Or you know, maybe they should just get the **** over it. Yes, it wasn't a great movie (but then again, that comes down to individual opinion) but to remake it, and do what? How would these arse clowns do it any better? Because they're fans? HA! Putting fans in charge of creating is a **** terrible idea.
The Last Jedi happened, these buffoons just need to accept it and move on. There's plenty of other Star Wars lore out there for them (like go read the old expanded universe books!)

Its hard to let go of the old, and accept the new, especially when the new is a bag of dicks.
Ever since Bay started making TF movies, I've heard the phrase "raped my childhood" on more than one occasion. And I've always thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. Something new, even if it's bad, can't ruin something that was previously great. In the case of my example, the sheer existence of the Bay movies doesn't mean you can't enjoy the old stuff you know and love. It's still there, for playing/viewing pleasure, and will always be there. I don't love the Bay flicks, but I do enjoy them. Because I learned to let go. It's not MY Transformers, but they're brilliantly CGI'd transforming robots on the big screen, and that's pretty neat.Burn wrote:Or you know, maybe they should just get the **** over it.

Not a quote because I don't remember exactly, but Kevin Smith once said you need to be able to take a step back and enjoy things for what they are. We're nerds, and nothing is ever going to be made EXACTLY the way we want it. I liked the Ghost Rider movies. They weren't good, but I got to see him on the big screen doing some badass things, and that's awesome.
All said.... The Last Jedi.. is actually the first time I felt like that ridiculous phrase rang true. It sounds lame, and I didn't even realize it until I saw his character completely destroyed in TLJ, but Luke Skywalker was a real hero of mine. And what they did to him was unforgivable. Nothing he did in that movie was appropriate for his character, and all it does is show that Rian Johnson (and everyone above him) has no idea what they're doing, and has no respect for the brand and its fandom.
My old Luke is still there, in my 480p DVD Theatrical Cut Star Wars Trilogy set. But I'll be damned if the stench of The Last Jedi doesn't still linger in my nostrils.

Now who has had it easier then, the films or the department in charge of rebels?
