The trailer is amazing, but quite spoileriffic!!
Extemely!
I think 95% of people who gonna buy it on blu ray, have already watched it. The other 5% won’t watch the commercial anyway and pick it up spontaneously at the store while passing by.
For the most part, yes. But I know people that could not go to the Cinema to watch it, and is waiting for the blu-ray. I don’t live in a great center here in Brazil, there is only one cinema close to me.
I think the trailer could reveal less. Even I will avoid watching it again, I saw the film just once, and want to see again fresh.
Will digital have same amount of bonus footage as Blu-ray?
i wander the same. since i have chromecast i see no need for buying DVD.
Yes, it should.
I have to wait till April to buy it 🙁
I don’t care what people say. I thought this movie was absolutely badass.
Well it was bad. And ass.
Nope. Just not the predictable garbage fanboys wanted.
every comment you make….i swear i grit my teeth…you are just a straight up asshole dude….non stop.. and uninformed..which is the worse kind of asshole you can be..because you seriously believe your own bullshit…like a sociopath…you always just want to be a dick to people because they have a different opinion than you…why the hell do you care if people dont like this movie? does it effect your life at all? you read too many articles….its liek you are brainwashed by all of these mainstream media sites…you ALL say the same thing…ALL of you… “oh they dont like this movie because it wasnt predictable and what the little fanboys wanted”… THis movie was fucking trash…i had no predictions or expectations other than it being a good movie..I actually hoped Luke would Die so he would come back in 9 as a ghost…If he wouldnt have died…i would have cared less if it was a good movie..MILLIONS of people HATE this movie…all around the globe….and jackasses like you are going to sit around and pretend that they all hate this move for the same reason? L O L get over yourself and stop being a total dick dude….good lord
Don’t read them then! I know you movie haters can’t help but hang around forever whining about a film instead of doing something constructive instead, but really, you can just ignore posters you don’t like you know.
practice what you preach….
LOL. Never met a hashtag user who wasn’t an utter dick.
It is a perfectly good, at times excellent, SW movie. Though I do admit to having much more appreciation for it after my second viewing. I was initially underwhelmed by it but I knew that at least some of that was because a lot of the stuff I had hoped was going to be in the movie didn’t happen. When I watched it for a second time, minus my wish list, I was able to appreciate and judge it for what it is rather than what I had thought it was going to be. I had a similar experience with TFA.
Try watching a real movie….
I ordered the digital version after I bought my ticket and I’ve already preordered the steelbook from Zavi. I’ll probably own 3 versions of The Last Jedi just like did for The Force Awakens. Its stupid but I do it anyway.
I do the same thing. I don’t want to have to wait until the 27th to watch it, but I want a physical copy to go on my shelf, so I buy the digital release and then the Blu-Ray as well.
I know I’m living in the dark ages still, but will the DVD version simply be the film with no other features on whatsoever (like the TFA and R1)?
I’m living in the dark ages as well, apparently, and wonder the same thing…Still have yet to invest in a Blu-Ray player, don’t do digital or streaming…
Do you have an Xbox One or a PS4? They double as Blu-Ray players.
If you have one of each they also double as bookends.
PC Gamer Alert
Nah, not a gamer, but I’ve got a friend who is and he’s been touting the merits of getting an Xbox and/or PlayStation for the functional versatility, so…maybe I’ll finally give in and take the plunge at some future point, when cash flow permits…
Xbox One S is going to $199 now. So the price point is definitely there. You don’t need the Xbox One X or the PS4 Pro.
Cool, will definitely keep in mind…
Sadly, that’s pretty much a certainty given the content of DVD releases of recent years.
yeah it’s been forcing us to buy blue ray and its players, but I wont do it.
I’m a little soured that us in the UK have to wait until April the 9th.
It’s like the bad old days (1999) when we had to wait for TPM, well those of us that did wait – most people I knew just pirated the thing.
