“Star Wars was always poorly written” is an argument I really take issue with. If the original film were poorly written, none of us would even be here with our attachment to this franchise.
Exactly. It’s okay to say the series has had bad writing on principle, but to just blanket say it as an excuse for further bad writing is just an insult to the people who worked on some of the best works in the franchise to make them the level of quality they are as pointless.
