Neat, Holdo was awesome and GWW is great.

Admiral Purple Head was so fucking shit, and a terrible leader
>Get emergency command because previous leader gets injured
>Comes up with a stupid plan everyone says doesn't solve anything, and refuses to elaborate further
>Is so poor at communication and keeping people in the loop that she incites a fucking coup at the worst possible time
>Finally fesses up and her plan boils down to an insane suicide bombing and praying escape shuttles will get away as she does this

The fuck?

Wow G. Willow Wilson AND Tom Taylor writing Lady Lightspeed Ramalam? Where do I sign up?!

>Everyone just acts like shes such a noble, self sacrificing hero after all this
The only people who reacted to it were Poe and Leia and their quotes were literally
"I can't believe she did that…"
"I can."

I guess we'll see about that, won't we?

He never watched the film, user.

Good thing no one is forcing me to read it, then.

Eh, I still don’t get the point of trying to make her completely unlivable for 2/3 of the film with the shitt bait and switch

So just reinforcement the fact that Star Wars is no longer for white men? Because that's been the entire message of Star Wars now: if you're a white straight male, Star Wars no longer belongs to you. On top of that, they're reinforcing it with propaganda aimed at children in order to indoctrinate them early. They're playing the long game and it's terrifying how effective they've gotten at it.

Who cares, Star Wars has always been lame as shit lol

Star Wars is for women only now, better learn to like it!

Honestly, do the SJW not feel any kind of feelings when ruining a franchise? Do they really think that everything needs some kind of SJW representation? Do they really feel the need to push the SJW characters until everyone is forced to accept it?

Feel free to explain exactly what makes Holdo "SJW."

Clever bait

A female leader that has purple hair that everyone female likes and every "men" is forced to deal with.

I did though? Granted it's been a while, but I remember everyone thinking she was a hero for warping into a star destroyer

And that is "SJW" how exactly?

As a white male I'm so glad Kathleen Kennedy has taken Star Wars in a new woke and progressive direction! At last we can be reminded of the superiority of women and Persons of Color, long live Disney and thank the goddess that Kennedy has saved Star Wars!

>G willow wilson

Can't unsee her in Jurassic Park

Not only do you remember incorrectly, but you gave yourself away when you claimed that the suicide bombing was her "plan" and not something she did at the last minute when nothing else worked.

Because feminism is also part of the SJW agenda.

At least it's a one-shot.

calm down soi boi.

It's crazy they'd do this, considering non whites & women never even heard of Star Wars before Disney took over.

Explain how.

>and not something she did at the last minute when nothing else worked.
And how is that any better? What else did she do to help solve the situation? Because from what I remember her fucking plan was just to maintain course

You can google that my either dumb or naive user. It's quite easy.

Her plan was to evacuate people in the rescue pods to Crait.

You're the one making the claim user, burden of proof's on you to back it up. He's not gonna make your argument for you.

God damn TLJ was fucking awful.

So in other words you don't have an answer and when you are pressed to justify your beliefs you reply with vague platitudes like "just google it" and call anyone who disagrees with you dumb, despite not having having offered a single explanation. As usual.

Okay that got me. Good show, user.
That's not a fucking plan. They established the flagship would pick off those ships easy did they not? Why the fuck didn't she keep people in the loop for such a simple "plan"? It would have avoided the mutiny

Because the answer is fucking obvious to anyone that isn't a castrated eunuch and by asking for an answer you're admitting that's exactly what you are. If you can't see the answer then there's no hope for you or your kind.

>Because the answer is fucking obvious to anyone that isn't a castrated eunuch
If it's that obvious then say it, user.

>They established the flagship would pick off those ships easy did they not?
No, they didn't. They established that the flagship wasn't scanning for lifeboats and just focusing on the big ships. The plan would've worked if DJ hadn't betrayed them and told them to start scanning for small ships.

Jar Jar Binks got a story in one of these too, you pure faggot.

But of course you didn't know that. Because you'd rather just rant about the SJWs and movies that you supposedly hate, despite the fact that you're still talking about it two years later.

I don't care if it's a meme, it's true: you need to have sex.

>successfully evacuating your ship isn't a plan
This is where you are right now.

Because you fucks have been wasting my time. Don't think I didn't notice. Acting like children asking "Why?". Even if I answer the question that one user asked, I'm sure he would ask another "Why?" question. I know you fucks know what I'm talking about. You're just trying to bait me right now. Yea Forumsmblr are stupid, are idiotic but they themselves know what they are FIGHTING for. What they are ruining this board for. Fuck off. Star Wars is SJW now. Yes, you guys "won", for now anyway. So, whatever. I was just asking a question if you feel that doing things like this is right. Not one of you have answered my question yet.

Alternatively, you've never actually thought about what the answer is so when you're politely asked to explain yourself you lash out in anger because you've never stopped to think about why you believe what you do and that makes you uncomfortable.

At this point you have now typed more crying about how you don't want to answer the question than it would have taken you to just answer the question.

>purple haired don't need no man wombyn

Why did you feel the need to give two whiny answers?

LMAO

>And that is "SJW" how exactly?
A female leader that has purple hair that everyone female likes and every "men" is forced to deal with.

No answer? Then fuck off. You SJW's have no morals. Ruining things most people enjoy so that you can have your "little" representation.

>>random alien that people only care about because she was voiced Lupita Django for some fucking reason

She's new Yoda.

Which is "SJW" how, exactly?

>duhh only one person can hate my SJW agenda
Yeah, fuck off.

You still haven't answered the question. All you've done is cry that everyone who dares to ask you to explain why you believe what you do is "one of the SJWs." Is it any wonder that no one takes you seriously?

Ugh, fuck. I don't know if I'm just too old for this shit or if it really is just suits trying to piss people off.

How exactly is this an "SJW agenda"?

No she isn’t

Why wouldn't they scan for lifeboats if they know the resistance is fucked and on it's last legs?
That's not a successful plan if they all get shot down

But she isn't. She's barely done anything.

Well as of Last Jedi she was. That was why one of the kids she was watching over used the force to fetch a broom.

Hopefully she's not now.

What's that? You agree. You know that you people are ruining things that people like but you don't care? You just want what you want and don't care for other people? Why didn't you just say so. You don't need to be so cryptic. Fine. Yes you win. You won in an internet argument. You don't need to answer my question directly. Evade the question. Give vague answers.

>Why wouldn't they scan for lifeboats if they know the resistance is fucked and on it's last legs?
Same reason they wouldn't fire on an escape pod, just because a scan shows no lifeforms aboard.

Because it's fucking space fantasy and this shit doesn't matter.

>"She's barely done anything"
>complains when she gets a comic where she does something

You'll never be satisfied, will you?

>Why wouldn't they scan for lifeboats if they know the resistance is fucked and on it's last legs?
Arrogance, I assume. Either way, the point is that the plan was working until DJ sold them out.

Do you normally react so poorly when people ask you basic questions about why you believe something?

>That was why one of the kids she was watching over used the force to fetch a broom.
What? Maz had nothing to do with that kid. All Maz does in the movie is tell them to go find the hacker in the casino. That's it, she doesn't appear again for the entire movie.

Seriously, why do you keep typing this much instead of just answering my question in the first place? Which you still haven't done. It feels like you're finally realizing that your beliefs have nothing behind them and it's shattering your world. You're desperately trying to hang on and it's not working.

Where did I give any indication about whether I was pleased or displeased with Maz being in this comic?

>LOL just turn your brain off
You're the cancer killing fiction, and yeah I'll say it, Star Wars has always been trash

cringe

>That was why one of the kids she was watching over used the force to fetch a broom.
Are you ever going to admit that you haven't actually watched the movie and you're just saying what Geeks and Gamers told you to say?

