Call me a heretic, but I think last Jedi was the best of the 3 if you separate it from the star wars universe. TFA was just a meh rehash of the original, and ROS was a dumpster fire.
Yeah, TFA is bland corporate cookie cutter crap, but it’s at least not deliberately hostile to people who actually liked Star Wars going in. But on the other hand, the fact that it was greenlit as a mainline Star Wars movie was rather indicative that either Disney didn’t actually care to properly vet what they were putting out, or that I was very definitely not part of the target audience they wanted. So I haven’t watched or read anything else since.
We can be heretics together. But you’re wrong. It was the best of the three because it commented on the universe.
I wanted to love TFA. So much promise wasted by repetition. They had an es-storm trooper! A super emotionally damaged Vader worshipping anger Jedi. The wiggly light saber. I should have loved it. The characters were so cool. But they didn’t do anything new. Felt very design by committee.
In TLJ the characters did new things. It didn’t all feel right to me. But it was new. I loved Luke’s story. War stories should leave their heros damaged. I loved the worthless dirtfarmer parents. Everyone can’t have special parents. Even Poe’s stupid story with pink hair general was a commentary on how ruthless rebels have to be. People die. You can’t waste resources. There was a lot wrong about TLJ but it tried.
And ROS had one good line. That’s it.
The actors deserved so much better. They worked hard. They loved star wars. They wanted to make something good.
