Chat corner 47: The Last Jedi

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt is “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”, the second movie in the Sequel trilogy.

Just as with the first Sequel movie, I remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, so there’s some space left for people who enjoyed the film. If you did, the floor is yours ;)

Wow. It’s good that you try to keep things positive about that movie. Meanwhile I’m over here like, this is a mental gymnastics exercise to try to say anything without going LF Story Group/ RJ critical here.

When I initially watched the film, I was expecting the story to continue. Instead, I watched some edgy and weird art house film with Star Wars characters. I was absolutely perplexed to say the least.

When Luke threw Anakin’s lightsaber, I was like, something is wrong. And then it just went off the rails from there. I was completely taken out of the movie, out of the submersion, which was so unlike before.

(Lol one can argue the same with Thor Ragnarok, which came out the same year, given the creative freedom for the director contrasting the usual cookie cutter Marvel movies. However, Watiti is a better writer than RJ imo)
