I've found no valid arguments as to why TLJ is that bad. Star Wars is a franchise that's always been more about its epic nature than storytelling originality. I enjoyed TLJ for everything it was and I was not left disliking it for any reason.
The Star Wars fanbase is impossible to please, but personally I want them to continue with trying to be more creative like they were with TLJ. I mean, did anyone expect going into that movie that Snoke wouldn't survive it? Who does that leave as a main antagonist?
You're not looking very hard then...there's plenty of valid reasons to hate TLJ.
Nope. Zero. I think you know this, seeing as you can't provide a single one.
Here's some of the stupid arguments I've heard...
"It's not political enough!" or "Too much SJW propaganda!" I've heard both. If you're looking for political messages in movies, then you need to stop watching them. Not everything needs to be politicized. Why can't you enjoy an epic movie for what it is? I've seen people criticize video games for not having "any anti-Trump message" - which defies the very point of what video games should be. Like a game, Star Wars is meant to be FUN. And TLJ was fun. It's more concerned about its epic nature than it is storytelling creativity. Political messages shouldn't be in everything and the fickle need to learn how to appreciate things for what they are.
"It just isn't good!" An opinion is a stance on something supported by factual statements. This is not an opinion. There's no supporting evidence, therefore it's just a false statement that can be ignored.
"Luke dying at the end is a huge disservice to the series!" Uh... this trilogy is the story of Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ben. It's not the story of Luke and Leia anymore, and at least Luke got a proper sendoff. He went out like a badass, using astral projection to provide a diversion and still kicking ass despite not physically being there. That's one of the most badass sendoffs in cinema history. He got a proper ending, unlike his sister. Why can't that be appreciated? And hey, Yoda came back from disappearing into the Force. Why can't Luke?
"It resembles ESB too much!" This is a completely true statement, but in what world is that a bad thing? It's not! They took the best of the most beloved Star Wars movie and put a fresh spin on it. They mixed what they knew worked with a risk and it paid off well - it was a more interesting movie than TFA that for once made the story matter. Even if that's not what the series is meant to be about.
Those are just four that came to mind, all invalid arguments from hateful individuals. Whatever happened to seeking the positives? TLJ has more than enough.
And none of those are my arguments. At this point I'm just sick of talking about this train wreck of a movie...that's why I gave you no reasons. I don't feel like going down that rabbit hole today. ---
