Seriously what was with all the red in Last Jedi? The throne room scene was ugly, and I don't understand why the ground on Crayt is red salt but there's like 1mm of white granular salt on top the obvious answer is to make it look like Hoth but that's stupid.

RED IS DARK AND BADASS

The red stuff wasn't salt, it was some red crystal. The salt was blown in from elsewhere, basically like salt flats on Earth.

Because the movie was based on Kathleen Kennedy's period.

It's to subvert your expectations

Red is hellish.

Red is deeply connected to females

>Film is loaded with the colour red
>Nearly every female character in the movie acts completely irrational and retarded, even Leia
It's that time of the franchise, I guess.

Why was Snoke taken from some distant and powerful character before in TFA to now some small and weak character who gets killed easy

what? salt flats are shallow oceans that dried up

the red would be the mud, substrate, or more commonly on earth some form of red algae that could thrive in very salty water

Throne room was shit and having red guards on the red backdrop was retarded. I really liked Crait tbf, too bad there's just 15~minutes of a bullshit non-battle there.

What's even stupider is that about the only edible and enjoyable salt is sodium chloride and that planet actually consists of sodium chloride and nobody is using it for anything as far as we know.

A smart person wouldn't have tried to taste it unless he knew it wasn't poisonous. But if he knew, he wouldn't have had to test in the first place.

>A smart person wouldn't have tried to taste it unless he knew it wasn't poisonous.
There are no smart characters in the sequel trilogy, some are simply less retarded than others.

The same reason Kylo is a powerful Force user and competent antagonist for only the first 45min of TFA

its the period theme because the force is female

He seemed like a real threat right until he took off his helmet. His entrance on Jakku was good.

Normally you would think having it all red would make it the most darkest film. Instead they filled it to the brim with quips.

His conversation with Poe real fucking killed the film early on

It would make sense to the subtext at a visual level if the situation was becoming dire, people were dying and the sith, who use red lightsabers, were starting to dominate.
But the bad guys don't even win at the end. There is no sense of despair, mostly because you don't care about the characters, but even if you did the situation never feels all that dire despite the odds being against them and they still get away in the end.
Man, this movie is so shit on every level.

The first tantrum with the FO guy doing an impression from Hitler's Downfall was it imo. That scene made it blatantly clear that they're incapable of writing a SW villain.
