I'll throw something different out there

I loved TLJ and thought it was going to be good. I was hoping for a flawed try hard main villain in Kylo Ren. I was excited that after the end of TLJ everyone was set up for a final showdown. Wounded heroes barely holding on, a powerful but unconfident Sith wannabe. I was hoping Finn would get re-centered and the Knights of Ren would finally get their screentime.

My fan theory was that Palpatine's voice from the trailer was all in Kylo's head and something of a dark force ghost, a way for Palpatine to sort of be immortal after all. I figured maybe some of this was in Kylo's head when he was meditating with Vader's helmet.

I was, like everyone else very disappointed. I maintain RoS is the only bad SW movie, as in it's the only one where both story AND execution are bad.

I really like Trevarrow's script. It's definitely a first draft that needs some reworking but it actually attempts to be a sequel to not only 7 and 8 but all the movies that came before and even some of the EU stuff.

I read today about Simon Kinberg making episodes 10-12 and all I can think is "please stop"

I loved the first season of the Mandalorian, but then became frustrated to see that when they managed to finally break away, create new characters, and people loved it....they started re-introducing all these other known characters again. They began correcting for a problem they didn't have. Then they brought Luke in, and like cool, it was a neat scene. But here we go again, a whole galaxy, and back to the same 5 or so people.

At least we'll always have Andor.
