The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS ** — Page 144

The heckler’s veto is a thing, but there is no desire to make your job difficult, Wook.

A question nagging me, maybe somebody noticed/remembers: did Luke already have his exposed robotic hand in a flashback standing over Kylo? As a Force projection, did Luke have the robot hand or flesh?

I think he had the ROTJ glove?

As projection or in flashback?

He had the exposed robo-hand in the flashback. In the projection, he had either the same glove he wore throughout the movie or a close looking one. It was more brown than black.

Thanks. I had initially thought his robo-hand was stripped away when the hut was collapsed down on him. But we don’t actually know why. Another reason not to like the movie 😛

A youtube video that even a TV’s Frink might love: “Top 10 Worst Reasons You Hated The Last Jedi”. I recommend her other videos if you like dry sarcastic humor.

After a rewatch, my opinion of the film still holds. Absolutely excellent.

But still, that horse scene, amirite?

I think I pinned it down to the motion of those horses. They move do unnaturaly to me — a way that’s indicative of early 2000s CGI. Also, the whole way the scene was “shot” looked very Lucas-like.

That’s a giant porg. lol. Apparently, they were raffled off as a Target promotion.

I liked these guys’ take on the film (funny and brief):

I like this guy, too (he lost me a bit at the end, but I agree with most of his critique):

RLM guys talk Last Jedi in latest video, less than a minute spent on it! Very relevant.

Another article trying explain away some fans’ critisms:

Apparently the negative opinions are all biased by expectations and such, which then implies that positive opinions are objective?

Why can’t people just stick with explaining why they like or dislike a film, rather than lumping people together in a vain attempt to discredit the opposite side?

Great question. Of course we don’t only see this in film discussions. I think there are lots of reasons. When one is convinced of a certain point of view there is a natural tendency to focus on the weaker arguments of the other side. They’re easier to deal with and confirm the rightness of one’s own point of view. Sometimes bad arguments are made by people with good reasons that they don’t know how to express very well. But that then colors how better arguments are viewed, seemingly tainted by the same bad objections.

There is also the fact that this thing has importance to the people discussing it (see the RLM video clip). So there is a part of people that may feel personally affronted if others don’t share their view. These are obviously generalizations but I think explains why we see some strong views on both sides trying to discredit the other.

Because that’s what fan sites with a checkered past do?

And what Wook said.
