Even Lucas’s AOTC screenplay is less dumb. It’s saying A LOT…
I don’t know, I find the whole assassination plot in AOTC to be some of the dumbest writing in SW period. Nothing in the ST comes close to that one for me.
I need to see this again to determine how I ultimately feel. Right now I really like it, but new SW movies (prequels to now) don’t always hold up on repeat viewings for me. I enjoyed TLJ in the theater but the more I watch it the more I find myself fast-forwarding through all the Poe, Finn, Rose, Leia, & Holdo stuff. I was very lukewarm on Rogue One at first, but have grown to love it after repeat viewings. And with TFA, my feelings never changed as I liked it from day one. Not sure where TROS will fall yet…