Yes, we've all seen that Plinkett video too.

How dare fiction be fictional. Why do you get so excited about a subgenre for kids?

I wonder how it feels to be a person like you, filled with hate and throwing a temper tantrum at the most minor of things. You must have a pain in your chest at all times. And the irony is, you are the architect of your own suffering. You deserve everything that happens to you because you bring it upon yourself.

Hey faggots: don't respond to the namefag. That's what he wants. Act like you've been on Yea Forums before.

I think he's ramping up the ridiculousness in an attempt to seem like he was just trolling all along

Why didn't they give that to Ackbar, a character people would've recognized and have some attachment to, or spared Han in VII and have him fly the ship?

The day of the rope is coming. Disney shills will hang alongside their Jew masters.

Shhhh... user. Everybody here know that he's just baiting us. Honestly, sperging just because we're trolling him saying that we don't know what he's talking about. People like him are pathetic really.

>Ackbar is a beloved character
He had a few lines in a movie in 1983. The only reason people know him is because of a meme. This retarded argument needs to stop.

Better than this, miles better.

Sure thing buddy, keep fighting the good fight on chinese basket-weaving forums.

>or spared Han in VII and have him fly the ship?
That would require getting Ford to appear in one more movie after they already used the promise of killing him off to get him to appear again in the first place.

thats something going for him compared o holdo who is just....there.

They introduced her without showing anything. Its so jarring and out of place.

>So who comes to mind to write for this character famous for a surprise suicide attack?
>Do we have any Muslim writers in staff?

Did you watch the movie? She was introduced just fine.
Did the MCU make people too retarded to realize that people can have an arc within a single film?
Imagine if you complained about how soon into their relationship Obi Wan sacrificed himself for Luke.

Did you?
Obi-wan is a secondary character that supported luke.

Holdo didn't compliment anyone.

>Holdo didn't compliment anyone.
She was literally a complement to Poe.

Well clearly only white males were able to enjoy it & supported the franchise. Since white males can't enjoy the new films, how could Asians & Latinos enjoy the original trilogies that didn't include their race?

>Age of Resistance

Yeah that's what I call my wallet when Disney does anything with Star Wars now. #RESIST!

Because that would involve respecting the previous installments of the franchise and not just pulling things out of your ass and making them up as you go along which is how Disney handles intellectual property now.

The only reason he's a meme is because people loved him since 1983. It was a meme before the Internet. AND I fucking love Mon Calamri and wish it would get some more screen time.

We learned about obi-wan pretty early before we see him then had a fair amount of screen. Holdo was pretty inorganic and her interaction was far in between. Really poor execution.

Who the hell is sperging? I just want to join as a SJW? Please user. PLEASE. I-I'm a brown person. I'm quite oppressed right now. Please let me be a SJW.

You don't need some middle adged alcoholic to tell you that. "Why the hell did she not just tell Poe the plan" was exactly the reaction everyone I watched it with had.

Wait why the fuck does Holdo get her own comic series now
They really are trying to aggressively push feminism on the fandom aren't they?

Rain johnson last breath.

I'm not going to bother.

The fact Willrow Hood is a more developed character and more iconic than holdo speaks volume.

They honestly could've done something simple and cool with her instead whatever that mess is.

She isn't. The "Age of" comics are stand-alone stories.

You can really tell how toothless they are about this whole progressive thing because there still hasn't been a SW film directed by anyone but a white male. Its all for show.

Nothing can be bad as that bro.
I still can get over she came from a PC uni with labels of the 'program'.

He says as Captain Marvel, a film directed by a woman, makes a billion dollars.

Thats the thing, its shit on progressive front and shit on the fun front.

Its all awful for everyone. So why bother? It doesnt matter if its progressive.

I wouldnt exactly call rian johnson a male. Anyways, kathleen is gung ho about crashing the franchise with no survivors, the way it seems is that if fans wont blindly accept woke wars then she would rather it fall into financial breakdown then compromise and layoff the feminist bullshit being pumped into the franchise.

Will give this a read. Un-ironically liked Holdo.
Pretty much. I never gave a shit about White Male Power Fantasy Wars until TFA. You should have thrown money at Solo if you wanted to keep seeing movies starring white guys shooting feminist nags into pieces.
The top brass were in on the plan. There was fear of traitors or moles on board giving away their location. Rose caught 3 grunts that day abandoning the resistance.
Poe's plan was doomed from the get go because all of them were wannabe mavericks making stupid mistakes. The two biggest were Rose and Finn not getting the correct hacker, and Poe trusting the random hacker with intel on the escape plan.

people getting extremely butthurt over what looks like a holdo story in a one shot anthology is very funny

a comic where he just has to copy actors faces is possibly the best use of Noto

Counterpoint: You're so angry you think everyone is the same person because you live with a persecution complex due to no one in your life putting up with your stupidity

Modern Star Wars isn't for anybody. Not anybody but desperate nostalgiafags and people trying to be 'geeky'.
The last two movies have sucked, third one looks like it's pulling all the nostalgiafag stops out to squeeze blood from that stone, but it's time to face facts:

The series is completely devoid of creativity and has the least creative people on the planet at the very top. What minor good things that come out of it like the new comics or the cartoons are only a side effect of the real thing being so dreadfully dull.

This isn't a white man or black man issue. It's squeezing blood from a stone issue. Lucas realized after the prequels that making movie after movie would lead him to this problem, and cashed out to more money than God.

Minus points for lazy bait, minus extra points for doing so on Yea Forums which may be the easiest to bait board outside of /x/.

STD is still better than everything Star Wars outside of the original trilogy and the two Clone Wars shows.
Same thing for Enterprise.

Says a lot when the worst in a franchise is comparable to the best in another.

I dislike Holdos character but its really the movie as a whole that sucked, Holdo is an okay character compared to Luke or Rey.
It’s all just a bunch of false promises. I still don’t get why they had to kill Snoke.

I legit thought she was supposed to be a minor villain until Leia praised her. A standard officer with no brains or charisma that "leads" by pulling rank and actively inhibits the heroes. The fuck was that.

Turns out you were right.

But user, the suicide bomb wasn't part of the plan. Her plan was to just keep flying until she ran out of fuel and let the First Order vaporize her. She only went "wait, I can actually hyperspeed ram them and destroy half their fleet" when the First Order noticed the transports and started destroying them.

I am more concerned nobody else tried weaponizing hyper speed the way holdo did

>propaganda aimed at children in order to indoctrinate them early
Ironically no one buys SW merch other than 40 year old white manchildren and social media thots for nerd credit making money off of the same 40 year olds.

Was there a synopsis?
Comics usually fixes the fault of many movies maybe they will add something new to this character.

Well she's dead, so its hard to muster up enthusiasm.

>Ironically no one buys SW merch other than 40 year old white manchildren
You would have been right about that... 20 years ago.
Time to grow up, zoomer.

Why do they do this? The stores are still clogged with unsold Holdo action figures and dolls from two years ago, and they have the gall to give her a fucking comic series? This character singlehandedly killed the franchise and they somehow think she deserves to be honored?

So people would see how cool and heroic holdo is and buy her figures!

I think that would be Luke, he was terrible in TLJ.

>The stores are still clogged with unsold Holdo action figures and dolls from two years ago
You're full of shit. Holdo didn't get an action figure until like a month ago.

People love Mark Hamill too much for that to be true

Why didn’t they market Holdo when TLJ was out? Seems kinda bad to not market a toy around a new and important character like her.

