Last jedi can’t be any worse than return of the jedi

A film liked because of the 80s and not so much quality

Last Jedi can’t be any worse than ROTJ? Really?

I’ve got three other movies to show you. The first one stars the kid from “Jingle All the Way.”

Wow…another set of shitty movies somehow makes return of the jedi less of a shit stain on the star wars mythos

Prequels may of introduced midi - chlorines

But return of the jedi started several trends that ruined star wars

It was the movie that firmly established that jedi were the only characters who make any real difference…han and leia had zero stake or importance in the story and you can cut then out if you want…this trend of “jedi first, everyone last” infected star wars media to a ridiculous degree

Dark side personality syndrome: tell me how forcing luke to kill his father is gonna make him palpatines apprentice…wouldn’t he just kill the emperor and spend his days atoning for that sin? That is a main issue that never got resolved in star wars, every jedi is one temper tantrum away from being a asshole. And return of the jedi was the one that started it.

In empire strikes back Luke’s near turn to the dark side was TEN TIME more effective and convincing than palpatines plan to turn luke to the dark side.

Gary kurz wanted to change the redemption of vader to be more nuanced…as it turns out vader wanted to make amends in his own sick f@ckity way

But Lucas deprived us of that in favor of a quick unearned redemption sequence
