"@mightydudbolt Its meant to tell us Look Im doing cinematography Its all about controlling the narrative on social media. It has to be obvious kitsch because if its done to some other end theres a danger someone might not get it. This way people will comment on the cinematography"

"@BonesAndEllie Lucas got hit with the "toy commercial" criticism a lot so Rian preempts this by making the ending a literal toy commercial. Not for Star Wars toys but a sentimental commercial for the concept of playing with Star Wars toys itself. https://x.com/JasonSokol3/status/2003638202377343265 Fans just straight up forget that TLJ ends with the Luke Skywalker characters regression into complete ideological fantasy while a bunch of kids play with his action figure The lesson is that Punished Luke wasnt sufficiently unwavering in his Republican ostalgie"

"@prelife_ @Darren_Mooney I find it interesting how the response to criticism of these films defaults to reframing the criticism as a criticism of film as a medium. Like were supposed to take for granted that these are the best possible versions of these films that could have existed"

"@ManaByte This won't happen because the Disney material doesn't have anything to do with imagination. It is aimed squarely at adult fans (where the money's at) and is designed to reassure them that consuming lots of Star Wars content is ideologically correct"
