SPOILER THREAD - The Last Jedi

[Ralph Wiggum]

Obviously Disney was sold on the pitch and vision Rian gave for The Last Jedi. You don’t need sci fi experience to make a sci fi movie. Clearly they cared more for the story and themes. Star Wars isn’t even sci fi, its a space fantasy.

Disney have had an awesome run in picking relatively unknown directors with a limited experience with big blockbusters. Look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the Russo Brothers (Captain America 2 & 3), James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Taika Waititi (Thor 3).

If every studio played it safe, we’d get Spielberg, Nolan, Bay (j/k), Ridley, Howard, Del Toro et al directing all the good stuff.

Well...story was off if thats was the main goal, it is the actually the main issue where people are not happy. The special effect looks great. And here's the thing, its just proven you do need the experience in order to do Star Wars. But anyway, thats done and dusted.

Marvel was a success is because the characters stay true to what they are, but I am sure some have agreed the latest spiderman is a bit off in terms of story.
Nolan wasn't anything super, he was actually taking the best out of the comic and making it real for his Batman series, thats why it worked and when you look at Justice League, it miles apart because the tone of the movie is totally different. pretty sure if they made Captain America a girl might screwed things up.
