and 8 in the vague area of rogue one, then there might be some life left in the EU, even if the main story is tanked.

I kind of went on a bit of a tyraid on another discord after hearing that they removed the guns/blasters off of the international movie posters.

Probably an overreaction, but for some reason it really set me off. lol

Because it just reminded me of the whole ET walkie-talkie thing.

This is a problem I first really started to notice in halo when 4 came out. If a series is wrapped up with a decent enough ending, the it's best to expand the IP sideways and or back in time. Leaving anything happening after the wrap up event for things like books which usually fair better than visual mediums.

Particularly in series that span at least 3 installments.

Yeah, or jump forward, but even then if you jump forward enough it is practically a side story.

Usually by that time you have so much material that is just sitting around the edges you can just start picking up random pieces and spawning their own story lines and SubIPs.

I really miss Halo, but I don't like what it's become.

I really hope, if halo survives 6, which to be fair, while not great, the story isn't horrible. But they've had to do some serious leg work in the books to make that happen, but I hope they start expanding outwards.

Like there is some much in the halo lore that they could use.

It doesn't need to be a "halo" game in the game play sense.
