[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9660472, member: 54629"] I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's more that the sequel trilogy presents everyone from the original trilogy as failures. Luke has failed at his attempt to create a new Jedi Order and has fled into hiding to be alone with his feelings. Han and Leia's marriage has failed, and Han has gone back to being a smuggler -- and not a very good one at that, since he's lost the Falcon and is being hounded by angry loan sharks. Leia's less of a failure in that she's still fighting the good fight, but she's been unable to convince the New Republic to stand up against the First Order, so she's having to do it on her own, and no one comes to her aid (at first). The Alliance to Restore the Republic succeeds in setting up the New Republic, but it's ultimately a failure too! So riddled with unrepentant Imperials that it's doomed right from the start. It just makes the OT characters' struggles feels so pointless. In [I]Rogue One[/I], Cassian tells Jyn that he and his fellow Rebel spies, saboteurs, and assassins want to feel like all the terrible things they've done were "worth it". The sequel trilogy says [I]"No, not really. Your pain and sacrifice buys the galaxy a few decades of fractured peace before the Empire comes roaring back with an even bigger Death Star carved out of an actual planet and wipes out everything you fought to create in one fell swoop ... oh, and then the Emperor comes back with a fleet of Star Destroyers equipped with Death Star lasers!"[/I] [/QUOTE]
