  • Honestly TFA had a lot going for it. JJ is great at setting up mysteries (except how Anakin’s lightsaber came back), but he is absolute trash at wrapping up those mysteries. Cinematography has never been a weak point in Star Wars.

    TLJ I thought was awesome when I saw it in the theater. But every viewing since I have liked less and less. After at least 6 or 7 viewings I no longer think it’s a very good movie. The Kylo/Rey scenes being just about the only interesting thing happening onscreen. John Boyega and and Oscar Isaac were wasted completely, Admiral Holdo was a walking plot hole, the slow speed space chase, and the physics (which come on it’s star wars, it’s always fantastical) felt like they were cranked up in terms of ridiculousness.

    How was it that Rose and Finn could leave the space chase at will but no one else could? They couldn’t shuttle people out? Or you know, BRING SOME FUEL BACK WITH YOU?

    I never saw the third one as I heard they veered back too far in the opposite direction, while still somehow barreling ahead with eliminating all living Skywalkers? Blah. Now I just get sad when I see Luke onscreen in whatever TV show he’s guest starring in.
