Podcasts about rian johnson's star wars the last jedi

In the 2020 Covid-19 version, Alexis Soto, David Francisco and Alexys Moreno discuss Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a very polarizing film amongst the fanbase. While he thwarted expectations and gave fans something new, he didn't seem to fully commit to Kylo's mantra of "Let the past die." Kylo and Rey seemed to almost join forces at one point and embracing that idea got us thinking...What if Rey DID join Kylo? How would that revelation affect the story and characters we've come to know? With The Rise of Skywalker and the end of the main Star Wars series at hand, it's time to answer that question and more in this month's episode! Remember...FanScription will be with you...always.

Greg Iwinski, a comedian, film reviewer (he gave Balboa 5 Stars), and podcaster, comes on the show to attack all those who think Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" should have serviced the fans' expectations more than made a great movie (minus the casino scene) and set up a world-class franchise for decades to come. Film, art, and culture are all explored. What does a corporation, or an artist, owe to the fans that support and love and even identify with someone's art? George Lucas gave us Star Wars, then tried to mess with it. As an artist, he's allowed to. But as a fan, I beg him not to mess with the originals (which he's said the original film footage is even lost). "Special Editions" should be just that, and not replacements for the originals that now connect to our cultural Zeitgeist. That said, our expectations of who Luke Skywalker is and is not is informed by decades of fan-fiction and the expanded universe of books and comics, setting the stage for the rage-monster nerd reaction against Rian Johnson's fantastic new film. So many people came to the movie expecting one thing and Rian Johnson wanted to give us something new. Insert conflict here. Even a rant about maintenance-mode Catholicism comes in to play! The frog-nuns are caretakers of a dead religion and are fussy when young blood is messing with the buildings. Luke wants to burn down the sacred Tree, but find that he cannot, until Pope Yoda does the thing himself. Yet! The sacred texts survive and endure. So with the Jedi. Fascinating. Special Guest: Greg Iwinski.