I didn’t have to, I guy I knew rang me up, offered it me because he knew I was a SW nut and delivered it to my flat within hours 3 months before it released in the UK for 10 quid. Still have it on VHS . crap picture but more enjoyable than TLJ, Jar Jar and all. .
Annyoying indeed.
Not as bad as it was tho- i seem to recall im the 80s/early 90s we used to get cinema releases weeks after the states and the vhs would come about 9 months after cinema.
We did however get season 1 if battlestar galactica weeks before the US did.
So happy that those long dark days are now resigned to history.
For anyone here who has never heard the tale of George Lucas, Marcia Lucas, and uncredited co-writer Douglas Gabriel — this is fascinating stuff…

Be curious.
Couldn’t really be bothered to watch the whole thing – Does he provide even the barest semblance of proof for what he’s claiming? – I mean, I know I’m being cynical, but whenever there’s something successful there’s always someone in the wings claiming to be owed a slice of the pie.
Make of it what you will. I’ll dig further for the sake of my own curiosity and report back in this forum for anyone else that’s interested.
THE new trailer is better than the film! Clever edit!
I have a post-crawl opening scene for Episode IX:
Open on a vast star field, the camera tilts down to a lone starship in light speed, it’s the Millennium Falcon. Cut to an extreme close-up of Rey gasping as she awakens from a dream. Cut to a long shot of the Falcon coming out of hyperspace as we see the planet Ahch-To come into focus. Cut to Rey. “I just had the weirdest dream, there were so many things that didn’t make sense!” “Okay Chewie, let’s go find Luke.”
What an original comment…
I would literally be jumping up and down in the theater!!
So you just want to watch VIII again instead of getting a new movie for IX? I like Last Jedi too but not as much as you it seems
that would be the ultimate finger to Rian!! Then maybe we could get some real Luke instead of Jake Skywalker!
If only…….
Any idea from anyone if there will be a 3D release, similar to TFA?
It seems that some countries which don’t get 4K are getting 3D instead.
Thank you!
Finally! After making an adult, financially sound decision (I lie, I had to, I was broke) to cut my theater viewings at four, I can’t wait to see this beautiful, thoughtful movie again in all it’s HQ glory.
Lol imagine if that was the theatrical trailer.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/481d876e124e5ab331690297019728beb9e59cbe1729f5115a9101a0f46c6c1f.gif
Lmao
Despite how I (mostly negatively) feel about the movie, I think this is a day one purchase for me. My question is, does anyone actually keep the DVD/Blu-Ray Sleeves? I want to chuck all of mine, but I never have the heart to do so.
Eh. I eventually toss them.
If nothing else, buy it for the commentary. The commentaries for TPM are fascinating, mostly when you realize that Lucas really, REALLY believed in Jar Jar Binks.
This will be the first Star Wars movie that I’m not going to buy on release day (That includes the prequels) I’m going to wait until it drops in price or when it shows up in the local trade in store.
Wow. So unexciting news. I will definitely spend my money on something else!!! Not gonna give my money to support such rubbish movie.
You think this movie is garbage and yet you liked the prequels. Give me break.
I would watch attack of the clones on repeat 24/7 for 365 days before i would watch TLJ again…and i used to think AOTC was the worst movie ever released in Cinema…..
Right. That awesome movie where the main protagonist complains about sand and spews bargain bin romance novel dialogue. Yet the Last Jedi is somehow worse than that.
Get real.
The only way anyone could prefer AOTC is if they are only interested in battle porn. I put Last Jedi as fourth best after V, IV and IIV, closely followed by IV
Is IIV III?
I, II and III don’t really exist to me in the series
I, II, III, VII and VIII are all garbage. The only good Star Wars films are the OT.
If you feel that way, what in the world are you doing here? If you’ve not enjoyed a Star Wars film since 1983, then i’d suggest you find something else to talk about.
Hysterical, in every sense of the word.
I”m with you. I saw it once in the Theater and never went back. A first for me, as I have seen all other SW films multiple times.
