What makes the transition between TLA and TLJ not work for you when (I guess?) the transition between ANH and ESB does?

remember, this is a man who claims to Extremely Not Care about star wars lol

I care a lot about Star Wars. I just hate the discourse around it. I mean look at this poo poo. Me included! It’s madness yo!

Star Wars means a whole lot to me. And it always will no matter how frustrated I am with people who like or dislike it or whatever in between.

I’ll probably like it though. Unlike you who will bitch and bitch endlessly as you poo poo yourself because Rey wins or something

The issue with the film is more that it’s badly edited, the narrative is compromised by studio-mandated reshoots, the action scenes are largely poorly done, it’s overreliant on expository dialogue, it’s deeply conservative, none of the jokes land, it doesn’t actually function as a commentary on the rest of the series, and there are zero interesting designs.

Its loving coded responses too - he's implying if you don't like TLJ you're an alt-right CHUD who can't get over the fact that there is a woman in star wars!

gently caress him, double gently caress TLJ and triple gently caress CHUDS.

From my admittedly anecdotal experience it really does seem like Star Wars has been mortally wounded. People are just completely done with being fans of it after the past few debacles. Like even if you didn't hate TLJ you just don't care about the universe anymore.

It's true for me at least. I was pretty excited when I saw the yellow intro text scroll by in TFA, and I walked out pretty done with Star Wars, and TLJ just did the equivalent of a mercy killing of my love for the franchise

according to the rumor-based article that this is based on, it's not the emperor returning, just a hologram of the emperor appearing in a vault that kylo ren breaks into

The article cites Express, which is a tabloid that regularly cites Mike Zeroh for their Star Wars rumors, who is basically the modern Supershadow

Paul Saltines is the GOAT and I hope he shows up and says "DO IT" or maybe he's holding a pair of Nikes and he says "JUST DO IT" and then looks directly into the camera for a moment.

What debacles? I mean I'm still a fan and I still care about the universe. Just because a lot of blogs don't like a movie I liked isn't going to make me not give a poo poo. I didn't start liking the Star War because my friends or random people did.

Just think of Star Wars as the original trilogy only. Skip everything that came after it.

then he leaps and spins in the air (that's a good trick) and does the chaos dunk, obliterating the resistance fleet

Thats a fair point, but they should just write Ian McDermott a check in general no need for him to appear on screen again.
