Is it okay to not like The Last Jedi, and also have a feeling this is going to suck?
Its okay to loathe every Star Wars movie ever made, just don't tell me any of them are the "worst movie ever made". Thats what triggers me.Quote:

Nothing.
I said it when GoT was starting its last season, "its impossible to wrap this up in a way that will make anyone happy. At least 50% of the fans will be pissed."Quote:

I was reminded today that the script for "Skywalker" was co-written by the dude who wrote "Batman v Superman" and "Justice League."
So yeah.

It’s quite a sight to behold.
Fan culture is the fucking worst part of this business.
I have to say, there is something amusing about seeing some of the TLJ fanboys being upset that the latest movie doesn't follow through on Johnson's "vision" after spending the last two years criticizing TLJ haters for crying about Johnson not paying appropriate respect to Lucas' vision.Quote:

I'm mostly looking forward to the Ewok death cultQuote:

And my problems with the haters have nothing to do with what they think of "Lucas' vision".Quote:

Busy guy. That wouldn't come out until probably 2023 if true.Quote:
