last jedi is the 2nd best star wars movie. argue with a brick wall
Why argue with you if I can just laugh at you?
why would you laugh at me?
Considering A New Hope was the best movie according to a lot of people, it's not surprising that people would think A New New Hope was the second best.
If it didn't demote Finn from a growing protagonist and lead love interest to a clown who gets to have the demeaning side plot so fans could have their emo boy instead, and if Rei's barely-there character development didn't fly into that brick wall, and if Poe's moral of the story wasn't to learn how to bow to authoritarianism, I might have agreed with you.
I think that the film would've been great if it wasn't second in a trilogy.
It introduced three extra main characters to an already very packed cast, it killed practically all the story lines started in TFA, it basically broke the Star Wars setting with the Holdo Manoeuvre, and it ended by showing not just a Force Sensitive kid, but a kid that already uses the Force for mundane tasks with ease. After Order 66, this is something tremendously important, and shouldn't be used as a "cut to ending credits" scene, with the character never mentioned again.
If it was the third film in the trilogy, without all the Canto Bight stuff and with some resolution of the Rey vs Ben story, it'd be a solid 9/10 for me. But as it is, I struggle to give it more than 6.
You're not alone.
