        It’s kind of meaningless when it’s sandwiched between 2 absolute abominations.

          TRoS i totally agree.

          TFA i think is lovely and it was a look at what making a modern SW movie could be, but totally fails at originality. that ends up hamstringing the sequels, sadly.

          Eh, as far as I’m concerned the series just ends with TLJ. A bit of a downer, but by resetting the playing field to ANH’s dynamic of ragtag rebels vs empire it emphasizes the cyclical nature of violence and resistance in the Star Wars universe. It’s a good enough conclusion on its own.

            yes. it was a really bold choice to make the sequels a duology, but i’m here for it. XD