Would you prefer Hamill as the Joker or as Luke.
I prefer Joker because I never saw the OG Star Wars until yesterday. I don’t know if its a generational thing but Luke just seems so uninteresting to me.

I assume they didn't think a figure of her would sell well in the initial batch.

But Holdo is dead? How can you market her if she doesn’t show up anymore?
Seems really weird.

I feel genuine pity that this is what you take away from a commercial product

>But Holdo is dead?
The wave she comes in includes Mace Windu, Padme, and Dryden Vos. I don't think being dead is an obstacle.

SJW have no pull in companies, what it is is marketing.

Yes but weren’t they also marketed in the 2000’s? Plus they were really popular in the Clone Wars Tv show.
I have my old Mace Windu figure.
I’m just saying that its kind of weird that Holdo wasn’t part of a toyline.

Coup happens
>set phasers to STUN

Wait I forgot, is this what she was basically saying?

And yet she turned out to be 100% right and the only thing that spoiled the plan was DJ

On top of that Poe's own plan had a greater risk. If it worked it would've saved their asses but it had a chance to backfire spectacularly, which is what ended up happening. He trusted two idiots he barely knows to go to a casino world and get a master hacker, then infiltrate the enemy's main flagship and deactivate a hyperspace tracker. On top of getting caught before they could do it, the second-rate hacker they found because they fucked up getting the right guy ended up selling them out.

Both plans were completely stupid though, and only happened because the script put them into a contrived slow-moving chase scenario. Consider that the two best options are a risky infiltration with a hacker you don't know, and crawling away on smaller ships and hoping the First Order is too dumb to notice. Everyone involved became an idiot for the sake of facilitating this poorly conceived plotline.

>Star Wars

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

>Is so poor at communication and keeping people in the loop that she incites a fucking coup at the worst possible time
The point of her not telling the plan is that it makes her look clever. It is simply that because she knows something nobody else knows, she is smarter than everybody else.

Tbh I think the bigger issue is less with the character and more the performance of Laura Dern. She's probably right to be apprehensive on letting Poe in on her plan but the way she dismisses him comes off as incredibly petty and condescending, which makes it a lot easier to side with Poe over her.

She gave me a boner during Last Jedi and I feel I’m the only person this happened to.

and how the hell did DJ know the plan
DJ spoiled their other dumb plan, "turn off their hyperspace tracker"
Holdo's plan failed because there was no other way it could go—they act like the Supremacy and other Dreadnaughts open firing on their escape pops was somehow surprising

It's definitely just you. She looks like a dried up aunt who is 2 seconds away from screaming at a cashier for forgetting a penny.

Final rebuttal: You're a fucking idiot who got caught and this is the best damage control you can muster. Checkmate.

It's Laura Dern. You're not wrong to be attracted to her.

No the performance is 100% correct. You're supposed to think her as petty and condescending woman, so the movie can then flip-a-bird on your face how petty and condescending you are for thinking that of her.

>Holdo's plan failed because there was no other way it could go
Except we know Hux didn't think to run a decloaking scan until DJ told him to. Absent DJ's interference the plan would've worked, even if it was only because Hux was stupid.

No amount of backstory not shown in the movies can salvage Holdo as a a character, they'd be better off making comics about shit like Rey or Finn's child and teen years.

The real question is why DJ decided to betray them when in the long run it would have been more profitable for him not to.

Pretty much this, thinking that corporate types care about such things is naive, they are just lazily trying to cash in on THE biggest franchise out there with minimal effort for all its worth

I agree with this guy. Holdo just had no place.

Because the writers are idiots, not from a logical view. RJ is bad at writing and it shows. His approach is to create his plot points and then just string them together with almost no thought into whether it actually fits.

Nothing about the damn movies adds up. The FO comes and sees them getting ready to leave, rather than blow up the fleet they shoot the planet.

Rather than just use their superior numbers and enter into a ship battle they instead relay on a slow charging doom laser.

Rather than sending ships ahead with hyper drive to pincher the enemy, they are content to just follow them.

They aren’t constantly on alert for ships which means that anyone is able to leave the fleet and Rey is able to just get on board.

And then on the Resistance’s side we have the fact that they could apparently just leave, but instead of taxing everybody off in groups we have the “let’s hope they don’t have eyes” plan.

Hell, why couldn’t they just go and get fuel.

How so?

I mean he only sold them out after they'd gotten caught and he figured their plan had failed. Might as well get paid by the side that looks like it's gonna win then get shot, I suppose.

Yeah, it was a complete dick move but in his position you can't really fault him. He had no loyalty to the Resistance and they hadn't even paid him yet.

What I don't get is why the First Order paid him at all, though. They had him at gunpoint, they had no reason to offer him any money or accept any kind of deal like that from him. They could've easily just told him that he can leave with his life in exchange for that information. Instead they let him keep the ship he snuck in on, give him money, and let him go- all before they'd even verified if what he was telling them was even true.

rather trusting DJ not to betray the Resistance in itself is stupid. Why would he have any bit of loyalty and risk himself for this dying faction? I'm curious if DJ will still be affiliated with the First Order in the next movie? maybe it'll make Finn/Rose's subplot feel a tiny bit less pointless?

People wouldn't be cussing about how smart and brave Holdo was if she had just told her plan from the start. They intentionally make you, the viewer, to question and hate Holdo, so that when she does the ass pull you'd feel shamed for ever doubting her.

>What I don't get is why the First Order paid him at all, though.
Giving him his thirty pieces of silver, I suppose. Having him get paid for it makes him look more morally reprehensible. He'd come off as more sympathetic if they were doing it in exchange for his life and his life alone, because anyone can relate to the desire to not die.

>I'm curious if DJ will still be affiliated with the First Order in the next movie?
His whole character is about watching out for himself to the point that his initials stand for "don't join" so if we ever see him again I doubt he'd have much to do with the First Order.

>I'm curious if DJ will still be affiliated with the First Order in the next movie?
Yes
This is why they stuck him in one of their uniforms for his final scene, he'll probably betray them or some shit

I don't think the guy who said "Would you a fem asta?" was commenting on Holdo's role at all.

>This is why they stuck him in one of their uniforms for his final scene
But he was already wearing it to infiltrate the flagship, so were Rose and Finn

DJ seemed like it was trying to be yet another one of those weird subversions. Shady looking hacker turns out to be a good guy with a heart of gold but actually he's exactly what he seemed, a shady looking hacker who betrayed the group. But it was just so sloppily executed.

I'd prefer not to see him at all though because I could not understand a single word he was saying with all the stuttering. This is why films in theaters need subtitles.

But we know that Kylo can sense his mom, that happens right before she gets blasted into space. He would have known she was alive down on the salt planet. Snoke probably could have felt them too since he's force-matchmaking Rey and Kylo across the galaxy. Relying on a feint to fool two of the most powerful force users ever seen was just dumb.

Force-sensing has always been shown to be pretty inconsistent though, it only ever seems to work when the plot demands it. Assuming that the Kylo/Rey/Snoke part continues uninterrupted, Snoke dies around the same time that Hux runs the decloaking scan. That would just leave Kylo, who might pick up on the escape ships, and then have to deal with Rey trying to stop him from shooting them, which is basically what happens anyway.

I've never seen a Star Wars movie but I like girls with purple hair

He was in Clone Wars some more

Frankly the only reason any Rebels managed to survive was that the First Order was just as retarded.
It was one of those movies that was only possible because all the characters were ungodly dumb.

She basically said "fuck off I'm not telling you shit," but that was essentially the actual plan, yes.

