Actually, what is WRONG with that entire GALAXY? Everyone in this movie is retarded. EVERYONE! No wonder one man was able to take over the whole shebang, he's manipulating a universe full of IDIOTS.

—The Distressed Watcher on Revenge of the Sith

There’s this thing in writing, where you couldn’t have a plot unless the characters are really stupid. You see it mostly in low budget horror movies. Where if the characters were smart, they wouldn’t get in trouble, but instead it’s like hey, there’s an axe murderer, let’s go off by ourselves to smoke pot and have sex. Yeah…. That’s this level of writing. The plot only exists because all the characters are too stupid to live.

— Larry Correia in My Russian Bot Review of The Last Jedi

Reading a story written by idiots is bad enough, but reading a story written by idiots that’s also about idiots is even worse.

—Fred Clark, criticizing Left Behind

The Chernobyl Diaries: It should have been called Six Dumbasses In Search of a Clue

—Slate.com headline

Idiocy looks to be a common theme in this film.

—The Agony Booth's recap of Wild Wild West
