RIAN JOHNSON STRIKES BACK AT CRITICISM

>Lucas never made a "Star Wars" movie by sitting down and thinking, "What do the fans want to see?" And I knew if I wrote wondering what the fans would want, as tempting as that is, it wouldn't work, because people would still be shouting at me, "F--- you, you ruined 'Star Wars,'" and I would make a bad movie. And ultimately, that's the one thing nobody wants. And let me just add that 80-90% of the reaction I've gotten from Twitter has been really lovely. There's been a lot of joy and love from fans. When I talk about the negative stuff, that's not the full picture of the fans at all.

Who is this fat fuck and why should anyone care what his fatass spews

SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A TRILOGY

>Lucas never made a "Star Wars" movie by sitting down and thinking, "What do the fans want to see?"

That's exactly what the preqels were. He was wrong about what the fans wanted, but it was still the mindset. You can even find footage of Lucas saying dumb shit like "we've never seen Yoda fight, so we had him fight Dooku"

He thought the fans wanted to see Vader's origin, and was wrong. He thought fans wanted a funny character that would turn out to be the bad guy mastermind like Jar-Jar but he was wrong. He thought fans wanted giant cgi lightsaber clusterfucks and was wrong. He thought fans wanted a lovestory in episode 2 and was wrong. He thought fans wanted a dark edgy third movie and was wrong.

>reactions from twitter
>blames fans for him writing and making a movie that the fans hate
>hairline

He’s actually autistic. Holy fuck.

MAXIMUM DAMAGE CONTROL

DING DING DING

He is a corporate drone, and put in whatever directives his Disney overlords told him to put in. I'm pretty sure only 50% of the movie was his idea.

The director of the most-hated movie on Sup Forums right now, dumbass.

Are you fucking retarded? Everybody wanted to see Vader’s full story arc.

How did you even possibly compare that to Jar Jar? Jar Jar was retarded but the story would’ve been fine with a competent director (def not rian johnson)

yep. There's hundreds of hours of interviews Lucas released speaking to fans, analyzing focus groups, and trying to deliver that. Hence Jar Jar, etc.

What? no way. Nahh

He definitely came up with porgs and they just happened to be easily marketable and only existed for merchandise purposes. I'm sure the red suit guards with no plot meaning weren't just toys.

bait

>"What do the fans want to see?"

If it wasn't bothering him so much, why did he feel the need to talk about it?

Which stage of grief are we in now?

Denial?

I bet you’re the guy who made the thread whining about “obvious Disney shills” on Sup Forums lmao

As if Disney would waste their time on a group that doesn’t pay to see movies

He looks like the kinda guy that likes to watch his wife (or husband?) get fucked.

copypasta is strong with this juan

This pasta is starting to grow on me.

The delusion of this website in general is ridiculous. People actually think companies pay them to post things on this website.

How stupid do you have to be?

>And I knew if I wrote wondering what the fans would want, as tempting as that is, it wouldn't work, because people would still be shouting at me, "F--- you, you ruined 'Star Wars,'" and I would make a bad movie.
>and I would make a bad movie
Well.....you kinda did just that.

lmao I love Disney damage control
lemee see that that weekend drop boys

>"F--- you, you ruined 'Star Wars,'" and I would make a bad movie.

But that's EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED YOU FAT CUNT! What the fuck??

He wrote what he wanted to write...yeah. He wrote what he knew his Disney handlers wanted. Girl power bs. And he came through. Though, I like the RICED twist. Hopefully, the 3rd movie continues that instead of Blacking Rey.

>you think you want an actual plot, proper characterisation and a consistent universe but you don't

He’s getting 80% positive reaction on twitter? Must start spamming him to bring balance, when the hacks rise connoisseurs will rise to meet it.

Only nazis will hate this film s m h.

>Lucas never made a "Star Wars" movie by sitting down and thinking, "What do the fans want to see?"
he literally did

It’s not about writing what fans want, its about not shitting all over existing lore and canon

>says the guy that wrote the pointless Rose/Finn casino sequence and made future writing significantly harder with the existence of lightspeed kamikazes

t. Nerd virgin

No he didn't

>I don't care what the fans think, and also the fans love it SO THERE!