She did not tell him anything, but the point is that her plan was so stupid that the coup would have happened with or without telling Poe

He threw an autistic fit when he figured out Holdo's cowardly plan to run away and hide on Crait. That's when he decided to stage a mutiny. He didnt flip out because she didnt tell him the plan, he flipped out because he thought the plan was stupid.

But once he's on the escape ship and Leia points to Crait, he's okay with it. He was under the impression that Holdo was just going to continue the chase on the escape ships without a destination.

>Willow Wilson

Well they sure got the right people for the job

>When does an admiral need to explain her orders to a captain
See, this is where the OT had an advantage. The actors in it had largely been a part of national service. They actually knew how a military worked, and could act appropriately with that in mind.

It's clear as daylight that nobody writing this shit even knows how any modern armed force works.
For one thing, admirals DO explain their orders to junior officers, in a fashion.
How command works is
>CO and their senior officers come up with plan
>plan gets passed down to lower levels of command
>officers pass down to their junior officers
>junior officers pass this down to NCOs and possibly grunts
>NCOs brief grunts, if necessary
There's good reason for this.
For one, it means someone can flag up any issues that a commander may have overlooked, due to their different perspective. They may not change much, but a good officer doesn't flat out ignore their juniors, and will explain any issues if they don't comprehend the situation.
This is one way that Admiral Tumblr failed.

A second reason is because officers required to make judgement calls need to know the wider tactical and strategic picture, so they don't fuck it up out of ignorance.
This is another way Admiral Tumblr failed. Poe caused catastrophic damage because he wasn't aware of the wider strategic implications of his actions.

The third, and most important, reason is so an officer in a junior position can potentially take over a senior one if the senior officer gets taken out of action. If the junior doesn't know, they will fuck it up.
Given that the reason Admiral Tumblr is in charge is due to 90% of the command structure getting wiped out, and that there are barely 30 officers left in their briefing, failing to take this precaution is such a catastrophic fuck up that she should have been thrown out the airlock when Leia woke up.

The whole point of this plot was for Poe to learn about leadership and respecting the chain of command, stop being a hothead and accept that he might not always know best. He thought Holdo's plan was dumb and maybe the audience did too, but in the end it was still better than his.

>it's the same retard that freaks the fuck out over shera threads.

The difference is that Jar Jar Binks had some fans.

>The actors in it had largely been a part of national service.
Source?

Eh, I liked Jar-Jar I grew up with him and I never found him annoying.
I watched the prequels before the OG Star Wars.

Not everyone hates Jar Jar but the backlash against him in 1999 was a lot bigger than the backlash against Holdo.

A lot of the people screaming that TLJ killed Star Wars and that Rose and Holdo are the worst things to ever happen seem to have no memory of 1999

Not him, but the film largely used British actors and extras, and national service in the UK was a thing until the early/mid sixties.

I don't imagine they do, they were probably toddlers or fetuses at the time.

Why is 1999 so bad?
Why are midichlorians bad?
I never get you guys, then again my niece never gets why I liked prequel Obi-Wan.

How come you don't bitch about the SJW when they defend the large sizes like you, fatty?

So was every character featured in Age of the Republic.

>seem to have no memory of 1999
I do.
It was bad, but AoTC was worse, and not even that managed to kill my enjoyment of the franchise. All I'm doing now is keeping an ear out for news of something that can reverse that.

>Why is 1999 so bad?
The Star Wars fandom basically shat itself. Not all of us hated Episode 1, but people screamed that Lucas had betrayed them, raped their childhood, committed a crime against humanity, etc.

Basically the same thing happening now with people screaming that TLJ killed Star Wars, that it's dead and will never recover, that Kennedy killed it for her agenda, etc. Just louder and more obnoxious.

Laura Dern is not attractive at all and never has been

Tbh I don’t like Disney Star Wars. FA was good and had a strong opening for a sequel but TLJ kind of ruined it for me.
I don’t believe it was the SJWs but switching directors clearly affected the feel of the movie. Solo was bad too for a lot of reasons that I would not get into.

I think its just that people are biased on certain things and frankly after hearing guys harp about the prequels I kind of questioned why I liked it maybe its just nostalgia blinding me.

>He thought Holdo's plan was dumb
when someone actually explained it, he thought it was good
>So we could slip down to the surface unnoticed and hide till the First Order passes... That could work.
he just didn't want to do something that he thought was suicide, blind faith over communication is unnecessary there's so few rebels and everyone's pulling their hair out watching all their ships blow up
>We had a fleet, now we're down to one ship, and you've told us nothing! Tell us that we have a plan! That there's hope!

TLJ killing Star Wars is a measurable fact: Solo's box office performance.
If people get burned by a movie they won't go to see the next one.

Except there were a lot of other factors that contributed to Solo's failure. Pinning it all on TLJ doesn't really work, especially when TLJ itself did well. If people hated TLJ that much, it would've also bombed.

>being this paranoid

Is the toy out yet?

Plus people were screaming TLJ KILLED STAR WARS long before Solo premiered

I bought the Leia one of those for my mom.

>you need to have sex
preferably with Asajj Ventress

>buying things for your mom

When IX makes over a billion dollars what's your excuse going to be?

That's nice user, I wonder what all these faggots screeching about Holdo and feminism gift their mothers? Live hand grenades?

Attached: sigmund-freud.jpg (1066x1500, 923K)

TLJ being terrible was one of the main factors. People were fed up with Star Wars after that shitshow. You completely missed my point about how it's the next movie that shows people disliked the previous one. They lost brand loyalty.

As an aside, for me TFA was already zombie Star Wars. I had no idea why did anyone like that stealth shitty remake.

>You all are going to see Solo anyway!

The difference between 1999 and now is that while back then the critics and the people were in agreement that TPM sucked but now the critics like Rose and Holdo so they will go down in history as well-received characters.

>As an aside, for me TFA was already zombie Star Wars
And yet it made a shitload of money despite being terrible. If you're going to use box office as your metric at least be consistent.

You'll remember this post in December and you will die of embarrassment. Or a broken heart maybe, hahaha.

I dunno, seems to me like the people screeching about them are a vocal minority. I thought Rose was pointless and Holdo was retarded but I'm not going around screaming and crying about them two years later.

That's what I'm saying. In the long run these people will be forgotten.

Solo's box office results have shown that most people hated it and TLJ. I was in the minority for disliking TFA and many people here will call it a good movie (aside from "Mary Sue Rey", which wasn't an issue for me; I found everything else to be terrible, she was fine).

Box office should never be a measureable factor anyway.
I could market shit but it doesn’t make it not shit.

By this logic people absolutely despised Blade Runner 2049 based on its box office results.

Your move.

There was absolutely no difference in quality or production between Solo and R1.

it wouldnt be the first time spinoff media has saved horrible-in-canon characters.
when are they going to pretend these sequel movies dont exist and reboot them though?

They didn't do that for the prequels even though everyone hated them. Why would they do that for the sequels?

What a waste of Taylor and Noto. Give them a real fucking book to do.

Noto can pump those pictures out in less than an hour, what's all this nonsense about "wasting" him?

Even if he is fat, they'll just laugh at him. You must have noticed that Fat Acceptance is for women only.

Doesn't matter if Noto can pump out 20 pages in a minute. Its a waste of good art on a shitty book.

If you could read, he's just doing the cover art.

And fuck you anyway, you've already decided it was shitty before you've even read it just because "ohmygosh purple hair! I hate Disney and Jews! Why do women ignore me when I try to talk to them????"

I'll bite - it has virtue signalling, it's not artistic, nor has any artistic merit; it's a pathetitc pro-female shit for the sake of it; it's supposed to push a feel-good propaganda. should I go on, or can you fuck off and die already?

Feel free to explain specifically what is "pro-female" about it.

Why?

Part of his character growth was learning to trust leadership. He was hostile to both Leia and Holdo and their order/plan to retreat and run away. He cut off Leia's mic and disobeyed orders to leave the Dreadnaught, called Holdo a coward when he saw her fueling and loading the transports. It wasnt until he took a blaster to the head to stop being a reactionary impulsive maverick for a second to consider that living to fight another day might be just as cool as heroically kamikazeing space Nazis. This is a theme reflected in the two fractions The First Order is a well oiled machine with a clear order of leadership, while the Rebel Alliance is a barely functioning military unstable due to mutineers and deserters.
I agree. Poe thought their plans to retreat and run away were cowardly or missing an opportunity. He has to wait until he was down to the last dozen Rebels before stopping the suicide attacks for good. But he gets there.

By your immensely idiotic logic, a man in a position of power is "pro-male propaganda."

There was never such thing as pro-male propaganda, because guys don't need propaganda to be superior to women. They just are. As a matter of fact, the traps are a proof that men can be even better at being women than women

Either this post is pro-male propaganda, or you admit you're just trolling.

No logical argument whatsoever, you post like a woman lel

Remember, kids, always follow orders blindy and never question them. Leaders are always right. Just look at the Battle of the Somme

You'd think certain people would have liked Holdo more, considering their adoration for a certain other controlling dictator whose name begins with H.

You mean, HUSSEIN?

Harold Hardrada?

Homer Simpson?

Hannibal?

I agree with this until the last paragraph. Lucas had a sequel trilogy in mind and told Hamil about it when RotJ was wrapping up filming. He just never got around to making it before he sold to Disney. And when Disney announced they were making one, he presented his ideas to them, and they tossed them out.

Blade Runner is not a big franchise backed by Disney and had a lot smaller budget.
I don't even know if Solo was bad - last Star Wars I paid for was TFA, Rogue One and TLJ viewings were funded by my company as part of Christmas party. I changed jobs since then and I have no desire of paying for anything Star Wars ever again. And I know a lot more people felt the same way.
Well ok I would like a Gungan army for Legion

>Lucas had prequel ideas
>Prequels were terrible
>Lucas had sequel ideas
>Probably terrible
>TFS was fine but not OT tier, and TLJ was crap
It's a mixed bag, but I think it would have been even worse had Lucas' ideas been used

So anyone excited for Clone Wars and Mandalorian trailer today?

The Prequels weren’t shit because of Lucas’s ideas, they were shit because he wrote and directed them. The OT was his ideas, with someone else in the writer and director seat. The Clone Wars series getting better, not worst with every progressive season should be proof enough that the problem with the Prequel era isn’t the ideas behind it.

Why didn't they get a droid to kamikaze the ship instead of Admiral Tumblr?

Same. Thought she was gonna be a imperial spy

>midichlorians
>space Jesus Anakin
>Jedi being arrogant retards instead of just caught off guard
>Gungans
The OT had good ideas that benefited from others begging involved, and ANH was largely handled by Lucas and was great.
The prequels were derided because of both the content and the execution. The new ideas sucked. If I took on an IP like that I wouldn't try to polish whatever unrefined turds he still had lying around, for better or worse.

*being involved

Because a droid might be related to the CIS, which can’t be allowed to happen.

Why on earth would an insubordinate fuckup who was freshly demoted be told an extremely delicate plan?

The "fuckup" just took out a ship that could have destroyed the entire fleet on its own. If they'd escaped, they'd have had every other, plus a Dreadnought on their tail

>Why didn't they give that to Ackbar
I guess Disney didn't want anyone doing any Allahu Ackbar jokes so they just unceremoniously killed him when Leia did her superman thing.

Poe is a vetted hero who has been apart of the resistance for years, has more pull with the officers than some purple haired rando-dyke, and just single-handedly took down a Star Destroyer. There was no reason not to tell him to calm his suspicions.

Bruh are you just gonna ignore the Clone Wars, a series that used the ideas of the prequels, and is almost universally praised?

I'll give you that, but are you gonna pretend a bunch of the prequel movie criticisms didn't come from the ideas in them? Did Midichlorians ever come up, or direct Jesus parallels.

Eh, Holdo exists to get things done because Leia was sleeping off her space trip, and the reason why Leia did her space trip is because Carrie Fisher did drugs again.
No need to overthink things.

Fortunately, Fisher is now dead from overdosing a final last time, and thus we won't have that shit plaguing the movies anymore.

Man, TCW Anakin really did look more like Matt than Hayden

They truly don't care as long as they ruin it for "white men" which winds up being everyone not in their bubble.

Why is Holdo being used as a boogeyman representing SJWs, when Holdo is just a one movie thing to get over Carrie Fisher's drug problems which hindered production on the movie?

They already had a Japanese looking man, also named Sato, kamikaze an Interdictor. They don't give a shit about the optics, they just don't know what to do with old beloved characters at all and usually kill them in anticlimactic ways.

Hell yeah.

Honestly what the fuck was Lucas thinking naming a character Ackbar in the first place?

>they won't scan the raddus for life signs
its funny how much they straight up lift from the original trilogy yet stuff like the empire monitoring leais ship at the beginning of a new hope for escape pods and scanning them for life signs is completely forgotten.

>extremely delicate plan
hahaha

what a story mark

Why the fuck would you ignore the man who took out the original death star, do not steal, who also apparently had enough trust and authority to continue an attack despite being publicly recalled?

Seriously, why the FUCK didn't Leia just order everyone else back when Poe refused? Why not lock him out of communications?

Well delicate means it can shatter at the slightest touch, so he's not wrong.
Just not right in the way he thinks.

I felt like that part could be fixed with something like "How in the hell did they hyperspace track us? We are on strict information hygiene till we figure this shit out. Poe you are hella low on my trust list so fuck off and do your job cause if I'm telling somebody the full plan, which yes there is one, I'm sure not starting with you."

How do you know what he thinks, you motherfucking clairvoyant?

>if you're a white straight male
Fuck off, ALL men have lost Star Wars not just the white ones

If Holdo actually talked like that the movie would be significantly better.

Your post was retarded, stop it.

Fucking thiiiiis. If only she had some kind of agency instead of being vague and pulling rank.

I actually quite like Kylo Ren, I think he's one of the best depictions of Dark Side user, in the mainline plots.

His fall to the Dark Side is straightforward and sensible, being (in his eyes) betrayed by Luke
His connection to his power in the first movie is limited by his short temper and clinging on to loved ones
His method of corrupting Rey by exposing her as "nobody" while offering the chance to be something, is both clearly manipulative while appearing to be virtuous and caring
After completing his training he kills his master the moment his orders go against his own desires of working with Rey

To me, Ben Skywalker and his character arc is carrying this entire trilogy on his freakishly large shoulders.

That'd still be pulling rank, it'd be no different from what actually happened which was
>You don't need to know
>You just got demoted so I don't need to tell you

Akbar means great in Arabic. Admiral itself is derived from Arabic so he's basically "Commander Great"

Yeah but it's the added vagueness of it all that sends it down the shitter. In the movie it's like she got control and decided to bumblefuck until they'd all die, something a leader wouldn't do. As opposed to giving orders, reassuring the soldiers but sternly refusing to divulge.

