Alan Dean Foster, the acclaimed author behind Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, called 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi a ‘terrible movie’.
Star Wars novelist Alan Dean Foster shared his thoughts on The last Jedi, calling it “a terrible movie”.
“Episode VIII was out, it was a closed deal, “said Foster Midnight limit. “And I went and saw it, and I thought it was a terrible movie. I thought it was terrible Star Wars film, and there’s no need to explain why, because all the fans have already done it. I thought, ‘How can this be reconfigured? How can we correct as much as possible from Episode VIII in a proposal Episode IX? ‘And I wrote a partial treatment for it, trying, in this plot, to explain many of the really silly things that happened in Episode VIII. “
Foster is known among fans as the ghostwriter of the first Star Wars novelization, as well as the writer of Splinter of the mind’s eye – a possible sequence of A new hope before The Empire Strikes Back being green light.
although The last Jedi was praised by critics, the film was met with reaction by a number of former Star Wars fans who felt it went too far in terms of subverting expectations. Many also opposed the portrait of Luke Skywalker, which was reintroduced for the first time since Return of the Jedi (except for the provocation at the end of The force awakens) as a disillusioned hermit who cut himself off from the Force. Even Mark Hamill himself said the famous phrase: “he doesn’t my Luke Skywalker. “
Since its release, other stars of the film have started calling The last Jedi in question. John Boyega, who played Finn in the sequential trilogy, said: “The force awakens I think it was the beginning of something very solid, The last Jedi if i’m being honest, i would say it was a little doubtful for me. I do not necessarily agree with many of the choices and this is something that spoke to Mark [Hamill] a lot about and we talked about it. And it was difficult for all of us, because we were separated. “
Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern and Carrie Fisher.
