@@LatajaceStadoKotow The film itself made a shitload of money, where they lost out is in merchandise. Toy sales are at an all time low for the series, as are most other licensed products.

The Prequels (and Return of the Jedi) played through it perfectly: Release the film in late spring for the summer blockbuster rush, then release the home video in early autumn so that kids and families get to watch it again (or several times) right before the late autumn holiday shopping rush really kicks in.This timeline worked PERFECTLY for moving merchandise- kids would demand certain action figures, lego vehicles, etc. of things that they had just seen over and over again in the movie, and it would give retailers a lot of time to move through Star Wars stock, whether toys, books, clothing, video games, whatever. Disney chose a film release schedule that does NOT work for merchandising at all, despite merchandise being Star Wars' biggest money maker- instead of the summer blockbuster window, which they probably wanted to keep exclusively for Marvel, they decided to release their Star Wars films in early December, immediately AFTER the shopping rush had mostly finished. As a result, most retailers in the fall shopping season are left clueless as to what to market to people, or how, because the actual movie that their new stock of merchandise is based on hasn't even released yet. And that's not even going into Disney's insistence on one (or more) SW movies each and every calendar year, which is another awful concept altogether. Star Wars merchandising was a methodically tuned, well-timed machine that worked over and over, generating hundreds of millions of revenue even in years with no new movie releases, and Disney went out of their way to break it down completely. I'd be shocked, but this IS the company that somehow managed to destroy the Muppets, so I can't say I'm too surprised.

LatajaceStadoKotow I'm ignoring everything Shovelwars for the coming years, it's so bad it doesn't deserve the time of day.

All they had to do was put Star Wars branded flamethrowers on the shelves! The kids just _love_ those!

@@bonitabromeliads Yes, it's never too late. Happened to watch Spaceballs after posting that and whoa, never knew how much the NuStarwars really took from it. I mean, the parking scene is kind of over the top. So nobody, not one person in a "creative" think tank room said: "Hey, you guys know they did that exact same thing in spaceballs? Anyone remember that? It happened; just watch it for yourself, here, it's on KZfaq, just look" is virtually unbelievable but who knows. A NuStarwars spaceball Trilogy would be absolutely brilliant, especially right now with most of the spin offs flopping like pancakes at ihop or being scrapped altogether. There's so much material now to run with that I really wish they would. Probably be better than the original prequels. Just imagine Jar Jar as the Sith Lord, they'd have to put that in.

I mean the title IS the last plinkett review.

That's exactly how I feel. The new trilogy is the biggest wasted opportunity in the history of cinema.

Indoctrination Theory They didn't just blow it, they crashed into a fucking iceberg and sank with all souls lost. So few people are hyped for the next one its sad. Ive already been through this with Halo, I didnt need it to happen to Star Wars.

Indoctrination Theory Completely and utterly false.

The droids appear way too much as cameos

The Reality Bin But what if Lando DOESN’T die? Seriously, Star Wars fans have no clue what they want despite claims to the contrary. They will also NEVER be happy with ANY Star Wars thing regardless of quality.

I'm confused. Rich Evans wasn't in this. Though I did like the part where Rian Johnson subverted my expectations and spilled wine on the table.

You should see his impersonation of Kerschner; it's indistinguishable from his impersonation of Dan O'Bannon.

Because he's fat, short and diabetic, like 95% of all directors.

Because he has Rian's perfectly round potato head.

i was like half asleep when i first saw this and thought it was really rian johnson for a second

The Other Point Of View // Yeah but at least they’re good-looking.

Probably wasn’t supposed to be. Finn looked uncomfortably surprised like the audience was.

Nameless Jedi then what the hell was the point of it

The Other Point Of View that one was honestly worse. At least Finn and Rose were kind of friends, not two people trying to murder each other. It makes sense for Rose to feel some attraction toward Finn. It makes absolutely no sense for Kylo and Rey to like each other

Does anyone else feel that speech was really hypocritical and insincere? A speech on the evils of the "1%" in a Disney movie of all places does not feel like preaching, it feels like Rian was gloating.

