    It’s pretty funny that it still turned out to be the best Star Wars film since the OG trilogy.

      I dunno, I think the best of the Disney versions is still Force Awakens. The big complaint is “Well, it’s just Star Wars…” which is true… but it’s Star Wars without George Lucas. They had to prove they could do what Lucas did without Lucas and I think they succeeded in that.

      Then Last Jedi shit the bed. Then Carrie Fisher died which painted them into a corner with Rise of Skywalker. Force Awakens was Han, Last Jedi was Luke, Rise of Skywalker was supposed to be Leia… 😢

        The Force Awakens is just “A New Hope [Remix].” They didn’t “do it without George Lucas,” they just took what George did and put it through the JJ Abram’s filter.
