The last Johnson now offically was a detriment to Star Wars...
There need be no discussion...it’s now definitive.
Disney screwed up its sequels...you can’t miss on the middle chapter...it doesn’t work...
Let it go, Elsas

If Rian Johnson didn't follow what had been set up, then Rey wouldn't have been Ahch To when the movie began and Luke Skywalker would've already been out of hiding. Not answering your questions about Snoke's origins is not abandoning the story. The story is about Rey, Kylo Ren, Poe, and Finn. Everything else is not the focus.

Dude...the tough guy routine isn’t gonna work on this one.
Talk about how you hate the Star Wars land in disneyland...that may play here.
People have voted with their wallet:
Product sales are down
Last Johnson flatlines at the box office
Solo bombed
Return of the abrams is going to Finish Wayyyy under expectations
The damage is real...the jury is back

They can't. And don't ever ask them to trace it back. Or talk about declining profits. I'll bet even THEY don't own a "Rose Tico action figure".
Because they won't admit the DT failed. So, they sure aren't going to pinpoint when it did. Or why it did. "It made money" therefore "It's successful".

Neither JJ or Rians story is what I wanted if I'm being honest. And realistically the way ep9 went, wasn't the way you wanted it to go obviously. But Rian took Finn and Hux and made them fools. I'm sick of hearing about Rose because Rian did no better with Maz, and Maz had a lot more potential than Rose in my opinion. You really can't argue that Rian took the story forward, I just don't like it. And then say JJ was wrong for doing the exact same thing. Just because you didn't like it. Sorry but thats not a great argument. Rey wasn't a nobody makes a lot of sense in the Skywalker saga. And Luke did spark hope, when the chips were down and the opportunity was there, they came. No matter what you thought of either of them. It should have been ONE vision. That is the crux of this whole argument. I'm not on JJs side or Rians.

...You know who else did that recently with sequels?

An actual answer. I disagree, but at least it's an answer that's not whining.

They both failed miserably...my opinion
Remakes never wanted and reversals of direction never needed.
Was not gonna work.
I posted the article from yesterday upthread: they thought they had something with the farce awakens when really they didn’t have anything...
That was the public and Star Wars fans vote of confidence in Disney taking it over. They misread it.
Why is rogue one kinda “cult classic” already? It’s the only director that got it...the pathos and ethos of the originals to a certain extent.
How much of an indictment is it that Kennedy scoffed at him? The canary in the coal mine.
Way back upthread I warned that NONE of these three movies are good and won’t be Regarded as such.
I also asked two weeks ago when the box office was already coming up short: are the prequels better?
The question still stands

And disagreeing is fine. We all have our likes and dislikes. When everyone loves everything, we end up with the live action remakes.

My last take on 9.
Long time fan of the SW films but not of all Star Wars. Not that dedicated but really enjoyed The Mandolorian.
Bringing back the emperor was fine with me though I know it retcons a lot. Don't care. Great performance and very compelling. Loved all the acting in the movie.
Light speed jumping was the first oooohhhhh, ahhhhhhh, SW movie experience I have had since the OT.
The technical wizardry and sound design were turned up to 11.
That is all.

The audience doesn’t share your love....no resonance
The DT: reboot...wrong turn...retcon

No. Rogue One is a fanboy's wet dream with no substance or depth. I don't hate Galaxy's Edge, but I do hate Rogue One. That movie misses the mark on what Star Wars is: a silly space fairy tale for children. It takes itself way too seriously and has nothing to say. A cool space battle with no emotional stakes. Man, that movie sucks. A big budget fan film.

I was wondering when you were gonna turn your millennial tough guy act towards me?
Oh goodie
First...you whined and b!tzed about “Galaxy’s edge” in Anaheim for months...
Now you’re a fan? Why? A dark ride...Adam driver AA?
Please...it’s still devoid of emotion...empty...ignoring the popular IP in favor of two bad movies...
And ultimately: shows Disney still can’t get it...
“Galaxy’s edge”...made up planets...great
That is fanboy, Bud...Disney apologist.
Notice James Cameron didn’t call his avatarland: “bulcacalonono”
Why? He’s not stupid

Don’t bother...
I see his took his age off his profile but he’s like 25 and complains about everything done in Disneyland...
He’s now moved on to “anonymous keyboard Rambo”
What the point of arguing with anyone (and this is a Twitter like faux argument to mess with people anyway) who says Star Wars were kids movies?
That’s completely opposite and you can’t even teach someone who says that.

The Last Jedi.
If my age is no longer on my profile, it's not because I took it off. I'm 21.
Star Wars is literally for kids, you child. It's a series of films about wizards, princesses, queens, and knights.

Of course you are. Is that the only one? We're getting circular here. I don't mind a debate. This is just getting silly right now.

On the surface I would call it a draw. As of now they both fail in different areas. The sequel trilogy had more star wars moments and visually felt more like star wars. But the prequels told a singular story vision. I've had a long time to come to terms with my issues with the prequels so I would give the edge to them right now.

Yep...
So how did Disney buy out Lucas and make the same mistakes in new and dumbfounding ways??
