Your STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Complaints Won't Change How Rian Johnson Approaches His New Trilogy

Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a very divisive movie but if you thought the many fan complaints would have an impact on Rian Johnson's plans for his planned Star Wars trilogy, you may want to think again!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a movie which seemingly split the franchise's fanbase straight down the middle. Some loved it, some hated it, and many fans struggled to figure out the creative decisions by writer and director Rian Johnson. Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on, there's a lot of buzz surrounding the filmmaker's upcoming trilogy which is shrouded in an awful lot of secrecy.

It could take place in any time period and revolve around pretty much any characters (new or existing) but Johnson has made it clear in this interview that he's not letting the negativity surrounding The Last Jedi have an impact on what he currently has planned for his return to this Galaxy Far, Far Away. 

"No, not really," he confirmed when asked if he's changed his plans for this new Star Wars trilogy. "I feel like every Star Wars thing that's made has a big, loud response because Star Wars fans are passionate and that's what makes them awesome. I don't think it's possible when you're telling a story and it comes from your heart...it's kind of not possible to be intellectually processing what everyone else wants. Nor would it be a good thing; I don't think that's a healthy way to tell a story."

Good, and so they shouldn't.

No piece of entertainment or art will ever please everybody, art is inherently divisive. So tell the story that you want to tell and don't let your creativity be held hostage by disproportionately hyperbolic fan complaints.

Keep doing what you're doing Rian.

@FromACertainPOV - Yeah. I mean, so many fans are going into this with a preconceived idea of what they want/expect from the movie which is impossible to live up to from the perspective of being creative. And even if you attempt to appease those fans, you'll probably end up with something like Force Awakens, which was divisive for being so similar to A New Hope.

@FromACertainPOV - Let me say again without a overly big gif. There is no reason to keep the terrible dialogue or humor. Even a good portion of people who liked the film thought dialogue like "chromedome" or "crystal critters" or the milk drinking scene.

@ImmortalCipher - Well comedy is perhaps the most subjective form of entertainment there is, it's a difficult thing to quantify and again: will never land for everybody in the same way.

Also, what is this sites hang up on the milk thing? I really don't get it. Someone on another thread called it a middle finger to Lucas, the OT and Luke.

But Luke's a farm boy, and he's milking essentially a space cow. Doesn't seem like a crime to me.

@ImmortalCipher - We need an HQ gif of this already.

@FromACertainPOV - Because nobody wanted to see luke get milking alien boobies.

To be serious, yes it shows lukes character (i dont think he was that type of farmer though) but it was just...silly. The fishing scene would have been enough. It isnt a middle finger to be fair, but i dont really think anyone find it found funny.

@ImmortalCipher - He wasn't he was a moisture farmer but he's still essentially a farm boy, that's the fairytale.

And I didn't find it funny, but I also didn't think it was played for laughs.

I think your dislike for the comedy in the film (and possible hatred of other areas - I don't want to put words in your mouth) is making you disproportionally view other things as poorly executed comedy/pathos/whatever, when that wasn't their intention in the first place.

@FromACertainPOV - I'm sorry but it wasnt defiantly supposed to be at least some form funny. And even if it wasnt, everybody i know has said it was supposed to be a joke.

And even if it wasn't, i already said they could have had another scene, or a different alien, something less disgusting and slightly sexual.

@Toecutter - I'd say go for it. It's different from what you'd expect a Star Wars story to go. That's basically why it's so divisive. Just know that it's not for everyone, even if you're a Star Wars fan.
