I think 8 is the biggest steaming pile of garbage ever, but 7 was simple fun and 9 would have been decent if it wasn’t forced to rebuild the china shop that 8 had just rampaged through. The Last Jedi took every bit of work building a narrative that 7 had done, piled it up, shat on it, then lit it on fire, all in the name of trying to be a cool rogue auteur. 9 had no choice but to do inane contortions like “somehow, Palpatine returned” because there were no fucking villains left alive.
Rian Johnson should never be allowed within a hundred miles of a beloved franchise he didn’t create. He can keep making Knives Out, but I will die on the hill that The Last Jedi is a selfish, senseless, poorly written piece of hackery.
Partial blame goes to Disney for not having the sequel trilogy plot predetermined in a story bible before ever putting the first ink to script.
