But damn man, TRoS was just a convoluted mess as it attempted to make up for the warts of the last movie.
How does Disney just so completely screw up a sure thing? I sincerely hope someone retcons those three movies at some point.
Crazily enough, the first script that Disney threw out in favor of the J.J. experience was much, much better than the complete mess we ended up receiving. [Reply]

Yea. It was an obvious attempt to clean up the mess.
Full of fan service which made zero sense like bringing back Palpatine as the mastermind pulling the strings. [Reply]
Ugh. Ridley herself is a bit down the list of problems with the first Disney Trilogy, but I was kind of hoping they'd just cut their losses and abandon everything from that trilogy altogether. [Reply]

I can't be alone hoping that they'll just memory hole VII, VIII, and IX, and just start over and tell a proper story. Sans Disney, of course.
Will likely never happen, but this is my dream. [Reply]
I know you all are way more fans of the franchise than I am. After the Last Jedi I just can't get myself to give a shit about anything Star Wars related. I still need to watch Picard though someday. I love what I'm reading in the thread here. [Reply]

Star Trek already had their Rey bullshit with that god awful Discovery series.
They learned from it. The Mouse doesn't learn a goddamn thing apparently. [Reply]
