Oh hey mate how've you been? Yeah yeah I'm not bad I actually went to see Star Wars the
last Jedi on Thursday I thought it was I thought it was okay I didn't think it
was anything particularly special but then I didn't think it was that bad
either. I mean the story was okay but the pacing was a bit all over the place and
to be honest with you Finn and Roses storyline could have done with not being
there at all I mean yeah I appreciate the fact there was a lot of badass
female characters in it but it seems to come at the expense of making all of the
potentially badass male characters looking like absolute buffoons so I didn't
really appreciate that too much but other than that I don't really have too much of
a problem. Yeah that was one of the most surreal scenes I've seen in a Star Wars
film ever and that includes all the shite that we saw in the prequels yeah I
I think it would have probably been better if Leia had actually died at that
particular point in time he would have had a damn sight more meaning and now
with the reports that she's not actually gonna be in episode 9 at all and yet she
survived until the end of episode 8
I'm not 100% sure why they didn't just kill her off at that point it would have
made her death a damn sight more meaningful so I'm not a hundred percent
sure what they are they were thinking about with that. I've got to be honest I
had no feelings on Rose of one way or the other.
Rose, Rosa whichever one is but yeah you know I don't really have anything to
really say about Rose she was that nondescript for me I just don't really have
much to say about it. To be honest with you this is really what I think I think
if it was just a standalone movie standalone action movie The Last Jedi
would have been... it would have been okay but I think it's as a Star Wars movie
it is a little bit terrible certainly not as good as The Force Awakens and by
no means as good as The Force Awakens but I think it's it's definitely better
than Episode one I think in the prequels but not not by.... not by much. The
acting was pretty good in it I mean I think the acting was good so I can't
really place the blame of the film being really poor on the actors I can't really
do that because I just think the the actual acting performances especially
from Adam Driver were phenomenally good but it was just they just had such
piss-poor dialogue to work with and I placed the blame solely on Rian
Johnson's
solely at Ryan Johnson's doorstep for that and the writing team and the producers... I
think that it's those.... it's that team that that really really screwed things
up I can't lay the blame of this for that are the actors feets feet feets yeah.
All in all if this had just been a standalone movie then this film would
have been a pretty okay action movie but it isn't it's a Star Wars movie and in
that regard it's a terrible Star Wars movie episodes two and three are looking
like masterpieces in comparison to me you know I actually enjoyed episodes 2 &
3 more than I enjoyed episode 8 plus the fact that they've completely and utterly
taken away any interest I have in seeing episode 9. They just completely and utterly
erased any kind of intrigue and anything built up by episode 7 so at the
intrigue in Snoke, Snoke is now dead so that's gone nowhere. Rey's parentage
past off as you know a non mystery, although having said that I think that
they've thrown in a little bit of a red herring in terms of Rey's parentage
because I don't believe Kylo was being entirely honest I think Kylo was trying
to get Rey to lose all hope so that he would actually join sorry that she so
that she would actually join him you know in in ruling the galaxy, but yeah a
lot of the stuff and and yeah Luke was just neutered completely in the film.
I fundamentally disagree with what they did with Luke's character and the
fact that Luke died at the end of the film I think that is just absolute
bollocks basically. I mean the only storyline of
any real consequence now is Kylo and Rey, that's the only storyline of consequence
now... Oh yeah they killed Captain Phasma in this one as well god knows why they
killed Captain Phasma at this point. The whole idea of a trilogy is that
everything comes to a head in the you know in the final episode of that
trilogy so episode 3 that's where everything should have come to a head,
so Snoke should have died in the you know in in Episode nine, Captain Phasma
should have died in Episode nine, Luke should have probably died in Episode
nine and god knows what storyline Poe is on there but it's just a little bit it's
so convoluted and fucked up. Episode eight completely and utterly screwed
the pooch in terms of storytelling it basically tried to introduce.... it put
agendas and themes and metaphors ahead of good storytelling. I mean a lot of the
scenes in that movie are just there for metaphorical purposes
rather than actually good storytelling. Like the burning of the Jedi Temple that
that scene could have done with not being there. As much as I enjoyed seeing
Yoda come back although I really wish they would have decided whether they
wants to use a puppet or CG for Yoda but it was very nice to hear Frank Oz back,
but that entire scene could have done could have done with not being in there.
All it was was just metaphorical nonsense they didn't need to be there in
terms of you know the grand scheme of storytelling it really didn't need to be
there that's all and I wish they hadn't have put it there but hey. The entire
theme was about you know letting go of the past or destroying the
past so... the problem being is they rammed that
theme down your throat you know it wasn't exactly done in a subtle way
it was literally rammed down our throats and I didn't really appreciate that so
well there we go it is what it is. Anyway mate I've gotta get I gotta get going so
uh got uh got some videos to make for my YouTube channel and my Twitch channel in
fact so I gotta go and do that so yeah I'll talk to you again soon.
Alright see you later.
