Like, I came in with low expectations but this is such a massive waste of potential, even compared to the last two. Even compared to the prequel Trilogy.

The most you can get out of it is some pretty visuals.

You know those threads where posters tell a story one sentence at a time? It feels like that. Literally everything, both problem and solution, comes from a forced plot contrivance that's never mentioned before or after. There is no fucking logic to the entire movie.

No, i think it's about on par with where it always has been.

IMO, people are inflating just how great the original series is in their heads. It's always been a fun space opera pew-pew franchise heavily reliant on impressive special effects, a vaguely interesting background history and a memorable score that does more to set the tone than the awkward dialogue or oddly-strung-together plot.

I don't think any serious look at the original trilogy will place it at the same low level as the current trilogy. But regardless, if you are okay with the series staying at the same point it was at in the 70s and 80s, that's on you.

I'm fine with that.
Going in with inflated expectations doesn't seem to be working for others, and that's on them.

Lmao yes. For all its problems, Last Jedi has a cohesive vision that told a cohesive story, even if it wasn't the one we wanted, or even good at points. Rise of Skywalker, on the other hand, was a fast paced twisty movie with all the satisfaction of a wikipedia summary. It legitimately feels like everything was made up on the spot, and they never address any number of things that just flat out don't work, while both making problems and solutions with plot contrivances that are either never mentioned before or after, or are so bafflingly out of character that they feel like a parody.

No it didn't. Last Jedi cohesive story was a twist every five minutes just to subvert it with another twist.

They made things up because Last Jedi was so bad they had to cram an entire movies worth of plot into the first act

No it didn't. Last Jedi cohesive story was a twist every five minutes just to subvert it with another twist.

It still had cohesive themes and emotion behind it. Things were still hinted at, built up to, and given resolution, even when it was unsatisfying.

Compare that to the scene people liked in the trailer, Rey facing off against a TIE fighter and jumping over it. It's a really cool moment visually, but it falls apart instantly. Moments before, we saw Kylo with his Knights of Ren on a plateau, and then suddenly he's in a fighter flying straight at Rey. Not threatening even, he literally just flys at and over(rather under) her. Nothing explains why he isn't in his own ship. Nothing explains what he's trying to do. Nothing explains why the knights aren't with him. All of this would've been fine if that scene before didn't exist, but it does. All of this would've been fine if there was something explaining what was happening afterwards, but they just jump into the next action sequence which ends with the first emotional weight felt in the entire movie. But then it jumps to another scene that IMMEDIATELY removes that emotional weight by saying "oh no we were wrong" with no explanation or logic. Then the heroes move along with their quest with no closure to that encounter with Kylo - not unsatisfying closure, they literally never say how they get away from him.

I think this was my takeaway after seeing TRoS and having some time to think about the trilogy as a whole. Like the prequels, the second movie was the worst, but I think TFA being a little bit better than TPM as the first movie made the trilogy a little bit better in my eyes. Idk, I can see a lot of similarities in terms of comparing each movie really. Maybe they're both equally as bad lol.