@@BelfryHex that's a lot of tearing to do. Could we speed up the process and burn it?

Yeah, the rich people casino that clearly keeps slaves and poor folk to do their all their work are really going to be hurting now that you busted up their windows and tables. It's not like they are going to just force their workers to fix it all while they go party elsewhere.

+Ryan Oleynik That's exactly what i thought. "We really made a difference". No you fucking didn't. They're rich. They'll just buy anything they need to replace and just take it out on the poor workers. Hell, they could just hire some poachers to catch those creatures.

what about the ＴＨΣＭΣＳ

Cards Against Humanity reference right?

d b Except TLJ was clearly not a failure.

You put step 4 in at step 3. Step 3 should be: Step 3: ???

@@dvader518 Because it had the Star Wars brand attached to it. The success of Episode IX will more accurately reflect what kind of mark TLJ left. Or alternatively, Solo's results painted a pretty grim picture.

It does reflects society now, where people usually cares more about animals in general than humans.

ironically being a good microcosm of how performative the whole scene was in the first place.

Yeah the whole Cantobite casino thing was overlong and pointless and because of its structure you couldn’t cut it out of the film. Its what makes this movie overly long. Its like this episode of the movie Rian Johnson wanted his PETA anti cruelty towards animals statement.

See, it was a clever ruse by Mr. Johnson : you would expect them to liberate the enslaved kids, so he subverted your expectations. You did it again Disney! Such brilliance

Add to that that She and Finn illegally parked, and were legally arrested for it( which, while harsh, seems too be the local law), then decide to commit further crimes by assaulting officers of the law, breaking out of jail, stealing private property( the animals) and destruction of private/ public property. Then THEY feel superior to everyone ( as they escape, leaving , possibly, enslaved children to clean up their mess).

That's sad, because all I want is a Star Wars movie that surprises me.

@@doomstadt2371 well congratulations, because they’re all surprisingly bad !

@@21DaHoagie12 Not anymore. Anybody who continues watching Disney Star Wars is willfully ignorant of the fact they will always produce nothing above corporate garbage.

😂

@@doomstadt2371 if you genuinely wanted to be surprised, watch Empire. After about 2 of the big “gotcha!” moments, none of them actually surprised me because I knew that Rian was just going to do the opposite of what made sense. You see, there’s a difference between surprising people and defying logic. When people expect one thing to happen, it’s usually because it’s the next logical step. A movie being predictable at the very start isn’t good, but if you can guess what the characters are about to do most of the time by the time you reach the end, that’s probably just because it makes sense for them to do that. Near the end of Empire, the moment Luke finds out about his friends being in danger, you instantly know that Luke is going to go after them and is not going to listen to Yoda’s advice because that’s the kind of person Luke is. Him leaving Yoda to go save his friends is exactly what Luke Skywalker at that point in the trilogy would do as established by previous scenes. It makes sense that he would do that, and thus him doing that isn’t the movie being predictable, it’s the audience being smart enough to understand what kind of person Luke is and being able to rationally predict his next course of action. Audiences aren’t stupid, and it isn’t a failure of a director if they get to a point where they can guess where the plot will go on decently short notice. Rian Johnson just does the opposite of what makes sense in terms of characters and in terms of logic. Holdo is blatantly a terrible leader who is trying to string along everyone with her based on blind faith in a plan she refuses to tell anyone. No good leader would ever conceal that much information from their subordinates in a time of crisis. Teaching people that they should just follow whatever the leaders say because they’re smarter than the people they command is an awful lesson. So the reveal that Holdo actually did have a plan the whole time isn’t a plot twist, it’s defying logic. Same goes for nearly every other major “subversion” in this stupid movie. They get predictable after two of them because you can just predict that whatever is going to happen is the opposite of what would logically happen.

