The prequils were hated too, until they were rehabilitated by the audience they were intended for: people who watched it as kids. The sequel trilogy will be the same way.

There is only like 2 genuinely good movies in the mainline series and "The Last Jedi" is one of them.

    Nah, the best that can be said about The Last Jedi is it has a few good parts. For a movie where much of the plot involved two giant space ships, it had the most painfully idiotic space combat of in any movie I’ve seen that wasn’t intentionally being silly.

    In the opening, a pilot distracts an entire battleship staff from noticing an incredibly slow moving bombing fleet coming right at them by prank calling the commander. Then the director must have really liked WW2 bombers because he decided to have that bombing fleet slowly move forward and have the bombs somehow act like there is gravity affecting them to have them fall (in space!) onto the battleship.

    The rest doesn’t get any better. The whole freaking chase scene where the chasing ship is arcing shots as if there is gravity to affect them. Hey if you are perfectly even on speed and can’t catch them, stop shooting your ineffective shots since firing something forward is going to push your ship back and slow you down. Oh man I can keep going but that movie was so bad we didn’t bother watching the 3rd.

    It won't.

    The prequels still have a fairly good story under all the bad. Jar Jar is pretty rough, but he at least doesn't fuck up the story being told.

    Meanwhile, the story of the sequels are garbage. The acting is mostly fine and the CGI is good, but the foundation is shit.

    Theres a big difference between those. If the foundation is solid, you can look past everything on top. If the foundation is weak, everything else gets brought down with it.

    Still can't believe people think the last Jedi is actually good, when almost none of the story makes any sense and the movie is awfully paced. You can feel free to like the movie of course. But I would say it's a huge stretch to call it good.