Good for you
Could it be that those deleted scenes are in fact the real movie? And that the abhorrent thing that was shown in the theaters was in fact the scenes that were supposed to be deleted?
Kind of like Suicide Squad?
Here’s one of the deleted scenes:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/35c27cded0e391257cc1287145552d251e29df8ddd9f71fed2dd8e96e17247ec.png
14 deleted scenes means there are 14 chances for bantha-goodness!
I did not like TLJ in the theater, but I’m ready to give it another shot on Bluray in March. Time gives perspective and I hope I was just being too hard on it like the PT. I eventually came to enjoy the PT in a certain context and hopefully I can do the same for TLJ.
Basement Dwelling Fanboy: I WON’T WATCH THIS! TLJ IS TRASH!
Buys Blu Ray.
sigh….how come any person who says they hate this movie and wont be paying for this trash…is automatically some ” basement dwelling butthurt fanboy”? you know..its a pretty common thing for people not to like something other people like.or realize things that some people just wont realize no matter how hard they tried..this whole thing reminds of of the US election runs…oh you like donald trump? ohhhh you must be a racist womanizing nazi!!!!…. man stfu…you have this illusion that more people liked this movie than disliked it…i got news for you mr casual star wars fan who doesnt know DICK about Canon or this universe..YOU and people like you who liked this movie are in the minority…its a damn fact bud….get over yourselves…you dont see people insulting you for liking it…i mean whats the point? the fact that you like it in the first place just proves that its a waste of energy trying to explain to you how blind and gullable you are…YOU are more than likely the ” fanboy” dude….you are the type of fanboy who would use 1-ply toilet paper that felt like sandpaper on your crack and look passed the pain because it had a star wars logo on it…..if George Lucas painted a turd with gold spraypaint…and told you it was a solid gold bar…you would be on facebook bragging about how much you loved this gold bar some your idol gave you….and then you would insult the people who pointed out to you that it was just a gold spray painted dog turd .
LOL – this is guaranteed.
Ha ha. yep. No way, NO WAY will the nerds will leave a hole in their collection.
Of course they’ll lie and claim someone bought it for them as a gift so they reluctantly accepted or some similar bullshit.
Guarantee I won’t buy it or Netflix it. I will never watch it again and could care less about additional deleted scene garbage. More Canto Bight? More Grumpy Luke? More Snoke dialogue that goes nowhere? Not interested.
At least there’s not more Kent.
Ironically I think he has two accounts.
I believe that’s someone else, mocking him
sounds like somebody’s crying
Do you ever stop bitching? We get it. You don’t like it. Fine. Why troll every single story?
You “could care less” – what are talking about, that makes NO sense, the phrase is ”couldn’t care less”. Not the brightest bulb are you Kent.
You are HIGHLY interested. Your constant presence on every single Star Wars thread using every chance to bash the movie proves it. I bet you secretly buy it and watch it every night, while still carrying on like you hate it. In fact, with each viewing you’ll like it more, and you’ll bitch on here even worse to try to hide the fact.
Front room dwelling Fanboy; I WON’T WATCH THIS! TLJ IS TRASH!
Doesn’t, ever again.
No thanks, I’m saving for the ‘The Adventures of Merlin’ Blu-ray’s. What a great show!
WOw. They skipped the Casino! Not a single scene from Casino planet in the bluray trailer! One just wonders…
They’re saving the scenes we love… for another time.
Oh man, that Yoda looks too fake, very proud of it they are…
Not sure if kidding or crazy….
lol
That yoda was awesome. Molded from the ESB yoda, practical, done by Oz. perfecto. nothing more we could have asked for.
The original puppet had an aditional appliance made especially as the mouth area looked kinda goofy when Oz was opperating it, looks like that part wasn’t included on the TLJ puppet. So that’s probably to blame for the slightly Cabbage Patch beachball faced look.
It’s crazy that in the year 2018, they can’t make a Puppet look as good as they made it in the 80’s. Are people really this inept nowadays?
No, they just wanna piss you off.
