"Somehow Palpatine Returned"
That was the last movie I saw before the pandemic, and I didn't go to the theater again until October 2022.
I felt like the movie was so bad that it ushered in the end times.
I tryed so hard to enjoy it, you guys!
Lucky you, the last movie I saw in theatre before the pandemic was Cats.
I honestly don't know which experience was worse...
2019 was a helluva year for movies
you have to have a very high IQ to understand the star wars sequels. The subtext is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the extended universe most of the references will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Luke's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Kilji Illumine literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this allegory, to realise that they're not just worldbuilding- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the sequels truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rey's famous line "Somehow palpatine returned" which itself is a cryptic reference to how palpatine's force spirit possessed the clones of himself he had prepared in advance. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J. J. Abrams's genius wit unfolds itself on the cinema screens. What fools.. how I pity them
I agree, everyone who doesn't like all of star wars is a big dumb idiot. Only smart guys like us can appreciate. I mean "somehow" Palpatine literally did return. Heh. Dummies.
Or maybe you just need to love star wars enough to convince yourself they are good.
Its copypasta

I gonna be honest. . I didn't love the sequels...
But I didn't hate them.
Then one day I heard "star wars is having an official Canon event in fortnite" and rolled my eyes figuring some promotional cash grab bs.
Then when I heard "somehow Palpatine returned", I looked more into it, and turned the movie off. I still haven't seen all of it.
I love the shows.
The Force awakens was fun but not great star wars.
There is bad star wars, and you summed it up perfectly.