Rian Johnson: i fear no man...but that thing(picture if Rich Evans) It scares me

And right he was to fear them cos they just blasted his ass.

Was that one of his 20 thousand tweets he deleted after James Gunn's disgusting attempts at humor were thrust into the spot light?

Wait, did he actually say that?

One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?

No, he was just subverting our expectations

I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now

Let's all congratulate Mike Stoklasa for his amazing restraint.

I asked Rian once for a Birthday Present and I gave him a list of awesome things... but all I got from him was Underwear and it wasnt even the right size. Expectations successfully subverted. (of course this never happened, but you get the idea)

Drink just a little real liquor (a wee bit o' ethanol) so you don't also die of methyl-alcohol poisoning.

When Rian Johnson’s hotel I was staying at caught fire, I rushed to the emergency fire exit door. But instead of seeing a fire exit, Rian in a chicken costume was behind the door and whacked me with a mallet. I got a mild concussion and failed to escape without getting horribly burned, but at least my expectations were definitely subverted.

When I asked Rian Johnson for a good movie he took a dump in my mouth. But then he gave me a mint condition directors cut of Doctor Strangelove signed by Stanley Kubrick so I don’t know what to think anymore.

Hopefully for your sake that was before the release of this movie

No one ever imagined a film worse than the prequels could be made, but Rian Johnson somehow managed it. Aspects of the prequels are just as bad/inferior as TLJ, but George was at least always playing to the fanbase and throwing the audience a few bones. As stated in this review, lack of drama and tension completely kills the film. Even the prequels had some of that.

All according to plan.

@@NexusVerbal At least the prequels were identifiable as actual Star Wars movies. Say what you want about the movies themselves but they had the inventiveness and warmth that Disney Star Wars lacks.

George Lucas all according to keikaku

El-ahrairah For now. With Solo flopping (actually losing money for the firdt time in franchise history), we'll see how things will go.

It almost seems if they are connected, the story and the special effects. If one gets better, the other gets worse.

@Just Saying to me battlestar galactica (the remake) is the show with the best combination of story and effects. Just imagine what awesome stuff could be made with current year effects and a proper script. All the wasted potential is making me very sad.

Because the special effects artists just followed the orders! (I have purple hair, btw.)

Because one only requires skill and the other requires skill + imagination. Disney, as a big corp, limits how much imagination is allowed to be used, so it's less likely the film will flop. They go by the lowest common denominator, because it's still better to have a shitty bland film than a shitty experimental film, as far as profits go.

These effects are just green screen and cgi, literally (and I mean literally in the literal sense lol) to a much greater degree than the Prequels ever had. I honestly just would like consistency lol. Not saying you weren't at all but where's all the hate for these effects nowdays? Do we now like these kind of effects? Idc either way, it does nothing for me but I'd like to know if people still have the same criticisms

Ruin

I feel like that’s a joke that Bill Hicks would actually make, good job friend.

Yeah, I hated that part.

Rian is just a pawn in this. Disney made this film bizarre and awkward. They didn’t just say “Hey, let’s give the director of Looper five hundred million dollars to turn our biggest franchise into a snarky artistic statement.” The prequels were a HUGE financial success. They want to emulate aspects of the prequels, without pissing off too many fat 32 year olds. Kids don’t like The Hero’s Journey anymore. They like cynical ADD spectacles. They like big words that make them feel smart. They like creatures that remind them of Pokémon. Lucas was a god-damn prophet...

Actually Mr. Hicks, they named him Brian. But he was such a pretentious little shit he dropped the B.

can Plinkett make the next star wars movie?

So we blow that one up....

It so true. Sometimes I'll watch a movie and things just don't seem right. Later I'll realize what I saw made absolutely no sense.

Exactly my thoughts... then, I watched Palpie's geometric Star Destroyer army and that fucking beacon, which relegated Space Leia to place two.

If the refrigerator wasn’t bouncing around and it was inside a cave .. I could at least accept that!

