SuperLeia and ProjectionLuke (The Last Jedi Hate Deck - INCL 1.0

• Versionen

Sorry but luke has to claim he is inferior and give up his title to the true master

A challenger rises to defend the Last Jedi! 1) Leia: so I feel like this was a moment when Carrie Fisher was like, "Let's do this! It will be awesome!" and because she is Carrie Fisher, Rian Johnson was like,"..Okay..." Was it weird? Yes. Was it weirder than the Force being Anakin's daddy? I don't believe so... 2) Snoke: no more of a wasted opportunity than Palpatine. At least he got lightsabered instead of thrown down a hole screaming like a Boba Fett (sorry, BF fans... I know it's still fresh. It will always be too soon.). The main difference is that Palpatine got three movies before he was vanquished and Snoke got only two. Looking objectively at the OT, Palpatine and Snoke have about the same amount of gloating time. 3) 3-day chase: okay, I admit that this was a bit of a dumb plot, but at least they weren't on Hoth again. I have asked the very same thing with regards to lightspeed capable Star Destroyers, but if you think about it, Star Wars has an honored tradition of bad guys gloating and taking their time to off the good guys. Darth Maul sending sparks down on Obi-Wan, Grand Moff Tarkin ("The Death Star in range in 30 minutes" Hoth no! Just blow up Yavin and that tiny little moon is history! No need to even let that X-Wing trench run happen!), the escape from Hoth (there's a freaking Impreial fleet (not to mention a Super Star Destroyer) blocking the Rebels' way to hyperspace, but a little ion cannon can knock out one (just one!) and let them all escape somehow. So in a long and time honored tradition, the bad guys took their time to defeat the good guys, buying the good guys time to instead defeat the bad guys. If they hadn't, there would be no plot, no story, no reason to cheer for the good guys. And how boring would that be? 4) Holdo: I don't know how common knowledge this is, but in the military... you follow orders! It doesn't matter if you think the orders are brilliant or stupid. That's the lesson Poe needed to learn, and why everyone looked back at Leia when he was ordering everyone to follow the ice fox things. The orders come from a chain of command (Leia), and even though she was grooming him for command, he was not there yet and did not need to know why Holdo was ordering the fleet to move on. Had he simply done as he was told, Finn and Rose would not have gotten his blessing to go to Canto Bight, get DJ or whatever his name is, and then nearly executed. Yes, they survived, but DJ gave up the fleeing rebel transports, and as a result of Poe's insubordination, a lot of good people needlessly died. I'm okay with that as a story arc, because, as we learned from Empire Strikes Back, the bantha fodder hits the fan sometimes, and you really learn who you are by how you handle the pressure. So it was a great lesson for Poe to learn. 5) Casino World: Yes, I can see where a lot of criticism for Canto Bight is coming from. I get it, it reminds a lot of people about the prequels and shoves some heavy handed Disney social justice messages down our throats. However, it also fleshes out the Star Wars universe and we get to see that, while the First Order and Resistance are all duking it out, the galaxy at large is still living its every day life. Much like how life doesn't pause in a real war for the folks back home. 6) Dark Cave: I will give you that the visuals are rather wacky and it was a slower paced scene compared to other parts of the movie. However, it was a necessary part of Rey's journey. Just like Luke had to "face the mirror" (a component of the Jedi Trials, I might add) and learn that the evil he saw in Darth Vader also could be found in himself, Rey had to learn that her parents, whom she almost didn't leave Jakku for because she thought they were coming back for her, were not who gave her her identity. She had to learn that everything she needed she could find in herself. I know it doesn't explicitly state all of this, but Rian Johnson is a Star Wars fan and was attempting to add to the lore started in ESB.

So while I will respect everyone's opinion to dislike this movie, it is important to acknowledge that every story has its flaws: including the original trilogy. I also think that nostalgia is a huge factor in why some people hated the Last Jedi with a passion while others, like myself, find it to be a worthy addition to the Star Wars canon. And I will agree with you that it could have been better. But then, can't that be said of everything? Wanting to pick apart a movie is all well and good, a nice little brain exercise, but I am still rather baffled that the Last Jedi has been so divisive. I know Star Wars means a lot to a lot of people (myself included), but I think the internet is going a little overboard on this one.

And that is my pent up rant in defense of the Last Jedi! I've been listening to review after review trashing the movie because the fictional story did not go the way everyone was anticipating, and that fictional magic powers were not working the way people believed they should.

I laugh at everyone who got their panties in a bind over a star wars movie. TLJ was in no way worse than TPM, so if it can meet that standard then it's fine. Lot of good stuff in the movie and the "implausible" is not any worse than other things in previous movies--as the wall of text above this note lays out quite well. So, lighten up people. We got more Star Wars. I like that it wasn't predictable. All the fan theories turned on their head, I love it. Screw the fan theories, surprise me with stuff and show me cool effects. Yeah, there are things in the movie that aren't great but who cares, there's a lot that was really fun. Take it as it comes and just be glad they're still making the damn things, ffs. Oh, by the way, this deck is awful--but I guess that was the intent. lol

Your forgot noble sacrifice to kill Luke turn 1 before he or Leia roll out any dice! Absolutely agree with your comments on Last Jedi.

How do I downvote decks on here?

hahaha. this deck is so bad. i would love for you to bring this to the table at a real game. it would die in about 3 rounds. there is no literally no reason to run kenobi's journals without luke's protection. young padawan, much to learn. everything costs 2 on average! so it would take you like 17 rounds to play all these cards. If you get force speed in your opening hand, maybe you can gain some time. lol. also, WTF is force speed!?!??!?

@jeremyeagles You do understand this is a gag deck, right?
@LukePM1776 You're absolutely right! Noble Sacrifice should be in the deck! lol @chinovalley I don't believe I said this was the "worst" Star Wars movie.

"After that unbelievably awful movie..." Really, you thought one was worse? You sure don't make it sound that way. Pray tell, which one do you think was worse than TLJ? Careful with your answer, you might actually validate that TLJ was a decent movie.

@chinovalley Come on, man. My last line says: "Can I hate it and you like it? Yes. Please, don't think I don't respect you if you do. It's okay to disagree." So, yes, I do believe it was bad. Read the article. It states why. Did Lucas make poor choices in the prequels: Yes. TPM and AoTC are definitely worse than this one. But this one is in no way better than ANH, ESB, RoTJ, Rogue One, RoTS, TPM (in that order). This one is the third worse. SHOULD it have been better? Absolutely! It is flawed in so many ways. And it's unfortunate. It should have been much more. Yes, it should have.

Made a mistake in my list: ANH, ESB, RoTJ, Rogue One, RoTS, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, AOTC, TPM.

OK, your opinion is noted. My opinion is that people have such high expectations about characters and story arcs that unless it's perfect then they will be disgruntled. Is TLJ perfect? Hell no. None of the movies are. There are gaping logic holes in all of them. It's just a matter of how much you want to nitpick. Making "hate" decks is just acting out--amusing but ultimately just a tantrum. Having seen all of them at time of their original releases (I was 10 years old when A New Hope arrived) I think they all have warts and they all are magnificent. I temper my expectations and enjoy the ride, the surprises, the new content. And sometimes I cringe, yes. But they're all fun, they're all Star Wars--just a space opera. Not worth the hate.

throws Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber I liked the movie. Plenty of plot wholes that I could fit a squadron of rebel bombers in but its wasn't a copy of ESB. Matter of fact is wasn't like any of the other movies.
