SHINAN'S PROFILE

Just remember that twitch tends to delete videos like a week after they were live. So it's good to take some kind of local copy.

Well, I guess all we can do is wait.

Godsdammit. I wanted to do that one.

If you had asked a couple of days ago Humble Bundle had a software bundle that included Vegas Pro I think. But it seems that bundle is over now.

The Jedi/Luke Skywalker stuff especially completely betrayed his character, considering the way he had been developed in every film before this one. I get that he became lonely and "tortured" over the years in isolation. But I still can't bring myself to believe that the character who refused to fight Vader, would decide to draw a Light Saber on his own nephew in a moment of rage and impulse. It just makes zero sense. And it's clear that Rian Johnson deeply misunderstands the philosophical underpinnings of the Jedi.

I don't know about that. Luke never went through proper Jedi training. He had an afternoon training with an old man and then a couple weeks with Yoda and that was it. He took his light sabre into the dark cave despite Yoda asking him not too and he gave himself to the dark side, even if it was only momentarily, being brought back by knowing he would be no different to the father who he went to save in Return of the Jedi after cutting off Vaders hand. Luke wanted to be do what was right but he always had self doubt issues throughout the entire trilogy. I think Lukes character in this exactly what Luke would have become if he went through what he did. I don't think it was about the Jedi at all in this film. It was about Luke as a character, a self professed Jedi, and that is far more interesting than just the same old shit we have seen over and over and over.

I think it's interesting how, in ways, true to the text the Luke story kinda is. The only real problem is that we've had thirty years to extrapolate own versions of the stories, but when you look at what is actually there visitorfromdreams' interpretation of what happened is just as valid as any preconceived notions that didn't mesh with the Luke of The Last Jedi. Looking back at it The Force Awakens really builds up Luke Skywalker as this mythical being, so in a way it would almost have been disappointing to see all of those... expectations fulfilled. In fact how interesting a story would that have been really?

The thing that I loved about The Last Jedi is how it defied certain expectations, but did it in a way that just made the movie better and more intriguing. I always enjoy when I think I know how a movie might be going in and then it isn't that, but instead it is way better than that. It doesn't happen very often. And I never thought it would happen in a Star Wars movie.
