The fragmentation of content across all of these platforms is starting to piss me off. By the end of this we will be paying more than the traditional model to see what you really want to see. Now I'm going to have DTV, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney.

But that's another thread.

People *****ing about the choice of a while male director, regardless of how good, proven, or qualified he is.

Let's hire a woman because she has a vagina.

Not to mention, the first woman who made the complaint, later said she's love to see Dave Filoni direct a Star Wars movie.

So, some white male directors are ok, I guess.

Phasma/Finn scene here.



Why TF was this deleted?

To make space for whiny Rose.

Still pissed that the big three somehow didn't have at least one scene together in the sequel trilogy...

Agree with that. That really should have happened. Wish it did.

That's alright, the new braintrust in charge at Lucasfilm plus Rian Johnson and Abrams knows better than you silly fans. There's a very valid and genius reason why we couldn't simply see the big 3 reunite at least once, you guys just aren't smart enough and enlightened enough to understand. We're much better off with the awesome new characters like Rose and Laura Dern's whatsherface character.

At least it happened on stage at Comic Con, one last time.

Should be, yeah. Don't know if it's Eastern or Pacific, though. I think Eastern? Either way, I'm waiting for the Blu-ray in two weeks.

Feel pretty bad I just noticed its available for digital pre-release and I don't even feel like watching it again.

that scene was just a bad as the rest of the movie.

bought the digital version of TFA and Rogue One as soon as they were released. I'm skipping this one.

That last tweet tells me a lot about him. It's painless, but kind of a pain.

This is really starting to get ridiculous. First of all, didn't Mark himself state that he fundamentally disagreed with how Luke was portrayed in this film? Wouldn't that trump any "mean tweet" any two bit critic or uber fanboy nerd could throw out there?

Then, look at his objectively. TFA was a decent but it's pretty much universally regarded as a New Hope v2/reboot, not very imaginative, and pretty much carried by an endearing return of Ford's Solo and a very likeable, very well received performance of Ridley's Rey. I think that is a fair assessment.

Put R1 to the side. It was a fantastic Star Wars movie but doesn't really factor in to the debate of the new trilogy.

So in the run up to the release of TLJ, the fan hype was much less as compared to the run up of TFA. Clearly. Then Disney makes a bold statement in basically giving Johnson the keys to the kingdom is announcing he will be in the drivers seat for the next trilogy. Fan hype increases. Initial critic review of TLJ is pretty solid across the board. Fan hype jumps to hyperspeed. The film in released and there is a collective sigh among both hard core fans and casual movie goers.

Yes, the fanboy uber nerds tweeted the F out of "what should have happened". I get it. But this is such a small portion of the overall audience. The fact is that the most movie goers found the TLJ to be entertaining, worth the price of admission, but just not that great. So sorry that multi-millionaires have to suffer the hyper-critical, Star Wars, nerd-a-thon, Twitter-verse. Boo hoo. TLJ was just not that good. Deal with it.

I feel like you're grossly overanalyzing what was probably meant to be a tongue in cheek tweet poking fun at fanboy culture.
