It still baffles me how people fault the movie for unpredictability and originality when that is the only way to interestingly move forward.

The fans got predictability and stability in The Force Awakens simply to gradually grow the franchise back into its roots, and Then The Last Jedi to grow it forward. Then yet some people can’t grasp the concept of storytelling, character evolution and originality - so they fault the director for it, rather than their own nostalgic expectations.

I don’t like TFA - but I respect it, I understand it, and I understand the decisions made by director and company both to make it the safe and predictable way they did. This is probably why I also loved The Last Jedi - because I don’t like to live in the past and clinge to it, I like to move forward and evolve. And that is what THE LAST JEDI did and was all about.

Thank you.
