Which is fine, but rather than claim others don’t understand Star Wars, you would do well to remember that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view. So, from your point of view TLJ is great, whilst from mine it is not. To claim to have a better understanding of these films than others in an attempt to elevate your own arguments is arrogance pure and simple.

You are entitled to your own opinion. Not everyone likes the same things and art is subjective. But story elements are not subjective and you are not entitled to your own facts.

Then please enlighten me on these so called facts, and please also provide the proper references to support these claims. Story elements as they appear on screen have to be interpreted, and are thus rarely factual as they can be seen kn many different contexts. The artist can provide his intentions, but even then this may not translate to the viewer. Even the artist’s interpretation may change over time, the history of the OT and its special editions are a testament to that.
