WITNESS!

A most fantastic villain in two Mad Max films is awaited in Valhalla. May you ride eternal,  shiny, and chrome.

Sad news. Thanks for sharing. He was also in Stone, although I don't think I ever saw it.

"Jesse, Jesse...you've not goh a sense of humah."

It was pointed out in something I watched that Hugh changed his accent throughout Mad Max. Outside of the car chases, he was the best thing about Mad Max. He was one of those interesting villains, like Hans Gruber.

A good villain needs to be a good villain. It makes the movie--like Darth Vader vs. Han and Leia's kid.

Everyone who hates on Kylo (who wasn't the villain, btw) and says Vader was better is clearly not remembering the prequel trilogy. Anakin had to have been the worst character in the series, worse even than jarjar. 
It's like a guy I know that says there hasn't been any good music created since Motley Crue called it quits.  Vince Neil sucked. Fight me. 
 

*edit. A better analogy would be guys like Joe Dirt. Favorite bands: VanHalen, NOT VanHagar. Clearly, the group was better (more mature, musical, versatile) with Mr. Hagar, but so many rabid fans will nearly come to violence screaming the opposite.

Kylo was never supposed to be the villian there, the writers were.

Besides, Matt The Radar Tech said Kylo was totally cool, and that dude knows his stuff

Face it.

Han Solo was the real villain.

He was a drug smuggler, employed by a crime lord who helped a bunch of crazy teenagers blow up the death star.

All those poor people sticking it out in their miserable day job, hoping for a pension and a nice retirement someday and here comes a bunch of backwater hillbillies who don't like the "gubmint" and blow it all to hell.

Bounty hunters, soldiers and public servants are accepted, legitimate professions.

Rebels and smugglers are criminals.

Star Wars is just the Dukes Of Hazzard in space.
