Why would the viewer need to be embarrassed about anything in them? Sure, stuff they don’t like, but embarrassed? The viewer didn’t make the movies.
I guess that's up to who's posting.
I put up things that I thought the filmmakers should be embarrassed about, but it could certainly be things that make you embarrassed to be a Star Wars fan.
Ok, in that context, you kinda make sense. But these are still just lists of things people don’t like about them.
And never be embarrassed about stuff you like. If YOU like it, that’s all that matters. Fuck what other people think.
I don't like them bringing the Emperor back. I think it was lazy story telling. But it wasn't so egregious that JJ Abrams should call me to apologize.
He SHOULD call me and apologize for the Finn and C3PO stuff. He doesn't have to apologize for the Chewy hug, b/c he's already admitted that he made that mistake.

I still don’t know how to square the awesomeness of MI3 with every other movie he’s made.
Second unit?

It wasn't that great of an accomplishment. If you use a reddit thread as your script, you're gonna make a lot of shitty movies.

I remember in The Last Jedi thread, where some of you were surprised someone would post about their disappointment with a movie.
The Last Jedi ruined the sequels.

The movie has flaws (we can quibble with how egregious they are), but it is the only film in the trilogy that has something new or interesting to say. Plus, it is beautifully shot.
(we will have this conversation until the end of time, I'm sure of it
)

It’s beautifully shot, but easily the worst for the story and the characters. I don’t even think it’s original in a creative way. It tries too hard to subvert expectations in all the wrong places, and have nothing new to say in others.

Canto Bight was dreadful. A ham handed political message, in the middle of a terrible side plot. Might be the worst segment in the history of Star Wars.

Canto Bight basically hits you over the head with what it's trying to say. Then it adds Rose's monologue to make sure you understood what they were going for.
ugh.
