I liked it too! It was fun, it felt like a solid conclusion to the series. I think there was no way everyone was gonna be happy with it, and clearly the filmmakers saw that and just went “welp, fuck it” and decided to go big or go home. And there are flaws and issues and plot holes and retcons, and I understand why some things are problematic and pisspeople off, eg. Kelly Marie not having a bigger role. But I also think it’s important to try and understand that that was probably a big corporate decision from our cowardly Disney overlords, along with the new mini hetero romance hints in willing to bet, and that the entire massive crew that worked to put the movie together shouldn’t be punished for their overlords’ decision.
So no, I don’t think we are shitty people. I think people just expect different things from Star Wars. I for one have never thought any Star Wars movies were “good cinema”, they are not flawless. For me Star Wars is fun and goofy, and the stuff that really matters, that’s really at the core of it all, is the galaxy andcthe character’s in it, the world building that’s been done, that’s what makes it special for me. So a fun Star Wars movie that feels a bit like RotJ, whichi s my favorite of the OT, is great for me.
