I legitimately don't see how Rian Johnson couldn't have done this shit on purpose. He basically said fuck you to JJ and the fans in every way he possibly could. There's no possible way it wasn't on purpose. Either that or he's a complete fucking retard, which I guess is probably more likely.
Anyway, I'm still hoping JJ says fuck you right back and undoes literally everything Rian did in TLJ, since that's what Rian did to him. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

If all this shit happened I think it would save the Sequel Trilogy. Thoughts?

Easton Hernandez
You nigger, it was this man who ruined the sequel trilogy in the first place with his trite, uninspired shitfest of a movie and his fucking boxes. TLJ found a way to be even worse than this, but at least Rian shat all over JJ and his shitty little boxes.
Ayden Phillips
Star Wars is over. I'm never paying to see another Star Wars movie. If you give Disney your money and you go see IX after this dumpster fire, shame on you.
Ethan Gray
I think it was a wager on who could mess up the SW universe more with only a single movie. It was a stupid thing to do, much like certain authors writing entire series based on drinking bets like 'Can you make a book series out of these nouns: 'Roman Empire' and 'Pokemon' Even if the answer is yes, it doesn't mean you should.

Nothing can savage SW after ep VIII.

I agree, I refuse to see TLJ, I have just read and heard tons of detailed plot summaries online so I know generally what happens, but I won't give them my fucking money

Actually, the best part about ep. VIII for me was how Johnson took J.J. Abrams' "mystery box" and basically revealed that he'd taken a big steaming shit n it. I didn't even enjoy the movie very much, it was just gratifying to see someone take the reins from Abrams' absolutely asinine method of storytelling and subvert or spoil it in every way possible.
The fact that Abrams has to dig himself out for IX is the icing on top.
Levi Powell
It's depressing that this really is the best option right now.
David Thomas
I still don't really get how they didn't set up a plan for the entire trilogy before filming anything and are just kind of winging it changing who is in charge of each movie.
Connor Murphy
Don't get your hopes up. They are never getting rid of the fat Asian. These people are too naive to realize what the audience hates. They are going to double down and fuck up Yoda more and have more annoying pink haired leaders. It's over user. I'm sorry
Ryan Thomas
Abrams produced it, right? I'm shocked that he actually let Johnson do that. I realize that he had no idea of what his mystery box was going to reveal, but after Lost you think he would have learned his lesson on actually giving audiences payoffs to storylines.
Brody James
Because everybody involved is in it for anything but telling a good Star Wars story. Whether it be just money, some personal ideology, or whatever, nobody really cares about the franchise enough to make it right. And if they do, they're not in a position to do anything.
The deal was announced around Halloween 2012, so there was plenty of time to spend all of 2013 and part of 2014 getting things into place. But I guess nobody cared.
Joshua Lopez
>Actually, the best part about ep. VIII for me was how Johnson took J.J. Abrams' "mystery box" and basically revealed that he'd taken a big steaming shit n it I get that, and if I didn't give a shit about Star Wars I'd feel the same way. But I can't forgive Rian for destroying the franchise as horribly as he did. Yes, JJ did a shit job starting it off, but Rian could absolutely have saved it and made it great. Instead he chose to shit on JJ and the fans. Either that or he's such a fucking moron he actually thought his story was good.
Mason Robinson
You're probably right and that's fucking depressing.
Blake Brooks

jj had already ruined the sequel trilogy with TFA, johnson's only options were to try and salvage it without stepping on any executive toes, or pour more fuel on the dumpster fire and at least fuck up jj's vision in the process. can't say I'd have done things differently.
Carson Lopez
Even if he did you would have to be a retarded lowlife to give them more money.
Jason Brooks
if all... and I mean ALL that dumb shit happens I would kek heartily and see the damn movie.
For let us be honest these flicks (7-9) arent star wars movies these are high budget fan fics, all made with no respect for the source material

You people are disgusting.
No wonder we end up with so many horrible movies.

Unironically this, JJ that hack fucked this shit up from the get go, while exposing him might as well see how far you can go, I don't blame Rian if those were his intentions. Maybe he was just retarded though.