That Yoda doesnt look like Yoda, and doesn’t moves like Yoda either, it has a big problem with the lips, and mouth movement, someone pointed somewhere that they probably used a previos mold, not the final one, if you compare this TLJ Yoda with Empire Yoda you will notice.
I think they should care more about this details instead of just trusting in an old mold.
i found it charming. Looked better than the original TPM by 1,000,000x and loks more like yoda than the CGI one. I dug it, anyways.
Not 1,000,000x but 10,000,000x better that puppet from TPM, I agree, but 8’s still looks more like an imitation or a representation, or even a cartoon of Yoda, more than the actual Yoda, something is really out, and it is charming, but still doesn’t looks like Yoda.
The only piece of shit I see is the one using hashtags and emoticons outside of Twitter.
I grabbed the other films on day one, gonna have to do it again. 😀
As always now, why can’t they include the trailers and TV spots??? And if Disney says “That’s what YouTube is for”, I ask them: can you watch a 1080p trailer on YouTube where the video bitrate is in the 20s or 30s MBps??
The amount of people that care is too minuscule to cater to.
Why would anyone want to spend their hard earned money on what is easily the worst Star Wars film of all time?
The only place The Last Jedi belongs is in the trash.
To piss people like you off.
You don’t understand Star Wars.
I will teach you.
Stop making nonsense and make me some tee.
Do you understand Star Wars? Nothing happened in the Last Jedi that wasn’t logical in terms of what has already been established in previous movies.
I understand you’re a clueless assclown.
Worse than Attack of the Clones? Ok mate…ok….
Absolutely.
TLJ makes ATOC look like Lawrence of Arabia by comparison.
Riiiight…..and seriously, you upvoted your own comment? lol
Yep – at least the characters MAKE SENSE in AOTC
They also make total sense in TLJ, or at least they do to anyone with a normal brain.
Um no they don’t. Rey-Kylo Force-Facetime? Yoda a pyromaniac sociopath? Luke grumpy grump except in the last 10 minutes? Snoke killed off with little more importance than a Stormtrooper death? Finn can’t do anything right but Rose is great?
As I said; they make sense to anyone with a normal brain.
go to sleep
Last Jedi was great. Luke’s magic was amazing and the hyperspace attack was just an idea waiting to happen. I agree with JJ that people who don’t like Last Jedi are just threatened by women
I love Rey as the lead, thought she was absolutely amazing in TFA. That said, TLJ was garbage, and my opinion has nothing to do with the gender of the lead.
thank god!
Go virtue signal somewhere else.
Go complain about Last Jedi somewhere else, it’s not our fault it didn’t work for you
Nothing wrong with a hyperspace attack. Everything wrong with how it was executed. Again… I don’t want to go into extensive detail. I mean heck I guess I could go into a ridiculously in-depth cantina post highlighting why there is absolutely no counter argument that makes any sense as to how the attack played out…
but I fear my obsession is… getting unhealthy lol.
Of all the people who don’t like TLJ only a small minority are threatened by women or are sexist & racist. That’s what JJ was saying. Not that they are all like that. I didn’t like TLJ but Rey was my favourite character in TFA. Ahsoka is my favourite character in clone wars and Jyn was great in R1. Do I feel threatened by women? I think not! There are also a small minority of nut cases on the side of those who liked TLJ. There’s one on here who compared those of us who didn’t like TLJ to terrorists ffs!!
I thought it was rather good, sure it’s derivative, mirroring and rhyming as it does with the OT but that’s just the way GL has set up the framework for this saga, the filmmakers have to work within that, I’m sure episode 9 will be the same.
People say that Luke’s character was ruined, that he’d never try to kill his nephew but he didn’t try to kill him, he looked into his mind, was shocked at the extent of the aggression, venom and darkness he found there and instinctively reacted to that threat by igniting his weapon – a sort of knee jerk reaction – he immediately stops and controls himself but it’s too late, Ben has woken up and also reacts with instinct, fuelled in no small part by all of that darkness Luke saw. He doesn’t control it.
