I hope it’s clear that I feel this way about any subject. It’s weird to have a thread where you are not allowed to criticize the topic.
I’m on record as having really enjoyed TLJ so it has nothing to do with that at all.
Oh I know that. There are controversial Star Wars films I like but I still wouldn’t want an echo chamber to develop about them. My opinion is if you can’t acknowledge or discuss criticism then you must not be very comfortable with your position to begin with.
But anyway I don’t want to derail the thread or anything, so that’s neither here nor there.
Hamill’s performance was spectacular. It’s actually quite upsetting for me because there are things I adore about TLJ (mainly some of the acting and visuals), but it’s just the story and characterisation that completely ruins it for me to the point I can’t even sit through it anymore.
Hopefully one day I’ll be able to watch it properly again because I don’t think it’s a terrible film, just not the kind of film I wanted in the Star Wars universe. That’s just my opinion anyway.