@@arthurballs9632 If you are entertained by unbelievable stupidity! BTW, if you closed yourself in a refrigerator at that time, you would not be able to open it from the inside, and would suffocate to death! They also were not made of lead, so he would die from radiation or cancer within a year!!

to be fair, Indiana Jones also jumped out of an airplane in an inflatable dingy, landed on the side of a snowy mountain and X-Gamed his way to safety... At some point you just have to accept goofy action in a goofy action movie. Part of the problem is that grown adults consider this shit as "serious" when it was originally produced decades ago when they were kids. That's not to excuse any warts in TLJ, which was plenty clunky in general... But goofy and never very well defined force powers leading to a goofy outcome shouldn't be surprising. Jedi can run real fast and jump real high right until the screenwriters figure it would be more dramatic if they couldn't. The whole house of cards collapses after a few seconds of critical thought. It can't be pinned on a given moment in a given film, it's death by 1,000 tiny cuts.

@Make You Seethe Well of course, they are both silly movies that aren't grounded in reality. I think we're on the same page, as that's the main point of my comment... A lot fans hold up Leia doing her goofball Peter Pan moves in space as being dumb or Indy hiding in the refrigerator as being dumb.... But those same people never seemed to have much of an issue with the Ewok hang glider or Indy using a rubber dingy as a parachute. My point was these things were always goofy... but it didn't seem to bother people 30 or 40 years ago... only now is all this shit dumb.

Yeah but he said that about Rogue One and Plinkett was just wildly wrong.

The Last Jedi will be studied in film classes around the world as an example of terrible film-making.

Sleeping is great

Michael P Statement: At this point I solved the sequel problem for myself and bought the original Trilogy about Thrawn from the 1990s. Read it and realized that I have sequels that way. I also don’t care what meatbags call canon.

On top of that, some time has passed since the events of ANH, so they at least knew each other for a couple of years.

Almost as bad as the deleted scenes from Empire. To be fair.

@mickor it was like an episode of rebels another shit Disney star wars

About 75% of the movie is painful, if you think about how jarring and uneven the tone of the movie is, and how poorly the plot is structured. I can see a good concept of "Historically great Jedi becomes disillusioned and has to overcome his mistakes", combined with "stern chase movie where the Reb-sistance barely stays ahead of the First Order"... But it gets lost in "silly casino escapades", "Admiral Holdo My Beer, I can be a bigger hothead than Poe and cause more problems", and "Big Climactic Battle BECAUSE SYMBOLISM!".

@@mfaure420 In Rise of Skywalker, someone suggests performing Holdo's suicide hyperspace ram maneuver again to save them, but it is quickly shot down as a one in a million chance of success. So Holdo berating Poe for taking bad odds to try and save everyone is hypocritical with that knowledge if her last ditch plan was also a shot in the dark.

@@vashoom Holdo was an insanely stupid character throughout TLJ, so being a hypocrite fits in with that. In regards to hyperspace ramming, there was nothing that any writer could have done to make that bullshit fit into Star Wars. Rian Johnson just randomly decided to do the hyperspace ram, with zero fucks given towards how much it would break everything else. I have no issues with hyperspace ramming being discarded with a single sentence "one in a million" , because there is nothing else that could be said about it.

I've watched readings of My Little Pony fanfics better scripted than Last Jedi. And I feel like I'm insulting the MLP Fanfics by making that comparison. Last Jedi is the FFX of movies, because Final Fantasy X was a highly ambitious deconstruction that had its big story get lost behind flashy visuals and poor scripting.

Shenaldrac ... You have a good point that I'm insulting Final Fantasy X by comparing it to the Last Jedi in that manner. Well I did not like Final Fantasy X, and I could not connect with the characters at all, after all these years from playing it I can admit that I see why people love it so much. I apologize for insulting Final Fantasy X by that comparison. I will make it a point to make my comparison more nuanced from now on, pointing out that Final Fantasy X does have a coherent story that goes from beginning to end. Which just makes the Last Jedi that much more sad in the end. Also on a random Final Fantasy X related note: I figured out the big twist with the final summon the absolute first time that term was mentioned. That's a major reason why the game did not connect with me. But yeah, there is a significant difference in the need for nuance there.