It’s perfectly understandable that Luke would thereafter feel deep shame and despair, he’s allowed most of his young students, whose parents probably trusted him to safeguard, to perish and he’s lost his nephew, his sister and best friend’s son to the dark side. It’s all gone to pot very quickly, one small, perfectly understandable error of judgment has had huge disastrous consequences that he can’t ever really fix.
Luke still has some great, magical scenes in this movie, with Artoo and Yoda, the duping of Kylo and the whole FO army to save the rebels, is a tremendously symbolic skewering of their Menace, his pitch perfect death scene sitting cross legged in front of the setting suns is very poetic. I have no doubt he’ll return as a force ghost in episode 9 and Yoda’s lightning demonstration seems to be telegraphing that Luke is going to be more than a spirit sitting passively on the sidelines.
Actually the above, Yoda’s use of lightning is one of the stupid complaints I’ve heard from people. In life Yoda uses force lightning several times, so why is it a problem, that as a force ghost, when we know that he’s become more powerful than we can possibly imagine, his ability is now magnified?
I’ve heard loads of other complaints that to me are total red herrings. Off the top of my head, Leia using the force as she did was terrible apparently because we didn’t see her being trained, even though 30 years have passed, plenty of time to have become a powerful force user. Or I heard another complaint about how Poe and the others should have been sucked out to space when they open the door to rescue Leia, except that she clearly passes through a force field on her return to the ship.
People complain about Rey being all powerful, yet in TFA Kylo easily captures her and only loses to her in their duel after being badly injured and being clearly unbalanced by his killing of his father. In TLJ Snoke plays with her like a rag doll and Luke easily parries and disarms her in one to one combat, even though he’s shut himself off from the force for years. He can’t do much with a wooden stick against a lightsaber though can he, that’s the only reason Rey manages to briefly best him. We know Rey is very accomplished in one on one combat from the get go, just like Luke was a very accomplished pilot from the get go.
People have a problem with the humour but the prank call is similar to something Han does in ANH, just as Poe and Holdo’s testy interactions are similar to Han and Leia’s. People have a problem with Hux being depicted as he was but really after seeing his ridiculously pompous and bombastic speech in TFA – cringeworthy doesn’t cover it – could he have been any other way.
People complain about Rey’s parents being nobodies but that information came from Snoke, it could be untrue, there’s a whole other movie to go yet. People complain about Snoke dying without us knowing anything about him but that’s exactly the same as the emperor in the OT and again, the possibility remains that he’s Plagueis or a Plagueis like character, who can return from death, there’s a whole other movie to go yet.
I would say to people to watch the movie again with your list of complaints in mind, I bet you will find many of them are just silly, mean spirited or just plain wrong because you missed or misunderstood something. The online reaction to this movie has been very interesting to observe in the sense of how a kind of mass hysteria can take hold.
I think you’ve wasted a lot of effort here. These people aren’t going to be swayed. The thing about films (and other forms of media) that are so divisive is that there is little middle ground. You either really like it or hate it. I loved it and the constant whining drives me nuts, especially when it’s garbage like “Luke tried to murder his nephew”, but I know I’ll never convince anyone that it was good if they think it’s bad. It’s really a poor subject for a discussion forum, as it’s always going to be one extreme or the other. You can’t have a sensible discussion when both sides are entrenched like this. Might as well just talk smack and wind ’em up. 🙂
I’m not particularly bothered if people change their minds or not, great if they do. I just wanted to give a counter argument to a lot of the stuff being offered up as to why the movie is bad. I don’t think fans of the movie have been doing a particularly good job of defending it.
Sorry, there is a middle ground. I’m standing on it right now ;p
I’m guessing it’s pretty lonely out there. Not much balance on this board lol.
He he 🙂 Maybe not on this board. I think some people may not want to post out of fear of being jumped on by the more vocal members of either side of the argument.
JJ’s getting desperate by playing the misogyny card.
He’s essentially trying to guilt trip fans into not bailing on the franchise.
