I loved TLJ and love it more every time I watch it.
I understand why some didnt like it. I think it comes down to a few things:
…
- They didn’t like Luke’s storyline.
They just wanted to see Luke out and about taking out baddies Jedi master style.
I wanted that too, but I also can very much identify with the story we got.
…
- They don’t like misdirection in general.
They probably thought Poe was doing the right thing and were thrown off to see he wasnt.
…
- They just didn’t understand it.
Yes, it is entirely possible to fully understand TLJ and still not like it. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t a significant group that complain about the movie and make factually incorrect statements about characters and events.
…
- They just don’t like the style of the new movies.
I can relate. I didn’t like the style of the prequels.
…
I think over time appreciation of TLJ will grow. I have high hopes for Rian Johnson’s Trilogy. He is an excellent director and writer. I think people will be more accepting of his style when he isn’t using beloved characters previously established by someone else.
