Personally, I feel that Star Wars 7 and 8 should not be viewed as a Star Wars series. It is more of a new product with global expansion with feelings. It is not because of how bad "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" are. It’s because of the goodness of the six-parts of Star Wars, so that I have watched the entire six in one day, and even put on a hat and lowered my head to feel like a Jedi.
First of all, I have a big question. Why did "Star Wars" change from the once handsome heroes such as Anakin and Luke to women and blacks as the protagonists. I wonder if this change is the rumored American political correctness, like the idea of "Moonlight Boy". In short, there is one thing that prevents me from substituting the hero complex of watching "Star Wars", not because of discrimination against identity, but These two characters are very flat. A female protagonist who was abandoned and wanted to see her parents with facial paralysis, and a stunned boy protagonist who escaped from the enemy army can really support the theme of "Star Wars". ?
Next, look at the heroine line, she has two problems here.
One is that she learned art from a teacher at Luke, what on earth did she learn? She couldn't control the force well in the last one, so of course she must learn to control it well in this one. So good, Luke was reluctant to teach at first, here (don't know why) agreed to the hostess and taught three lessons. The direction of the three classes is to tell the hostess to stand on the bright side and not to go to the dark side. But the problem is that Luke talked about the grievances between himself and Ben's master and apprentice. This has nothing to do with the heroine. It can't solve the confusion in the heroine's heart: my parents abandoned me. But the end of the hostess's apprenticeship here was that she felt that she could have been persuaded and left, which had nothing to do with her own growth.
Another problem is the relationship with Ben. To put it bluntly, she and Ben have been competing, drawing each other into their own camp. We can't see her martial arts, determination, or growth. If the protagonist of such a heroic movie just wins over the other party, will it be too pale? This involves an eternal proposition of "Star Wars"-The Force. We probably know from the six episodes of Star Wars that the Force is a balanced force. You may go to the light, like Luke; or you may go to the dark, like Anakin. In this way, until the father-son confrontation between Luke and Anakin, what we see is a natural force game that blends with the story. So what's the film like? Using a main thread that I persuaded you to join and you persuaded me to surrender, destroys the Zen of "The Force" itself and becomes superficial.
After the heroine has finished speaking, let's take a look at the line of the black, pilot, and maintenance girl who have the most problems in this film.
Personally feel that the three of them are playing the pig teammate who killed the teammate? What we saw was that the three of them had been busy for a long time, but they didn’t know that Princess Leia played a scene with the commander (although I don’t know why I did it, and I can’t explain it directly to the subordinates), preparing to abandon the big ship and take 30 transport ships to the base. . In this line, the black man and the maintenance girl turned off the tracker. They were told to look for the great god with a red flower on their chest. As a result, the two met a thief in prison and believed him inexplicably, but he was finally caught by him. The betrayal revealed the plan of the Resistance Army to abandon the ship and escape. The transport ships were destroyed one by one, and numerous teammates were killed and injured. And their good teammate pilots even launched a mutiny to not allow everyone to abandon the ship and escape, almost killing everyone. To commit such a big mistake, I personally feel that it must be punished if it is not treated by military law. As a result, the pilot was slapped by the princess, and the little guy who said it was really difficult was fine, and the black people and maintenance girls who acted privately were fine.
And when the black man was about to give up his flight and crash into the cannon to prevent the First Army from destroying the city gate, at this moment when it was about to ignite, the maintenance girl suddenly appeared on the plane and hit him. The maintenance girl smiled and said that it was right to save talents by herself. OK, then her thinking is that saving blacks is very important, and it's not my business if the entire resistance organization behind it is destroyed. Isn't this strange?
Finally, I have to talk about Luke. I don’t know what courage and logic is used in this film to write the absolute idol of the Death Star fans. The heroine, black people, etc. seem to be less profound than his affection for us? Luke has always been a decadent old man throughout the film, regardless of the safety of his sister and Galaxy, and this is due to the blackening of his nephew Ben, regardless of whether this is hypocritical. Then he has to face this nephew Ben in the end, right? OK, when he showed his own strength to fight against the lord, what bullet is invalid, the sword is invalid, it really feels like the return of the former star wars protagonist! But what is surprising is that this is actually his shadow, he himself was hiding in the rear to cast a spell. What is even more ridiculous is that our Luke was actually caused by the shadow of the original without being involved in any danger. It's exhausted and wiped out! May I ask if Mark Hamill doesn't want to act again? Perhaps it is better to die like this to protect all living beings on the battlefield and fight to death. What’s even more strange is that Princess Leia and others heard that Luke was dead. Their reaction gave me the feeling that everyone kept their new hope. It doesn’t matter whether Luke is dead or not, there is the next Luke’s. . And may I ask whether the new Jedi Hope lies with the heroine or finally stays on a strange child?
All in all, this "Star Wars 8" is still a capital-bound thing. It gives you all the emotional elements you should give. It belongs to the past memories of robots, fighters, battleships, various creatures and lightsaber PK, but it is by no means what we used to be. The "Star Wars" series that I am fascinated by.
