As a lifelong Star Wars fan, 7 was decent. I walked away thinking it was really just a repeat of 4, but it was also Disney’s first try at it so I gave it a little slack. It was a little sloppy in some places and had problems, but not something so tragic.
Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars. It was his lifelong goal, he said it on video. He got what he wanted. 8 was so monumentally bad that I can’t even be mad at 9. Half of 8 didn’t even matter and could have been a deleted scene. It didn’t even leave any loose ends for 9 to wrap up.
Then 9 comes out and while it was bad, it was still better than 8. I have to give JJ Abrams credit, I dont know how he even managed to write a follow up to 8.
I think my biggest gripe is how Disney squandered the opportunity they had to have the original cast together on screen at the same time for one last celebratory film. Well that and their fundamental misunderstanding of Star Wars.
Thankfully with Kathleen gone, maybe Favreau can have more breathing room to invite George for his direct opinion more. Favreau isn’t great either, but at least he has done better than what Kathleen oversaw, more or less.
