The Last Jedi pissed off a bunch of redditors when it came out. These redditors went full on gamergate about it, they were pissed because it didn’t coddle them enough (and also because the movie is garbage).
Instead of spending like 10 minutes thinking through why it didn’t work as a film, their chud brainworms somehow mostly blamed women, sjws, and minorities. Also Rian Johnson, so at least they got that right.
It then became a thing to be reactive against the reaction. The majority of people who said the movie was bad were easy dunk target because most of them were bazingabrains speaking in chud tongues. Also they were debate bros and that made it really to upset them.
TL;DR: Contrarians being contrarian against a different kind of contrarian. More interest from everyone involved in that dynamic than the original media critique that originally set it off.
i don't think any of the synthetic computer battle are interesting, fast or slow; making the ships seem to go faster wouldn't do anything for me at all.
what is interesting to me is a reflection on the themes and values that are part of the star wars films, and star wars fandom, and star wars as a cultural object, continually needing to be refashioned by capital. johnson's movie (and to a lesser extent, abraham's one prior to it (really through the creation of Kylo)) approaches these extratextual issues, and even though last jedi necessarily must end w/ an endorsement of the films and the viewing/consuming participants, it at least poses the question, why are we continuing to engage with this? what is the value in this? why don't we, figuratively, take Rey/join Kylo and breakout of this tired, eternal framework, and go liberate the casino planet?
fwiw, i enjoyed/loved star wars and empire when i was a kid, and still feel those films have artistic value. but baby yoda, baby boba fett: even if it has period accurate space combat, it's for babies.
