at this point any opinion about The Last Jedi is unpopular. you have just as many people on both sides, and they’re both just as vocal

What about those like me who are on the fence lol. I really liked TLJ when I first saw it, and I now think it is just boring. Not that bad, but not that great either. (Spoilers for TLJ for some reason) Snoke’s death had me on the edge of my seat, especially with the throne room fight , but Kylo and Rey’s talk afterward just had me confused, which is not what any movie should have the audience feel.
To move on from the TLJ hate that is the very internet, let’s talk about Solo. Oh boy Solo.
What a movie. I loved it so so much, and I’m sure the other 2 people in my theater did too. As a huge Clone Wars fan, I loved the subtle and not-so-subtle nods to it, especially the Pyke Syndicate. What really made it stand out to me was how much it felt like the original Han Solo books from Legends. Again, what a movie.

######Hi, I’m a rare creature that has actually never had an issue with Rey.

oh yeah, that’s an unpopular opinion: I agree with PN99 here

I never had a problem either other than the HUGE disappointment about her parents.
YES.
I wasn’t honestly that disappointed. I kind of find it dumb when characters who come out of nowhere just so happen to have some kind of relationship with everyone we already know. While the reveal could have been better, I am perfectly fine that Rey’s parents are nobodies. Maybe we’ll even get to meet them and learn about who they are? Perhaps they could secretly be in the Mandalorian?

Yeah the fact that they were nobodies didn’t bother me that much, but I would have liked them to be somewhat significant, like some new Jedi (or Sith) that we had never heard of or something. Though i do like the mandalorian idea.

There is still the possibility that Kylo actually lied to Rey, therefore they could still be something better than nobodies. Who knows? J.J Abrams my have not shown us everything he was planning yet.

There is that I hope so. Though as far as i recall J.J. didn’t write or direct TLJ but he will do the next one.

If Kylo was lying why did she say it?
I agree

He could have been manipulating her fears of being no one important in order to lead her to that conclusion. People do it all the time. It’s basically another form of gaslighting.
Not that I want him to be lying–even though my opinions towards TLJ have also been souring of late, I still think Rey being no one of importance is the better choice for her character.

If everything is unpopular, is anything truly unpopular?
Actually this has been confirmed that they were in fact no one of significance and so most likely moving forward this will not change. Even if it were to, it kinda renders Kylo mentioning it redundant. My main issue with that would be, that’s a further subversion and given how TLJ went, I’d like sequels to be less like that. I can’t find my source for this rn but this has been stated.

Who knows, maybe Rey’s origin will get its own movie, and then her parents will no longer be nobodies to the audience. This is Disney we’re talking about.
If you say so. I’ve not seen an of his other movies. But he’s definitely a better director than the other guy.

I mean, I don’t think Rian Johnson is really a bad director. He made plenty of good movies outside of Star Wars. It’s just that his decisions weren’t exactly well thought out.
Yeah… they had 3 good scenes to kill off Liea, and they missed every single one.
You know who they should get? Quintin Tarantino. 
Who is that guy? I have Never heard of him.
Director. I couldn’t name anything by him, but he’s known for odd pacing, such as putting the end at the beginning, then going back, and jumping around the timeline of the movie.

I would argue the Last Jedi had a lot of really well thought out elements that critique the previously established in-universe norms and call out elements of the fandom at the same time. What decisions were you thinking of?