I’ve got a better idea, JJ. Instead of telling fans how horrible they are, why don’t you get Christopher Nolan on the phone instead, and persuade him to do the next Star Wars Trilogy?
And you personally need to go away, and have no involvement in the GFFA whatsoever.
I can assure you that my dislike for TLJ has nothing to do with me not liking women. How about the fact that it just wasn’t a good movie. You guys are always wanting to find a reason other than that…not liking a movie doesn’t make me a sexist, homophobic or anything else.
Move along and grow up.
JJ is taking the Ghostbusters approach and calling everyone who didn’t like the film a sexist w******k – says more about his character than the reasonable arguments raised by most of the people who didn’t like it.
Unlike JJ, I have looked through the comments on Rotten Tomatoes and most of the negatives I read had lengthy, well thought out arguments as to why the reviewer thought the film was poor. I may not agree with all them, but they’re not based on gender.
It’s a typical straw man argument and a poor one at that.
JJ Abrams didn’t call a mysoginist whoever didn’t like TLJ. He called a mysoginist who actually criticized TLJ assuming misonigistic arguments.
Please, don’t misread. It’s the last thing the SW fandom needs right now.
You are a fucking idiot.
whining whining dirty diapers poo, pee…communist fight against disney corporation?
People may like things that other people may not. You didn’t like TLJ? Ok, don’t buy it. I liked it, so I’ll buy the Blu-ray. But there’s a nicer way to expose your thought, I guess.
Star Wars is dead. The story ended with ROTJ. Disney and Lucasfilm have already pimped it out for a few dollars per trick….. it’s Star Whores from now on.
More than anything, this movie really exposed Rian Johnson. He’s just NOT a blockbuster-caliber director……ala Spielberg or JJ. This film had such strange editing, obtuse camera angles, it just didn’t feel Star Wars.
Little things like the mega-close-up of Kylo Ren’s feet-running on Crait, that looked so classic ANIME — but that’s NOT what SW is supposed to look like.
The directing in the Praetorian Guards fight — again so silly — with a Light Saber looking weightless and Kylo just “flicks the switch” to kill the guy behind him — like the Saber was just a Bic Lighter.
It really seemed more like a YouTube-Fan-Flick at times.
you never stop bitchin’, aren’t you?!
I never stop on Rian Johnson.
Rian deserves all the criticism he gets.
I bet he hears ya…
Shows how much of a cry-baby you are.
Again, who can say what SW is “supposed to be”? I’ve noticed the “anime style” too, and not only in the running bit: the whole hyperspace kamikaze scene seems to be taken from a manga; the sequence into the bomber has some stylized shot that could fit into a comic book; the entire Crait battle has some crazy graphic abstraction. There’s a pretty neat and coherent research behind every frame. It doesn’t seem lke a “classic” SW movie, and it works pretty well to me. I’m sorry you didn’t like it, but you should understand that a director can’t ask what the fandom wants before writing every scene.
I actually like when each director brings his own sensibility to a franchise. TESB feels distinctively different than ANH feels different than ROTJ feels different than TFA feels different than R1 feels different than TLJ and vice versa.
I agree. It makes no sense to idealize ONE image of the saga, because the saga itself always moved forward. I loved the style of TLJ.
The Anime style just doesn’t work for Star Wars though — and yes I do feel there is a “Star Wars style” — The OT, TFA, R1, and Solo look like the same series. TLJ looked like an Anime Fan Flick.
91% of the critics think that style works. Are they wrong?
Oh, I’m not saying critics is always right; I’m saying that a pretty big bunch of the people who saw TLJ didn’t have problems with the “new style”. Don’t deal with absolutes!
When Lucas made the original he wasn’t a big league blockbuster-calibre director either. In fact, he was even more of an experimental film-maker than Rian Johnson is.
Right, and Lucas was creating something new from scratch…not continuing an established property. Rian struck out badly.
Maybe Lucas should have just continued to make great movies in the franchise. Oh wait, he made the Prequels.
