> Janelle Monae smashes open a mystery box with a hammer

Reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_Knot

When you pillory a lot of dumb people's idea of a smart person, it's not unsurprising you piss off a lot of dumb people.

I think its easy to dislike a movie that you're angry at. I really like this movie, and I'm sure that's a large part of why I was able to engage with it. Kind of a commentary on politics and society too, eh?

johnson seems to be hyper self aware of what he is doing and i’m here for it! In a way its a similar debate to the one on SW VIII where he was going too meta on the nature of the force which caught a whole bunch of fans off guard.

I'd really really love to know what happened on the inside with this movie and the 7/8/9 trilogy. Rian Johnson is extremely detail oriented and the movie we got was mostly soup.

How did JJ Abrams come into it?

Rian Johnson wrote and directed Star Wars 8, JJ worked on 7 and 9

Ah! Makes sense.
