The First Installment Of THE LAST JEDI Director Rian Johnson’s New STAR WARS Trilogy May Arrive In 2020

"Director Rian Johnson’s New STAR WARS Trilogy May Arrive In 2020"

@RocknRolla - the original Star Wars trilogy was outlandish and completely ridiculous, and got more so as the movies progressed. People just accepted the Rancor monster, the Sarlaac Pit, and the freaking Ewoks defeating the Empire and took it all in stride. If that movie came out today the internet would be none too happy. “The sarlaac pit looks like a vagina and the white men are being sacrificed by being thrown into it! this is more of Kathleen Kennedy’s social justice!”

Search your feelings, you know it to be to true...

@MUTO123 - Exactly, I couldn't agree more, I'm ready to new stuff and not the same old s**t.

@Nightwing1015 - IDK, comparing Ewoks v Empire to the Vietnam war is a bit of a stretch. The Vietcong didn't fight with sticks and rocks lol.

@KindredMac - The Last Jedi is a mix bag...

When is good, IS REALLY GOOD. When is bad, IS REALLY BAD. Is one of those movies that clearly needed a rewrite to fix the pacing of some subplots and to erase those stupid exposition or visual jokes that doesnt land at all...

The Last Jedi is really good in the sense that further develops the emotional arcs of every character and themes of the trilogy while it brings an end to every easy answer executives had for this sequel trilogy.

That is also the main issue, The Last Jedi spends almost 60 minutes just creating a huge unnecesary problem to develop Poe character and give it a purpose it lacked in the Force Awakens.

So while in the Force Awakens the movie was driven by a plot (a really overused and cliche one) in The Last Jedi the movie was driven by characters.

That is why we get a 25-30 minutes subplot around Finn, because that mission is an excuse to make the character get into conflict with his own ideology and change to become a better and different character.

The Last Jedi is composed of 3 main subplots and each of them serve a purpose, but yes, sometimes they go too far to bring the movie to the end they wanted

So Poe story sometimes doesnt make sense, it is too slow and it kills the pacing of the movie BUT....

We see Poe go from being an arrogant asshole full of pride who doesnt want to learn from his mistakes, to become a humble leader who will sacrifice himself before to let his people do it.

We see Finn go from a coward who is running from everything in the momment when it gets hard, who only puts himself first and is always trying to save the only thing he really cares about (Rey) to become part of the rebellion, someone who stands for the rest of the people and fight for others, he becomes a strong men who puts other first and is willing to sacrifice himself.

Then is Rey and Kylo, who learn to become their own thing, who understand the past is past and they need to move forward, Rey accepts the past in a positive way and grow from it, instead Kylo decides to destroy and kill everything in his way...

So yes every character in this movie had a journey in a sense. But to sacrifice the plot for the sake of the characters journey sometimes did kill the movie.
