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.
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.
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.
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?
(keep in mind that a tiny but very vocal minority of the fandom having an adverse initial reaction to something does not mean that it was “not well thought-out”)
Lets not forget Rian Johnson acting like an offended child on twitter only making it worse. I don’t think the movie would be near as hated if that idiot would just admit he made a bad movie. Anyone remember 2016 ghostbusters?; insulting your fan base never ends well.
Except he deals with it like toddler. Entertainment is subjective sure and trolls exist but you don’t insult people for hating whatever especially when you’re a representative of your employer. Brie Larson, rian johnson, etc; all these personal politics and fan bashing reflects badly on Disney and just makes the fans hate these people even more.
Once I can understand but he refuses to accept any criticism. It’s all our fault; he didn’t make a bad movie no it’s our fault.
As stated this only reflects badly on Disney becuase they hire these morons. It’s why while I did like captain marvel I absolutely despise Brie Larson.
