This review will either make or break his legacy... He can afford to go at this with kid gloves.
Lets be real mike will 70 before another star wars movie hits. And after initially praising JJ and Disney's Nu Wars so hard with TFA.. This is his responsibility. Can he pull it off?

its just a review, faggot
His magnum opus was episode three. There has been a decline ever since.
who cares? instead let's start more rumors!
It doesn't matter TLJ was his one chance and thats done now. If he does it RoS review it will be even worse than his TFA review with his shitty 30 minute attempt to "debunk" the ring theory
>Can he pull it off?
He probably hanged himself after watching the last episode of Picard, Verokita doesn't exist, is fake footage for a fake review done years ago, that's why Jay looks younger.
of course I am joking
>mr. plinkett
He'll just spend the majority of the review riffing the Prequels again & go soft on the Sequel Trilogy because RLM willingly pardons the Jews. Hackfraudmedia is better.
they already shit on it at length, what could a plinkett review really add?
Kek
He doesn't care about star wars. Go watch the ghostbusters review, it's the best one since Episode 3.
are people really expecting a plinkett review? its obvious mike is done with plinkett last one sucked and prob partly on purpose so people shut up about plinkett.
I got a magnum I'll put in your o-puss
The fact that his videos are aping the plinkett format and character make them painful to get through
fat stoklasa has been pulling his punches on the sequels since the beginning because the realization that the prequels weren't bad and disney's garbage fanfiction is infinitely worse would render him meaningless in the sphere of already irrelevant internet film criticism
It's not surprising that the same people who attack the prequels are always unversed in real film or anything artistic, and that the people who praise the prequels (Zizek, Paglia, Brody, etc) are always literate, educated, and versed in real film.

The fact that everyone points to Plinkett as the authority on why the prequels are bad speaks volumes. Mike Stoklasa is one of the least artistic people on the planet - he can't process movies outside of the conventions of Hollywood films, his approach to narrative is tempered with the same surface-level requisites listed on tvtropes.
Any complaint that people have about the prequels illustrates a weak grasp on film. How many art films would they claim has 'too much sitting and talking'? They would watch the end of Breaking the Waves and whine about dated CGI. Their sensibilities for 'good dialogue' in what is intentionally pulp comes from bad pulp, ie, the original Star Wars, the only pulp they've ever seen. They would similarly view any homage-driven art film and miss the entire point.
Lucas' only mistake in the prequels was doing something daring, original, artistic and literate, not realizing that the manchildren conditioned by the original SW trilogy to loathe anything cerebral would lash out against his cinematic risks.
This. The only rise of skywalker review you'll get from rlm is going to be the half in the bag. Notice how it's called "70 minute rise of skywalker review" and then we had "the last plinkett review."
Plinkett is done, they can barely even do skits in half in the bag.
He probably doesn't have the passion or drive. But if he did he could easily make a 2 hour review that tears apart every single aspect of the film, in a way that puts his prequel reviews to shame.
Based
It will be him desperately try and shift blame away from him on helping to ruin Star Wars and shit on the prequels.
There is zero point in continuing. It's not 2011 anymore. Everyone is ironic and snarky now. Everyone is scrambling to make long-form "comedic" video essays about all the newest blockbusters they don't like. There's nothing they can add to the discussion about new movies outside of what they say in their normal show besides some dumb piss and shit gags.
I’m more excited for Hackfraudmedia’s video honestly
I'm a /lit/ retard, I don't fucking know anything so please forgive me. I started watching RLM because of the Picard re:view and even though I am kind of aware I am ten years too late to the party, I like it. I've watched a few reviews where they had MacCaulay Culkin as a guest, is that the norm? Do they have other celebrity guest reviews? Thanks in advance
Same. Theres nothing more cringy than a fucktard aping Plinketts format. Come up with something new. Plinkett is barely funny anymore.
One thing I noticed why do they have kid sized helmets?
Nobody is going to like his RoS review. Plinkett (and RLM in general) are film-people first, not lore-nerds. The reason his prequel reviews were so great is because they tackled horribly-made films where half of the characters have no personality and are sitting in front of greenscreens talking in shot/reverse-shot, not because the Prequels were "offensive" or "ruined star wars" in the way that the Sequels did.
If you're expecting some scathing critique on par with what they did to the prequels, you're going to be extremely disappointed because the sequels are "better made" films (in regards to core film-making elements like cinematography and character development) than the prequels and so have less to criticize in that regard. If you want a breakdown about how insulting and terrible these *stories* are (and they are) then you'd best look elsewhere for a scathing review that destroys these abominations.
t. RLM fan & someone who hates the Sequels FAR more than the Prequels but recognizes they are "better made" in a film-making sense even if they shit on the legacy of star wars more than the prequels ever could've hoped to
>There's nothing they can add to the discussion about new movies outside of what they say in their normal show
Lmao do ppl actually listen to what they "add" critically? What retard does that? More than likely most ppl just enjoy watching them talk shit. Thats entirely what those vids are for. Who cares if they did it already, chilling out and watching them do it again would be mildly entertaining
Based
He's making one?
I assumed he won't because of all the jokes that plinkett is responsible for the sequel trilogy
And it's been too long since the movie came out
>this copypasta again
The Prequels are not good just because they shoved a ton of references to other films in, and they are not good just because the Sequels were worse. Please come up with a new argument that isn't "hurr ur DUMB if you don't appreciate this kino!!!" Sitting and talking does not automatically make a movie smart, CGI being in every shot DOES detract from a movie, homage is not the same thing as quality.
