Okay
So this is Star Wars
lets not kid ourselves in that literally every single movie
everything goes perfectly
LITERALLY
everything
Everyone that was killed in the prequels died because lol!plot
As for the OT
Deathstar blown up first try
No one dead
luke doing badass training
Lando betrays everyone but it's okay because he's a good guy again for no real reason
Han is frozen but lol!opening scene for badassery
Death Star blown up again
Literally no one ever dies that is important except for Darth Vader and the plans always work out peachy
NOW YOU GET THE LAST JEDI
Everyone is a fucking failure
1. Entire bombing crew is dead
2. All the ships get fucked on escape
3. Tiny rebel force is getting their shit kicked in by the hilariously overpowered First Order, AND RIGHTLY SO
4. They can't get a codebreaker worth a damn
5. They hire a rat who ends up BEING A RAT
6. Their escape plan from the escape plan gets fucked as well
7. NO ONE WANTS TO HELP THE REBELS, AINT HOPE FOR SHIT
8. Finn would either die destroying the cannon while no help comes to save the rebels(since Luke wasn't real, he was just a diversion for them to escape)
9. Finn failing and the door getting blown open
So a quick recap, the rebels get bent over backwards and are barely surviving with no one giving a shit about them.
What's pissing a lot of people of is I think they're mad they don't get the escapism effects like all the other movies and we're stuck with a realist point of view.

And there are 2 major problems with people complaining about the Holdo Maneuver.
1) They presuppose that if a military tactic has been completed successfully, everyone must have always known that was always a possibility in all the times previous and LOLYDIDNTTHEYDOTHATEARLIER, which is, you know, not how anything works in the history of human anything ever. Why didn't Mozart rip wicked ass guitar solos with whammy pedals and sick LFO drops on the harp?
2) It's not an effective technique moving forward, at the very least not for the Rebels. Hyperdrives are expensive, and they're basically out of ships. It can be argued that the First Order could pull off these tricks but you still need right time and setting; the destroyer that Holdo crashed into was busy shooting at the escaping vessels instead of moving. So you need a very large object to crash into another very large object while the second object is also very distracted and thus unable to maneuver out of the path of destruction.
This doesn't really change much of anything moving forward irt space battles. Go complain about other things that are ridiculously more... ridiculous. Like gravity in space. Or dead people flying in the vacuum of space and oh she's also alive and also now in a coma because all of that adds up god I fucking hate that scene.
Honestly i will agree if she died right there i would have been very happy

In post 178, zoraster wrote:let's just say releasing the bombs exerted a slight downward motion to them, making them travel "down." Perhaps each has a springed lever that when the restraining device is removed, pushes it. And pushing it in space does not meet air resistance, so it just keeps moving in the same direction. Presumably bombers designed like that would have SOME mechanism for getting the bombs to travel out of the ship unless you think the bombardier manually grabs one and chucks it down normally.
This was like... the least concerning thing about the movies, which have always taken a pretty loose interpretation of the effects of space. For example, we sure hear a lot of noises from space battles!
Okay i will say what got me upset was the fact that when the first order was shelling the shit out of the rebels, the lasers somehow had an arc to them
THEY DONT LIKE THE FUCK ITS A LASER IN SPACE

In post 222, zoraster wrote:2. It's filmed in this weird way that makes it seem like Vader is awesome and we're supposed to cheer him on. We just had a movie where supposedly we're supposed to care about the people who did all this stuff to help the rebellion. But the movie ends (other than Leia's "hope" thing) with Vader being badass. Like now we're supposed to cheer on this horrible embodiment of everything that the crew was giving their lives to defeat? It's so weird and inappropriate.
I actually think this point is up to the interpreter because what I get from the scene is what I think makes a great villain; one who makes you think "oh fuck, everyone's fucked" and have this fear factor like "oh what is he gonna do" and I do expect it to be a spectacle, a thrill I guess I'd call it.
Also I remember watching it in theatres and when people were dying and the beam finally wiped out the surface I was sad and shit, kinda depressing but after the Vader scene I was so hype and happy and leaving the theatre I could come out all excited and talk in this elated tone. So not to end it on a sad note, they put in that scene to lift up your spirits so you come out happy.
Dunno if that makes sense, hope it does.

In post 230, xRECKONERx wrote:the first point was "This is supposed to be a self-contained narrative centering around Jyn Erso and yet the showstopping climax and finale is all centered around Vader, rendering Jyn's story obsolete"
So when Jyn Erso dies the movie is just supposed to end right there?
When she's dead she can literally no longer be part of the movie

Was this a response to why is Luke not like Luke?

JJ wrote:The story of history repeating itself was, I believe, an obvious and intentional thing, and the structure of meeting a character who comes from a nowhere desert and discovers that she has a power within her, where the bad guys have a weapon that is destructive but that ends up being destroyed — those simple tenets are by far the least important aspects of this movie, and they provide bones that were well-proven long before they were used in Star Wars.
JJ wrote:So I understand that this movie, I would argue much more than the ones that follow, needed to take a couple of steps backwards into very familiar terrain, and using a structure of nobodies becoming somebodies defeating the baddies — which is, again, I would argue, not a brand new concept, admittedly
The director bloody says he's reusing material to launch his story
