The Last Jedi has become bad because people can’t comprehend new directions for a 40-year old franchise. Get over it.
Episode IX WILL probably be predictable as fuck and all SW fans will rejoice.
I’m lucky in that I can ignore TLJ and TFA in my own mental canon.
This right here is how you should handle these movies if you don’t like them, and I respect this completely. But I don’t think it’s luck, I think it’s just common sense…or at least that’s what it should be. Getting all pissed off because a later movie “ruined” an earlier movie is just really alien to me.
This is what I will do in the end as clearly the “new” SW is not for me. I’ll relegate myself to only ever watching the OT DSEs and on the odd occasion some fanedits of the PT. I enjoy R1 as well so it will remain but TFA is in the bin for me since I won’t be able to watch it without being reminded of what it now leads into (while not leading into it since RJ killed those arcs, only bringing the setting and characters across).
I don’t for a second think TLJ has ruined any earlier movies, Im just pissed of for what it does to SW for me and that it means the end of my saga.
