Fans offer to cover budget to redo Star Wars: The Last Jedi

To be fair, I was embarrassed to be a Star Wars fan in 1998, but for different reasons.
This. When I see this much (supposed) effort into changing something, I just keep thinking "That's an awful lot of money that could go to some good charities...". In this case, perhaps some charities and foundations that offer counselling for those finding it difficult to come to terms with their emotional attachments to a space fantasy series.
If you're trying to argue that Rian Johnson "overthrew everything" in The Force Awakens and one of three examples you can come up with is "he broke Kylo Ren's helmet," there's a chance you might be grasping at straws.

If Episode IX isn't a total take-down of these shitheels' ideologies, Abrams missed an opportunity. It'd fit in with the narrative, anyway, they're such Kylo Rens.
But this time girls like it, and I like girls.
But girls won't like it if these classy dudes get their way.
Sometimes I think people need to take a step back and understand these are just movies. The amount of crying by fans that I have seen on this movie is pathetic, especially when it goes so far as to harass the actors.
SW fans did it to the boy who played Anakin, from what I understand it's why Hayden C. doesn't act anymore and now we have two female actors from the new films deleting social media accounts due to fan harassment.
It's embarrassing.
I thought the movie was fine by the way. I will wait for episode IX to see how everything shakes out and give impressions about the overall trilogy then, but in no way is it going to effect my life to the point where i'm going to take action against people for it. Jeez...

This is one of the worst posts I have ever seen. I am 35 and have seen over 1000 posts.
Some of the posts in this thread are quite enjoyable though.
Back in the heyday of TheForce.net, when everyone (except me) "knew" that there would never be a sequel trilogy, there was an official thread devoted to writing scripts for what they called "virtual sequels." Man, it was all shit. I wish someone would fund the filming of those.
A comedically large part of me wants to see this happen in some form (why not just DO it is the question really). But I want them to try and see how fucking hard making a good movie is let alone a great one. They'd fail miserably and other Star Wars fans will tear into it and it would be glorious.
They will eat eachother...

bad movies come out all the time lmao. Imagine wanting to remake every movie you think is bad. holy shit these people are obtuse.
Eh, 7 was pretty much building up to the point where Rey meets Luke. Johnson then uses the scene for a cheap joke. Finn pretty much becomes a side character. The mighty Snoke who can manipulate people thousands of lightyears apart dies pretty quick by a cheap trick, a few minutes after we actually see him (which looked to be a big reveal because he was only seen in 7 as a holographic character), and his bodyguards are more different to beat.
Not that I liked 7 that much (for a few different reasons). I liked both in IMAX for the nice 3D and effects, but watching at home it becomes really obvious they're just very badly written and I guess in 8 particularly a lot was lost in the big production (the gist of the story was supposed to be something about legends I guess).
Five minutes of thought:
1. The movie should open with Luke, drunk on space whiskey, crashing his x-wing into the water while singing the space equivalent of Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. In fact the entire Luke does nothing but sing space versions of Tom Petty songs. Death Stick's Last Dance, Jakku Girl, etc you get the idea.
2. Poe convinces Holdo there's a rare bottle of space wine in the holds and traps her in a container using space bricks and space mortar.
3. Kylo speaks in the third person. Hux tells him to space wash his hands but Kylo's evil and says no.
4. Everyone wears Slayer shirts.

Mostly the type who screech on about Soy Wars and how Kathleen Kennedy is ruining the franchise with SJW FEMINISM, but yeah. The types who call Holdo "Admiral Tumblr".
The fate of a Sith. You know, Dath Plagueis, Palpatine's master, was seen as the most powerful Sithlord during his time ... until ge got murdered by Palpatine in his sleep. No big fight, no clash of the dark side ... nope the biggest Sithlord was murdered by a dude called Sheev in his freaking sleep.
It's actually very Star Wars that Kylo Ren uses the first good chance to get rid off his master in order to take control for himself.
tbh the cheap joke was Abrams thinking ending TFA with a helicopter shot was a good idea.
Yep. I've seen people use Holdo's wardrobe against the movie too. As if women with unusual hairdos or dressed in gowns have no place leading a military force in Star Wars.

So this boils down to "hating on something just to hate it"? I've found so many of the TLJ to be contradicting b/c of the very thing you pointed out
With every passing day, I find myself getting more and more exhausted with Star Wars as a franchise. That said, I've already hit my breaking point with other Star Wars fans.
Just the shittiest fucking vocal minority around that do shit like this and make the normal fans look bad too.

Yep. Just like the people who get annoyed at Leia using The Force without any advanced training, but overlook Luke doing exactly the same in ANH to destroy the Death Star.
I can understand people not liking the execution, but disliking concept of Leia and The Force is rather silly.
Prob my fav part of that whole movie is Luke talking to the audience saying
"You fuckin expect me to just walk out, fight 10,000 troopers and 300 Mechs like Space God, you're fucking morons"
Hey guys, I have a sneak peak at the script:
Luke: it is time for the Jedi... to end.
Rey: You're tearing me apart, Luke!
————
(During a Rey and Kylo Forcetime call):
Kylo: They betray me, they didn't keep their promise, they trick me, and I don't care anymore. Everybody betrayed me! I fed up with this world
Rey: I'm so happy I have you as my best friend.
———-
(Meanwhile on Canto Bright)
Rose: I'm dying. I definitely have breast cancer
Finn: Look, don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. They're curing lots of people every day
Rose: I'm sure I'll be alright. Oh! I heard Poe is talking about me. He is a hateful man. Oh, I'm so glad I divorced him
———-
(Luke and Kylo face off on Crait)
Luke: You can love someone deep inside your heart, and there is nothing wrong with it. If a lot of people love each other, the world would be a better place to live.
Kylo: You don't understand anything, man. Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!
Luke: God...forgive me....
Luke: it is time for the Jedi... to end.
Rey: You're tearing me apart, Luke!

Can't help but laugh at these misguided fans and the whole situation. The lameness that was TLJ is the gift that keeps on giving.
