The Last Kino

This is legitimate starkino right here, pure fucking star wars kino through and through. How do you all miss the feel of this kino that much? Do you really want me to get into this motherfucking picture right here? Do you really want to know how Rian Johnson made this shit a space opera just like the prequels, empire strikes back and return of the jedi?

Do you honestly believe that what happened in the prequels wasn't something that is definitely a risk of happening all the time to Jedi an their apprentices? This is the brilliance of it the Sith and their rule of two guarantees they are cutthroat and always killing their masters, Kylo basically becomes something akin to if Anakin had slaughtered Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine and then went on his own way, with Padme (Rey) or not.

In the Return of the Jedi Yoda tells Luke the force is strong with his family and to pass on what he has learned, all Luke did was his wishes. And in the end fails like Anakin, yet he ultimately doesn't totally give up and he does regain his faith in the force.

This is pottery to the extremes and this is just a drop in the bucket. Luke's journey in the last Jedi is like his in empire strikes back in some ways yet he is ready for the final showdown and does not lose. He even does what he says to Rey in the beginning "did you think i was going to take on the entire first order with my laser sword". That exactly what he did, but he didn't do it physically he did it with the force and his insane force technique. He had the wisdom to know he couldn't physically take on anymore yet sacrifices himself in a way that is also paralleling Obi Wan Kenobi. The empire (first order) is stalled in their attempts to finish the rebellion off. This entry makes the sequel trilogy feel like a prequel trilogy with respect to Ben Solo. He is going to gradually become even worse and worse and more like Vader or even surpassing him. Luke completely fucks with him at the end here Kylo screams NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just like fucking Anakin does at the end of Revenge of the Sith. This is only going to fuel his dark side leanings even though he doesn't even want to be the Sith or for them to exist. The only thing left for Kylo is to become more machine than man.

It goes further, remember when Palpatine says to Anakin after he kills Dooku, "this wasn't the first time, remember what you told me about your mother and the sand people". Did Anakin tell him he saw visions of his mother dying before she did? Because he could have implanted the visions of seeing Padme dying in order to put fear into Anakin. In the last Jedi Snoke connects Kylo and Reys minds, but Kylo actually ends up using this to his advantage and makes Rey think that he is conflicted enough to be saved. He essentially baits her into turning herself in to him and Snoke, he knows from the moment that Snoke tells him to take his mask off, calls him a child and a failure for losing to an untrained girl and then shocks him that he is done with Snoke and sick of his shit. He wants Snoke dead and to be in charge. So after he has his first mindwarp with Rey he uses it to his advantage solely because he knows Snoke will want him to kill her, he projects to Snoke that he will indeed do his bidding and kill her, hiding his true intentions of wanting to kill Snoke and planning on it. This doesn't even go into the visuals of the film. The Force Awakens has nothing going on at all like this, it was just a fucking flick. Yet most people loved that.

YOU WILL NOT BURY MY THREAD

Luke and the almost Sidious murder of Kylo Ren is weak. It’s a cop-out in storytelling because they wanted Luke to want to murder Kylo but then not really want to murder Kylo. And it’s out of character for Luke to do that, since he saw the good in Darth Vader.

reported

THERE ARE SIX FILMS YOU FUCKING SOYGOY

He only thought about it you fuck

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched my kids sleep with a loaded gun drawn.

Rian Johnson is too good for this world. The sad thing is that Abrams will be praised for "saving" the series again. Normies and Star Wars fans deserve the shit they get.

That setting is real bad, it looks like a second rate Flash Gordon throne room.

To think scifi used to be fun.

So basically classic star wars?

Did you watch the film?

Is anyone else noticing they took Gollum as an inspiration for Snoke?
He says "raw" the exact same way.

user it's the same actor as gollum, that's why

dude subversion lmao

it isnt really

That set looks horrible. It's a bad redesign of the Death Star's throne room from Ep VI. The plain red background is ridiculous.

Snoke is essentially an asshole with a big ego so it fits

Also the red background is actually the ships bridge or window that becomes clear

it's like you wanna get robbed..

So, who and what the fuck was Snoke?

Counter copy paste.

The Last Jedi is the nihilistic evil that haunts the west made into a film.

It wants to criticize and deconstruct Star Wars but has neither the intelligence to offer substantial criticism or the inclination to build anything out of what it has deconstructed.

