Hey guys, I hope you like this video. I'm not joking when I say this took over a month to make. I don't think I even took a day off in that month. All I did was make this, but I hope you appreciate the work I put into it :D

Luke in the original trilogy:My father has killed billions of innocent people, but I know that I can save him because there’s still good in him. Luke in the sequels: well my nephew had a dream about the dark side so let’s turn him into sachimi.

Darth vader: literally kills dozens of bad people, innocent people, younglings and his comrades
Luke: "there's still good in him"
Kylo: has a bad dream
Luke: "so you must die"

They're treating it like a movie, not a universe.

My problem with Han in the Force Awakens is that Abrams completely undid his arc from the OT of becoming an actual hero but when Abrams brought him back, he was just a divorced failure of a man who had no motivation to care about pretty much anything. There is simply no feeling worse than seeing that your favorite character peaked 20 years ago.

You created a better trilogy in a month than Disney did in 5 years

The force awakens: too safe
The last Jedi: too bold
The rise of skywalker: too desperate

4:39 Mark hamill saw how a good history dies, with thunderous applause

Vader: killed millions ruthlessly, killed his own mentor in front of him, cuts your hand, actively hunts you and your friends down, LITERALLY destroyed an entire planet etc...
Luke: There is still good in him
Ben: has bad dream
Luke: THE DEVIL HIMSELF Ignites lightsaber

Luke: believes in the good in literally Lord Vader until the very end.

Also Luke: considering murdering a Kid who had some attitude in cold blood in his sleep.

"The prophecy only became true because your father believed that it would" is such a powerful line.

52:16 lmfao every time you show this scene I can’t help but laugh at how close all the planets are to each other. Zero effort to make the world make sense.

As someone that hasn’t seen Episodes 8 & 9 due to their poor reception, I now accept your version of this trilogy as canon.

Finn be like: my stormtrooper friend died so i must kill the rest of my stormtrooper friends

@pietervangorp267 5 years ago

I got more emotion out of him telling a story then all of the sequel movies combined.

@unpremeditated-dot-blog 2 years ago

It was never a question of the fans versus the story. The fans cared about the quality and continuity of the story.

YOUR sequel trilogy is FAR, FAR better then the sequel trilogy we got.

@lvbboi9 5 years ago

The pure sadness on Mark Hamill's face makes me VICIOUSLY furious

He's a man you can tell really cared about his character, the series and the fans.

He was a poor man being given orders by people who clearly didn't give a shit.