The prequels have their issues, I would rather have seen bad prequel like sequel trilogy then TFA/TLJ.
They might have been bad, but at least they would have been/felt like Star Wars.
Banthas rule!!!!
Mwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Okay I had to share this..some guy on YouTube ‘re-scored’ the duel from TFA with his own music..wow. It really makes the duel feel more POWERFUL. WHERES MY BATTLE MUSIC ST?! I KNOW YOU CAN PULL THROUGH!!!

Liptstick on a pig dude. Nobody ever wanted to see Kylo vs Finn. This fight was ridiculous.
Oh come on, it’s not fair to say that “nobody” was excited. I was pretty pumped to see that duel since it was promoted in the trailers and tv spots.
Kanan’s death on Mondays Rebels! Wow! Now that is how it’s done! Something like THAT is how Luke should have died!!
Ever heard of Spoilers?
Apologies! I forgot not everyone would have seen it yet!
Would be ok if in the Rebels review buddy, been avoiding it. How about deleting to save others?
Cheers
I can’t keep bashing this terrible movie…I just want some good SW back in my life. TLJ was so bad, that it has me excited for the movie that I didn’t want…SOLO.
Still holding onto hope….
All true fans want Star Wars to be great again, but I’m a pragmatic person, and I realize that it just isn’t happening.
Disney has shown us their hand. We know now what to expect moving forward.
Which is more of the same shit tier cinema we got in the first two films.
It may be far worse, I guess. For example, the movies may really be bad.
This will be the first Star Wars film I won’t buy on disk, with the exception of the Ewok TV films. I’m not at all happy about it. I’m just not excited about Star Wars at all any more, Solo, the Game of Thrones guys trilogy, ep9, none of it, it’s like losing a good friend through no fault of your own, bit melodramatic but that’s how I feel.
Agreed. I suspect the blu-ray sales will be slightly down from previous. At this point the sequels are just a waste of time.
So glad releasing 4K.
Ridiculous they’d waited wother SW releases. Milking std bluray, requiring 2nd purchase.
Glad I held off until this movie, and proper 4K disc.
Great movie, SW doesn’t get better than that. Loved Luke’s arc, very anxious to see the extras. Pity that the comment section is taken by half of dozen Mr Plinkett wannabe haters.
Jesus… learn English before you post.
no, but thanks for your “no-one-asked” opinion
Dude, come on. I’m willing to bet that his English is far superior to yours or my Spanish. Don’t try to dismiss his argument by attacking his English. That’s low and just flat out myopic.
Ryan Coogler could have done a far better job than that hack Rian Johnson. Black Panther is a far superior piece of film-making compared to TLJ. Killmonger is an actually interesting villain compared to Darth Vader Jnr.
I have to admit I haven’t seen Black Panther yet, and I have my fair share of criticisms of TLJ – but I do think that Kylo is a very interesting villain. One of the most interesting villains in the whole saga (but not necessarily one of my favorites). Is he a bit emo? Yes. Does he seem petulant and unlikable? Yes. Is he flat and two-dimensional? In my opinion, absolutely not. He’s not an archetype – he’s probably more realistic as a villain as we’ve ever seen in these movies, and we’re not used to that because these movies and characters have always been iconic and larger than life. I give much of the credit to Adam Driver, who I think is just a fantastic actor. Kylo will never be as “cool” or iconic as Vader, but he is definitely more complicated. I prefer that Lucasfilm went this route with the character instead of trying to “out-bad” Vader, which would have never worked. Since Vader first appeared on-screen in 1977, he has always been and always will be one of the greatest and most iconic movie villains in all of film history.
no, it´s not
Black Panther was so bad it was good. Like Plan 9 From Outer Space good. It was very entertaining….something I couldn’t say about The Last Jedi.
Any chance the mods can tell me why one of my posts was removed? I don’t do offensive.
My post pertained to JJ Abrams using a poor strawman argument against TLJ’s detractors.
They hate you.
