Proto_Spark 10/09/22 7:10:00 PM #30:	The people who hate Star Wars the most is always Star Wars fans. But also because the ST was a disjointed awkward mess that showed Disney saw Star Wars as another Marvel and didn't actually care about a cohesive story in any way shape or form. TFA was actually a pretty good start - it retread a lot of ground from a New Hope, but was still enough of its own movie and very directly set up a platform for the rest of the trilogy to go in a different direction. TLJ went in that new direction and at the very least, had an interesting and different set up for the final movie and could have led to a really good finale. I'm just gonna leave it there because I Don't care if you didn't like TLJ. But then TRoS threw everything away in an attempt to pander to the crowd that would hate the movie regardless. Threw away literally everything that could have been used to make a decent story from the previous 2 movies, randomly brought Palpatine back because they wanted our little Incel school shooter to get a redemption he didn't deserve, and the single most awkward kiss in the entire series (which let me remind you, has a kiss between 2 siblings), and speaking of pandering to incel shit, downgrading Rose from "secondary supporting character to give Finn something to do that isn't try to ** Rey" to "rebel with a line of dialogue". Poe and Finn both get downgraded to paling around with Rey while she goes on a scavenger hunt, stupid BS like pretending Rey killed Chewie and then immediately saying lol nvm, and FUCKING PALPATINE If TRoS at least tried to continue from TLJ instead of ignore it, I think the whole thing would be remembered more fondly. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:968605254] in Why do so ...

But also because the ST was a disjointed awkward mess that showed Disney saw Star Wars as another Marvel and didn't actually care about a cohesive story in any way shape or form. TFA was actually a pretty good start - it retread a lot of ground from a New Hope, but was still enough of its own movie and very directly set up a platform for the rest of the trilogy to go in a different direction. TLJ went in that new direction and at the very least, had an interesting and different set up for the final movie and could have led to a really good finale. I'm just gonna leave it there because I Don't care if you didn't like TLJ. But then TRoS threw everything away in an attempt to pander to the crowd that would hate the movie regardless. Threw away literally everything that could have been used to make a decent story from the previous 2 movies, randomly brought Palpatine back because they wanted our little Incel school shooter to get a redemption he didn't deserve, and the single most awkward kiss in the entire series (which let me remind you, has a kiss between 2 siblings), and speaking of pandering to incel shit, downgrading Rose from "secondary supporting character to give Finn something to do that isn't try to ** Rey" to "rebel with a line of dialogue". Poe and Finn both get downgraded to paling around with Rey while she goes on a scavenger hunt, stupid BS like pretending Rey killed Chewie and then immediately saying lol nvm, and FUCKING PALPATINE If TRoS at least tried to continue from TLJ instead of ignore it, I think the whole thing would be remembered more fondly. This is pretty much exactly how I feel. And like I've said, it really ruined the rest of the trilogy for me where I don't want to so any of the three films ever again. <cite>Ar0ge posted [p:968605754] in Why do so ...

You can't just pick up one up like it's a regular sword and start fighting, but Rey does it anyway. Never found this to be a problem. The movies never establish lightsabers require special training.

BakonBitz 10/09/22 8:03:56 PM #44:	I didn't think it was terrible at all either, though Rise of Skywalker essentially ruined whatever it might have been building up by majorly course-correcting just because of TLJ's mixed reception. They're entertaining and well-acted movies by themselves certainly, which is more than I would say for the prequel trilogy. But as a whole the continuity is fucked. And there are some things about TLJ that don't quite hold up to scrutiny in terms of writing, but I did appreciate what it tried to do. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:968606271] in Why do so ...
