I Felt Sympathy For Anakin But He Still Needed To Die. The Problem Is Why Should I Feel Empathy For Kylo

TLJ SPOILERS

Oh god if the latest spoilers are true. I am beyond disgusted. I simply do not see how RJ got a trilogy off this shit. Well I do KK only ever gave a fuck about Kylo Ren and Adam Driver. So Fuck Feminism and Fuck Diversity.

The Latest and Greatest Hits

1) Luke sees the Darkness in Kylo caused by Snoke and tries to kill him with a lightsaber. Luke Skywalker the man who tried to save his father. Who threw down his own lightsaber to try to save his Evil Father from the Dark Side rather then strike him down. Decides to attempt to murder a defenseless child to save the Galaxy. How the fuck is this not character assassination of the highest order? No wonder Mark hated shit. George Lucas should sue.

2) Shirtless Kylo scene where Rey blushes and tells Kylo to put his shirt on you heard that right the supposed main lead and heroine getting wet over then man who killed her supposed Mentor/his father, maimed her best friend, tried to break into her mind and tossed her into a tree along with being a high ranking fascist regime member who aided genocide and civilian slaughter....this is truly a nightmare and a Reylo and Alt Righters wet dream.

Beyond Disgusting if True.

God They All Tried To Warn Us....LoL now we know the signs people so if we get more of this for IX we know what is coming

Yeah its gonna be great.

Whoever already read Children's Crusade #9, spoil me.

I mean it!!! My askbox is opened and I won’t spoil anyone else, I just really need to know what happens. PLEASEEEEE!

Eh I have read before that Oscar really doesnt like promoting movies he doesnt have a major role in so I hope most of his stuff didnt end up on the cutting room floor although he is also a pretty busy actor...but my mind of late when it comes to TLJ jumps to the negative answer

Yeah it was bad in TFA but this is worst not just because now they should know it was bad idea but also cause were once again lied to do about Finn with the dynamic described to us in marketing not existing in the actual movie. Beyond that also at least you can make the case Rey had a reason to attack Finn, Rose has no such Reason and Rose goes a step further by shocking Finn until he falls Unconscious after just getting off the medical bay. The fact that it will be played for laughs makes my blood boil. 

I keep thinking about how we were given the impression that Finn and Rose’s story would be a cool team up and that Rose would think he’s a Big Deal, but the storybook leaks basically give us a completely different dynamic, one where Rose drags an unwilling Finn around by the collar and scolds him for even trying to leave, and keeps him from leaving by force, and I hate that. I really hate that. It’s like the weak and questionable parts of Finn and Rey’s interaction before Harrison got injured and JJ reshot some stuff and changed their dynamic going forward because the antagonistic stuff wasn’t working. So why copypaste that bad dynamic that JJ already famously decided needed to be fixed? Actually make it worse? Bleh.

Don't get me wrong I didn't like the Rey Attack either I am just saying you can squint and explain where there is nothing that mitigates this one at all in my book. Yeah Finn’s backstory in no way calls for Comic Relief in my book. If they wanted this they never should have used Child Soldier background.

Basically it just feels because RJ was willing to dickride Kylo Ren and Adam Driver so hard who we know KK loves since Adam didn't even have to audition. RJ got himself Carte Blanche to do whatever he want. I mean JJ is the one who wanted John (and his execution was poor), KK never wanted John at all. So I am not all surprised and what is going down for FInn. Although I should note this is the fucking opposite of how they sold us Finn and Rose in the lead up. Where Rose was a big Fan  of Finn. Instead it seems will get another does of a Female Partner outshining Finn until Phasma. 

What does surprise me though is KK letting RJ making massive lore changes and retcons to the Force that override fucking George Lucas in the Luke Skywalker part of the plot. That is what surprises me. I knew it was bad sign when RJ got along with KK so well unlike all the other directors and got a new trilogy.

But apparently RJ is genius for Woobyifying another “Bad Boy“ White Male while marginalizing the POC to forgettable plot line and comic relief. Its not like we never seen this shit before. I get enough of the kid glove treatment for white monsters in the news thank you very much.

This doesn’t even make any sense story wise. Every Resistance member knows that Finn risked his life to stop Starkiller Base. Rose suddenly being “what, a traitor” makes zero fucking sense. If Finn wanted to betray the Resistance he would have done nothing and just let the FO blow them out of the sky.

Rian Johnson is willfully stupid when it comes to any of the characters of color but especially to Finn. Of course it makes no sense! But of course he doesn’t care because he’s too busy using his 2 brain cells on creating a fascist-loving white story for his lily white actors! It makes no sense because he doesn’t give a fuck about Finn.

Driver has done less for TLJ then Rose. Harrison Ford who is a rich legit movie star who hates promotion does more work then Driver on promoting Star Wars. Driver really doesn't carry his weight but KK and RJ love him and the fans will apologize for any “pretty white boy” so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway saw the trailer I was right. 

seguun replied to your post “So you ready for the storm to come with the trailer?”

Yes all the marketing so far does suggest that the B-Plot is for POC and insignificant compared to the White Characters and the Force A-Plot. But KK is a Saint and a Champion of Diversity….SMFH. They love Kylo so much then make Driver get his lazy ass out there and promote Star Wars half as much as Boyega does.

I actually saw some Reylo saying that Driver had the “same deal” as Harrison Ford re: promotion. I’m sorry, Harrison was on every ABC show except The Chew (which he should have been on) and every other talk show going not only for the movie but for the damn DVD release. “Same deal”? Not so much.

John Boyega has been to EVERYTHING, been charming and funny - and his reward is that poster? 2 seconds in the trailer? 

Star Wars SDCC Reaction I am going to go line by line down the defense of this artist and shred him. First, I find it hilarious he thinks the prominence of women, white women needs to be increased but sees no need for POC representation despite acknowledging it lacking in his opening I am not a racist defense. Second, I thought the main point about Rey was she is a random untied to the Skywalker Baggage. Yet the point of this poster is Skywalkers and yet Rey is not a Skywalker and to hear Reylos tell it that is a great thing. Third, I don’t know if he or the art company are racist. I think its pretty hard to argue though that given the treatment the POC have gotten under LF with KK in charge that she is not racist. George Lucas got raked over the coals for racist aliens (fairly if you ask me) that were based on stuff you see an Old Flash Gordon Serials. But at least he had the decency to make them non human looking Aliens doing the physical comic relief. Lando ran city in the 80s was the coolest cat around and took out the 2nd Death Star. Mace Windu was the 2nd highest position in the Jedi Order and took Darth Sidious the distance. Finn cannot beat TR-8R in a duel, first lead to every lose one on one to a nameless stromtrooper throughout history in all Star Wars media. You never saw Mace or Lando drinking from troughs with animals or walking around leaking water from their suits like a damn minstrel show. And George never baited and switched on a marketing campaign, Mace was shown with a lightsaber and was a Jedi unlike Finn. Poe at least got to take down Star Killer Base but boy was the TLJ a letdown as he trades lives without care and suddenly has a problem with female leadership. Lets get into character choice. PT: Palpatine is the main villain thus he should be up top to go with the other main villains. Qui-Gon had like no impact on Anakin, since he basically instantly died before he could really impact Anakin. If its about mentors then it should be Yoda here or Mace. Both had way larger impacts on Anakin falling then Qui-Gon. But mostly it should be fixed in keeping with the character limit by moving Palpatine up top and moving Anakin down to replace Qui-Gon. Also the theme is suppose to be one character  per movie so even if I buy these characters choices Qui-Gon should be on the left, Kenobi center, and Padme right. But that doens’t work because and this will come up again who thinks Padme’s best stuff was in III? If it has to be these three characters then it should be Qui-Gon, Padme then Kenobi. Qui-Gon cause he dies in this in I so he has to be there. Padme eh it does have most of the senate stuff and you know she isn’t pathetically dying or enabling Anakin. Kenobi he duels Anakin on Mustafar. Under my system keeping the character limit Padme keeps the middle, Kenobi goes to the left for dueling Maul. Anakin goes to the right for obvious reasons. R2-D2 stays and Palpatine is up top with the Villains. OT: Seems fine really, I mean you could make the case for C-3PO to fit the droid theme. But Yoda does have to go somewhere. The rest are obvious although funny how when they are white the heroic trio all shows up. Although there is a reocurring issue why would anyone pick Episode VI for Han Solo? No Star Wars fan thinks Han got his best material in that movie, heck even Ford doesn’t think that. Honestly, Luke can be any of the movies. Han should definitely be IV or V and Leia should be IV or VI. Seems like these choices were only made to make Leia the center. But even then you put Han on the Left and Luke on the Right. But if it was me, Han is on the left his best stuff is in this movie like the iconic Han shot first. Luke is V this is after all the movie with a certain I am your father scene. Leia in VI this is one where she chokes out Jabba and you know the Resistance finally wins. ST: Luke and Leia mentors. I mean Leia at least mentors Poe mostly offscreen but Han is far more Rey’s mentor then Luke. Luke didn’t teach Rey anything. Not to mention if the goal is representing each movie in the series well Luke and Leia are already doing that for IV and V. No one else is double dipping. Also why is Leia the furthest representing the last movie in IX. I mean I doubt he started before Carrie Fisher sadly passed but Leia is not representing IX that is for sure. Honestly, I do Finn, Poe and Rey left to right since Poe was more plot relevant then Finn in TLJ while Finn was moreso in TFA and Rey can go anywhereas the main lead who again is not a Skywalker. But its not the artist fault that its called the Skywalker Sage when Rey is a Random. After all we all know KK and RJ think Kylo Ren is the main lead and protag anyway.  He certainly drives the plot more then Rey.

Children Crusade 9

Indeed Spoilers would be nice. Cannot wait to read. I am especially interested in what the team looks like.
