Interesting perspective. Can’t tell if that makes you a fan of the last Jedi or have a low opinion of Star Wars in general.
In the near decade since TLJ premiered I’ve litigated my problems with it countless times but it’s probably the best movie in the sequel trilogy. Personally I’d rank The Force Awakens as the better Star Wars movie. Despite it being a basic rehash of the high points of various parts of ANH and the saga, it at least wasn’t a tonal miss like TLJ or a series killing stinker like Rise of Skywalker.
My rankings go ESB > RotJ > RotS > ANH > TPM > TFA > AotC > TLJ > RoS
obvi i disagree on the tonal miss, but we can all come together to lament TRoS.
for me, TFA is a better movie than both TPM and AotC, but as you said, it is completely a rehash. JJ’s ST movies completely fail in originality compared to the PT. only TLJ actually tried to spin out something new for the universe.
If the authors followed the rejection of the entire main story-line by rejecting the main characters and making something really different, it would be better. (Keeping Yoda was fine, though.)
I didn’t want something different. I like Star Wars. I wanted more Star Wars building on the universe. If you don’t like Star Wars watch something else. The entire sequel trilogy sucks ass. They had a fuckton of EU material to draw on and we got shit.
cute, i chuckled.
TLJ is second only to ESB in the saga.
