On this channel my goal is to split my content between comedy and serious film analysis.
With my video essays I'm looking to cover new material, hopefully providing brand new insight into our beloved Star Wars universe.
My comedy edits will tend to be extremely stupidly hilarious and may lead to "shorting g-fuel out of my nose from laughing".
These type of analyses takes weeks to write and even longer to edit. I've got so many ideas I could easily make videos full time. But I need time to work on them. Help me grow this channel so I can be a full time creator and I will deliver you videos worth your investment in me.

They f&*ing ruined Luke Skywalker, my childhood hero along with Bruce Lee 😢
JJ Abrams, I think he also wrote the “Leftovers”? Great HBO show, mindnumbingly great. It’s like “Lost” but much more serious in mood, still sci-fi, surprise box. But it actually resolves in such a great ending that could be interpreted in several ways. Truly a GOAT show. E/ Nvm, I think it was his former “Lost” partner Damon Lindeloff.
All of them.
I don't agree with the even if the change was shown on screen, we still get a character assassination - we still get a different Luke- so no, its just a shit idea and we should stop defending it as good to have Luke be this hermit if it was shown on screen how he got there. This was the result of not caring how he got there- Why walk that path again?
Those are really two different points. Talking about how that character assassination could have worked better isn't the same as saying that's the route I would have preferred.
That edit with how luke should be reintroduced was bad. It misses the scene where he throws the lightsaber away
In regards to Luke, never has there been a better example of character assassination
Not gonna lie, your version of introducing Luke with the floating rocks kinda gave me chills.
I don't think it can be stated strong enough just how obscenely overrated J.J. Abrams is as a film maker. The force awakens is an absolutely, irredeemablely awful film, there is nothing good about it. How did grown butt adults ever get to the point of beginning filming with such a childishly stupid script? Seriously, my 12 year old child recognized how bad that first film was, and she saw it before I did. There are 8 billion people on this earth, how the freak did such an incompetent writer/director get chosen by the most powerful media company on earth to make the most important sequel in the history of film?
Masterpiece of analysis!
It sounds like Disney fucked up, not JJ. What a stupid idea to have all 3 movies directed by different people. And you say that JJ has only been involved in pilots and minor parts of directing sounds like again. Maybe there could be pay offs, but he’s not being allowed to finish projects. Or in this case, he could finish the SW trilogy, but only after RJ made the single worst SW movie to ever exist outside of the Christmas special. But, I’m only 7 minutes in, so we’ll see if you change my mind Edit: You’ve convinced me. RJ’s movie was still the worst, and I do t think he ever could have written a decent Star Wars movie, but you’re right, JJ fucked it up from the get go
Finn will go down as one of the biggest wasted opportunities in the entire sequel trilogy. Dude was touted as going from a stormtrooper to possibly a Jedi, and they diminished him to doing nothing but scream by the time Rise Of Skywalker came out. Don’t get me started on the fact that his portrait was shrunk down in international posters.
oooooo that comment on marvel aged badddddddd
What is this lol... you get a like
Jj is just a horrible horrible writer and director
Veder scene from Rogue One is much better than hole 3 last movies.
Kylo and finn should have been a yen and yang. Kylo born from good turns to evil embracing the dark side. Then finn born from evil turns good and embraced the light side. The dichotomy of the two would/should have been awesome. And it should have ended with finn adopting either the windu or skywalker last name. Orrr have finn become a jedi then turn to the dark side over his jealosy over rey's choosing poe. Man the possibilties would have been endless....(sigh)😮
"The kiss was not romantic". Well every time I want to high five my buddies I start kissing them......that's just common sense.🙄
😅
I saw a fanfic where rey was a mysterious sith under snoke. Ben was a jedi trained by luke. Poe was a pilot mentored by han and finn was a storm trooper that flipped to the resistance and then trained with luke as a jedi
I hope JJ sees this and retires.