That's a fair point. Honestly I think the entire conflict was a retarded snowball that avalanched the rest of the film. While Holdo didn't have any obligation to give Poe the plan
>The original idea for them to just run from a Dreadnought was stupid
>This led to the big sacrifice that led to Poe being demoted
>There's little reason for Poe to not understand his place after being demoted other than to contrive character conflict to begin with
I think the pisspoor writing made it unclear who was in the wrong, if it was meant to be both parties, and made it hard to root for how Holdo handled it. There's a difference between compartmentalisation and making it seem like you're winging it

several of the funky names star wars characters have are bastardisations of eastern historical figures/gods

The only way that Star Wars can redeem itself is by having Darth Jar Jar in episode 9,

Rey's a contrived as fuck character,

they killed off all the skywalkers despite it being called rise of the skywalker

Finn accomplished literally nothing in the entire last film and his subplot was meaningless

Kylo's a Skywalker by blood but redeeming him would be really hard to pull off at this point

I literally don't know the name of the purple hair chick or the orange Yoda

Regardless of any of the background shit going on with these movies being made, that doesn't change that it would make zero sense after TLJ for Kylo to turn good

Why? Kylo ended TLJ on a pretty neutral note.

If he was just a meme then why have him in the movie at all in the first place, HMMM?

Attached: 15492617466.png (512x512, 113K)

I'm excited. Can't wait

Ask yourself. How many people Poe got killed in the beginning and how many fighters were left when Kylo attacked?

And had you used your brain and think about it carefully Holdo's plan is actually smart if Poe, who was demoted and a hot head, didn't leak the information. It's why she never told anyone except for a few number of people

Because it's too obvious you retard, and with the role and lines that are needed in Episode 8 it'll make Ackbar out of character. Plus the dude is a meme character

And Harrison Ford asked for his character to be killed off. He pretty much despise Star Was fans because of how much of an assholes they are now. Which is exactly what you are because of how muc pitiful fanservice you demand

Purple: Amilyn Holdo
Orange: Maz Kanata

I bet you didn't want to know and now you do. This information is stuck in your mind forever. Here's something really unique so you will always remember this moment: SPOON!

YES!!! THIS DUDE RIGHT HERE GETS IT!!!

Between this trailer youtube.com/watch?v=PFkBytoQfic , the whole "Skywalker Saga" thing and IX's title I'm almost convinced that they are going to retcon Rey's parentage and make her Luke's secret daughter.

The Skywalker can't be Kylo because of how Rey centric the ST has been and it can't be Luke either since he is fucking dead.

He denounced the Jedi and the Sith to go down his own path, if he all of a sudden comes back to just be good then that's just terrible writing

First of all Rey could easily turn out to be a Skywalker.

Second it's a big galaxy, you don't know how many people named Skywalker there are out there.

There was no reason to compartmentalize information and ultimately it was pointless because the traitor only existed when Finn and whatshername brought in a 3rd party after that pointless casino thing

If he's going down his own path then he doesn't need to be redeemed, he's a true Grey Jedi.

This shows why Star Wars is glad not to have people like you

And it's called "Rise of the Skywalker" is because Luke Skywalker is going to be a god in Episode 9

A redeemed Kylo is both predictable and stupid. He's much better as a neutral villain

Im a girl, they've been targeting this shit at me and I think it's shit

That's fine but Rise of the Skywalker is a dumb title then

Rey's Parents are confirmed to just be nobody's, I'd get the scene but I never want to watch TLJ again

>Terrible writing
>Looks at everything except Kylo in TLJ
Eeeeeh, he could stay as the one exception or join the rest at this point
>Luke's Force Ghost appears
Hey, you remember all that stuff I said? Well, before I settled down, I had a massive orgy and impregnated a bunch of women. Only one actually conceived. This kid is the last Skywalker...other than Ben.
Yeah, that'd work

TLJ was just terribly written in general, If It weren't for my adoration for the first 2 and how much I like laughing at the prequels, I'd have bailed on the series

>Rey's Parents are confirmed to just be nobody's, I'd get the scene but I never want to watch TLJ again
Bro there are thousands of quotes from Rian Johnson saying he'd be okay if Abrams walked that back. When my father saw the movie his first thought was that Kylo was lying.

No, Astolfo freeballs it.

Fair, even so, that's pretty dumb working with where 8 left us with the mirror scene

I also like ROTJ a lot tho I know a lot of people don't. So I have three movies to fall back on. Yay?

>His fall to the Dark Side is straightforward and sensible, being (in his eyes) betrayed by Luke
No, stopping you right there. Kylo fell to the dark side offscreen and when Luke realized that he contemplated murdering him, causing Kylo to give up the masquerade and move in with sugar daddy Snoke. Fuck Kylo, fuck the ST, and fuck you.

I like ROTJ, It was fun just didn't hold up as well for me,
I don't mind TFA or Rogue One personally, Rogue one especially was fun
And Felicity Jones was hot

Yes there is if you're smart enough. If you understand military protocols you should know that Poe in his current position didn't deserve to know the full information since he'll just fuck up. Which he did after he told Finn the plan, which DJ overheard and gave it to the First Order to shoot down. It is that reason why Holdo never told Poe the plan. She's trying to prevent a leak from happening incase a spy exist. Which Rose mentioned after she met Finn that there were attempt defectors

And Poe was demoted by Leia after he got most of their fighters killed when destroying the Dreadnaught. Fighters they need to protect the Resistance fleet since most of them are off world to get help. Because of Poe's actionshte Resistance has less fighters. Meaning the fleet has less protection and as a result got killed easily. Including Ackbar and the others, with Leia at risk and nearly killed. Leaving little to no fighters protecting the fleet. And Holdo was there to fill that post since there's nobody left to take command. And if you pad attention in the beginning of the movie, most of the fighters Poe got killed were from Holdo's fleet. So she knows the kind of behaviour he will do and will get them killed.

Finn and Rose should have gotten the one codebreaker and instead got a different one. The mistake on that part is that Poe was the one that leaked the information. Which is exactly why Holdo never told him. Poe's a hot-headed fuck up that needs to learn the hard way in order to be a good leader

Seriously, are you even using your brain?

>Kylo fell to the dark side offscreen
Yeah, that is an unclear part of it all.
>when did Snoke start corrupting Kylo?
>when did Kylo recruit the other students?
>was it immediately after pulling down the tent or had it been happening for a while?
It removes a lot of the impact because Luke trying to kill Kylo only accelerated the fall instead of causing it. Though it did remove the chance for Luke to turn him back normally.
I also dislike the explanation that Luke doing this was fine because he did something similar in ROTJ because the point was he pulled himself out of it when he realised what he was becoming

>Fuck Kylo
Imagine not liking the most based character

Agreed. I like TFA even if not as much as the OT by any stretch but Rogue One was pretty meh for me. I watched it for free on tv way later instead of going to the cinema

Sheev's return is just going to be as a holocron to explain what turned Kylo to the dark side in the first place.
Have sex, femcel.

ABSOLUTELY B A S E D AND R E D P I L L E D

What the fuck is that picture from.

Kylo is the best character in the entire new trilogy

I saw it late on but I wasn't spoiled on it so seeing the characters die felt sad but I still enjoyed it enough, I haven't rewatched it since excluding the end scene with Vader

Luke is coming back as a Force Ghost. He'll be a god that way

>Im a girl, they've been targeting this shit at me and I think it's shit
You seriously bringing your Identity Politics bullshit as an excuse? Nice try cunt, but that won't mean anything from you

I actually prefer Rey stays as a nobody. It adds a new direction that it needs. Star Wars can't be bound to just one family name

>Star Wars is no longer for white men

True. It's also not for men in general. Or women for that matter; or even gender non-conforming people.