Wot? Do people even realise the prequels is basically just the Vader origin story. It's all about Anakin. It was the selling point of the prequels.

lessened jar jar and increased volume and frequency of light saber fights after phantom menace purely based on fan criticism

He did. BUT the fans Lucas was worried about were the 8-12 years old kids that love to buy shit.

...

Maybe he should have thought about who is watching this...because...it's being made for people watching this?
Maybe little boys and manchildren don't want to see a purple haired SJWs, women scolding and saving clumsy retarded men, Luke Skywalker turned into a cowardly retard who died for nothing, a Mary Sue, people milking alien titties, thicc Adam Driver, and a meaningless characters like smoke.

YOUR NÜ WARS TRILOGY?
remember your shit isn't G-canon and never will be

That what happens when Disney deletes all negative ones.

>He thought the fans wanted to see Vader's origin, and was wrong.
They wanted to see it not executed so poorly.

>He thought fans wanted a funny character that would turn out to be the bad guy mastermind like Jar-Jar but he was wrong.
Literally no one ever asked for that because it's a retarded after-the-fact fan theory that not even Lucas would be dumb enough to come up with.

And Attack of the Clones was worse

>Lucas never made a "Star Wars" movie by sitting down and thinking, "What do the fans want to see?"
OK that's fine but we didn't like the originals because a hack wrote a shitty movie we weren't expecting

He's right that sitting down and saying "what do the fans want" is the wrong way, the problem is he's building off of JJ who literally started this trilogy by sitting down saying "what do the fans want" because he's a hack.

Based Rian's only mistake was trying to step into JJ's creatively bankrupt nostalgia fest and actually do something interesting. Rian needs a clean slate.

debatable, but fact remains George did sit down and thought about what fans want to see

Not when he wrote the good ones, no

This has to be a Disney shilling talking point
AotC is arguably the best of that trilogy

Today: Anger
Tomorrow: Bargaining

Are you larping as Rian or actually him?

youtube.com/watch?v=Kj3opk1QFTM
I hope he dies

>No he didn't

>Dude! What if R2D2 was with Obiwan at the start and Darth Vader built c3po! Oh, and there is a bobba fett but its his dad that looks and acts just like him. Lots of lightsaber fights even Yoda gets in there and the Emporer fights him!

The hate campaign for this was ready to go before it even came out. Part of the star wars fandom now is a chunk of people who WANT something to hate and make fun of.

Yeah the retarded chase through space, Superman Leia or Poe soloing a dreadnought like it was nothing sure was JJ's fault.

I mean to write and direct the movie that he did is there any surprise that he is delusional?

Wrong.

I just want it to stop. It just needs to stop.

TFA was well received. R1 was well received.

TLJ is simply garbage.

"Jar jar is the key to all this"

"we just have to get him working"

Fuck this guy, making this bullshit argument. He did what the COMPANY wanted.

Yeah, I don't buy it. The Force Awakens was 100% "What do the fans want to see? Oh, Han and the Falcon and the Skywalker family continuing." That movie went down better than this.

Of course he did. He even changed the story of return of the jedi and attack of the clones for fans. This fucking moron is just making excuses.

Yep, he's just worried about his legacy. Think about it, what does he have to do now to not be remembered as the 'Man who ruined Star Wars'? He'd have to make at least 3 masterpieces from here on out, distance himself from Star War as much as possible and even then, most people would still remember him for ruining Star Wars.

and? TFA is shit. Inoffensive shit but shit nonetheless

>Rian Johnson Strikes Back from criticism
Too bad he couldn't make a movie that could top ESB
They could only manage an article because of damage control

TFA still had heaps of haters

link?

>Lucas never made a "Star Wars" movie by sitting down and thinking, "What do the fans want to see?

The Prequels had tons of fan service though.

Explain how the porg scenes in ep VIII were better than the Jar Jar scenes in ep I. Also, explain to me how the romantic Finn / Rose scenes were better than the romantic Anakin / Padmé scenes of ep II.

Let's face it, Rian Johnson made a prequel tier movie with even less worldbuilding and even worse music.

If you like this movie but hate the prequels, you're just part of the meme crowd.

The fact they are killing off the original heroes is the biggest insult to this new triology.

> what do the fans want to see
No, but he would've understood, the if something is set up in the first movie of a trilogy, it might not be the best idea to shit all over it and disgard it, since it ruins the story thread, becomes unbelievable and breaks continuity within the trilogy itself.

