I am just kind of curious to see how many people that saw the Last Jedi in theaters are going to see the new movie in theaters as well. Lets see if I can figure out how to do a poll or if this will be a failure on my part.

Every single one of them is kinda hokey and silly. Fun and entertaining? Absolutely. But i mean c'mon, they're really not much better than your typical Hollywood sci-fi flick.

At its core Star Wars is a kids movie, but like The Wizard of Oz it transcends others of the same genre because of the emotional attachment it created.

The first SW was legitimately groundbreaking, even being kinda hokey and silly.

And 'really not better than typical' kind of misses the entire point, when it comes to groundbreaking.

Before ANH, sci-fi was DECIDEDLY hokey and silly. There's a reason so much of it ends up on MST3K. Aliens and monsters were ridiculous. Effects were laughable. Narratives were stuffy and slow.

There were people in their 80s who had never seen anything like it, imagine a 5 or 6 yo seeing it for the first time, with no frame of reference anything like the present day.

It was silly and hokey, but it was also rousing and swashbuckling, and it was a coherent, credible and relatable story taken seriously.

'Typical sci-fi' has been chasing the initial thrill of ANH ever since, and if it's even MARGINALLY superior after 40 years, that's quite a testament.

The only analogs I can think of are Smells Like Teen Spirit, and the IPhone. Not even The Beatles were as revolutionary at first.

With each insipid utterance by Daisy Ridley, and every LGBTQBBQWTF admission by director JJ Abrams, I'm becoming steadily turned off to seeing this.

If you were tasked with coming up with the worst possible ending to this trilogy, that would be it. Hands down.
