Every time I see people hating on the sequels (especially The Force Awakens) I wonder if Ive even seen the same movies.

The Force Awakens, especially, is just such a good movie. The iTs A rEmAkE argument against it is just so... lazy and not really accurate. Sure, if you look at it at the absolute most basic level, I could see that. But, then, the same could apply to Return of the Jedi too.

The Last Jedi isnt even THAT bad either. Time has certainly softened my opinion of it. Yes, theres some iffy parts to it. Yes, they probably should have reigned in Rian Johnson a little bit more. But theres still some good and even great parts to it.

And The Rise of Skywalker, I thought, was a fun movie. It was great seeing Rey, Poe, and Finn interacting with each, Threepio had a big role, Ian McDiarmid was fantastic as always. Nothing in it really struck me as completely nonsensical (within the Star Wars universe, of course ) so I really think that a lot of the whining is just bandwagon-hate.

I really dont see what the problem with these movies are to warrant such strong hatred. Is it because the old books (which were never canon ) were wiped away? Is it because the Rey character is a female? (Because if it was a guy, I could see a lot of people thinking that things she did in the movies was awesome...).

Ten years from now, though, people will look back at these more fondly. Im sure of it. Star Wars fans are incredibly fickle lol.
