Someone asked me if I ran a film what movies would as use as examples of what not to do. I said female Ghostbusters is the perfect example of placing agenda ahead of the story as well as ignoring what the audience actually wants. I know Last Jedi would be an example but there seems to be so many things wrong. What is it an example of? Any other movies you can think of?

I’ll always love pre Disney Star Wars and read a lot of the expanded universe books and comics. I never thought a company would make me lose interest in Star Wars. I remember thinking after rise of Skywalker that if that was the best they had they should’ve loosely adapted Thrawn trilogy or New Jedi Order plot. And yes I remember moronic critics saying “you are just mad because you wanted to see a more powerful Luke”. Well what’s wrong with that? That movie is the reason I’m fed up with deconstruction. I went to the comic book store and bought some classic Superman comics to cleanse my palate
Return of the Jedi is actually a pretty spotty movie. The initial rescue mission is wildly disconnected from the rest of the plot, obi wan’s excuse for lying to Luke about his father was garbage, and Leia being Luke’s sister was an idiotic and desperate attempt to recapture Empire’s legendary twist. The sister reveal was indirectly responsible for much of the nonsense in TLJ.
I love Return of the Jedi but I can see that. You ever read his original plan for Star Wars? There is a comic book miniseries. I guess it’s closer to plot of Hidden Fortress only in space