Star Wars is explicitly and specifically for A) die-hard fans who are so sunk into it they can't stop consuming the media, B) children of these die-hard fans who have no say in the matter, and C) a very small clique of entertainment media journalists with blue checkmarks who, despite writing like 90% of all headlines you read, are representative of maybe like ~2% of the population.

Yes. The line is literally Kylo saying
>You're nobody. *holds out hand* But not to me.

How this unbelievably smooth pickup line did not make Rey collapse in ecstasy is beyond me.

>bringing your Identity Politics bullshit
What the fuck you on about?

I don't even know your viewpoint, do you like the new films do you not?

False, but alright.

>Holdo not telling Poe the plan is bad because not knowing the plan made him join in on a terrible plan that he wouldn't have joined otherwise
>you now remember that it wasn't actually Poe's plan.
>Finn and Rose realised what the tracker was and needed Poe as a contact. Poe wanted to blow the shit out of the ship carrying the tracker.
>Poe did nothing wrong except being involved in a contrived script that doesn't feel natural at all
>If Finn and Rose had just been near the radio instead of letting the slimy cartoon smuggler guy sit there, more deaths could have been avoided

Which is why I would much prefer that Rey is Palpatine's daughter. Plenty of room for it to happen too, the Emperor was known to have many concubines.

Luke wasn't trying to kill Kylo. It was merely a reaction. Luke saw into his future with that force ability, which is a dark side ability, and took out his lightsaber as a reaction because what he saw terrified him. And then a second later that moment past and he restrained himself. Kylo only just saw him with the lightsaber thinking he was going to kill him. Even though Luke was trying to explain to him

That mistake only add to the problem why the Jedis are a fault because he unintentionally repeated the same mistake they did. The one thing however is that we don know whta happened before all of this. The tie-ins mentioned there was another war, which he may have fought in, and he may have suffered from PTSD

Sex won't fix shitty writing and a poor choice of direction.

Luke has premonitions of the future in Empire. Yoda never brings this up as an ability of the Dark Side.

Having to base things around how dumb the Jedi are because how stupid they were in the Prequels is not a good thing. It led to some of the worst plot points in TLJ

Worked for Game of Thrones.

You just said you're a girl. What does that even mean? You just literally used Identity Politics into this argument as if it was suppost to mean anything. What does you being a girl have to mean here? Nothing. It just makes you into an even bigger cunt

And yes, I like the new film. I'd rather not have a crappy predictable fanservice movie. We already have Legends for that

Stop using Identity Politics here as if it's suppose to even mean anything

The reason fans of Star Wars are so pessimistic is because of how much it's fans care about the series which it seems like the actual people in charge don't, the last 2 main films have been bad to terrible and the spin off's has one so mediocre it's forgettable and the other ruining a fan favorite character

>fans should like everything with the brand name of something they like

I'd take Game of Thrones over Disney Star Wars any day of the week. At least it has some guts and glory.

Kid, if you really think Solo RUINED Han, you didn't watch the movie. It was literally the most inoffensive Star Wars movie of all time. Even the robot that people who haven't seen the movie like to complain about complain about is mocked the whole movie and gets killed unceremoniously.

It ruined Han by cementing his past as being really boring and stupid.

Me too. Everything from the way she was presented, to her acting, to the way she completely ignored the heroes of the story spelled "villain". But I guess showing us one thing and then completely reversing it was just part of subverting our expectations.

It was no worse than his past from the Han Solo trilogy which yes, I have read. The Kessel run was just as dumb there. Furthermore the movie didn't even cover his time working for Jabba so it was a "part 1."

She still looks good today, especially with a good hairstyle.

Wow you are really stupid. You clearly don't understand anything, and now you''re making up excuses here

Holdo would never tell Poe the plan because she knows he'll do something stupid that'll get them killed. And he's demoted

Rose and Finn told Poe about the Hyperspace tracker and agreed to be a part of the plan and help them

Poe is a fuckup that his own recklessness made all of this happen in the first place. Had you paid attention you would have realized how many forces the Resistance have. And again, he was demoted

The Supremacy has a hyperspace tracker that they need to disable. Why you said Poe wanted to blow the ship when he never said it

And Finn and Poe were near a radio, but the ship had speakers were everyone can hear it. Had Poe not tell them them what Holdo's plan is then all he deaths would have been prevented

For someone who keeps on making excuses it's clear you are really not using your brain to understand anything

Meh. I actually hoped she's not related to anybody, but I might not mind this. But it feels like a rehash though

Also, the only unfortunate part of Solo was when he did that part where he pretended the rock was a thermal detonator I had to hold in my laughter because I noticed not a single person in the theater was laughing at it. People got more comfortable as the movie went on but on the whole nobody appreciated the high-level humor in Solo. It's no wonder it flopped.

Says the worthless cunt whose an even bigger retard with no brain that bring her identity politics crap

>But it feels like a rehash though
Of what? We haven't had a single descendant of Palpatine in any of the films. It would be pretty fresh if the heroine was descended from the main villain of the saga.

You said 'people like you' making me think you meant white males, what the fuck else was I supposed to gleam from that you downsyndrome fuck

Wow this is one hell of a persecution complex.

Heheheheh. Yes! Let the butthurt flow though you insecure cunt. Seeth more

The "I am your father moment?" That would feel like a rehash of Episode 5

Explain what I was supposed to interpret from people like you' then?

A normal, well-adjusted person would probably read "people like you" as "people who don't like The Last Jedi" instead of immediately assuming it's about race.

since I was wrong about that, my bad but you're still inept thinking that the Last Jedi is a good star wars film

>Even the robot that people who haven't seen the movie like to complain about complain about is mocked the whole movie and gets killed unceremoniously.
did you even watch the movie
no she was not made fun of, and her death was played as tragic. she's literally the Millennium Falcon. whenever the doors opened without anyone pressing a button, it was her.

TLJ is a good Star Wars movie because it's not another predictable fanservice trash like Episode 7 is, with alot more thinking and no fan theories involved with how muh was made before it's release, and that it pissed off people like you. Which is great to be honest because of how much fun we can laugh at your ass

>You said 'people like you' making me think you meant white males
Imagine being this unhinged.

Well that's probably a step up from the writing in Last Jedi.

It's definitely not a super top secret plan that no one else can know about. It's a standard full evacuation.

Even then the FO might just go scouting around on the only world within the area that some stragglers might have run off to.

Just because TFA is bad, does not mean TLJ is good.

>TLJ is a good Star Wars movie because it's not another predictable fanservice trash like Episode 7 is
TLJ was a half-assed rehash of TESB and ROTJ that did the opposite of certain scenes

TLJ doesn't subvert anything well. It throws shit at the wall with the template of V and VI. Only braindead fanboys who fap to the brandname like it

Heheheheheheh. Oh how funny this is

Explain how
>We just did the opposite lol
Is something creative and laudable. You can't. You're just a fanboy of a shit movie

How was Poe responible for anyones death? He was right the whole time if they had left the ship alive it would have been able to destroy them during the chase

This desu

I'd love to see more Holdo from professional artists drawing porn of her.

Fine with me you can have it. I'm done with it anyway.

You don't know fucking shit about the military

Fuck you so retard. They showed that you could literally see the ships unaided with maybe a telescope to make out details. You fucking idiot. If they can see with their naked eye, I bet a giant ass super ship has space radar or some shit to do it better. Now get the fuck out. You've just publicly shit yourself and need to at least go change

Oh yeah I got a major chub when she killed herself and showed everyone what a truly incompetent leader she had been

Rey having Skywalker blood would be an easy way to fix her Mary Sue-ness.

