I had fun with Other M. It lines up with sensibilities of the time. "The baby" and all--definitely corny and melodramatic but I resonate with it. It's earnest.

Last Jedi is a product of the miserable, cynical outlook of the mid-10s leading up to now. For one, the idea that the heroes of the past are old hat, 'outdated', has always confused me. Those stories are prevailing for a reason. Star Wars has been relentlessly spoofed for as long as it's ever been a thing, but to try and 'fix' it within the film canon proper is a step over the line. Instead of building on the foundation that was already there, the sequels hack into Star Wars over and over until left standing in a pile of splinters. 'Deconstruction' can't hold without substance.

The final battle on the mining planet was neat, visually.
