      Episode 9 is also pretty bad, from an editing perspective. Everything just moved too fast, and nothing felt like it had proper buildup.

      That was the last movie I saw before the pandemic, and I didn’t go to the theater again until October 2022.

      I felt like the movie was so bad that it ushered in the end times.

      I tryed so hard to enjoy it, you guys!

      you have to have a very high IQ to understand the star wars sequels. The subtext is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the extended universe most of the references will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Luke’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Kilji Illumine literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this allegory, to realise that they’re not just worldbuilding- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the sequels truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rey’s famous line “Somehow palpatine returned” which itself is a cryptic reference to how palpatine’s force spirit possessed the clones of himself he had prepared in advance. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J. J. Abrams’s genius wit unfolds itself on the cinema screens. What fools… how I pity them

    I second the holiday special, and nine is absurd. That part with the dagger is one of the worst things I’ve seen in a movie.

    Lifelong fan of SW. I have seen all of them up to Last Jedi. I have read all of the EU back when it was cannon. Never went to New Jedi Order. Because the emotions it brought me were pain and suffering. They kill Mara Jade. The only other bad ass female character in a series of 30+ books. What about Children of the Jedi? I mean the entire Trilogy is whiny 70’s sci fi emo writing all it’s own but that the Star Wars stamp was put on it just adds insult to injury.
