Let the action do the talking. Even so, you can’t pretend that’s anywhere near as bad as anything in the prequels. I’ll take a thousand stop holding my hands over any of the terrible, wooden love scenes from the prequels. Natalie Portman knows how to act and even she couldn’t save that dreck.

"Do you have a shirt you can put on?" *feign embarrassment* I think they are both neck and neck with several of their scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the cringe in the new ones is their attempt to add humor and lighten the mood (admittedly it is overdone in a lot of places), whereas the prequels were trying to be more serious but just had awkward lines.

I'll take the prequels awkwardness over Disney the "funny" stuff we got in TFA and TLJ. I thought Solo did a good job though. There were funnies in that!

Most of them just fall flat for me, or they just overindulge and the bit goes on too long (the one where Chewy cooks up the little island critter and the other ones look on in horror is probably the biggest offender of the latter).

Deadpulse Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 See i actually enjoyed most of the humor. Im curious, where do you guys fall: 1. Didn't like the humor in any way shape or form 2. Didnt like the humor BECAUSE it was out of place in a SW film 3. Liked the humor, but felt like it was out of place in the SW film 4. Liked the humor, SW film or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the humor, SW film or not Some of it was fine. The very beginning jokes between Poe and Hux were not good imo. Threw me off from the start. I usually find Finn('s reactions) to be funny, and BB-8 always makes me smile. Yoda is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst still belongs to TFA, in the scene where the Alliance were discussing how to attack the new Death Star. It sounded like a video game tutorial explanation meant for an 8 year old gamer.

D82 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Felt a lot of the humor was out of place, didn't hit the mark at all, or was dragged on too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the humor, SW film or not 1. the humor simply wasnt funny and was forced *the on hold thing with Poe at the beginning *rey and luke meet and she gives the light saber. cue the dramatic music and rey smiling, and then undercut by luke tossing it over his shoulder. that joke fell with a thud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just watched this video today, the guy makes some really interesting points especially about hyperspace and the use of it in this movie, also mentions topics already covered in here, an interesting look at the movie. Sure one sided but hard to argue against it. And Rian Johnson really did mess this thing up, he made some solid films in Brick and Looper, but is on deck for the next Star Wars? Clearly Sci Fi epics are not his thing and he made some flat out bad choices in The Last Jedi. Even the original three Star Wars movies, IV, V and VI all had different directors in each, you had your turn now move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I am really beginning to think that Kamikaze attack by Holdo was a mistake too by Rian. I know people will say once again im hating. But now the question comes up, well if one ship like that can do that much damage, why hasn't this been a common thing for Rebels or really anyone to just go Eve Online against all these titan class vessals whenever they were outmatched?

Most people in the theater laughed but people are dumb. I think his move of rejecting the light saber made sense for his character though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