1:02:20 damn I got goosebumps from this xD The lightsaber calling Rey for some reason makes your reunion of Luke and his lightsaber so much more appealing. I imagined the reunion the same way you did, just to witness Luke throwing it away... what a joke. That lightsaber should be SCREAMING in the presence of his old friend. It was Anakin's weapon before he turned into Darth Vader and faced off against Count Dooku and Obi Wan. It is one hell of a lightsaber. A Legendary piece. It was Luke's first saber on his journey to bring peace to the Galaxy. Luke doesn't even care.
Bro this sequels suck ass piriod
I wonder if JJ feels some responsibility over what happened as he was a star wars fan also... It's interesting JJ hasn't done anything since. It was cathartic to finally see all the criticism of rise of Skywalker. I felt crazy for years as I hated (truly hated) the force awakens. And all the criticism for rise was what I thought was appropriate for the Force awakens. I wasn't a fan of the last Jedi, the humor didn't work for me. But I respected he at least was making some original decisions even if didn't like them. JJ is all sizzle and no stake. The prequels has terrible story telling (dialog and expositions) but good story, the Disney trilogy had terrible story and good story telling. Great video, it was cathartic.
Thanks :)
These movies really were shit
Make most iconic characters per
No, the reason is because Disney decided to go woke . I can hear the screams now but bluntly they decided to out aside acting talent for gender and identity political considerations . And they are still bleeding money. People go to movies to be entertained not preached to by woke producers and executives !
… and before it was JJ Abrams fault, it was Kathleen Kennedy’s fault, and before it was Kennedy’s fault, it was Lucas’ fault for selling it to her.
Ahsoka is my childhood hero. I was bully a lot for being autistic and grew up in a political overbearing family. I almost gave up hope but Ahsoka courage, strength, honor, humility, wisdom, and overall hopeful nature always inspired me to never give up . I got to meet the voice actress Ashley Eckstein and went out of her way to give me a hug. Thank You Ahsoka, you will always be my hero.
Best thing you can do is ignore basically everything past the Clone Wars animated series.
Great video with facts. Racist and sexist are mad you're calling out the racism and sexism in film.
He was tryna do the maul slayer on the maul slayer on himself
I'm not a dedicated sequel trilogy hater, and I'm not a big hater of Disney, necessarily. But I do know that they've consistently failed to expand on the world in any way without raking huge wounds into the series. I don't really hate anything Disney has done. Just most of it is meh. Edit: the part about the three new powers is wierd. Like, there are so many times jedi have used the force in ways that are way more impressive than those three tricks. Also, they'd been established jedi techniques since forever. Hell, each of them are in KOTOR.
Also, Luke didn't HAVE to be more powerful than Kylo. Also, we don't know how powerful Luke was when he was at his peak, so this is a moot point. Feels like immense nitpicking
This analysis was incredible, and once again I am quietly furious about how badly the sequel trilogy was handled on every level.
Thank you!!
1:24:32 a character cannot be smarter than the writer who created him... yes, he can “say” that the character is a genius, but he cannot “show” this, because he himself is stupid (not smart enough)
😂😂😂😂
Legends - Canon - Disney
Saw lot of screen rant vdo. This one is noe of the most exceptional insight apart from just ranting
Your recreation of the episode 7 ending was great
Thanks! Took a long time :)
“Fractured with possibilities” That’s a weird way to say open to numerous directions which all were better than what Rian Johnson did…. lol
lol, yeah a bit verbose I'll admit 😅
Where did it start to went wrong? *When George Lucas sold Star Wars to Dismay!* It is a corporation that only cares about money, not about dreams or fans or a consistent story. It is ONLY about money. NOTHING else. Ok, now it is also about feminism, I know.
And of course, they also broke the character that was only referenced: the chosen one. Otherwise known as “Kylo’s Evil Melted Mascot- Wackus Bonkas”.
