But can we please stop equating “sequel hate” to some kind of “right wing” movement? It’s honestly tiresome… Peoples politics have absolutely nothing to do with how people felt about these movies.
It is tiresome. I’m no mind-reader, but it’s a safe bet I’m among the most left-wing of the posters on this site, if not the most left-wing, and I’ve never liked TFA or the 60-odd minutes of TLJ I watched.
Reactionary troglodytes are the most outspoken critics of these movies – and don’t doubt for a second that that fact gets under my skin every, single, time I think about it – but it’s not fair to lump every dissenting voice in with their camp.
