Guilty Pleasures #51 - Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi



I haven’t even said anything yet!


OK, this is going to be a controversial one, but it’s time to talk Star Wars again. The Force Awakens was initially popular, but soon a backlash began to set in with people complaining that, amongst other things, it was too similar to the original Star Wars movies. An opinion that has some validity, in my opinion; whilst it does perhaps play it too safe with certain elements, I believe it does have enough differences that it stands on its own

There was no such wait for the Last Jedi backlash, people were divided on this from the start, with critics giving it glowing reviews and audiences…. Not so much. There are many complaints people have about this film, some of which I feel stem from the general direction of the Force Awakens, some that are genuine and some are… bullsh*t. Life tip: use the words ‘Social Justice Warrior’ (or SJW) in your argument and you’ve already lost it.

Fair warning, I don’t think this movie is perfect, although I have praised it in the past, so I’m gonna bring attention to the faults of the movie. But I’m also gonna point out when people are just making sh*t up!

4 issue test #6 - Star Wars

It’s a Star Wars comic, how could it not be one of the most popular comics out there? But does that mean it’s any good? Well, let’s see if it passes the 4 issue test.

It’s another Marvel comic so be prepared for extra-expensive issues with bonus unnecessary digital versions. Here’s an idea Marvel: Most people who buy digital versions of comics are those who can’t get to a comic book shop, and might be a little far away to get them on ebay (my no. 1 comic source)

But let’s dive into the story of the comics
