Unpopular Opinion? If Ryan Johnson was allowed to make Episode 9, it (probably) would have been better than J.J. Abrams but could also made Episode 8 be looked more fondly upon.

RJ has grown on me, but I don't think the TLJ has. I think I understand his motivations for doing what he did, but I didn't prefer his alternative. It seems evident that Disney really intended to rehash the OT. I think Rian saw that writing on the wall and wanted to release something so radically different that a simple rehash was no longer popular. But I don't think even he foresaw Disney steeping to "somehow Palpatine has returned" levels of shoe horning coming.

I didn't really like the story RJ seemed to be about to tell, so I can't honestly say I like TLJ at all... Like... At all. But I respect it a lot more now against the backdrop of what Disney and JJ allowed to happen.

And, man, I'm not too proud to admit I was a JJ apologist. I liked TFA, I enjoyed his mystery box approach, I was ready for new answers and lore. But nope. They fucked it up.

Pretty stoked with some more recent SW stuff, so all isn't forgiven, but I'm healing.

I am the only one wants a serie/videogame about The imperial army? Am I only one who likes season 3 of Mando I don't understand why people think Lucas told a good story poorly I just realized something that makes me so sad. The Mandalorian - S03E02 - Chapter 18 - Discussion Thread! In TPM when The Queen goes to The Senate for help, they decide to send someone to Naboo to check things out, but,... If Disney sells Lucasfilm, would you be OK if Episodes 7-9 were retconned? Watching Rebels for the first time, why is ok that Kanan gets sucked out into space but "Disney killed SW" when it happens to Leia? Could a solo series (if done right) undo some of the criticism people have towards Rey ? I love Daisy Ridley's portrayal and felt her story ended not well with fans Rian Johnson on his reasoning for the ending of TLJ how come the han solo movie has perfect balance between humans to aliens while andor doesn't? it's pretty much from the same era. Ideas for tattoo Personally when you first seen the last Jedi did you understand why Luke felt the way he left and you completely agree with his actions? Andor is the best SW since the original trilogy. Absolute top notch in every department. Please let these guys do tons of stuff going forward! Anyone else want these two back as Lando Calrissian and Han Solo? Neither could ever replace the originals but I thought they nailed their respective roles.
