Uncle Wemus posted:I'm ready for a fresh round of webcomic hot takes on star wars I don't think that comic is wrong per se but the idea that Disney is disdainful of toxic fans doesn't really hold up given the trajectory of the films or actions by the studio. At the end of the day Disney was happy to give them what they wanted if it meant more money. Edit: Beaten by seconds.

Honestly now that the book is written Ben Solo is the only vaguely interesting character in the movies, possibly because he's the only one with an arc.

Necrothatcher posted:Disney, despite having infinite financial resources, couldn't make even a vaguely coherent movie trilogy. Something's hosed. Here's what I don't get: You're a soulless corporation only interested in money (but I repeat myself). You want a crowd-pleasing trilogy to make you all the money. First movie: hire a guy who did a slick reboot of Star Trek that made lots of money, a guy who takes good ensembles and plays to the actors strengths, who can give you a good looking movie and handle action and comedy OK. It's going to be shallow but you don't give a poo poo about that because he can milk nostalgia and OT cameos without derailing the introduction of the new actors and deliver a blockbuster. Plus everybody likes working with him and it's a painless, low-drama scene. Movie sets the table for sequels, makes a trillion dollars, so far so good. Artistically it's meh but who cares, you're a corporate greed freak, remember? Next step: give the second movie to someone who wants to deliberately gently caress with the audience as much as possible and poo poo on Star Wars precedent at every turn, with apparently no oversight and infinite money. This is not a BAD thing in principle, it's certainly less boring than just making a generic Star Wars nostalgia recycling thing, but it makes absolutely no loving sense from a soulless corporate product perspective. Shockingly it alienates a bunch of the audience and makes less money, the one thing that's not acceptable. So now the gently caress what? You bring back in JJ, but all the poo poo he set up was poo poo-canned in the last movie. Maybe those ideas were lame, fine, but the closest thing there was to a plan has been set on fire and nobody knows what the gently caress. The one smart thing would be to push everything off and really start over but instead they just stuck to the timetable and I guess the result was a hot mess.

I'm not sure if the contention that last Jedi "alienating," people caused it to "make less money," or your characterization of the bullshit JJ threw against the wall without even caring what would stick as a "plan," is more funny.

I don’t think Disney put much more thought into it than “Johnson made some successful sci-fi films but not so successful we have to pay him a bajillion, get him in here.” It’s probably the exact same logic they used to tap Whedon for Avengers.

I still think TLJ is okay as its own movie and I like some of the directions it tried to go in, but yeah - whose loving idea was it to just let ~whatever~ happen for the second movie????? TLJ aside (and I have warmed to that movie somewhat post-TROS), that is hilariously lovely planning. Not that I’m broken up about a corporation losing money and face.

I wrote that from the corporate garbageman POV. The same guys who were mad Batman V Superman only made huge instead of super huge money and were stunned that their weird nerd auteur director didn't give them a generic Marvel movie with different outfits.

Yes. Its the loving fans fault the movie turned out poo poo. The fans control what disney does, of course! I knew they would pull some poo poo like this. It’s all rear end-covering propaganda.

Just saw this. This in my opinion might be the worst Star Wars film yet, including Solo. It completely lacks focus, plot is all over the place, the leaks seemed accurate. Deus ex machina all over the place. I'm still for glad I saw it. Don't know if it was viable to salvage the trilogy given there was no overarching plan whatever or it was abandoned in ep8. I did get chills from the ruins of the death star throne room though. The ridiculously sized fleets on both sides somehow peeved me the most. I'm not honestly angry because I had such low expectations coming to the film.

Abrams came in late and had very little time to write a script, as Disney for baffling reasons refused to move the deadline much. It's hard for me to be too upset at him.
