Completely agree. I hate mostly 4 things about this movie. This ridiculous Mary Poppins like scene of Leia flying through space, the completely unnecessary Harry Potter like chase on Canto Bight, how Luke was portrayed from beginning to the end. Luke should have died like a hero, committed from the very first second. Not as a bitter man as shown. But what drives me nuts more than anything else, Abrams truly created a cool and brilliant villain with a incredible look everybody enjoyed and supported in the franchise. Mostly a worthy successor to Vader. And what does Johnson do in the very first scene? Letting Kylo Ren destroy his mask and though his signature style. I mean, Adam Driver surely is some brilliant actor. But nearly every child, and myself, would have loved to see more of Kylo‘s cool attitude from Episode 7, but which is completely gone when only showing Driver‘s babyface...
Got a tip for us?

I know the article frames Johnson's remarks from a security perspective, but I suspect his "airgap" protocol was mainly to write in a distraction free environment.
You can steal data over the air withiut network connections but this MacBook Air should avoid that...until someone finds a method.

Problem is getting all your friends to do that too. Star Wars isn't a movie to watch alone.

Same. Reading reviews beforehand ruins it.
Sorry but this doesn’t make sense. You clearly are afraid of strong women.... thanks for clarifying btw.... as you brought it up originally. You could have glossed over it in your mind and never have posted that precise criticism. I hate to break it to you but SW has pretty much been irrational aggressive men being problematic since day 1, and 4. This time they addressed it head on - and it was as another user mentioned - sound reasoning.

I never understood the reasoning behind researching as much as possible a film before hand. Then again I see folk talking about prerelease spoilers on media they intend to consume and it surely must ruin it? I go into movies blind and the only misfire I made was that deep horizon movie. I was hoping for a 90’s style action disaster flick and didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped.... same for San Andreas and the Independence Day 2 flick. The only 3 films in modern memory I actively disliked. Trailers are too spolierific too I just turn up to the movies late lol
I’m glad I didn’t see people moaning about this before hand as I would have focussed more on trying to prove them wrong than enjoying the movie as I did.
Haha, exactly! None of these stories about this would exist if all the writers weren't itching to say "air-gapped", which makes them feel like real "hackers"!
Hopefully he also glued the USB and Thunderbolt ports shut (ref: Evil Maid attacks).
Moreover this isolation explains a lot: like the terrible plot with massive QE2 sized plot-holes and Deus Ex machina contraptions.

It was great! You're right. Cry babies who don't like it are basically upset that there is now a Star Wars movie that actually makes you think.
I love The Last Jedi, but every Star Wars movie has stuff in it to make one think, if you allow it.
