Preview: The Other last jedi video
I'm pretty hype to get this video done because it's a lot of stuff I've been wanting to say. I don't top that Snoke joke at the beginning though
This preview is 7 minutes, a little longer than usual because based on the sheer volume of the raw footage I think the finished product will be like 30 minutes! aahhhhh

Now since I'm focusing on it, how the hell did Jenny manage to hide her entire body and a staff behind the big Porg in the corner of her bed?????????
It Big
I would sign up for your Fandom Psychology Seminar. I'd even bring snacks! Looking forward to the full video!
Although I grew up with the original Star Wars (I was 7 in 1977) and have followed it all my life, I consider myself more of a casual fan that doesn't take the movies too seriously. That being said, I walked out of Last Jedi thinking "Wow! What a fun movie all around!" There was some stuff I loved, some stuff I thought was just "ok" but overall really enjoyed it. I was SHOCKED when I saw so many people going batshit crazy into hating it. I don't get it. Put me in the camp of liking all the Star Wars movies Disney has put out so far and looking forward to more. I have a feeling I'm going to very much like the full version of this video! :)
Fans had expectations regarding the mysteries of the film and were upset that their fan theories were wrong. Fans also are picking the film apart so much that if the same level of criticism were applied to the original trilogy, they wouldn't like those movies either. You gotta ignore the noise to stay sane as a Star Wars fan. :)
"Mean Jedi prep school kid" is now my favorite rendition of Kylo Ren.
Or should I say Ren-dition
I'm a casual fan who really liked TLJ, even the Finn/Rose thing which turned into a shaggy dog story. More of their interaction, rather than that rich planet. I think with Snoke I would have liked to have seen his backstory, simply because I'm still not sure how the first order came about. Maybe it's in a secondary media somewhere? I just watch the films, so it's never been explained. But other than explaining why the First Order exists there is no need for Snoke to be anyone or anything. I view this second trilogy similar to the Crisis of the Third Century of the Roman Empire where like emperors like Pupienus came into power after the previous emperor ruled for 21 days, and then 3 months later he was assassinated, Balbinus takes over and he only lasts three months too. There's this big bad empire still ruling a large, er, empire, but inside it is a vacuum of powerful men betraying each other. Snoke didn't have much personality, though I did enjoy the fact he was another mentor figure who had no respect for Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren is at least interesting. He's a wildcard and whether he redeems himself or goes fully to the dark side you know that his story simply cannot end without heartache.
For this trilogy, I could do without a Snoke backstory. If one does come about in a future book, series, or unnecessary standalone film, then I’m all in for that. The way I saw it, Snoke maybe had very little respect for Kylo Ren. I just wouldn’t say none at all. I think he was just a cranky old dude who was ready for Kylo Ren to carry out his vision. I feel like he knew exactly what was coming when he said “Point it at your true enemy.” That was his way of being like, “Alright, I’ve been sitting in this chair forever and this dude seems ready to take charge. I’ll coax him into killing me so he’ll feel like a big boy. The galaxy will be all, ‘Wait, Kylo Ren did WHAT NOW!? I guess he means business.’ He’ll finish what I started. Then, hooray! First Order party!” Put slightly more eloquently though.
Solid points so far. Looking forward to the full video. I’m still on the fence about whether I liked TLJ or not and need to see it a second time. I hope you talked about the Canto Bight scenes and DJ. I haven’t heard anyone make a convincing argument for them yet and I feel like that’s where my biggest issues were.
And in case you read that, I didn’t like Rogue One.
