Couldn't agree more. Clusterfuck of a movie in a clustetfuck of a trilogy.
I think whats hilarious is people arguing which movies sucked the most, honestly skip the argument and say what it really is, they all sucked, were mediocre and all three were not planned out

The fact that the studio that nailed the MCU can't make a trilogy correctly kind of blows my mind.

"The expectations for Star Wars Episode 9 were so high..."

Were they though? I came in with low expectations and still thought it was a broken mess of a film.
I think the problem is the marketing made it have high expectations calling it the end of the entire saga and finally a close to the skywalker saga etc. When people hear Skywalker they get all gitty but then they realise all the characters in the new saga were trash

The book and some film leaks of book scenes donmake the movie a bit more cohesive. Not that will make it anyone love it or hate it more.

It’s clearly got a Batman vs Superman vibe in how the theatrical release is makes it awkward and the extended edition would fix the films direction.

Atleast Warner Bros. Didn’t have so much pride and gave us the better version.

Not only that but what’s the legacy of the Skywalkers? They’re extinct by the end of the film and a clone of Palpatine is bested by is grand daughter.

I used to think TFA was alright, with the glaring flaw that it pretty much ignores what happens in RotJ by once again making the good guys some rag tag group fighting the more powerful space nazis...but whatever, as an intro to the new characters it was ok. But RJ completely fucked the trilogy with a pointless middle arch that shits ok everything you ever knew about the universe and characters, and JJ basically ignored all that and just did some rails of coke and dialed it up to 11...which I don’t know that there’s any other way to deal with how the first two movies bungled the setup to the final chapter.

It’s not as epic of a drop off as Game of Thrones in the final season considering how good earlier seasons were, but it’s pretty close.

That's ultimately why I didn't like them. Instead of letting people discover the characters they forced the characters on everyone. It was like the movie had someone the whole time pointing at characters and telling you exactly what they were. Like Finn and the rebel guy who met in the first one their entire interaction over like 11 minutes was "were bitter hated enemies, and now we're lifelong best bro friends forever and care deeply like we have known each other our whole lives" or the main chick "I'm just a nobody salvager on this desolate planet, but wait I can fly and fix a spaceship, or wait I can use the force to control people's minds and oh wait I can fight a sith Lord with no training". Old characters felt like they were being trodded out like old whores, even han felt forced and fake. The characters and how they were written was fucking terrible. Really the only thing I enjoyed about the movies was the music and the sound effects. Oh and kylo rens voice when he had the helmet on was pretty damn cool.

The story telling was awful because all the characters were flawless pretty much, everything was spelled out, and no one grew or evolved because from the moment you saw they were instantly whatever it was they were supposed to be. They were all like cariactures
