Because everyone on this forum loves RedLetterMedia so much:
Not sure if serious.
My reaction to captainsolo’s review.
Actually, it was very well put.
I think people have this notion of what Star Wars is supposed to be, and whatever that notion is, it’s fairly well boxed into a space that is unattainable for new content. Like it has been said: TFA played it safe and people hated it. R1 took a tangent with new characters and people hated it. TLJ dared to be new and unexpected and people hated it.
It’s like so many other long-standing franchises that have a cult following. You just can’t win for losing while trying to be the slightest bit creative.
Well, Star Wars is so big right now that no matter what they do someone will always hate it. The only ones that are “immune” to criticism are The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars because not only are well put together movies they also don’t contradict anything that came before or didn’t do anything that would insult fans as of 2017.
