Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi is one of the most impactful films on modern pop culture. Not so much because the film was universally beloved, but because this film ripped the fandom apart. It was after this movie that film discourse in general seemed to regress into its worst self. But if we were to just examine the Star Wars community, it seemed like fans were at war with each other after the release of this movie. So many people either passionately loved this movie, or hated it so much that to this day all these years later they cannot forgive the sins Rian Johnson made. Why is this the case? How did a movie about space wizards and rebels become this nuke in the fandom? How did this movie ruin and hopes of this trilogy for some while carrying it to great heights for others? And as a second movie in a trilogy, does this movie serve its intended goal? Hello everybody and welcome to another video, my name is the gold man and today we are going to talk about Star Wars episode 8 the last jedi all these years later.
Contrary to some revisionist historians, the lead up to the last jedi was filled with hype. The Force Awakens at the time was seen by many as a successful reentry into the franchise or as a cheap rehash of a new hope. But either way almost every Star Wars fan was dying to see this movie. Being involved in the Star Wars fandom between the force awakens and the last jedi was so much fun. People kept speculating constantly about secrets of the sequel trilogy or what would happen to certain characters. The two most discussed topics were Rey’s parents and Snoke’s origins. The amount of theories about these two topics was staggering to say the least. I will never forget some of the most ridiculous theories that people had about who Snoke really was. But Rian Johnson kept promising viewers that this movie was not going to go the way they thought. And well when the movie came out, people were not happy. It turns out Rey’s parents were no one. They were random people who sold Rey away and died. And even more egregious to some we got absolutely no answers to who Snoke was. He was just killed off and treated as an afterthought. The phrase that spawned from the discourse of this movie was subverting expectations.