Rainn Wilson to replace Rian as director, one letter difference in first name and their last names end in son

No no no... Rich Evans is Plinkett's bastard son while george lucas is his long lost brother. The Plinkett family tree in only now opening up. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS (TRASH)!

"Selling Yugioh cards online... Or war I guess?"

Just seeing those made my body and soul hurt. People who act like this level of "comedy" was always in Star Wars films really need to watch those scenes.

Rian Johnson would have made a great Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy film.

Rian Johnson might be able to make a good Seltzerberg/Movie Movie film though.

Oh fuck yeah. Rian Johnson has the same sense of humor as an 8 y/o

Josh Ryan Johnson directed Ozymandias the most dramatic episode of Breaking Bad so show the man some respect.

Well it was nessecary for the plot. The problem is how much of it he included

And that whole thing was completely pointless

@@kylecampbell565 was a save the animals side plot necessary where in they likely got a slave child punishment for something beyond his control?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha Ha. That is pretty funny bra.

Yep, hilarious how different people look different?

@De Profundis Broooooooo... Asian is, like, a swear word. 😳 I was gaming and I said the "a-word" and my grandma, well, she just started beating the shit out of me with a broken-off chair leg. I was crying soo loudly, my neighbor came to check if I was okay and my grandma made me tell him that I feel. then I shit my pants. 🥺😭😭😭 So, like, don't say that word omg. 😬😏😵😳😔🤠🥺😲 EDIT: OMG SORRY. the word was ANUS, not ASIAN. My bad. 😳 Sorry, plz no bully, I'm special Ed. 👈😏👈 Cock and ball torture

Just a suit with no tie, the official uniform of Hollywood morons

@@IJustAteYourGrapesBro No, the joke that went way over your head was that Rich Evans looks like Rian Johnson.

me too

Did you click on this because it was The Last Jedi, or did you click on it in spite of that because it was a Plinkett review? I wouldn't exactly call you a liar if it was the latter...

Me also! I don't agree with the hate/criticism of TLJ and Rian Johnson, but I love Red Letter Media reviews

@@fusionfountain yeah I agree. Its nice that big studios are giving indie filmmakers the chance to realise their dreams, but at the same time it does seem somewhat irresponsible, given the budget and complexity of such a task.

Taika Waititi is an indie director and he did great with Thor Ragnarok. Rian Johnson unfortunately failed with The Last Jedi.

Quite honestly every plot my friends came up with when we went to eat after watching this were better than the film, and they all were just off the top of people's heads.

You can't have the hero join someone who is literally worse than Hitler.

@@Arroweast What? Yes, you can? There isn't a rule stating in fiction that the hero can't turn evil. That's exactly what Anikin did in the prequels. He was once a hero then joined Sidious (a character even more evil than Kylo). Besides, Ben wasn't entirely gone yet. There's a chance that Rey could've helped Kylo go back to being Ben and change the 1st Order from the inside. That would've been interesting to watch unfold.

the last jedi should have ended with them getting married. If we're serious about subverting expectations

@@stivklif Why not ? They marry then they dominate the galaxy as an imperial family that have the monopoly on the force , the next movie would be about the rebels desperately trying to overthrow them without any force users or jedi masters .

Yet somehow, that short clip was more entertaining than TLJ itself. I hope Rich never changes.

"Haha, betcha weren't expecting that! I also bet you weren't expecting me to poop my pants while doing it, but I totally did! Ha, gotcha!"

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

fuck off, he didn't even taste the wine before he accepted it, where's the realism.

