Michael Tucker of “Lessons from A Screenplay” is an absolute gun at examining the techniques used to tell great stories – and also looking at those that didn’t quite work.
Like *cough* Finn and Rose’s adventure in the Last Jedi.
Tucker says:
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a strange movie. The things it does well, it does very well, and the things it drops the ball on, it really drops the ball on.
In this video I look at the character arcs of Finn and Kylo Ren, comparing what works and what doesn’t.
And finally, I collect my thoughts on the idea of letting the past die.