> Rey beats Kylo
> Snoke is all "Come we need to finish your training"
Now imagine if Obi-Wan at the end of Phantom Menace is like "Anakin, I'm going to train you", then in the next movie they haven't done shit or even interacted with each other in 10 years.

The same way they did to JJ?

No idiots ate that shit up and loved it.

You just had to continue that or be faithful to the series but nope, "Irma due watt eye wont"

google.com

Î dont get why Disney get those directors who mage those bland movies i mean just look at the track record of JJ and Rian Johnson.
None of their Movies make me think "Fuck yeah get that guy to make the next Starwars"

Get someone like Guillermo del Toro ,Denis Villeneuve or Tim Burton(just kidding but that shit at least would be interesting)

>STOP being mad at me!
>L-Lucas was hated too!
>Most people like the film, honest
Jesus, this is pathetic. Have we actually beaten the mouse?

to be fair making a movie that idiots eat up and love is not what a director should be shooting for.

I have always wanted to see a Luke Skywalker enter a teenage padawan's bedroom in the middle of the night with pederastic overtones

>it’s a manlet doubles down Episode

>The fact they are killing off the original heroes is the biggest insult to this new triology.

Not really, that had to happen. Everyone knew Han was going to die after Ford basically begging to be killed off since Empire. It's the manner at which they're killed that I object.

To think that Phantom Menace was the worst Star Wars movie to me 3 days ago...

the man who saved Star Wars

Now I know why they made Rian direct this fucked up screenplay. He's a naive nu-male who thought he was gonna get good boy points for fucking up Luke and SW in general, but Disney picked him just to take the heat after doing all the dirty work.

I gave TFA the benefit of the doubt, even though it didn't stand on its own as a movie, that it set up enough plot threads for a good sequel to redeem it. I liked Looper, Ozymandias, and Fifty-One too so I had nothing against Rian either.
I wanted it to be good, and I fucking despised it.

no the movie was just shit and filled with awful fucking jokes and an ESB rehash, does this fuckwit think he wrote anything unique?

Force awakens was still viewed as a good movie by fans. Fans were just a little pissed it was a copy of episode 4. Most people forgave it as long as the next movies were not copies.

The last jedi is just a fucking mess.

>Also, explain to me how the romantic Finn / Rose scenes were better than the romantic Anakin / Padmé scenes of ep II.

The romance between Finn/Rose didn't drag on is as many cheesy scenes as Anakin/Padme did. It was inoffensive by comparison.


Granted the entire Casino subplot was shit and a complete waste of time, but it wasn't because of the romance.

it's not a copy tho, that's what Rian wanted to avoid

They want good enough directors that are not too risky and that they can still have full control on what should be seen on screen.

Why do you think they put a fat chink character to travel with Fynn for the entire movie? They need that chink money and love, my dear friend. The mouse gets greedier and greedier every day.

Right, and TLJ is offensive shit.
>56%

The problem is he failed on both fronts.
Because SJWs don't want to see the black main character sidelined into pointlessness, all the leads be white, and all pocs be background characters.
Even tumblrites are complaining that Laura's character was triggering because she got so many people killed.

He somehow managed to offend everywhere and only pleased the people who were always going to unconditionally like the film.

> And let me just add that 80-90% of the reaction I've gotten from Twitter has been really lovely.

That's because you ASSUME people mad at you/the movie, are rude. Most will complain on foruns, on yt or news pages, not going to your place to point fingers.

They want someone who'll take orders. Remember they asked pretty much every director in Hollywood to direct TFA and they all turned down the gig. Even JJ turned it down at first before agreeing to do it later for whatever reason, $$$ probably.

Attack of the Clones was awesome, fuck off

He's not even fat...

Are you implying that TLJ isn't shit

>And let me just add that 80-90% of the reaction I've gotten from Twitter has been really lovely. Th

Thats right such little criticism reached him he had to address it. Wait ...

>copies from ESB
>and RotJ

Nice going, Rian.

>..What do the fans want to see?" And I knew if I wrote wondering what the fans would want, as tempting as that is, it wouldn't work,

But that's exactly what Rian did

A copy of something good is objectively better than a mess. If you want to do something new with existing material that's fine, just make sure you understand the source material first and be prepared to withstand the backlash if you fail.
