The whole "oh Kylo and Rey are teaming up" thing. If you look at that scene, Kylo's got embers falling around him, there's a red tint, it looks like he's got a fire going near him. Rey on the other hand appears to be in the same caves she's been training with Luke in. When she says "I just want someone to show me my place in all of this" it's made to look like she's talking to Kylo, I actually think she's begging Luke (who is scared out of his mind) to still train her despite the fact that he's terrified of her "raw power" that he wasn't scared enough the first time he saw it (Ben/Kylo)
They are trying to convince us that either Rey goes dark or Ren comes back light (which I think he will come back light, but not with that scene) and it's just a fake out to throw us off.
Like Luke said "This won't go...like you think it will" or something along those lines.

A lot of people liked "Fly" and he also did "Ozymandias" which is widely considered the best episode of the series-- one of my friends said it was the best hour of television he's ever seen! "Fifty-One" is also in people's top tens.
Looper has a 93% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes with an 82% audience score.
His work may not be to your taste, but it's not considered universally bad in the consensus view.
Going with relative unknowns in terms of actors and directors is an old tradition. What had Lucas done before Star Wars? I groaned through THX 1138 and I couldn't finish American Grafitti, but Star Wars sure turned out "alright"!
Another example is Guardians of the Galaxy which is phenomenally-successful but James Gunn really hadn't done much prior that.
I'm willing to give Rian a chance and walk into the theater with an open mind. I judge movies after I've seen them.Leave a comment:

This is the same Rian Johnson that wrote the Breaking Bad episode "Fly" where a fly interrupts their Heisenberg and Pinkman's batch. An entire episode where they were hunting for a fly. This was IMHO the worst episode of the series.
I also was underwhelmed by his "Looper" film. The same man behind both "Looper" and the "Fly" episode of Breaking Bad is now in charge of Star Wars.

which stated:
"Attention is now focused on the next Star Wars saga film, The Last Jedi, which director Rian Johnson said had its screenplay worked on by actress and script editor Carrie Fisher.
“I love her so much. I just adore her. I connected with her first and foremost as a writer," he said. "She was an incredible writer, with an incredible mind."
Carrie was a phenomenal screenwriter so this is a strong positive in its favor.Leave a comment:

Some more potential negatives:
Mark Hamill "fundamentally disagrees" with virtually everything in Rian Johnson's script for Luke
Mark Hamill aka Star Wars Press Junket MVP is at it again, this time speaking his mind on the plot of upcoming saga movie The Last Jedi in no uncertain terms.
"When I read 8, I told Rian [Johnson, the writer-director], 'I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you've decided about my character'," Hamill said during an ABC interview.
He did however clarify: "But it might be a good sign! I was really wrong about 7; I said, 'When I turn around [at the end], the audience is going to hoot and holler because it's such an obvious cheat'.
"I didn't foresee John Williams's incredible music and the shots of Daisy [Ridley] or the build-up to it all."
Luke is set to play a key part in The Last Jedi, ominously declaring at the end of the first trailer "It's time for the Jedi to end."
Last week, Hamill outlined what he saw as a "great missed opportunity" with Han Solo's death in The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in cinemas December 16.Leave a comment:

Just saw the trailer for the new movie. Actually looks pretty good. Hope it's better than 7. I thought Rogue One was solid though, so there is hope. I thought Episode 7 seemed like a blatant effort to lure in kids who never watched the first three movies. Kind of like the Will Smith Jr version of Karate Kid.
So what's the deal, is Darth Vader getting resurrected or something?Leave a comment:
