I do not understand the comment about Last Jedi.
It was a successful film, commercially and critically.
The worst thing about it was exposing the racism of some fans against Rose.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Rose was a shi-te character. It happens all the time in all forms of entertainment. No need to plumb the depths of an imaginary intersection.

The Last Jedi is a perfectly entertaining film. Easily my favorite of the sequel trilogy. The overreactions to this film are pretty ridiculous. And I agree, the treatment Kelly Marie Tran received from various trolls is appalling, as was the backlash Moses Ingram received from her character in Obi-Wan. Seeing racist attacks like that makes it a bit embarrassing for me to call myself a Star Wars fan.

I honestly believe the anti-Rose sentiment had less to with race and more to do with the fact that she wasn't attractive. Hard to think SW fans are anti-Asian when you consider how much Lucas used Asian influences. Look at how Queen Amidala is dressed in The Phantom Menace for example. Or better yet, light saber fights and ancient religions are the stuff of ninjas.
must mean there will be no unattractive people in the SW universe.
I liked her and hated to see the abuse. but if you do not read social media it is not important
even if you do read social media....

I did not like the sequel STAR WARS trilogy at all. I tried to, but I just didn't like it. They made all the prequels look like movie classics. Though I enjoyed John Williams' scores.

Nah. Rose was just a terrible character is a terrible film.

ridiculous
one of THE biggest problems with the Board, and, well US society in general is the false equation-
I do not like something = that something is terrible.
It is a logically erroneous idea, and fundamentally wrong, and leads to all sorts of ridiculously idiotic conversations.
A film that you do not like is not a "terrible" film, and this one, objectively, by any normal metric, is NOT a terrible film.
In fact it is very highly rated. You are free to despise it, but that does not make it terrible.
