I wonder if some were in this very thread that seemed to come out of the woodwork , think I may have come across a few on Facebook as well …https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-last-jedi-was-targeted-by-russian-trolls-study-says-1148475

“Star Wars has always been politically left-leaning.”

If you consider anything to the left of Nazism as “politically left-leaning” then I guess this statement is true.

Well Lucas is openly left leaning, so if his biases slipped in that’s the way it’s go. And he’s on record as saying the original films were a comment on Nixon and Vietnam, amongst other things. Whether the politics actually make it through in the film is up for debate, but I think the argument that the ST is significantly more politically biased than the OT is not accurate, mostly because I don’t actually think the ST is all that political (the most commonly cited factor, a diverse cast, should not be considered a political statement in my mind).

Remember to turn on subtitles, and watch in 1080p 😃

Beyond the color correction, have you applied any sort of sharpening effect? Or is that just the grain I’m noticing? Looks good.

There is some sharpening, yes.

Interesting, what program do you use?

I use Hitfilm 4 Express.

Is Kylo Ren a Good Villain?
Time

DominicCobb said:

The question of whether he is a good “villain” doesn’t interest me as much as whether a good antogonist, which I’d say he is absolutely. His villainy or potential lack thereof is part of what makes him interesting as a character. He’s just as unsure about his place in the universe as Rey, which makes him a good foil for her when he makes the wrong choices.