It is a review/unfunny sketch. Also he is retarded.
Well their TLJ video came out in August, so it's definitely not too late, but i'm not sure one way or the other if they're actually planning on doing it.
>the sequels are "better made" films (in regards to core film-making elements like cinematography and character development
>character development
>sequels
Ok retard
Why would they turn down a free guaranteed 3.3 million views?
The Prequel reviews were lightning in a bottle. Plinkett should have never become the "Star Wars thing" and it's obvious he only did the sequels because everyone inspected him to when they're just not interesting films to dissect. I was hyped when Mike joked about Plinkett tackling Wish Upon because it genuinely triggered his autism.
this is painful to watch
Because plinkett reviews are time consuming to make. And really, there's nothing groundbreaking to say. It's even critically panned by normies.
If only I were also above such petty things as dialogue, acting, and cinematography
>because everyone inspected him to
Is this European education?
Mike's just going to try and save face for the third time in a row. He'll throw a few softball criticisms at Abrams and Skywalker (and probably safe ones like "Why wasn't there more diversity" to appease his reddit fanbase), but spend a third of it trying to salvage his reputation as a critic through more "Prequels bad" obfuscation while.
>Do they have other celebrity guest reviews?
They don't really care about that, is very rare, they had Max Landis, Patton Oswald in one episode, the script writer of "The guest" and some other people I can remember.
>ten years too late to the party
Eh that doesn't matter, pick a movie you know/watched, see if they reviewed it, maybe you like it, maybe you get a different perspective on that movie.
was that inbetween the hooker jokes?
British, mate needs that Plinkett Loicense.
"I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate." -George Lucas
They literally are though. Kylo Ren alone has more motivation than anyone in the entire Prequel trilogy.
How can trips be so wrong? TROS is one of the worse movies ever made on a technical level, lore aside. The only thing it has is a big budget.
>film people first
Then why are they so bad at filmmaking? Why did Mike drop out of film school?
Based
Kylo Ren was just Disney Store Anakin.
Based retard
I mean, they don't really need it, I agree they probably will go ahead and make it anyways, but it's not like they need the views tbqh
His motivation is Luke went senile and tried to kill him so he went full Dark Side?
seething brainlet
>Kylo Ren alone has more motivation than anyone in the entire Prequel trilogy.
Pasta, but true. Mike's ideas for films always involve quips or cliche romantic subplots. He's a typical soulless gen x husk.
gr8 b8 m8
name a more handsome man than rich, ill wait
none of you want to admit it, but this is honestly the reason why we won't see and why we don't need an RoS review. Mike has nothing to say, nor does he have anything worth adding to the conversation. the Plinkett prequel videos were excellent breakdowns of bad film-making and offered plenty of material for in-depth analysis. what could Mike possibly analyze in a video about RoS that wasn't already touched on in HitB? RoS was a fix-job made to appease fans and make money. it was an embarrassing, albeit competently made film. the end.
you're a faggot. and probably underage.
It's just a movie review you fag. Literally the least important thing ever
you have no power here jj
I'm not wrong. The sequels weren't "well-made" don't get me wrong, they just weren't quite as bad as everyone sits down and talks about nothing in front of screens until the lightsabers pop out for an action scene.
Embarrassing cope
did you ever see Ebert's movie? or are you gonna claim Ebert isn't a "film person"? you monumental retard.
George Lucas should review Space Cop
>the sequels are better made in terms of character development
>Then why are they so bad at filmmaking? why'd mike drop out
Idk, but it doesn't change the fact that this is the lens through which they judge all the movies they critique with the sole exception of Star Trek which Mike cares more about on a "nerd" level. Their personal talent (or lack thereof) at creation is irrelevant, they are still intelligent and have valid criticisms from a film-making standpoint.
definitely underage.
Ebert actually watched and studied films Mike watches Star Trek
>I'm not wrong
Tell me more as you chase your tail smooth brain. The mental gymnastics you've been putting on is great
The sequels are the blandest, most soulless focus-grouped films ever made and can easily be vivisected.
>They literally are though. Kylo Ren alone has more motivation than anyone in the entire Prequel trilogy
Lmao at this coping tranny
Pretty good bait!
More cope. You got btfo samefag. Get over it
>competently made film
Are we really talking about RoS here
>jj
I'm the same person who said the Sequels were far worse than the Prequels, but ok
Mike will just embarass himself again by claiming there wasn't enough diversity or interracial gay sex.
prequels>OT>sequels
>better made" films (in regards to core film-making elements like cinematography and character development
>character development of the sequels
Wew
I have no mental gymnastics, I hate both the Sequels and the Prequels (except 3, that one is decent) because they are all trash. You're just desperately trying to cope because you're probably a zoomie who "grew up with" the prequels and cannot handle when they are criticized, I hope you mature someday.
Nice try
I always say that the way you're supposed to judge a piece of art is by how well the artist achieved his goals, and I think Empire Strikes Back came out the furthest from what Lucas would have liked it to be. Of course the prequel hater types have latched onto Empire Strikes Back for these exact reasons, because they think it shows that, when Star Wars is good, it's good in spite of Lucas and not because of him. What is really going on is that, deep down, part of them knows that they should be embarrassed that their taste in movies hasn't evolved at all since they were twelve, and so they latch onto the one that they think is the darkest, and thus the most mature, because they think dark equals mature, and you see this all the time with superhero fans as well.
he already refused to admit he fucked up in the half in the bag review with his endorsement of jj abrams
>the sequels
>character development
