Creatively speaking the franchise is way past its expiry date, in my opinion at least. I’m ready to put it in the past and in that way I actually appreciate TLJ. It was the movie that convinced me to avoid Solo, TROS, and pretty much everything else they’ve been making since.
I have seen the first 2 seasons of Mando and it was kinda so-so. Too little too late. That

Luke vs Dark Troopers
scene was what most of the fans wanted to see in Episode 7 waaay back in 2015.
I’m not even motivated to do a fan fiction treatment of my version of the sequel trilogy tbh. What’s the reward? I can’t possibly produce it for money or the Mouse will stomp my ass into oblivion. And we as marginalized working folks don’t have tons of extra time and energy to make an extensive fan fiction for free. For now it will have to go on the back-burner.
I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. There are so many things that bugged me about it, many of which were already present in TFA but others are specific to TLJ.
I am reminded of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus when I recall TLJ. So much mis-applied creative energy. Perhaps there would have been a better reception to the film if it was not a Star Wars movie but an original space opera story. Nevertheless I think this still wouldn’t fix things like the dumb casino scenes, Holdo’s actions not making sense, etc.
It was also the movie that showed me the political dimensions of scifi/fantasy fandom. Some people shit on that movie from the right, I shit on it from the left.

TLJ sucked though.
