I didn't say 7 was good, only that I was willing to be more forgiving since it was Disney's first Star Wars film.

8 did nothing well but destroy Star Wars at every turn. I would say because of what it did, I consider 9 to be better than 8. 9 could never have been good, and that is completely the fault of 8.

    9 is a flaming piece of shit on every level. I think its even insulting to call it a movie given how fucking shit it is.

    How can you say that 9 is better than 8 because 8 destoryed stuff (what exactly?) Meanwhile 9 literally destroys the whole OT and PT story arc of Anakin/Vader

    I'm just here to second the opinion that, while 7 was uninteresting, 8 basically destroyed Star Wars as a franchise, and that as imperfect as 9 is, it's practically a miracle that it was as good as it was with what it had to follow.

    RoS seemed consistent with the OT to me. Well Rey doesn't bring Palpatine back from the dark side (she doesn't even try) but that's because it's impossible to redeem someone who's dead. It's a contrast between the relationship to family and relationship to ancestors. Nice message about not being defined by our ancestors which children learning about the horrible things their ancestors did might connect with.

    But other than that it's the same "destinies and prophecies are for suckers" as Star Wars has always been.