Clockwork could someone explain that part to me pls I didnt understand it

That OTHER series that's all about family .. has better writing and a more realistic and thoughtful plots.. Of course I'm talking about The Fast and The Furious.

Nono! we cant have villain women characters! the only "evil" woman in the movie is hidden away in armor and helmet. and she never really does anything that evil.

When you're a bad writer, you can only hit on good characterization by accident. Whatever you _try_ to do you fail at.

That would be great. It's time for this whole thing to die. In fact it was about 20 years ago

Tadicuslegion78 Correction: green milk

Tadicuslegion is referring to the blue milk in Episode IV.

Dan Hauer And he is referring to the green milk in Episode VIII.

Nah, prequels were waaaaaay worse!

You star wars fans are so pathetic

This is sadder than anything in the sequel trilogy.

He killed himself after watching the Rise Of Skywalker

Mike's Plinkett has pretty much always sounded like a tipsied version of Mike to me...

With every drink your journey towards the Plinkett side WILL BE COMPLETE

@@veteran0121 he used to have more of an east coast thing going on.

RJ says, “The only thing i would really want is a good movie that delights me in ways i didnt expect.” Hey jackass, the problem is all the changes you made were distasteful and unbelievable. Its not the fact that you made changes, it’s the end result. Let me give u a food analogy that even Gordan Ramsey would agree with, becuz if you know anything about the upper echelons of cooking, it’s about making the dish better, not changing it for worse for the sake of it. Thats like if a chef wanted to make a delicious new dish at a beloved restaurant, so his bright idea is to take a favorite recipe and degrade it by changing what made it great in the first place and replacing it with the exact opposite, instead of trying to contribute to it which helps it reach another level (which is what all great chefs do, they ENHANCE IT by adding their own twist to a dish, they dont try to reinvent the fckin wheel becuz there’s a time and place for everything, genius!) Thats NOT what the owner asked for, the owner asked to make a known dish BETTER. He didnt ask to make a NEW dish with the same frckin name to try to fool customers. Why? Cuz thats not what the customers want, thats not why they keep coming back to this restaurant, so they can be tricked. They came to eat delicious food from a restaurant they know damm well, and whether its an old or new menu, it better be good for the same reason. So when it ends up tasting bad, he blames his favorite customers that it’s because it’s not what they’re used to and they dont have an open mind. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. In fact, a favorite customer, who is a big fan of the restaurant, is not only open to something new, they welcome it because they love the food there and would be excited to hear there’s a new, delicious dish, BUT TO A CERTAIN DEGEE- CHANGES THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE FLAVOR, MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. NOT THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT MAKES IT GOOD, NOT THE OTHER END OF THE FCKIN SPECTRUM. But then, when it tastes bad because it’s something that shouldnt even be sold in that restaurant, you blame the customer??? if you go to a delicious burger spot that wants to try something new, they should give you a new and different type of burger, not a shitty sushi roll. and? THE CUSTOMERS WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. THE OWNER WOULD BLAME THE CHEF. Yet the chef has the audacity to say the customers are a buncha “man-babies” ? What an idiot.

Hear, hear!

Haha

The last jedi should have been 2 hours and 30 minutes shorter

totally, i had that exact same thought with that exact runtime, one of the problems of the movie is that is too long, an experienced director would have know where to edit the movie and to know where is dragging, the finn and rose subplot should have never left the cutting floor, awful in many ways, and the ships chase should have been cut to the minimum, really boring, just because they make a 2 hours and a half movie does not mean that is automatically gonna give that "epic" feeling

She looked suicidal, don't think she's actually been seen by anyone since the movie released....

Do you think that she knew her job was over at that point?

Remember, if you didn't like TLJ, you're an angry white male who can't stand strong female characters.

@@Kesslerification Honestly, I think Kennedy's inner monolouge was running along the lines of, "If the tripe this SNAG is writing sells, I've done my job and so be it."

@@joncurzon5938 Probably waiting out the hatemail and death threats.

