| Goodnightmoon said: If you overanalize the old movies to death you will find tons of plot holes and little things that doesn't make sense, but why would anyone do that to beggin with? They are great movies anyways. Of course nobody does that cause the old trilogy is sacred an untouchable but the new ones, that have no nostalgia attached and are made by Disney, need to be destroyed because reasons. Star wars is a a saga full of fantasy and unexplicable things that puts the enjoyment and the cinematographic experience above the writting, and this has always been like this, from the first one, they were initially made for 12 year old kids, they never pretended to be the fucking Goodfather, why does people now take them as they were the most serious movies ever or some kind of high literature? |
The key word being overanalyze. Any movie can be overanalyzed to find some plot holes that aren't the most obvious. However, TLJ's faults are all right there in front of you. It doesn't take much thought to realize not only the many holes, but also the countless letdowns. This is how the most famous scene in ESB would have played out in this film.
Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you the truth about your father.
Luke: He told me you killed him.
Darth Vader: (close up reaction shot) Oh, I guess he did then.
Hope audience laughs. Next shot is a close up of a Porg.
And it's true that Star Wars isn't the most thought provoking series. But, and this is a freaking HUGE but, it is also not a Micheal Bay Transformer film where you should turn your brain off and just enjoy all the pretty images and big booms, with it's messages written so poorly, on the nose, and dumbed down to appeal to kids. If that's what you want from your SW movies, then I guess continue enjoying this film. For the fans that demand a little more from our SW movies, we'll just stay away and watch the box office drop dramatically.
