![]() ![]() While the media and other social justice figure heads continue to push the narrative of it being a phenomenal movie, Disney decided that Rose would not be a part of the next installment. If a good gauge on how a movie is received is based on the sales numbers, then “The Last Jedi” DVD and Blu-Ray sales should be an indicator that people didn’t like it. When DVD and Blu-Ray sales numbers were released in June of 2018, the sales rate of the movie was half that of the previous Star Wars episode, “The Force Awakens,” a 57% drop comparatively. And it showed in the numbers posthumously.Īfter two years, Rotten Tomatoes still believes in the movie, as authorized critics gave this movie a 91 percent. The feature is riddled with an ultra feminist narrative, and basically bent the universe and all the laws therein to support the starring women in the movie. New fans who appreciated the last six movies felt a wave of confusion without understanding the lore that was already established. The movie also turned Rey into a “Mary Sue,” who apparently needed no training in the ways of the Force, and even bested Luke flippin’ Skywalker, who took down the Empire. There is a lot of talk about how Luke Skywalker was bastardized into a useless, old, powerless recluse, and not presented as the Jedi Master he should be known for. It is typical that after the release of “The Last Jedi” that fans, both old and new, cringe at this movie. Long time Star Wars fans feel a shiver up their spine, as the movie is a slap in the face at some of their beloved characters. Cinematics aside, the scene plays out fully in an apparent ridiculous nature and hailed Rose as a hero. In typical Rian Johnson fashion, the “subversion” card is played, yet again, and Rose instead plows into Finn at the last second and then drops the line after all is said and done. With a lackluster kiss, Rose passes out as the walkers approach. Finn, in an act of heroism, makes a kamikaze run at the First Order’s weapon, a laser battering ram that is as powerful as the Death Star. It would have been a fantastic character development moment for Finn to give his life for the cause of the Resistance, so that Leia and the rest could survive. That particular quote was during the final act of the movie, when the First Order encroaches upon the remnants of the Resistance. Saving what we love.” Now, if you heard that line, you would know that it came from Rose Tico, one of the most questionable characters in the Star Wars universe, other than Jar Jar Binks. If you don’t know Rose Tico, she’s the token Asian female character in the new Star Wars sequels, most notably recognized in the Rian Johnson subversion film fail known as “The Last Jedi,” Episode Nine of the new Disney Star Wars trilogy. ![]() “That’s how we’re gonna win.
