I totally agree with lordjedi. I haven't seen the movie (nor do I plan to), but I have been reading plenty of reviews, more than I have for any Star Wars movie. Since I'm not seeing it, I'm really interested in the takes other people have of it. Pretty much every review was negative, but, overall, they were pretty mixed as to why it was negative. Some people hated the animation style while others loved it. Some thought the action was boring while others thought it was the only redeemable factor of the movie. Some loved Ahsoka while others sympathized with Anakin's youngling genocide because she was so annoying. However, there always seemed to be one thing they agreed on: while it was a complete piece of shit (for whatever reason/s), it was passable for kids.

When you have movies like Wall-E or the original Star Wars trilogy that proves that there can be movies that appeal to every age demographic, why does this get excused? A turd is a turd.

*Disclaimer--Of course, I'm assuming it's a turd, but as I've stated, I haven't actually seen it. Your own mileage may very, but I can be fairly certain that it's not the 2nd best Star Wars movie ever made.