I’m amazed at how badly you’ve misread Darth Vader, ostensibly because he “doesn’t care about personal relationship”, and “his redemption seems last-minute”. A) In the OT, he’s mysterious, cold, and calculating. Until Luke reawakens his humanity. When you factor in the prequels, it’s easy to see that the passionate anger of his youth has mellowed into a cold, sarcastic bitterness. He’s no longer even passionate in his anger and cruelty. He just casually kills and manipulates without a second though. B) It seems very clear that once Lucas locked in on Father Vader, that some form of redemption was the plan. There are hints as far back as EMPIRE, such as Vader being too distracted to even bother killing Piett. And seeds are sprinkled throughout JEDI. Yes, Vader remains committed to the party line up until he chooses to save Luke, but that’s sort of the point. He makes a crucial difference at a crucial moment, and finally admits his mistakes, instead of doubling-down on rationalizations.
I think that perspective is mainly a retrospective one where the earlier "facts" make sense simply because the ending was what it was. Lucas had originally been toying with the idea that Luke kills Vader and takes over the Empire. So IF Lucas had gone with that ending, would Vader's "redemption" still be so clear in your eyes? (personally I see little concrete evidence unless we infer meaning where the text of the film give none. Not saying I don't see what you're talking about; just that I disagree that Lucas had this obvious outline for Vader's redemption. In fact, iirc, in the original drafts Vader and Anakin weren't even the same person.)
The fact that KZread videos like this had more effort put into them than Star Wars by Disney
Agree with the point on Like, but not Kylo - the original trilogy worked perfectly fine without a deep dive into how Anakin turned to Vader, it was explained in a line or two, nothing else was needed and everyone bought into it at the time.
The first possiblitiy is so logical
37:05 I think a good example of how to bring back a legacy character without taking away from a new character is Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man No Way Home. In that movie Tobey’s Spider-Man isn’t reverted back to how he was before Spider-Man 1 to make Tom’s Spider-Man look better, he’s still the same character we left in Spider-Man 3. Sure he might not have much of an arc in NWH but he’s very much like the Obi Wan of the Spider-Man trio. He delivers wisdom onto his younger variants and steps in to help them without any question because he’s already lived through their experiences.
Great example. Yeah, I love that film and how they handled each Peter's backstory.

Too bad the show didn't have the optimistic impact that you alluded to.. at least in my view. The Ahsoka series so far isnt as jarring as something like Kenobi where every epsisode shifts in quality from pretty good to bad. Other than a handful of cool moments, the Ahsoka show was pretty generic leaving only a little to be excited for in the future.
Agreed, it was lackluster. Although this video was more about the character than the then upcoming show, if that makes any sense.
This is all so right. J.J. Abrams set the trilogy up for failure. I don't get why people don't acknowledge this??
A ton of audience members are just there for entertainment and JJ does a pretty good job of that. By comparison I would say that TLJ is more character-based and the slower pacing gives people more room to see flaws in the story. Plus I'll bet all the nostalgic hype leading up to TFA made a lot of fans more lenient with any issues they saw.
@@DarthdYT I guess that's the reason then. It's a shame. It could've been a good trilogy
Leia was always written to appeal to a male audience rather than being written like a normal character. In the first movie they dedicate many time to say that she is beautiful but the men's look is never mentionned. After her rescue she confort Luke because many people would want a woman who dedicate time to save them but the fact that she was brutilized by the bad guys to show that they are evil is never mentionned. She is also the typical distant rich woman put in danger to be rescued by the everyman. She isn't that different to a character made to be a waifu in an anime. But she get a pass unlike those characters because of the nostalgia and because Star Wars is generally more intelectual than the average anime.
Yeah, I covered her a bit more in my recent big video on wasted characters. She had a really strong introduction and it just didn't lead anywhere.
He wasn’t an idiot when you get really angry you can’t think straight.Also the movies after it were already made so they had no choice
It's a parody edit. I've got lots of video essays that do deep dives but this title isn't really serious.
