*sigh*

TLJ was a mess through and through. It's got nothing to do with politics. Rian Johnson wanted to make his own movie and didn't care that it was the eighth movie in a series. I mean, let's just look at the opening bit. He brought in arguably the WORST designed bomber ships of all time, ignoring the blatantly superior Y-Wing, just so he could have a sci-fi bombing run. Things like anti-fighter turrets that couldn't handle a common fighter type because 'it's too low and fast'... which is like having a fly-swatter with holes big enough for flies to fit through. You could literally poke a narrative hole in it every minute. Worst of all the film seemed to be utterly littered with subversions that served no point other than to subvert.

Like, imagine if someone watched Episode V and decided they could do better... but did so by cutting all the characters and replacing them with interpretive dancers who speak exclusively in swahili and replaced the sets with bright primary colors before topping it off with having the editor huff paint before doing their job. That's... basically TLJ.
