Jedi: Fallen Order writer ‘didn’t like’ Last Jedi’s execution

From VGC: "The veteran writer and designer, who most notably helmed Obsidian’s Knights of the Old Republic 2, said that while he enjoyed “some bits” of The Last Jedi, overall he “didn’t like the execution” of its story."

Despised TLJ. Lost all interest in the movies because I hated it so much. Didn’t see Solo. Won’t be going to see Ep 9. Still have some interest in new Star Wars games though, so I hope this game turns out well.

Casepb2233d ago

I enjoyed Solo more than TLJ for sure. That being said it wasn't great, but still mostly good. The guy who played Han sure tried his best, but he just didn't fit good enough.

Nacho_Z2233d ago

I wasn't going to watch Solo because I didn't like the casting but I stuck it on one day and was pleasantly surprised. Einreich wasn't great but he was better than I expected and I liked the more light hearted tone. Arguably the best film since the original trilogy although that's not saying a lot.

VenomUK2233d ago

"I thought that portrayal of Luke Skywalker was very weak. I thought they gave him a scapegoat role that wasn’t merited and didn’t fit with his character, in my opinion."

This sentiment is widely held.

CorndogBurglar2233d ago

I never believe this when I see it. You know you will watch Episode 9. Maybe not in theatres. (I don't go to the movies anymore because it stopped being fun). But you know you will watch it.

zombiewombie2233d ago

See, the clue here is "wont be GOING." Going implies a theater. Idk where you pulled out never watching this movie.

Harryvok2232d ago

I haven’t even watched TLJ a second time. Gave all my Star Wars collectables to a friend who sold them for me a a toy fair. I’m done with the movies, I just have no interest anymore.

kikicub2233d ago

Nerd rage is hilarious. It's just a movie.

ReVibe2233d ago (Edited 2233d ago )

You can say that about most stuff, but Star Wars is a legacy, the modern myth, all that jazz. People've grown up with it, shared the "magic" with their kids.

So dismissing it as material discontent is kinda.... trolly.

rainslacker2232d ago

The first one was alright. Had some issues. But they really went off the deep end with trying to just do away with whatever was set up in the first one. I'm not some crazed star wars fan, and while I enjoy the series, I don't really care about it that much. I enjoy the movies, and sometimes the side stuff they make, but the 2nd movie was just stupid and disjointed.

sampsonon2233d ago

and it will still make 2 billion. i liked them :) like most people did.

bloop2233d ago

Audience ratings say otherwise. And I honestly don't think ep.9 will make anything near TFA or TLJ.

W34KN35S2233d ago

same here , although im a casual fan at best , the constant pandering they did and political agendas they shoved down viewers throats in place of proper story telling really left a bad taste in my mouth. I wont see this one unless I hear good reviews from people I trust and they didnt enjoy TLJ either.

Outlawzz2233d ago

Didn't feel like star wars. But it's a new era, nothing we can do. Im ready to move on from skywalkers storyline tho. There's still so much potential in star wars cinema.

Gr8saiyaman882233d ago

TLJ was bantha poodoo for sure

EazyC2232d ago

It's one of those movies that have a complete chasm between what critics said and what audiences thought.

rainslacker2232d ago

Solo wasn't that bad. But it was longer than it needed to be, and somewhat predictable.

Neither did I.

Thunder_G0d_Bane2233d ago

All the new Star Wars movies are trash.

Except Rogue One which was pretty good.

Shane Kim2233d ago

At least number 7 had some fan service. Number 8 just threw everything out up to that point and this ryan johnson guy just freestyled his way through.

optimus2233d ago

i firmly believe that the director ryan johnson just wasn't a fan of star wars. the whole thing just seemed to have been pieced together from ideas written on a napkin at a cocktail party. he just didn't know how to tell a cohesive story and ruined it for everyone....

too bad disney pulled the plug on the forced unleashed being canon. i just found out that it was because they made star killer too powerful for an apprentice...if they had toned down his powers it would have made for a great storyline to branch off of in closing the Skywalker saga.

CorndogBurglar2233d ago

Its all good. It looks like we're getting a Knights of the Old Republic film series.

AirJohnston2233d ago

Too bad it’s by the Game of Thrones guys. They’ll be the most Hollywood movies ever

optimus2233d ago

maybe so but that's just going even further backwards. i'd rather move forward with the stories...i wouldn't mind if they introduced that Katan jedi from jedi knight 2 and continue with his story...i just caught ep.7 ver the weekend and forgot bout the scene of ray's parents leaving her behind. they could use that and make one of her parents that katan guy since they established luke as not being her father.

DaniMacYo2233d ago (Edited 2233d ago )

Dito, the movie got me hyped then 30 minutes in I wanted the film to be over. The force awakens had me glued. But not the sequel. Anyways, I’m looking forward to this new game, should be great fun.

