I hate comments like yours Módica (I’ve seen others from you defending RJ and blaming JJ)
TFA was a popular film and set up some nice new characters and possible story lines. It’s still enjoyable to watch today.
TLJ was hated and condemned upon release and ruined SW forever as the OP stated.
Sorry, I am not here to please you or anyone else. I don't care if Abrams film was popular or not. It didn't feel like a real Star Wars movie to me. I was a Star Wars fan probably long before you were in diapers, so I make no apologies to you or anyone else about how I should feel. BTW, TLJ made a good deal more money than the final film in the trilogy, so if you rate movies on box office, that means The Rise of Skywalker is the worst film of the 3. And who directed that one? I'm waiting...
shareAgreed, I enjoyed TFA
shareNo, it wasn't.
shareI respect Johnson for the same reason I respect Lucas' efforts with the prequels: this dude tried. He went somewhere outrageous and courageous with the story, and tried to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives into Star Wars. He was handed mystery boxes in a committee-built foundation and tried to go somewhere cool with it.
He failed. That's parallel to Lucas, too. Lucas built up the prequels and tried to build a cool new story in his world in a way that would echo the original without aping it. I think Lucas failed here, too, serving up lukewarm swill that he tried to make flavourful by burying it under CGI.
But I don't like to rag on either of them - Lucas or Johnson - for giving something strange a shot.
He's let us down. He doesn't have his trilogy as backstories to the prequel trilogy.
