Where I'm at right now with my feelings on TLJ. Saw it twice. Wouldn't have but we had tickets. It was pure shit imho.
I'm placing it only above TPM and AOTC but the more time passes, the more I think about it. The more I wonder if it truly belongs beneath even those.

Because for all the problems the PT had. And there were a lot of problems. And I'm not absolving them of their abject terribleness. I think you can chalk all the issues in the PT up to the in general incompetence of George Lucas calling all the shots. Merchandising and general incompetence.
But with TLJ. The only thing that I feel wafting off this turd is maliciousness from it's sole writer and director. All it's bs. It's throwing away of introduced plot points from TFA. The disrespect of Luke's character. The plot holes. The terrible, terrible writing.
It feels intentional. It's bad in a way that feels directly intentional. A big "fuck you" to it all.

I can dismiss the PT as incompetence.
But TLJ feels intentionally malicious in every way.

It absolutely feels like asshole Rian Johnson never even watched a SW movie before. Didn't care about established characters, already introduced plot elements or the rules by which certain things function in that universe. It's so complete in it's dismantling of everything it handles that it can't possibly be anything other than intentional.
