I’m absolutely fine with you or anyone else liking TLJ. I respect that, but what I don’t understand, is why it’s so difficult to return that courtesy. We raise what we feel are legitimate criticisms against TLJ. Why? Because we love Star Wars and it’s history (some parts more than other parts, but anyway), and care about how future writers and directors will handle previously established canon. So, rather than just admitting TLJ ignores some of what had been established before, and say you’re fine with it, or write a counter argument to show, that our interpretation is flawed, you state the fault is with us critics. We disagree with you, and so there’s something wrong with us. We’re so inflexible.

Anyway, I suspect it’s out of frustration with the seemingly never ending list of complaints against the film in this thread, so I sympathise to a degree. I was planning to stay out of the discussion for a while, but then there’s allways some argument, that pulls you back in. C’est la vie…no offense meant.
