It worked pretty well for me because I left the theater really shocked. I'm on the side if I felt the emotions creators wanted me to feel, then they did a great job. That's why I like series and games that touch my feelings, in positive or negative ways 2) Disagree too, Luke last fight scene was fucking cool and badass, and his death was peaceful and warm, I liked his last dialogue with Leia too 3) I guess every new single addition in gaming is forced unless they are optional so you have a bad argument here. Your question about why changing the main character is also weird, why change anything? Sometimes creators wants to experiment a new story or concept, sometimes they want to please another audience, sometimes they are just sick tired of making the exact same shit over and over, there are many reasons to change. If anything I find more logical to change the main character in story driven games then keep the same characters over and over, rebooting their story and creating actual parallel dimensions. |
1) That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. I felt none such emotions aside from a facepalm and disappointment of one of SW's greatest ever characters dying without even a fight.
2) I agree that Luke's Jedi trick was awesome in its own right, however just like a trick, I felt empty and disappointed in Luke, considering the new trilogy made him out to be a coward and running away in fear considering he conquered fear in Return of the Jedi.. and then he dies without even actually fighting. We didn't get to see him be heroic in any form outside of a hologram. That might have pleased you however not for me.
3) Creators can change the main characters anytime they like, that is not the issue, like i said, i don't mind playing/watching new characters, however its how they are inserted into the IPs. If companies plan to make people full in love with characters than they should also be treated right when its time to move on. Imagine the next Batman movie, Batman dies in a Batmobile accident.. or Indiana Jones gets killed by Nazi's.. its way out of character. Let them die how they should die, not throw dirt at them and dispose of them like they are easy to replace. Han Solo would have died in a space battle or against impossible odds, not with something he would have expected coming.
That's the way i see current movies and games. Its all about pushing a narrative instead of trying to justify what made these characters we fell in love with in the first place matter. Some companies do it right and some do it horribly wrong.
