The fuck are you talking about? I’m not complaining about Rey being too powerful or Luke being too grumpy, I’m not bitching about Rose existing, and I’m actually defending Hodo instead of throwing a fit that a woman in a dress was in a position of authority. I’ve also got 2 paragraphs about structural issues and thematic failures that I’ve never heard anyone mention. Maybe some right-winger brought up one of the same plot holes, but anyone with half a brain would ask why they didn’t pull that light-speed maneuver against the Death Star.
Maybe I’ve never seen the “right-wing” criticism of The Last Jedi… But all the criticism I have seen is basically the same as yours (plus “wtf gravity dropping bombs out of a hole in the bottom of a space ship”).
Seriously? There was a whole movement to reshoot the movie because the, “SJWs,” had ruined Star Wars. They claimed they, “destroyed,” Luke’s character because that wanted to, “empower,” Rey. They were furious that Poe was getting reprimanded by women, and that Hodo wore a dress. They even bullied the lady who played Rose Tico off of Instagram for being a woman of color in Star Wars.
I didn’t even like talking my problems with the movie because I didn’t want to be lumped in with the Groypers and incels. I kept seeing reviews and comments talking about how this completely turned Star Wars on it’s head and I kept thinking, “no it fucking didn’t, they chickened out and reestablished the status quo at the last second,” but I kept my mouth shut for years.
Edit: This smug little weirdo makes for a good case study of the right-wing grievance culture around the movie. Just be sure to watch with an ad blocker so you don’t give him any revenue.
Yea, I dunno, I guess I’m glad I missed all that, this is all news to me. That entire trilogy was so bad for so many reasons I guess I just kinda checked out and didn’t even realize.
The right wing criticism is always dumb shit about Rey being too strong.
The reality is that in TLJ, Rey was relegated to a support role. She doesn’t actually do anything except become attracted to an abusive asshole (who tried to mind rape her previously) because he looks good with his shirt off. This is what happens when you have Rian Johnson writing women. You know, the guy that did the most egregious fridging of a woman of all time in Looper? That guy made a Star Wars movie and it was the most misogynistic movie in all of Star Wars.
It was advertised as being “about strong women” so everyone pretends that’s what it is. If people actually took the movie for what it is instead of what it was advertised to be the political criticism would go the opposite way.
I heard a bunch of right wing criticism of The Force Awakens, and it was mainly “A WOMAN AND A BLACK MAN? HOW CAN I EVEN CONCENTRATE ON THE FILM WHEN THEY’RE INSULTING ME WITH A BLACK MAN AND A WOMAN, IT’S SO FALSE AND FAKE.”
I remember seeing those for the force awakens, but I don’t recall hearing it about the second one. Not saying it didn’t happen, just wasn’t the primary criticisms I was seeing.

So yeah, pretty racist and misogynist.

Yup.
