The one thing that hasn’t changed about him is his love for Rey – that’s all that drives him.

Hate it or love it but one thing is now once and for all debunked: That their major bond from TFA will be ignored in TLJ.

I am so confused with the latest comments from RJ and JB...I haven't read anyone else but its like everyone is singing a totally different tune after the premier then from before. Before RJ couldn't stop making excuses for Kylo, now he is saying the opposite. Its like Professor X mindcontrolled everyone. I can understand John changing his tune now that he has seen the final cut but RJ is just weird. I am not going to hope.
I am not sure but I am sure Emilia Clarke will be far more important then she has any right to be....by butting into Han and Lando and Han and Chewie...We dont need her but KK.
Solo is set for release in May. Which means Disney’s latest two Star Wars films will be just six months apart, further exhausting the brand to the point where there will soon be nothing special about anything “Star Wars” that they dump into theaters.
Movies like this one are exciting because they give Disney/Lucasfilm/Knnedy the chance to destroy Star Wars’ past the same way they already destroyed Star Wars’ future!
Man, I can’t wait to see if they can retroactively wreck Han Solo’s entire character in his younger years.
I brought it up for TFA but its funny when we get the first Black Male Lead in Star Wars suddenly the standard rules for how you treat a male lead no longer apply. I mean Finn is similar to Luke ignoring (Luke being the overall main lead and having the Force) difference is Luke never got beat up by his friends and while he did have some embarrassing stuff happen to him he still got to end ANH strong. Landing the final shots on the Deathstar. Finn meanwhile ends in a coma at RJ request and lost every fight including one to a stomtrooper (a first in Star Wars) and to Rey of course despite being top of his class in tie ins in comabt.
He then enters TLJ and opens worrying about Rey (who is making googly eyes at Kylo if the rumors are too be trusted) and getting tazered by Rose. Before getting demoted to the B-Plot which incidentally includes all the POC with no Force Powers in Finn, Poe, Rose, DJ and Paige Tico with less screen time then Kylo. And apparently the B-Plot wasn't all that interesting since everyone is gushing about Kylo, Luke and Rey. I mean sure it looks like he beats Phasma but there was no development between Finn and Phasma in TFA...there was between Finn and Kylo but does anyone really thing FInn will even the socre against Kylo like a real Male Lead? I dont.
Absolutely sickening this window dressing Diversity and the wide scale acceptance of it in the fandom and the press. Disney is lucky Black Panther is coming so soon or I be boycotting their products.
In none of the other 8 Star Wars films were any of the villains given more screentime and importance than the heroes, in none. Not even Darth Vader. So I am sorry, but I am going to call bullshit that when two of the three major heroes are men of color, suddenly the only other young-ish white dude who happens to be the villain needs to have more screentime than the actual male hero.
And before any of you Kyle fans comes at me “but he is the Skywalker of the trilogy!!!”, first of all, there are two other Skywalkers actually in the good side. Half of you are the same people who bend backwards saying how Rey should be a random because the trilogy doesn’t have to focus on a Skywalker.
But then suddenly it needs to focus on Kylo because he is one?
Yeah, you can’t have it both fucking ways.
Got to love RJ we meet three orphans being exploited in Canto Bight with similar backstories to Finn want to guess who RJ decides to give the Force out of a White Girl, A White Boy and A Black Boy? The white boy of course as one last fuck you to Finn Fans. Good Old Broom Boy gets the Force but not a fucking lead nah Finn doesn't get shit. Some minor insignificant character is gets to move a broom with no training so really RJ gives Finn fans absolutely nothing of they want and rubs their faces in the dirt about it.
RJ: KEEP THE FORCE WHITE
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.
Well you see that be in character and this movie was all about making Luke look bad so Kylo could look good. But that begs question what was the explanation for how Luke couldn't sense Han Dying or an entire Solar System disappearing while hiding in a Force Nexus?
To be honest, the minute Luke learned that Kylo Ren killed Han Solo, he should have geared up and trained Rey and gotten to the Resistance pronto. The minute.
I agree with you if we are talking about the fandom specifically yes they should no better but I think its quite clear that the books, comicbooks, and videogames dont matter at all.
can ppl like you stop acting like finn was just a janitor he literally wasn’t he was top of his class and well on his way to be an officer and only worked on sanitation bc that was part of his rotational as a cadet (like every cadet did it) so ofc he would be great at combat bc he was again top of his class
We gave them chance with TFA...RJ and KK decided to square the racism.
me: i hate tlj
whites: why
me: it’s so racist
whites: yea you havent seen it so why do you hate it
as if racism is not a good enough reason to hate something lmao???????
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.
Hulking and Wiccan were pretty good.
Hardly a new team we were promised its the same team minus half the members. Now I suppose knowing marvel. Spider-girl, Power Man, Thundestrike and Lyra would be the most likely members. Given the theme.
SPOILERS
Really Heinberg, Patriot quit again. First Drugs now this. Seriously talk about character destruction. Just what we need more of black males quitting.
Still not happy about Eli, this maxi series did not do one positive thing for the character at all. It would have been better if he did nothing which is pretty much what Hulking did. I think he was right too on repowering. U cannot simply randomly give mutants their powers back. First, Some might not want it back so its Wanda playing God again. Second, u got to figure lets say 100 out of ever Million are a cyclops random repowering causes widespread destruction.
Plus the difference is Teferi seems like the main character or at least main non gatewatch character. He has got the packs, the big poster and the planeswalker deck. He has gotten resparked, the Weatherlight is owned by Tolaria, and he has got the family now? That is alot of ground to cover in Dominaria as opposed to Chandra who is only tied to Jaya. Plus WOTC knows fans will riot if they bring Jaya back and dont give her a planeswalker card at all.
Why do you think Teferi gets a planeswalker deck as well as a card in the set proper, whilst Jaya doesn't? Is it because Jace just got a planeswalker deck in Ixalan (and would have got one otherwise)?
I think it’s more a matter of them wanted to have balanced decks and they probably picked he planeswalkers last. White Blue screams Teferi, and then Chandra is probably in the story and they wanted to fit her in.
