RE: The Last Jed, I Am Not

in #star-wars7 years ago

the red letter media thing I was referring to is called something like "half in the bag" and it's just a recap of their thoughts after watching the movie, not the full blown "plinkett review" like the others. But I still enjoyed watching it and their thoughts on TLJ were pretty much mine exactly.

I also thought Rose was there only for the purpose of an Asian being in the film lol, that being said, I'm not against that obviously - I don't care what ethnicity Rose was - the character itself was just boring!

I actually have no hype at all for the Solo movie, i mean of course I'm going to go see it; but my expectations are so low that maybe I will end up loving it!

Sort:  

I watched it and forgot to tell you haha! The guy voicing the drunk recap looks exactly how I pictured him. It was great, they didn't have an ounce of pandering in them. I really felt like all their thoughts were genuine instead of trying to cater to a side.

Now that I had days to ponder about it, I feel like Rose's sister was a far more compelling character. That is, if you don't think about how the bombs manage to drop without gravity hahaha!

Maybe that was their strategy? Just like how Wonder Woman was set up. Set the expectations low and then deliver a good movie that would be seen as great haha!

I am definitely looking forward to a Plinkett review of Ep 8, assuming they do it, which I think they will. I just think it would have made so much sense to kill Rose off at the end to "join" her sister - and I thought that is what they were leading up to. oh well! I can't wait for this to come out on blu-ray and the fan edits to start coming out that cut out all the useless scenes (basically the entire rose arc)
