[QUOTE=sy2502;1604341511]Caught the last Star Wars movie, only because I get Disney+ for free. I refused to see it in theaters even if I could have seen it for free, just because I'm so over this trilogy. And this last one didn't disappoint in how messed up it was. Looks like JJ Abrahams went right back to his "Lost" days of making a series from one episode to the next without ever bothering making a full story arc for the whole thing, and if one episode completely contradicts the one before... aw shucks, too bad.
Also lazy writing, lots of rehashing of the original trilogy, but badly done. If I want to see the original, I watch the original, I don't need his crappy reinterpretation. This one is a mishmash of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with no drama and build up whatsoever. They wanted to redo the whole "Luke I'm your father" thing, and it was more of a "yo' I'm alive even though I was deader than dead, and guess what, I'm your gramps" "no chit. Anyway, what were we saying..."
One thing's for sure, from now on, encyclopedias will have a picture of Rey next to the expression "Mary Sue" (and now call me sexist because muh strong female lead).
I was hoping something better when I saw The Force Awakens, then it all went to chit with the 2nd. The 3rd tried to pick itself up from the pits the whole thing had fallen into, including bringing back geriatric original characters, but as the saying goes, you can't polish a turd. Glad this whole debacle is over. Makes "Rogue One" and "The Mandalorian" look like masterpieces in comparison.[/QUOTE]
They should have left it alone with the original trilogy. I remember how enthralled I was seeing the original in a theater that I blew out out my meager savings to watch it 6 more times. Jedi and Strikes Back weren't as amazing but still better than anything since. I watched some of the one with "Jar Jar Binks" and haven't watched any since.
