[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7592479, member: 6716779"] Mind me asking did you notice the plot hles and questions the Last Jedi raised? I mean in universe Star Wars lore about how the Dark side is the quick and easy path, or how using star cruisers as hyperspace weapons makes a lot of things pointless like the assualt on Star Killer Base, or the death star attacks in the OT. Can you understand the way Rey was booked/written that with her power levels it also makes a few things pointless since she is kinda like superman but without kryptonite. A simple question is who is you main villain there is no Tarkin/Vader/Emperor equivalent as the ones they did have got jobbed out or used as comic relief (Hux, Phasma), or they have been made to look like chumps 2 movies in a row (Kylo). If Rey smacks down Kylo where is the epic story in that, its already been established that she is more powerful than him, and why do you need to bother training Jedi a'la the other 6 movies. If she isn't a Skywalker whats the point of the 1st 6 movies? If she is a Skywalker why bother claiming her parents are nobodies only to retcon/swerve the audience in IX. Do you think its good story telling for Rian Johnson to burn down every potentially interesting plot hook JJ Abrams weaved through TFA which I rewatched recently. Where the emotion, the passion, the accomplishment that the OT had, or the world building the prequels had? Now do you see the potential problems or why people might be concerned? Yeah sure I might be a bit passionate but there only really 2 franchises I care about, Star Wars and D&D.New is fine (5E, Thrawn Triliogy, KoToR), but you have to pay respect to what came before and tie it togather (see reaction to TLJ and say 4E).
