Chargers DE has strong 'Star Wars' take
Solo, the latest Star Wars spinoff, released in theaters this week - but Star Wars fan and Chargers star Joey Bosa is still trying to get over the disappointment of The Last Jedi.
Prior to a golf event at Riviera, Bosa ripped Episode VIII and delivered a strong message to TLJ director Rian Johnson.
Via ESPN:
With 'Solo' coming out, are you interested in seeing that?
"I am. I was pretty disappointed with the last film ['The Last Jedi']. So my interest in the rest of these movies is slowly dwindling because the last one was such a big letdown. But I'll definitely see it."
What was the letdown for you?
"It was just not a good movie. Bad plot. Didn't make sense. Horrible jokes. Just corny lines throughout the whole movie. It wasn't a Star Wars movie. They tried to make it more of a Marvel movie if anything. Rian Johnson just stay away from Star Wars, please. ['Last Jedi'] was terrible."
Bosa's disappointment with TLJ is understandable. Despite getting rave reviews from critics initially, the movie elicited some major fan backlash online, and has just a 46% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
