I have so many complaints about that movie but THIS is number one. The entire thing is a complete waste of time, all set about because Poe got turned into an insubordinate, hotheaded moron. Doesn’t help that Holdo has a perfectly functional plan she won’t share with anyone instead preferring to let them believe they’re all going to die, but frankly the movie is just a series of stupid, terrible decisions in a row from every character and above all, the director.

Can you tell I hate this movie?

If I had the chance to make edits to the script, I'd have done the following:

• Replace the animals in the racing with podracers
• Have the hacker guy drop the dreadnought's shields for a moment to permit the Holdo manoeuvre

The podracer stuff is basically just fanservice, but it's very minor and not adding any more distractions than were already there, so I think that's fine

The hacker does have a motivation to ensure the empire doesn't get a clean win. He profits from the war. He wants both sides to struggle. Doing this just as he leaves gives him an actual role beyond betraying Finn and Rose, makes sense for his motivations, and also explains why hyperspeed ramming doesn't usually work in Star Wars

More precisely: Anything in The Last Jedi

Just rewarched on a TV in a background and it's so bad. I thought maybe given some time it would clear up a bit as GOT hype died down but it's just awful, can't believe the actors managed to keep a straight face.

Last Jedi

That's cheating, none of that movie made any sense whatsoever.

The plot point is that you cannot be tracked while in hyperspace. Something the first order was able to do so they could follow them to their destination instead of waiting until they are out of hyperspace to pursue them.Trackers are well established in the universe otherwise. They just only work outside of hyperspace.

Last Jedi was so angering that it killed all desire I had for watching rise of Skywalker, rise was the only star wars movie I've ever skipped, and still haven't watched.

When instead of sacrificing ackbar, they kill him in the background and we're supposed to care about the sacrifice of this random purple haired woman we've never ever met before and just shows up to die? Should have been ackbar or Leia or even wedge. And one thing I liked about TFA was the budding relationship between Rey and Finn, they had great chemistry. Then suddenly you separate them for the whole second movie, add a second love interest that's awful and for some reason Rey likes Kylo? The fuck??

I think one of the theories is that Hank doesn't actually know how Pym particles work and it's basically magic. Because if you watch it keeping weight in mind none of it makes sense.

"Hey, alien planet we've never been on before. Let's take our helmets off."

"Hey our map guy got LOST inside an underground tunnel and tried to pet an alien snake and now he's infected."

"This medical machine is configured for men. Caesarian mode is on the left."

I call the movie Fuckwits In Space for these and many more reasons.

I will never stop calling any scene where an object is moving towards people and they run directly away from it while it's gaining on them as "the Prometheus school of running away." This was only slightly less stupid than trying to outrun a train...on the tracks.

In the original script, they were used for processing power, but the C-suites made them change it because they feared spectators wouldn't understand.

Originally it was humans being used for their brains as processing units, but they thought thatd be too confusing for audiences so they went with batteries.

In the same vein, in looper where they start crippling the past version of a person and the future one who is running away from something gets starts stumbling more and more until he can't walk, but the first few hundred meters he still made somehow.

Abed:
It's the first season of Lost on DVD.

Pierce:
That's the meaning of Christmas?

Abed:
No. It's a metaphor. It represents lack of pay-off.

[...]

Abed:
I get it. The meaning of Christmas is the idea that Christmas has meaning. And it can be whatever we want. For me, it used to mean being with my mom. Now it means being with you guys. Thanks, Lost.

Maybe not for the plot (since it's never referenced or brought up ever again in the film) but I think it does work thematically:

This would be the one real miraculous event in Brian's life. If anything, you would expect that a man who fell from a tower, got picked up by a flaming ball, and returned safely to the ground would be hailed as a holy person by all witnesses.

Instead, nobody gives a fuck and in the next couple of scenes Brian becomes a holy figure through entirely unrelated and mundane means.
