Film Theory: How Star Wars Theories KILLED Star Wars: The Last Jedi!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi quickly became one of the most polarizing movies of 2017. Critics loved it, but audiences HATED it. It's only natural to ask why this might be - who is to blame for this disparity? Well, Loyal Theorists, The Hollywood Reporter has an answer: They think it's ALL MY FAULT! And while this does sound ridiculous, it turns out they're right.

Hell. Yes. Matpat.
Bring down the giant that is Disney! >=D

[warwulf]

Disney star wars: You turned the Viewers against me?
MatPat: You have done that yourself.

I feel like you've articulated why I'm frustrated with TLJ better than I could for myself. Thank you for this video MatPat.

Basically, mat pat is saying "I'm not the reason your script sucks."

[turnip]

6:33 so what I think MatPat is trying to say is “we used logic and facts to figure out what we thought would happen, it’s not my fault 95% of your movie’s content came out of nowhere”

Moral of The Story: The critics and writers blames the audience for their failure

[kellenness]

MatPat: I’m not making another prediction theory.

Also MatPat: So in episode 9...

And here we are. 2 years later and we find out that they never had a plan and the fact that they didn’t respect the fans meant that any theory we made couldn’t be the answer because it would mean that we knew how to write their story better than they did and their egos were too big for that.

The problem is not that the fan theories weren't true. The problem is that the fan theories were so much better than what was shown in the actual movie.

Woo! Thanks for the inclusion, homie!

Rey: here is your father's lightsaber. One of the most important things in this galaxy. The thing that started your entire Jedi career.
Luke: * yeets it off a cliff and goes to drink some ballsack monster milk *

[Abcaik]

Imagine blaming a small yt channel for one of the centuries biggest movie brands flopping.

[Indyofthedead]

So let me get this straight: Hollywood is saying that the reason their movies suck is because we as audiences shouldn’t have high expectations for good story and plot development, because it makes filmmakers actually have to try to make a decent movie... and we should be happy with what they give us.

Madpat just blows my mind at this point, Disney comes out of nowhere and blames there mistakes on what they call " far fetched theory's " then Madpat comes back with the truth on what the mistakes were.




You're a Legend 😮😮😮

I had many theories for Endgame, and I still loved the movie

[joemorton]

Theories dont ruin movies. Theories hype up movies. No one goes in with a check list to star wars. The movie should be incredible and should leave you thinking, that was better than my movie. If the fans are the majority saying it's bad, its bad

[manuelgardete]

Game theory: ruins nintendo
Film theory: ruins disney
Its confirmed. Matpat is the one bringing chaos to our world. I knew it!
But hey... That's just a theory!

[Dammitimmad]

You still need to reenact the scene MatPat

[niagargoyle]

Another issue I have with the whole discussion is that a lot of people think that you can either love the movie or hate it, as if there were no middle ground.

I had fun watching the movie. It was entertaining from beginning to end. But every time I talk about how jarring it was when things just fizzled out with no payoff or happened with no lead up, everyone assumes that I hated the show.

Critics: I’m about to end this mans whole career

Mat pat: haha haha. No. REVERSE CARD