Adrian Thomas
Why did George leave everything in their hands. He must have known this would happen. I guess he was so upset with all the backlash from the prequels that he just said, "fuck it, let it burn."
Joshua Wood
I think Gareth did, he just got fucked over by Kennedy.
Landon Young
Kill yourself faggot, JJ killed star wars with his half ass faggot reboot that doesn't fit with the OT.
JJ said fuck you to the fans you dumb shit. Rian was trying to salvage this garbage ass franchise. I hope it dies, Star Wars is gayer than watching two niggers fuck each other in the ass. Fuck off and die soy boy.
Hunter Nelson
Here's what it's really going to be. >Luke and Snoke are dead. >Rey is a faggot Mary Sue. >The not-Rebellion miraculously gets a half dozen armadas. >Superweapon that looks like a sphere with a laser on it. Seriously. Are you honestly expecting more from a glorified highlight reel of the OT?!

Trevorrow wasn't fired until September last year. I don't think J.J. was aware he was going to have be the janitor that cleans up the shit.

>"fuck it, let it burn." And I have joined George in this sentiment. There will be no coming back after Solo fucks the pig. This franchise dies in 2018 and that's a good thing
Cameron Edwards
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
Camden Jenkins
Johnson was the one who tried to "salvage" Abrams derivative set-up and dumb "mystery box" writing that may work in television but sure as hell not in a movie. There was no way to answer the question for Snoke's identity that wouldn't have been underwhelming. There was no way to answer the question about Rey's parents that wouldn't have been underwhelming either and the movie's one stroke of genius, the one thing that makes me able to look past the lame humor and weird subplots, is the decision to have Rey not be related to anyone important. She's a hero because she does the right thing, not because she has the right heritage.
Jordan Johnson
i love it too much, i can't let it go
James Rodriguez
Fucking sheep. Completely incapable of formulating your own opinion and just parroting shit you hear. Absolutely pathetic.
Henry Brooks
Just a reminder trailer WAS supposed to release on friday.
Carson Butler
Except we already know that JJ had answers, his original plans were revealed during some podcast with Pablo I believe.
>Snoke was a religious figure, TFO started out as cult. >Rey was Kylo's presumed death sister. >Finn was supposed to get reconditioned. >Snoke wanted to summon Vader's presence and put Vader into Kylo's body. >Luke was a badass.
Adam Lewis
what the hell is wrong with his nose?
Jaxson Diaz
His (((nose))) is perfectly normal, goyim
William Richardson
the only way to salvage this is if someone wakes up in the next movie and says it was all just a vision of a possible future.
Austin Scott
kys, shill
that jew is the one that fucked it all up in the first place
Jaxon Sanchez
>>Rey was Kylo's presumed death sister.
I understand those answers came early on. So there were changes.
But, watching TFA there's no way they didn't intend for audiences to think she wasn't Luke's daughter.
Jonathan Clark
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXnNq-BI_08 Entertainment Tonight interview with Mark Hamill, 1983:
Hamill: It's the last one for everyone except for the two robots. They are the only ones who go through the three trilogies, the nine stories.
Shriver: I've heard that you've been hired to come back as Luke Skywalker in the last Star Wars film 18 years from now. Is that true?
Hamill: In, in something like 2004 or something.
Shriver: You're going to be back?
Hamill: But you see its okay because it's either going to be on another plane of existence or not the same character and I can't really tell you why without sort of getting into sensitive material.
All of this would have been much better than what we got.
Easton Clark
>injecting gay characters into a kids space movie >nose what a coincidence
Jacob Rogers
George brought in his ideas for the trilogy after he sold it and they told him to fuck off. Sure the prequels weren't the greatest but at least he has a vision, Star Wars still had a soul. That's gone now
Eli Baker
That should be interesting considering what happened with Lost.
>There was no way to answer the question for Snoke's identity
Darth Plagueis
>There was no way to answer the question about Rey's parents
She's Luke's daughter. This was completely obvious in TFA. He dropped her off on Jakku to protect her from Snoke.
This stuff wasn't hard to figure out. Johnson just didn't care to.
Isaac Richardson
Yes. That's way I wrote "that wouldn't be underwhelming" user. Rey being Luke's daughter would have been so obvious, it wouldn't even have been a twist. Snoke being Darth Plagueis would have meant absolutely nothing to people who didn't remember a name mentioned once in Episode 3 and have been an underwhelming answer to thise who did.
Anthony Gonzalez
...
Landon Turner
Fair enough. But I think obvious answers are better than extremely disappointing and underwhelming answers.
