The latest Star Wars rumours are WILD (Destiny)

I think they understand the heart and spirit if the franchise far better than Kennedy, RJ, or JJ ever did.


Rian Johnson understood the spirit of star wars better than just about anybody man. At least in my opinion.


I think that’s a tough argument to sell based on how TLJ handles character growth so atrociously. I’m not a hater of TLJ... there’s a lot I love about that movie. But the character development is handled terribly. At its core, SW is a hero’s journey, and TLJ fails to deliver on that front in any way, IMO.

Did we watch the same movie? Every character had a very clear arc of growth that made sense both logically and thematically. The movie was messy, but at the end of the day the character growth was completely nailed. And if you think Luke's story in Last Jedi was incompatible with the heroes journey… I just don't know what to say.
