Too Long, Didn't Read at 1:22 AM.
-
A crowdfunded project big enough to get Mark Hamill onboard and back behind a Starfighter stick.
-
TL,DR.
-
Also, they're short one Carrie Fischer.
-
They're not Star Citizen.
-
The political issues with TLJ go partly from Johnson but partly from Kathleen Kennedy herself. The latter is rumoured to have a gender chip on her shoulder. And there're whispers Disney is already preparing for the Solo movie to bomb following a massive reshoot effort.

Han shot first.
-
You've asked ten times, and nobody responded. Can't you take a hint?
-
Well, there was effort, but she's put an completely unfamiliar spacecraft model, which, under the hood, was nothing like a stock YT-1300, and made it do things that it shouldn't have. That was some preternatural flying from a first-timer.
-
Actually, don't forget that he's been prevented from making a heroic sacrifice.
-
Decided to get captured by Snoke because reasons. Which is a very Mary Sue kind of risk.
-
Hold on. Finn is kinda sympathetic. He just ants to get out of this mess, and has no idea what's happening. Also, don't forget the one true hero. https://youtu.be/uAtLV26wnCE?t=6

Well, technically she did, but she promptly wiggled her way out with very little effort. Treating an existing setting as an amusement park ride is what characterizes the backyard-variety Mary Sue.

But between Rey's tinkering with a scavenged X-Wing sim, and Luke's live-fire exploits on a T-16, a supersonic suborbital craft, which one of them is at least a pilot?

And very overtly upstaging Han. If someone was ripping things off of my favourite ship, she'd end up in the escape pod quite quickly, regardless of her merits. The TFA Han is mellowed out as all heck.
-
Thinking about it... has she ever even encountered a starship that wasn't wrecked? Is that why she gives the Falcon more bumps than she's had in twenty years?
-
At this point it's not an agenda. It's the only way to not get raked over the coals by a vocal minority.
-
Counterargument: she beats Luke Skywalker. No bowcaster involved.
-
It wasn't exactly great, but it was quality and universal thanks to doing the good old monomyth to a T. TFA is an inferior emulation, while R1 and TLJ... simply suck on that front. In case with TLJ, possibly deliberately.
-
That's not exactly the consensus. With Disney taking over and before that the prequels, it's clear that SW isn't marketed at the GoT age bracket. The shift seems misplaces - which is why Rogue One seemed to probe those grounds so awkwardly. I'm not sure who said it, "They tried to set a WWII-esque movie in a franchise that gave us Jar-Jar". And ultimately, it decided to opt for loads of fanservice, little of worthwhile substance, and a dull colour palette.
-
Disproportional power, disproportional prominence. I simply don't see it. The baddies are more stereotypically, over-the-top, inexplicably evil than ever; the good guys are impractically, suicidally holier-than-thou. Capes are cheap in SW. But a bаstаrdization of classic SW. If you want a setting with widely available superpowers, build your own, with blackjack and things that are not to be mentioned in this auto-censored forum.
-
Sounds like money and time better spent on a certain recent Harrison Ford movie.
-
Counterexample: Grievous received a transfusion of blood of a freshly killed Jedi Master, midichlorians and all, to absolutely no effect. Nor is that entirely genetics, as attempts to clone and even mass-produce Force-sensitive individuals have been fraught with effects ranging from lackluster to horrific. Space magic.
