Heretic of The Seventh Circle
I was going to argue wiht this decision, but then I read the thread again.This ended up being a thread about how Zaardnar hates The Last Jedi, so I've edited the title and started a new one.
The world building critique always seems egregiously foolish to me, when it comes to Star Wars. The OT didn't do much world building outside of visuals and other cues. The same sort of thing the ST does.I find that most of the same sorts of issues are found in the original trilogy. Very early on, for example, the guy is criticising the film for lack of world building, for not really laying out what the Republic and First Order were. Not that the original films layed out what the Empire was, but hey, we'll hold this against one movie, but not the other. Sure!
This is a thing about Space Opera - it doesn't hold up under real deep logical scrutiny. Because Space Opera isn't about realism and relentless logic. It is a genre of melodrama - appealing more to the emotions than to the intellect. And criticism along these lines generally amounts to arguing that the movie is flawed because it wasn't a thing it never claimed to be, largely missing the point of the piece.
Of course, ending a trilogy with a weaker film hearkens back to the original 3, so you could say it's tradition, I guess.
I will admit Rey leaping over Kylo's speeding TIE fighter was wicked cool...
Nah, RoTJ is the best OT movie.
