>Critics Consensus: Star Wars: The Last Jedi honors the saga's rich legacy while adding some surprising twists -- and delivering all the emotion-rich action fans could hope for.
Are the critics right?

No

>fans
Critics don't understand Star Wars fans. They think we're all as dumb as capeshit fans

This movie is close to a billion dollars, you morons ARE as dumb as capeshitters.

>calling TLJ emotion-rich action
was it autism?

They literally, explicitly said they were not going to be faithful to the originals numerous times. Reinvisioning the setting, shoehorning in radical politics etc.
How the flying fuck can it be faithful? Its one of the most unfaitherful couple of movies ever made.
TLJ is one of the worst films of all time.

Postmodernism has ruined Star Wars -- they are nihilists and as such, do not have a strong connection to heart, soul, and empathy. They are emotionally deficient sociopaths, and have inverted the Star Wars heart and soul that George Lucas brought to his universe.

In the original Star Wars trilogy, the light side of the Force puts forth a process oriented vision of peace, while the dark side puts forth an "ends justifies the means" vision of peace. However, in the new movie "The Last Jedi", both the light and dark sides are conveying the same message to the audience, "be in the moment, and destroy the past" as their vision of peace, as Kylo wants to destroy the idea of Rey's family of origin, the Sith, and the Jedi, while Luke wants to destroy his nephew and the Jedi Order. The movie then proceeds to bastardize the legacies of, and then kill off, all of the original male characters in an unceremonious fashion to support their vision of a heartless and soulless present moment.

Was Star Wars the Last Jedi true art, or the deconstruction of true art? It wasn't art, since art is creative; it was an inversion of art, as it was destructive. The philosophy of tearing down the past is called Postmodernism and Deconstructivism, and it has infected political progressivism, the New Age movement, modern (third wave) feminism, governments, and most universities worldwide. This is a destructive worldview (deconstructive and postmodern worldviews, really), as our past culture is what gives us our stability, identity, and acts as a foundation to our experiences in the present moment. When we destroy our past culture and norms, we become tremendously easy to manipulate, for we lack a firm foundation, balance, and a stable identity. Instead, we should learn and build upon our past as we continue to move forward with a clear vision of our future—as this is a healthy and reasonable process oriented progression.

>It had tweeeeeeests so its good
no, fuck off

>The breathtaking and emotional scenes between the film's most important characters - Kylo Ren and Rey - are undermined by unnecessary and sagging B plots in the second act.

>This movie is close to a billion dollars

Not even their scoring system works.

>honors ... legacy
This trilogy literall does the opposite by undermining the entire original saga's ending. There was no reason to see old Han, Luke, and Leia and watch them all die as failures, their accomplishments and growth all undone.

Any critic

Critics are jerking this movie off because it pushes the political themes they adore. Writing, pacing, acting, and other far more important matters are getting ignored because the film favors their political and social agendas. There are entire subplots in this movie dedicated to "mansplaining" and anti-capitalism.

critics: Why Movie That Made Money Is Good Because Its Popular?

just ingore their stupid clickbait shit

no I regard all star wars stuff made after it was sold to Disney as non canon

this is the only patrician view.

What twists?

No. Rian slaughtered the soul of Star Wars because of ignorance.

If disgust is an emotion.

Completely straight faced rip-off scenes from ESB and ROTJ, some of them inverted from their original. Also, complete denial of resolving any leads from the previous movie

>Rey Skywalker and Kylo Vader Enter the Snokemperor's Throne Room while a space battle rages outside. Kylo Vader betrays his former master whilst he is occupied torturing Rey Skywalker. Tweest: Instead of being the final boss, Snokemperor was a nobody and got sliced before he could explain his motivation in clearer detail.

>Kylo Vader reveals a shocking secret about Rey Skywalker's parentage, he offers Rey Skywalker a union to forge a new path together, standing in front of her with outstretched hand. She is mortified but declines. Tweest: Not-Emperor is already dead at this point. She is nobody, her parents were junkies.

>A male and female side character find themselves in a lush megalopolis environment due to hyperdrive-related troubles. They are looking for someone who can help them overcome those troubles. They find someone, but he rats them out to the Empire. It all ends in catastrophy. Tweest: The guy doesn't care for them and fucks off.

>The rebel forces have to retreat to a barren inhospitable planet, where they are attacked by Imperial Walkers approaching them with the intent of blowing up their base. The Rebels retaliate with trench warfare and modified speeders. Tweest: They lose.

>Rey Skywalker visits Hermit Luke on a watery green planet with the intention of being trained in the ways of the Jedi. Hermit Luke is not convinced and declines. Tweest: He never trains her, and she fucks off after beating his ass up before he can finish his third introductory lesson.

>Rey Skywalker enters a place strong in the Dark Side on the watery planet. She sees a confusing reflection of herself, the meaning not 100% clear until later.

Those were the major ones.

>Instead, we should learn and build upon our past as we continue to move forward with a clear vision of our future—as this is a healthy and reasonable process oriented progression.
I said this the last time I saw this pasta (and I'm not going to bother writing everything I did then), but this is exactly the point of TLJ. I have no idea why so many people are missing this, because it's the focus of the entire last third of the movie.

So another remake with slight differences here and there so they can claim originality?

But Rebels is bretty gud

yes and no

Yes. Though the order of the scenes is shaken up and the borrowing from the rest of the OT is more noticeable.

>TFA is good