It's not like we have astromech specifically designed for this..

Don’t worry about Holdo after all “No one is ever really gone”

Why did I get a notification for this? Did i comment something that was deleted?

@@nailmontana1993 idk why. I liked Kyle Campbell's comment, dunno why you'd get a notification about that. This is your first comment in the thread that I can see though.

@@kylecampbell565 I wish Holdo did come back in the Rise of Skywalker, and when others ask how she survived she'd say: "My hair is a path to many abilities some would find... unnatural"

@@ikoandreas5085 The Mandalorian was pretty great, I agree 😉

@@sorryifoldcomment8596 Can you clarify your meaning with that response?

Star Wars was declining before the original trilogy even ended. That's why we got teddy bears defeating the Empire.

@@gremlin66n I think he meant George Lucas was one of the people behind it, as many of his ideas were reimagined, brought to the right tone, or even tossed aside altogether by the rest of the creative team, whereas in the prequels you can see Lucas unbridled and it shows.

That's honestly how I view Star Wars. Star Wars is 3 awesome films and nothing more to me.

So realistic

Sean Knight Damn that was brutal...did you help write Green Room? 😁

This was me. I loved the movie at first, and then I ended up hating it a month after watching after seriously thinking about the movie again.

Nailed it, I was loving the movie but as soon as it ended, something felt off and I couldn't place it, my girlfriend asked me what I thought of it and I said something like "it was good, but..." and then about 10 minutes later after I had sorta talked through I realized how horrible it was.

you forgot the part where you blacked out and got molested by a gang of clowns

Turns out that the New Order is like, super lax with the shaving profiles.

Colloquially known as "bumping" the viewer

u r it’s when you feel like something is wrong, but you can’t exactly explain what is wrong or why it’s wrong. In other words on a subconscious level you’re aware something doesn’t make sense.

+Reckful-For awhile, I though it was Ree-an, not Ryan. . . I was even going to give him the benefit of the doubt and wondered if he was Irish. . .Nope. . .dude is a Maryland native. . .So, even that little "interesting" piece about him I originally thought was all wrong. . . Some fun little tidbits. . .He directed a few episodes of Breaking Bad. . .Plinkett's joke about him being a folk singer wasn't just some throwaway joke about how he looks like a pretensious hipster folk singer.. . .He is actually IS a folk singer. . .And a banjo player apparently. . .He is part of a duo with his brother Nathan called The Preserves. . . So. . .there is that. . .

Not only that, but by people who actively despise them. And it's clear that they do.

wow, true...

And said animals will more than likely just be recaptured making that whole scene pointless..

Yeah they stop at like 1km from the city... It amounts to bringing a little momentary chaos and get some children beaten bloody... Yeaaaaaah... -_-'

SolarDragon007 Probably because the sad reality is that it’s easier and more satisfying for many to go that route instead of actually trying to help the enslaved, poor or middle-class.

Is'nt that a theme in star wars though, that noone cares about slaves? I remember Anakin asking Qui-gon Gin about freedom for himself and his mom and Qui-gon is like nope, I won't be doing anything like that. And even later, when they are working for royalty and probably has all the money a little slave boy can carry, neither of them go back to get Anakins mom. Too busy hitting the bars, drinking and snorting kyber crystal I guess....

That character is a complete farce and nothing but annoying from beginning to end.

I was FULLY expecting that

It subverts your expectations that's whats so clever about it

Expectations were subverted when it wasn’t a black screen

@@ADeadlierSnake they've actually done it a few times after that so...yeah

@@ADeadlierSnake so they'll probably keep uploading those kinds of vids and then deleting later on. No sense of keeping those kinds of videos so none of the subscribers will come back to watch the video, unless they enjoy getting trolled repeatedly and intentionally

There's only one business in the galaxy that will get you this rich. Yeah, "Space Walmart". If you want profits, military tech will put food on the table, but it can't compare to interplanetary department stores.
