If they do a good job, why would there be drivel? The issue with TFA and TLJ has been that they were both terrible. 

No mention of the fact that this is shot in 2.39. Can’t remember the last time I saw THAT in a TV show. 

First half a little perfunctory and uninvolving. Second half much more engaging, and I found myself smiling through much of the shootout. I assume IG-11’s self-destruct death wish is going to be a recurring motif. 

Don’t count on it. 

There is nowhere to go with this shit-fest trilogy. Abrams and Johnson were both completely wrong for the job. 

Kasdan is essentially a script doctor. A good one, but not much more either. He can’t come up with compelling new SW plot lines. He never did. 

At least the prequels had an actual story, even if the dialog was frequently awful and the direction rusty at best.

The sequel trilogy is fucked.

Because they aren’t systemic geeky thinkers and wouldn’t be hanging out on those sites anyway. 

Last Jedi is polarizing because some people are able to think in terms of systems and mechanics, and some aren’t. Those who can’t may well have enjoyed Last Jedi for the simple reason that they lack the capacity to see its copious flaws.

Star Wars isn’t going to survive by alienating Gen X. Quite the opposite. Those guys will stop taking their kids to it. It’s like saying a sports franchise should deliberately piss off fans in their 40s and 50s in the hope of attracting youngsters. It’s utter financial suicide.

Sure. The entire movie is built around the horrible, clumsy contrivance of the imperial fleet matching speed precisely with the rebel fleet. This is such lazy screenwriting; it makes no sense in-universe but Johnson can’t make his story work without it, so he just asserts it. The way Finn and Rose have no plans to get…

Absolute nonsense. 

The trilogy was not plotted out by anybody.

It will be awful.

Looper is a total bloody mess. Quite an interesting mess, and one he could get away with because it was stand-alone. But it's so ill-disciplined as a narrative. 

Apparently it is in terrible shape, which is unsurprising.

Why not just make a good movie that fits the universe? Can somebody maybe try that, see how it works out? 

If I complain that my food is too cold, that doesn’t mean I want it served to me blackened to a crisp.

Abrams’ problem wasn’t that he created a rehash. It’s that he created a story that made no sense in the narrative universe. It was the first time a Star Wars movie had felt like it was created by a bunch of people sitting down and thinking, “How the hell do we even keep this story going?”, then crowbarring in a way to…
