The fact that you didn't know that I wrote one is why you shouldn't do what you've been doing in this thread up until your little clarification there - which is still you treating your personal view of what SW should be as the one true objective, but hey, at least it's slightly less gatekeep-y. Fun fact: the article I wrote was a defense of certain elements of the SW prequels, one of which was the non-accidental portrayal of the Jedi as a rather shitty dogma that fell in part due to its own hubris. This was three years before TLJ came out, mind you. Isn't it confirmed that Lucas wanted to do basically the same thing with Luke as TLJ did? This would appear to give people who liked TLJ the upper hand in a pissing match over who's a bigger SW fan and understands the mythology better, yet if someone hears out my "mental gymnastics" and still doesn't like Luke's portrayal, I tend to just accept that. A question - what are you looking to do here? It seems the mission was to at first bait me into giving you minutes of my time and now it looks to be that you just want to own me (likely through humiliation), I notice that it's clearly me that you have your eyes set on in this thread but nobody else here who has also expressed dislike for The Last Jedi. I would say you have made your stance quite clear(in other discussions) and mine as well, we are not going to agree on the matter and nobody will change the mind of anyone. Doesn't look to me like you're debating Star Wars at all. It's personal. You did say the people who tend to like it are Rian Johnson fans or casual fans. It has nothing to do with the movie.
That's my take/guess. Other people say they don't like TLJ, but they're not guessing at ulterior motivations for sticking by it.
