When I had to vote on this, I had to come to terms with my ever-evolving perspective on SW.I've always loved the OT and that has never changed.
When I first watched the PT in theaters, I hated TPM and AOTC and thought ROTS was a mishmash of greatness and failure. Many years later, I tolerate TPM (due to its many positive moments), I like AOTC and I absolutely love ROTS. Overall, I love the PT now.
When I first viewed TFA for the first 40 times, I loved it. I believed it was a given that TLJ and Ep. IX would pay it off. I mean, why you would you ever make a movie chock-full of interesting plot mysteries with no intention of resolving them in interesting ways? Why would a huge property ever allow something like this? So I thought there was no chance in the world there weren't good answers to these questions. And then the mess that was TLJ happened, retroactively destroying TFA in retrospect and proving my belief was naive. As a whole, the ST is extremely disappointing. Is there a chance for retribution like how ROTS, in time, helped save the PT in my head? Yes, but it's slim. It's ALL about the story for me. So far the ST's story as a whole is garbage, and unless Ep. IX can acrobatically evolve the story as a whole, then the ST will remain garbage.
So...you can amicably go on about your business and stop harassing me, or I will start reporting you. Your choice. I hope you'll do the wise thing and go bug someone else.
