Because he failed, and the next movie should have shown him learning from his failure. Failure, and learning from it, was the entire theme of the movie - Poe failed as an officer, Fin and Rose failed on their mission, Rey failed to redeem Kylo, and of course, the whole story was set in motion by Luke’s failure as a… Read more
I’m with you until the last paragraph. I don’t think a dumb path should have been charted in the first place. I think this has been said to death already, but hiring three different directors for the trilogy of new movies is fine. But, there should be a throughline for the writing of the trilogy where everyone’s sure… Read more
TLJ said “you know, Star Wars can tell a lot of different stories” and RotS responded with “nah.” Read more

After reading your comment I was able to find the handheld emulation device they… Read more

Oh no, Kotaku isn’t volunteering to be the Nintendo Copyright Police! This surely means the end for the site. Read more
That was definitely not stand-up at it’s highest level, even totally ignoring this. The fact that you think it was means you’re out of your fucking tree. Anyone who thinks this mediocre whinge-comedy is “peak stand-up” is some kind of moron, frankly. This is nowhere near peak Chapelle, let alone peak standup. That’s… Read more
Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t. Read more
