Why We Should Be More Open To The Changes In 'The Last Jedi'

Many people dive into movies and television shows they love and even try to embody some of the characters.

I’ve always wondered why people get so emotional during movies and television shows. I will admit, there are quite a few shows and movies that have definitely made certain feelings rise in me, especially if it’s a movie or show that I’m really invested in. However, some people get so emotionally connected to some films to the point where they actually go insane or just lose their cool over some minor things.

Case in point, we all know that the new "Star Wars" movie, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," recently came out. Me being a huge "Star Wars" fan, I went to see it with a few of my friends. Prior to going, I heard some reviews that it was the worst "Star Wars" movie ever, that this movie was a disgrace to the franchise, blah blah blah. I also heard amazing reviews about the movie, so regardless, I was going to see it and enjoy it because of my love for the franchise.

Even though I respect other people’s opinions, some people’s reasoning for saying this movie sucked made no sense. For instance, one person stated that they hated the fact that Luke’s character seemed so dry (don’t worry, for those of you reading who haven’t seen it yet, this doesn’t spoil anything). It’s crazy how people think that Hollywood should do what they want them to do, and if a movie isn’t what that individual wanted, then the movie is instantly “trash” or “the worst movie ever made.” As fans of something, people should be more open to characters in movies and television shows developing in different ways, changing directions a bit, and sometimes becoming a completely different character. That’s what makes things unique: progression. But what do I know really, I’m just a nerd who really loves "Star Wars."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