The film opens with a farce. This sets the tone and establishes that film does not in fact like Star Wars and actively wants to not take Star Wars seriously. Like many modern westerners the film and most of the people making it can not bring themselves to be truly invested in anything, even a simple story of good verses evil like Star Wars can only be enjoyed by these people through layers of ironic detachment. This is why the bad guys can't be threatening, someone might accidentally care about the plight of the heroes if they were.

Poor Mark Hamill is a dinosaur in that he actually cared about his character and Luke's story.

The film's themes continue this by being subversive for subversion's sake and like self haters in the west it confuses being critical with being intelligent. Every twist is an anti-twist regardless of whether is makes sense logically or thematically. The leader of the bad guys is no one. He's an incompetent shit who gets tricked and killed by his student easily. How did he create a pseudo-empire and subvert the happy ending of Return of the Jedi? Fuck knows but it's not what you expected and therefore it's clever.

The heroine is similarly no one, which I would have liked if they were capable of something beyond taking beats from the original films and using them wrong. Rey now has no stake personal stake in the conflict beyond what Luke had at the end of New Hope, the bad guy killed their mentor figure and they've ended up friends with people involved with the good guys. And this is where they fuck up. She has the role of Luke wanting to redeem the fallen Jedi, but all she has known of Kylo Ren is that he killed his own father and she has absolutely no real connection to him like Luke had to Vader. Luke refused to believe that his father was truly pure evil despite everyone else telling him that he was lost, and was able to redeem his by being unable to kill his own father when he had the chance. Now Luke believes that Kylo is beyond redemption despite being his relative and knowing that the event that set him firmly on the path to the dark side was a misunderstanding.

The handling of Luke and the Jedi is similarly hollow criticism. Luke tells Rey that the Jedi "have to end" but offers no real reason why, no unfixable flaw in the Jedi philosophy, he merely presents a single time that the Jedi failed, in preventing the rise of the Emperor in the first place. Again the film desperately wants to be a clever and cynical look at the idea of the Jedi but is not smart enough to come up with more than nonsense. The premise is faulty, no one would say that "it's time for detectives to end" because Jack the Ripper was never identified, and the substance only works by lying via omission. The Jedi failed to stop the rise of Darth Sidious as Luke says, as of the prequels they were the only ones who tried and Sidious obviously through they were enough of a problem for him that he did try to wipe them out. More damningly it was Luke himself reviving the Jedi that ultimately defeated him!

Every single time someone makes a heroic sacrifice it deals a blow to the First Order; Rose's sister's bombing of the Dreadnaught, Admiral Tumblr's setting breaking FTL kamikaze run, to Luke himself allowing what's left of the resistance to escape. Yet in its quest to destroy it eats itself. When Finn wants to make a heroic sacrifice he is prevented by Rose, who gives him a speech about the futility of self sacrifice. Once again there is no actual evidence for argument for why, and from the list you can see that it actually runs contrary to the film itself. The sacrifice of Luke even taking place immediately after her speech.

The entire adventure of Finn and Rose that failed, again the heroes failing isn't clever on its own you have to actually construct something good out of it like Empire Strikes Back, accomplished nothing expect apparently teaching Poe to not be a hothead. But in the film's confused themes not being a hothead translates into blindly accepting authority. The leadership of the resistance, Leia, scolds him for being impulsive. When authority falls to Vice Admiral Holdo, who is a new character and so has never been proven to be a worthy heroic leader, she continues to scold him for being impulsive, she refuses to provide an alternative to his impulsiveness. She has an alternative but rather than offering it she instead expects blind obedience and submission to her authority. Thinking about it this might actually be the only theme that makes sense. Poe is told not to act and was supposed to accept that even though from all the evidence he had not acting was the wrong thing to do, much like the audience is told things and is supposed to accept them despite the reality presented in the film suggesting otherwise. Perhaps the irony of blindly accepting what your leaders tell you being the correct solution to defeating the fascistic evil empire was intended. Though it was so contrived that it only works if you blindly accept what the film makers put in front of you.

The reason critics like this, beyond event invites and cheques from Disney, is that the western media is in the grip of an insane death cult the revels is destruction. Seeing the heroic myth of Star Wars getting clumsily taken apart is what they enjoy, like they seeing the foundation myths of the west being dismantled and replaced with nihilism. They don't want to see genuine goodness triumph over genuine evil because their minds are too clouded to be able to comprehend good and evil anymore. The heroes should accomplish nothing and the villains should be the butt of the joke because the west no longer believes in heroes and villains.
