What fucking privileges does this fucker have to not have test screenings for a billion+ dollar budget star wars film?

Fuck test screenings.

he wrote brick and directed brick which is actually a really good movie, as well as looper which is like half of a good one :)

>Which is better, Gonorrhea or HIV?

Is this true? How in the world was Disney OK with releasing a tent pole movie without any testing? That's fucking crazy.

>as well as looper which is like half of a good one :)
lol no

He directed it. He didn't write it.

I'm just better than you.

>after the force awakens
Literally how?

Rian Johnson did what no one else had the balls to do: He destroyed Star Wars as a publicly liked IP and ended any chance of any further cashcow shit with it. Talking about Star Wars is seen as cringe now, and I thank him for it.

The Force Awakens was really good at pulling the wool over a lot of people's eyes?

>and ended any chance of any further cashcow shit with it
Or so he thought.

The Phantom Menace. It's a genuinely decent movie.

That's okay, he set the stage for what happened afterwards. He gave J.J., a known hack, a story that he couldn't hack his way out of. The Last Jedi almost looks competent compared to Rise of Skywalker. Not even baby yoda can stop that.

I think Hollywood gave up on producing quality content a long time ago. Who gives a fuck about a test screening, if the film is shit who cares, they think we're morons who will eat it up anyway.

Total bullshit. He just said that to cover his own ass. He has stated lots of times that he wants to make movies that people hate and that audiences shouldn't get what they want.
Also
>could've ruined it
It was already ruined you autistic contrarian pseudointellectual.

It's a power play for Filoni and Favreau to look even better by comparison. Any less than good stuff in their show was overshadowed by how bad JJ's tire fire was.

>a 4 billion dollar investment
>decades of storytelling

its been its own thing for so long already, no single man can bring it down anymore

Best episodes were in season 1 and 2

He made that Looper movie with Shia Labeouf and Bruce Willis.

Rise of Skywalker is a significantly better film, and a redemptive, poetic ending to the series.

Phantom Menace. It had some cool scenes and at least half of it made sense.

Kathleen Kennedy apparently has the brain of a turnip and will do literally anything a director tells her.

Not always, she fired Gareth Edwards and messed up the tone of Rogue One

Gonorrhea, hands down.
Penicillin shot, boom. fixed.
The sores don't even hurt, which is the weirdest part.

ROTS is like having a funeral for an aunt you lost touch with. You remember she used to be a lot of fun, but later you really didn't know her anymore. And she became nuts in the end...
* sob *

disney spent more time thinking about bb8 and kylo's lightsaber designs than any kind of plot, and in fairness it probably worked out for them financially. rian, do whatever the fuck you want, make sure there's star wars noises, toy opportunities and no gore, everything else is up to you

It's weird, she meddled and micromanaged the enjoyable side movies but let the main trilogy go to shit.

Jew

Star Wars: Holiday Special is the best Star Wars movie ever.

wtf I didn't know Rian was this based

You're half right but you're dead wrong she'll do anything a director says, more like Rian is such an asslicker he let her put in every stupid idea she wanted without any care for how bad it fucked everything up. When someone like Trevorrow, Lord/Millar or Edwards tried to have an independent thought and tell her that her idea was fucking stupid she screeched and had them fired. Rian just nodded his head like a good dumbass and let her lose a billion dollars between the first movie and the last. Seriously, a billion dollars, its insane to even wrap your head around, a motherfucking BILLION, in the year Endgame became the highest grossing ever, just gone.

Bullshit, she shitcanned Collin when he tried to give Rey an actual struggle for half a second.

Dude they had Harvey Corman money and Harvey Corman.
How could it fail?

Shit I forgot about Trevorrowowowow

there have been 12 films and over two thirds are actively bad. i'm honestly impressed the franchise has remained relevant. it's not even nostalgia because as much as there are loads of remakes and reboots they don't make bank like star wars nor do they get as many chances

>Fun fact; both The Last Jedi and The Phantom Menace were shot based on first draft
I don't believe this is true for either movie. maybe if you use an extremely loose definition of "first draft"
>Which one do you think is the better movie?
one gave us pod racing and darth maul. the other gave us a bunch of weird, boring retcons - several of which had to be further retconned by the next movie.

Perhaps you have opened up the golden path. Start someone new to Star War with the holiday special. Thereby you adjust expectations accordingly and then BAM... The OT.

If we're ranking the Holiday Special then you have to include the underrated Ewok films

Test audiences do ruin the creative vision for a movie, it becomes more of "what points do we want to hit" instead of someone's vision. TLJ was complete trash, but making movies through test audiences and boardrooms ruins a lot of movies.

The Empire Strikes Back
The Return of the Jedi

Sup Rian?

The phantom menace by far. It has a lot of memorable moments and scenes. The last Jedi is completely forgettable and boring.

it definitely isn't true for last jedi, we know things were in earlier drafts like no rose and poe going with finn to casino planet

Underrated