Jack Peterson
this is sad. just let it go dude.
Gabriel Brown
>everything has to be a twist and can't just be something expected presented in a deeply satisfying way
Andrew Turner
>This stuff wasn't hard to figure out. Johnson just didn't care to. JJ didn't give a fuck, it wasn't like there was some kind of outline that rian ignored. JJ killed star wars and rian rubbed salt in the wound.
Aaron Hughes
Maybe if you cry hard enough disney will make a version of star wars you want. With a nice bottle of blue milk to go with your chewbaca blanky.
Jayden White
he stopped caring when he realized all the films he had the least to do with and had the most creative help on were the ones people liked.
Charles Miller
he stopped caring when he greenlit the holiday special for his wallet.
Parker Brooks
There is nothing left to salvage. Only Original Trilogy characters left are supporting characters (not even portrayed by the original actors), the universe has been completely reset, the Resistance has like thirty members at best, Rey has nowhere to go as character, and neither Kylo Ren or the First Order are menacing enough to be effective villains. Since Rey is a female empowerment character she won't succumb to the dark side and will get a happy ending. The only thing left for Kylo Ren is to die since he is the big bad (Phasma is dead and Hux is a bad cartoon character). Redeeming when would be a repeat of ROTJ and people are less accepting of borrowing from the OT. The Force Awakens set this trilogy up for failure and The Last Jedi sealed its fate.
Xavier Carter
Why are people acting like luke dying is a big deal, he's a jedi, they literally cannot die till their actor dies.
Mason Jones
He want to leave a legacy on the right hands. His children doesn't want to run his business and Kennedy whisper in his ear that Disney is his only hope of leaving his legacy. Basically, he was vulnerable to corruption in his old age.
Brody Brown
his kids are smart af
Gavin Edwards
we're going to be seeing a lot of "was"s with this franchise
Benjamin Murphy
Death, even in Star Wars, has an impact. This issue was kind of a big deal with the prequel dedicated to Anakin trying to prevent the death of his lover. Every death has a meaning, regardless if a few could become a jedi ghost or not.
Luis Cook
He was my childhood hero.
I guess you don't have any heroes.
William Butler
obi wan died in anh and was in every film following ...cough cough fucking yoda and hamil is the only star of the ot that likes star wars.
Logan Diaz
he is mine too, and for the record still is, probably more so now.
Lincoln Wood
They both die to teach Luke some lesson. In TLJ? There isn't much going for him being a ghost. Rey clearly doesn't give a fuck about him if he was a ghost. The only thing he really done is save a few named character from their death and then died after all the shit he been through in the movie. That and Mark wasn't told about this death.
Easton Clark
there is no evidence that proves that is true
Hunter Wilson
>it wouldn't even have been a twist.
who fucking cares? le epic tweest isn't the pinnacle of good story telling.
Jason Cook
Rian Johnson writes like a level one Troll. I used to say shit like that to rage people on the internet ten years ago.
Cameron Taylor
Still better than anything Rian did.
Jonathan Rivera
>Luke lived Why? Why would this be a good thing? People aren't mad because he died. They were mad because he wasn't treated like Luke Skywalker when he was alive.
>Rey is a Kenobi How? That would retcon ObiWan to be a breaker of the Jedi code like Anakin despite lecturing Anakin. It would also invalidate the lesson learned by Anakin.
Jeremiah Parker
Video doesn't seem to exist, can you repost link pls.. this is very interesting
Carter Evans
Oh fuck off. Quit pretending JJ was good because Rian was shit.
Juan Martin
>still trying to sell merchandise Get outta here JIDF
Jordan White
Rian actually did a decent job. I'm looking forward to his trilogy where he's not forced to deal with JJ's awful setup. Hopefully Kennedy will be gone by then too.
Nathan Williams
>that pic So instead of developing Poe, Rian Johnson invented an entirely different underdeveloped character to go with Finn on a pointless subplot?
Elijah Smith
It will be cancelled silently and accidentally become the new Shadows of the Empire, that is, all of the merch of a film without the actual film
Robert Powell
And the big payoff of all that was that utterly moronic move she pulled on Crait, apparently.
Carson Bell
That's a line in the actual movie? I thought it was just some new meme I hadn't heard about.
Jacob Johnson
>Finn was supposed to get reconditioned.
That's horrible and I would actually care
What is a death sister
Julian James
nice source faggot
Matthew Martin
Maybe somebody could, but it sure as hell ain't JJ. He's as much responsible for this mess as anybody.
Josiah Price
>Rian actually did a decent job. Yes I quite liked Looper. Last Jedi was pure ass though.
