No. TLJ only got divisive when the general public started seeing itlol these early impressions are crazy.

Have you seen how the press junkets talk about TLJ like it's the black sheep of the series. This movie is made for TLJ detractors.
Whatever. Crying for an entire half of a movie is over the top.
Oh boy, 3 replies already. It's OK to have different opinions guys. I have no intention to try changing yours. Let's just say that I expected more from Luke after he learnt that Han Solo was killed and that Kylo and the Order were wrecking Leia and the Resistance. Again, let's agree to disagree
It's not like I expected anything less from Abrams. You can make a movie with plenty of fanservice like Endgame did without blatant pandering and trying to earn brownie points with the fanbase.
TFA was bad enough as it was with that.
Everyone thinks they are so god damn clever. The Game of Thrones one is especially eye roll inducing.Y'all. Most of these tweets are absolutely awful. Both the positive and negative ones.
If that is your number one concern with a character, sure.But the mask makes him look and sound more menacing, not to mention look cool too.
Passion about as real as those tears. common.Yeah get the fuck out of here for having passion for something.

I love Endgame specifically because of those things.I love Endgame but are you actually insane. It was 3 hours of blatant pandering and trying to earn brownie points with the fanbase.
If this reviews anywhere nearly as bad as JL, there's going to be a bloodbath at Lucasfilm. No way in hell does it review that bad though.There only time before I have ever seen twitter previews for a big live action blockbuster film this mixed instead of nigh-unanimous praise was for Justice League...
This is kind of what I'm afraid of.

something tells me twitter is not the ideal vehicle for thoughtful film criticism.Y'all. Most of these tweets are absolutely awful. Both the positive and negative ones.
Ironically enough, your post is exactly the first lesson Luke was trying to teach Rey. The Force doesn't belong to the Jedi. Having a connection to the Force isn't the sole purview of the Jedi.
Even Yoda says this in Empire, and Obi-Wan in A New Hope. The Force resides in all matter, and in between all matter. And some people have an affinity for accessing it compared to others. The Jedi were specifically looking for people that showed a high affinity for connecting with the Force.
Han doesn't connect with the Force not because he can't, but because he has no interest or desire to try. Luke fails to lift his X-Wing out of the swamp, not because he can't, but because he doesn't think he can do it. So no, Han couldn't have become a Jedi specifically, but he's still a part of the Force, and possibly had Force potential if he was open enough to tap into it and let it flow through him.
Being a Jedi or Sith isn't the sole purpose of the Force. What Luke was teaching Rey (and the audience, who also share her misunderstanding that only Jedi and Sith can wield the Force), is the Force is more than just the Jedi, Sith, and lifting rocks. Though Rian humorously has her lifting a shit ton of rocks at the end of the film, which I loved.
Luke wanted to end the Jedi because people's insistence that the Jedi way was the only way to resolve conflict or to engage with the Force is flawed. In a way, it parallels modern religious conflict. I was raised Christian, but it's foolish to think that it is the only path in life, or the only ethic standard by which people should live their lives and find meaning and purpose, and that those that either follow a different faith, or don't believe in any faith at all are wrong or bad people.
Luke did come to realize that the people's adulation of the Jedi and the idea of the Jedi could prove useful in galvanizing them to reach into themselves and find the strength to fight against the totalitarianism of the First Order in their own way. Much like Poe coming to realize that hopping in a ship and blowing things up isn't the only way to be a "hero," or to lead and inspire people.
You don't have to be a Jedi to access the Force. The Force is in everything. It belongs to everyone. Much like Star Wars.
Jesus. It kinda feels like the people with the most glowing reactions posted them right after leaving the theatre and everyone else just marinaded their thoughts overnight. I know I hate JJ Abrams but some of these takes are brutal to read.
Never? Pretty sure Star Wars is an established part of pop culture regardless of what Disney does going froward. There's a reason the series is referenced and parodied even after all this time.I'm curious when Star Wars is going to go the Buck Rogers / Flash Gordon serial route and fade from the public consciousness. Maybe Marvel is quickening that fate.
That's like the nicest response I've ever gotten in a Star Wars thread! Thanks. I didn't consider the fact that he broke up with Leia even though they seemed still fond of each other in TFA. Interesting perspective thoughI just re-watched TLJ last night and I can't remember if he addressed Han dying, but it's likely that decades without contact and Han also breaking up(?) with his sister didn't do wonders for their friendship, and he does some pretty significant things in the second half of the movie for his sister, who I assume he trusts to keep herself safe with The Force up until the last moment.
Not trying to change your mind or come for you, just giving my perspective here.
I have a lot of qualms with TLJ and a swashbuckling, heroic Luke might have been cool, but ultimately it would have felt creatively cheaper than what we did get.

Like all JJ Abrams movies, this is absolutely going to be a film where many people leave the theater with a big grin and only a couple hours later start to go "Wait......what?!"

In The Mood for Love, it's undying impact.This is just an observation:
So, is using food analogies when talking about a movie a thing now?
If by now you mean the last 70+ years of movie reviews then sure. People have always compared movies to a meal of just dessert with no veggies, it being under baked, too many cooks ect. This is nothing new.This is just an observation:

I'm a massive MCU fan, I love Endgame, but literally what. That's exactly what Endgame was.You can make a movie with plenty of fanservice like Endgame did without blatant pandering and trying to earn brownie points with the fanbase.