I liked Holdo and there's not a damn thing you faggots can do about it

Prequels weren't terrible. They were a bit boring, but they had enough of what people wanted. Far better than any of this shit the white slavers put out, even with 99% green screen and bad cgi aliens.

>Seriously, are you even using your brain?

After reading that post, I don't think you were, either.

To be fair, in the real world the admiral doesn't owe anyone an explanation. That being said, she should've at least confirmed that there was s plan

I remember when these boards moved slow enough that it was expected that a fight during a week old thread could be picked up again at anytime. It’s one of the advantages of an anonymous posting system, anyone can keep the argument going.

Fuck you

You are an accomplice to the death and rape of a once great franchise and I hope when the day of the rope comes that you hang alongside Iger, Kennedy, Johnson, and all of the other propagandists who killed Star Wars and took turns violating its corpse

What a little bitch

I was around to see the major hate toward the prequels from 1999 onwards and I still think TFA and TLJ did more harm to the franchise than Jar Jar, midichlorians, wooden acting, etc did. AOTC was the worst Star Wars film I'd seen until TLJ was released.

I won't say he's good or that all those points are correct, but he's certainly a better character than everyone else in the two new movies.

We officially live in a world where Disney put out far worse films than the prequels. The idea that the sequels are even remotely superior is pure denial.

why is purple hair lady at the front of the cover?

>General Leia looks like a skinny 20-something
That's body shaming. Someone should rile up twitter about this.

but i'm black and i liked star wars before TLJ ??

Why? Everything about her subplot was a huge mess that just ended up getting most of the resistance killed and making her and Poe look like garbage leaders.

Force Awakens was merely inoffensive.
The prequels are exercises in CG stupidity.
4/5 of Last Jedi were quite awful, though.

Couldn’t Kylo and Snoke sense the survivors with the Force? Leia in particular

Fuck that, the Prequels are objectivley the better made films. DOD they have pitfalls? Sure, but they had new characters, a new story that wasn't a 1:1 copy of the original trilogy, and they were fucking coherent. All this bullshit about midichlorians and gungans are just man children getting uppity over their precious headcanon or the fact that Star Wars is aimed at kids.

What a rollercoaster of a post. First you talk about them being better made movies, then you say nothing about how the movies were made because you're only referring to writing, and then you conclude that said writing shouldn't be questioned because "it's for kids so it's supposed to be retarded"

The entire pod racing gambit is the antithesis of coherent. To say nothing of the awful politics and plot holes.

Regardless, my point is the prequels were great

You had no point, you're making claims. My counter-claim is that they're irredeemable trash save for a few ideas - and the fact that there were a few good ideas amid the shit only makes the whole picture more sour

The prequels were shit. TFA was inoffensive and TLJ is also shit

TFA was offensive. Do @ me.

The first scene explicitly showed everyone evacuating the planet to get help

Meaning they are left with only a small fleet. Because of that Leia specifically ordered Poe to disable the dreadnaught so they can escape with what fighters they have to protect the fleet. Poe ignored that order and proceed to destroy the dreadnaught. And they succeed, but at the cost of most of their fighters. Meaning the fleet's defenses are weak. Had Poe followed Leia's order they would still have fighters to protect the fleet if they are at risk of another attack. Which is why Leia demoted Poe. And since they have the dreadnaught plans they can just destroy it another time with a much larger force

Since the Resistance have less fighters the fleet is vunurable to attack, which happen as Kylo and his forces easily killed nearly all of them and caused more damage with more people killed. That in turn got Ackbar, and many others killed in the process. With Leia survived, but exausted and injured. This would have been prevented had Poe not got most of their fighters killed

Holdo who took command after that reprimand Poe for his recklessnes, as some of the fighters from the beginning were from her fleet. One of them is Rose's sister. She knows Poe's type and she doesn't trust him because he never earned it. And because he's demoted she's not oblidged to tell a less-ranked officer

Holdo only told a few people of the plan, which we saw the rest of the Resistance personnel boarding smaller ships. They are equipped with stealth tech the Tico sisters developed to avoid radar detection. Poe being arrogant misunderstood the plan told Finn and Rose about it, which DJ overheard and gave that information to the First Order, which they track using a different method and shot the small ships down. This is why she never told him because she's preventing a leak, and a possible spy from finding out. Rose mentioned it after meeting Finn

Poe's recklessness started all this. He fucked up

Explain why should a higher ranked officer should tell a lower rank officer who was recently demoted after a reckless stunt tha got most of your people killed. Would you trust a person like that?

>but i'm black and i liked star wars before TLJ ??
Identity Politics much?

Poe did that. Holdo was trying to save everybody

And you're just an insecure fag who don't like that someone has a different opinion than yours

A kids book. You have an issue over a fucking kids book? As in a book not ment for oldfags? You have a problem and this is why the fandom is pure cancer

They didn’t lose any fighters, just the four bombers. The very slow bombers that would have never made it made back to the fleet at their moving speeds. They lose all their fighters when Kylo blows up the hangar bay as they are getting ready to scramble.

Poe disabling the dreadnaught would have been meaningless, because all he did was take out it’s anti-lightship weaponry so the bombers could do their run. The FO has more than one dreadnaught.

If the dreadnaught had survived, and somehow didn’t take it’s shot over the planet, it would have destroyed the fleet after the jump. There was no stealth tech mentioned in the film, they literally just assume that the enemy isn’t going to actively scan for them.

I can’t tell if you are shitposting or if this is one of those times where your brain rewrites a plot to make it make sense.

You should see Yea Forums when the topic of "Who was in the wrong, Handsome Jack or Lilith" comes up

They lost fighters. They showed it clearly on screen. The bombers aren't the only ones that were shot, and they still have the dreadnaught plans, which they got from Inferno Squad. They can just destroy it another time when they have reinformcements that can do more damage with less faitalities.

The forces in space were a distraction to get the forces on the planet to go. Which is what Poe did because he know what he's dealing with. Had you read the Poe Dameron comics you would know

There were stealth tech had you read the tie-ins and all the other stuff to get a clear idea. And why should the film even mention it? We're not seeing it from Holdo's point-of-view

Seriously, have you even read the tie-ins? And why should any Star Wars film give any explanation? The previous two trilogies didn't. Why should it be any different?

You've clearly have not paid attention

>The entire pod racing gambit is the antithesis of coherent.

Which is still more coherent than the Sequel Trilogy so far.

It played it to safe, so the pandering was really obnoxious and dumb to me. Story wise there wasn’t anything offensive in “this is dumb”, but it did feel like there was also no cohesion and logic to the flow. It was just set piece connected by bits of string and glue.

Oh, you baited me. That’s really mean user. Why would you do that? Are you really so desperate for (You)s? I would have given you one if you just asked. You don’t need to squander are relationship like this!

>they can just destroy the capital ship killing dreadnought that can track them through hyperspace another time
This is some good bait

Because he literally saved the entire fleet from getting immediately demolished you dumb cunt. Not to mention he just destroyed Starkiller Base a few hours earlier. Adding on top of that he is still the highest ranking officer next to Holdo and lead pilot. She also didn't tell ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE her fucking plan

you do know if they landed on crait with that dreadnaught still active the resistance would have been annihilated
the first order would have had no need to land and they could have taken pot shots from orbit, effectively killing the resistance
not to mentsion the amount of personal lost by the distroction of the dreadnaought far out striped any losses the resistance had taken

Poe's action to attack the dreadnaught was not only the best move to make but the smartest and most militarily sound one to make

I feel like these defenses are really stretching it.

Anyone defending TLJ has to do mental gymnastics

Its so weird too since Laura Dern doesn't look like that normally

are Kilo and Poe the only decent characters in this awful trilogy?