Darth Vader's Scariest Depiction Is in a Video Game

There have been plenty of depictions of Darth Vader in various media forms, but his appearance in Jedi: Fallen Order is by far the most fearsome.

Sciurus_vulgaris824d ago

I strongly disagree. Vader was more intimidating in Rogue One and the Obi-Wan series.

mkis007824d ago

I know what your saying but fallen order was scarier for me. Dont know shy.

myfathersbastard823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

Yeah his rogue one scene and his first encounter with Obi Wan in Obi Wan were pure monster movie type stuff.
Although he had the same vibes in Fallen Order.
Really this just shows how much good Vader we’ve gotten in recent years. That’s how Vader works best imo. As an unstoppable nightmare.

Jedi: Fallen Order is the Most Important Star Wars Game

Jedi: Fallen Order represents canon content in a Star Wars game alongside a thrilling narrative and balanced gameplay mechanics.

CrimsonWing691645d ago

Best Star Wars game, in my opinion.

PrimeVinister1645d ago

I would agree. There have been some amazing games (but mostly terrible) but JFO beats all.

And I respect how good the first Battlefront for GC was. This isn't a recency bias.

ChristianReggieWait1645d ago

OG Battlefront was amazing, and quite easy to run on PC when it released if i remember correctly!

ChristianReggieWait1645d ago

Yep. Honourary mentioned goes to Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy though ♥️

SegaGamer1645d ago

Those two are still my favourite Star Wars games.

CorndogBurglar1645d ago

TIE Fighter is by far the best Star Wars game ever made.

glennhkboy1644d ago

I must say The Knight of the Old Republic is the BEST SW game ever!!!! TIE Fighter is the 2nd best. :)

Rocketisleague1645d ago (Edited 1645d ago )

8 out of 10 for me. Great game. The games it took mechanics from did them better, sekiro did the combat better and other cinematic games handled that aspect better. Story was pretty great too.

Looking forward to the next respawn star wars game

One.of.my fav devs atm. With Titanfall, apex legends and star wars. Such a random genre to pick after working in mainly shooters and a great attempt, they have the experience for the nalext game now

Rocketisleague1645d ago (Edited 1645d ago )

To me this is clear cut, kotor is the best star wars game, they was bioware in their prime, one if the best rpgs ever msde abf the best star wars story out if movies/series/games

Characters. Hk47 anyone?

Ratchet751645d ago

You clearly haven't played knights of the old republic.

brando0081644d ago

Exactly what I was thinking lol. JFO is a fantastic game, but it's still not on KOTOR's level imo

Notellin1644d ago

I'm still going with Knights of the Old Republic. Jedi Knight 2, Pandemic's Battlefront 2 (the irony), and Jedi Fallen Order are all good enough I can't decide a runner up.

darthv721645d ago

Force Unleashed used to be my top but now this has taken that place. Such a good game / story.

ChristianReggieWait1645d ago

It's a culmination of Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy/Force Unleashed for me. It really Is a cracker!

ChristianReggieWait1645d ago

It's an absolute belter, but it's no longer considered canon. It's a tragedy but it looks like the upcoming High Republic push is going to address Revan etc

CorndogBurglar1645d ago

I don't know how. The High Republic era is long after the Old Republic era. I realize KOTOR is no longer canon, but shoving Revan into High Republic seems stupid, if thats true.

Bladesfist1645d ago

It's still my favourite game of all time

lex-10201644d ago

I agree Kotor is the best, but Fallen Order might have been the most important. It's officially Cannon and its success was hopefully a massive signal to EA that a high quality Single Play game without MicroTransactions still sells, and sells well.

SamPao1645d ago

Personally, I have great memories of of jedy academy, jedi outcast, kotor and The Force Unleashed.

Aaaand Bounty Hunter :)

ChristianReggieWait1645d ago

Same here, well bar Bounty Hunter. But in terms of canon content and overall experience, Fallen Order is up there ♥️

So....twice the mediocrity for your money.

Smitty20201820d ago

I really enjoyed Jedi fallen order, more like this plz and don’t fak it up.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1820d ago

Just give me KOTOR remake or remaster and we good EA.

CrimsonWing691820d ago

Why do I have a baaaaad feeling about this?

Godmars2901820d ago

No, its "I have a bad feeling about this..."

CrimsonWing691820d ago

Yeesss Tropic Thunder, I’m so glad you referenced it!

jjb19811820d ago

Only because the House of Mouse will whoop dat ass if they don't.

Godmars2901820d ago

Unless EA can make them as much as a movie, unless they mess up again on a scale of Battle Front 2 again, the House of Mouse could care less.

That's where their scale is.
