I know, he made a bad movie on purpose. He purposely made it bad on purpose. imo. I doubt that. Listen to the audio commentary he recorded for the Blu-Ray in which he explains why he did the things he did. Among other things, Johnson is intentional on the theme of failure in the film. He certainly pulled off that theme in the movie.

(just a casual fan here). I finally got around to seeing Revenge of the Sith (it was on tv not too long ago) and was entertained enough by it. I wouldn't say SW is dead to me , But man , what Disney is doing with these SW films is definitely baffling . The new characters are NOT interesting and I can't for the life of me get into them . They are all one dimensional and boring imo. Will probably pass on seeing The Rise of Skywalker or whatever its called in theaters (esp after being burned by the The Farce Awakens & The Last Jedi, which both sucked horribly ) But I can't totally rip on what Disney has done with SW. I liked Rogue One enough to give it a 7/10 rating (the 3rd act with Vader was some boss level shit). But that was a stand alone film. This new trilogy sucks ass . Well respectfully I have to disagree with you when it comes to the New Characters, I myself actually do think that they are interesting and pretty cool (I LOVE REY!) but I know that we are all most definitely entitled to our own thoughts, feelings, and opinions. You are definitely entitled to yours and I am entitled to mine.

As much as it pains me to say it, yes. The analogy I use with the sequel trilogy is that of a beloved dog. Imagine that the OT was a beloved dog that had been dead for several years. J.J. Abrams said with TFA, "Look, I can create a clone your of old dog. The clone looks like your dog, he sounds like your dog, he smells like your dog, he is your dog." And while some fans would have a preferred a new dog, most were happy to get their old dog back. Then with the TLJ, Rian Johnson screwed the pooch, set it on fire, and then took a pickaxe to its charred remains. And now J.J. is back saying, "It's a wrap. I took the dog for a walk in new and exciting places!" Excuse me? The dog is dead. The dog will never walk again. It's over! And TutuAnimationPrincess, the difference between Jar Jar and TLJ is the treatment of Star Wars fans by Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm. For a year and a half, they have ignored all valid criticism, and instead attacked their customers. Lucasfilm has been saying, "Oh no we didn't make a bad movie, if you didn't like it, then you're a bad person." That kind of attitude is why Solo bombed and why TROS will likely underperform. Star Wars has been so much more than just the OT for a while now. I'm not going to get all "principled" because a few heads at Disney are overreacting to trolls on social media over, once again, just one genuinely bad film. |

Not at all. Rogue One is my 2nd fav SW film & it's in this new crop.
I'm actually looking forward to new adventures, get this Skywalker stuff over with, it's time.

Was never much of a Star Wars fan in the first place, but as a casual viewer the recent crop of Star Wars movies have been entirely watchable. Okay, Solo was bad, but otherwise they are fine.
IMO, anybody who has watched the prequels has no business walking away because of the new ones. Those movies sucked elephant balls.
