@Birdie In Johnsons own words he aims to have half his audience like his movie and half to hate it,
I find this rationale bizarre. In the absence of an official report you assume that radio silence bolsters your argument. What will it take? A personalized memo from her desk stating that she's busy at work?Yeah right, the person who has more staged personal photo shoots that any other Studio President in history is busy at work and cant make a comment while the Star Wars universe is burning. Sure thing.
He's basically saying that he wants to stir strong emotions in viewers. Normally I would say that it's disengenous to pull up a quote from a ten year old interview, but it does seem to be pertinent to TLJ. I thought that Brick and Looper were both pretty strong movies (haven't seen Bothers Bloom), but he was the wrong pick for Star Wars, as were Lord & Miller and Trevorrow. Which comes back to Kennedy...
Edit: I understand most of the issues with TLJ, even if I don't necessarily agree with all of them, but I'm genuinely mystified with the hatred of the milking scene. A man's gotta drink!
That's not correct either. If Mace kills him and then says "i killed him, now I get to rule the galaxy" then, yes, he becomes what he's been fighting against. If he kills him and then admits it and lets the council do what they have to, he does not.
For humor, what happens if he defeats him and captures him. You really think they tie him up in that thing Obi wan was in in ATOC for eternity? He clearly doesn't need a saber, he can melt a plastic prison, electrify a metal one, and kill anyone that gets within 20 feet of him. He doesn't exactly have an alternative.
I think that clip speaks to his desire to make something more than a Hollywood factory issue summer blockbuster, rather than something that's fine, good even, but utterly forgettable in 3-5 years. That's an artistic desire I can respect, even if I don't always like the outcome. Brick, for example, didn't click with me.
The one element you are missing is the fact that all life is sacred. Even if that person is the most evil person in the galaxy. They are still a living breathing person. In the real world he have the concept of innocent until proven guilty. The ability to take a person's life should not be taken lightly. Mace Windu is struggling with a moral conundrum.
Sorry folks, but this looks like a Friday trolling.
I've seen TLJ 4 times now. At first I thought the milking scene was done for laughs. But the way he drinks the milk and it runs down his beard. And Rey's reaction. It's gross, it's meant to be gross, Luke's trying to get rid of her. So he's purposefully trying to gross her out. Luke's really cranky. He's talked himself into believing that he's doing the right thing. Then out of the blue this girl with his dad's lightsaber shows up. And I think he knows that she's there to replace him, to do what he wouldn't. And that he's waisted his time.

4 Times?
You Sir are a braver man than me:lol
Mace didn't struggle with his decision after Palpatine attacked with lightning, he made the choice (correctly) that Palpatine was too dangerous. Anakin was the one struggling, not with the morality of killing an unarmed Sith (he was fine with killing Dooku on his knees with no hands) but with his own selfish desire to gain the power Palpatine promised him.
Perhaps to you, I see the look of determination from a man who knows what must be done, even if he doesn't want to.:lol thanks. While it's not favorite Star Wars or movie. It's not the worst either. I really don't think it's as bad as people think it is.

It's pretty subjective to go by expression alone, the entire scene with dialogue has to be considered to get the context.
