Ep 7 was ok, but it relied too much on nostalgia. Ep 8 was a clusterfuck of terrible decisions. I didn't watch Ep 9 and I'm happy with that.

So we can't admit a bad movie is bad because itnhappens to have a female lead?

I don't know, man. Without watching any reviews or commentaries I could have listed numerous issues with the sequel trilogy right after watching the individual movies. Sure, there were some I missed that only added oil to the fire, but it was still extremely obvious that the movies are horrendous.

Some people, perhaps a good number, do in fact blindly follow influencers' opinions and hate what they hate. This, however, in no capacity affects the fact that those movies are pieces of garbage. Whether you've come to this conclusion yourself, or you learned about it from someone else, the simple fact remains.

There's also another point to consider. Movie reviews and analyses are very common. Name any movie and there's nearly a guarantee that there are at least a few people analyzing their details and posting the findings on YouTube or elsewhere. There's nothing wrong with watching those videos and having them affect your opinion on the movie.

Personally, I've watched many different reviews, critiques and analyses of various movies, including Star Wars. In many cases, my opinion of the movies was improved due to broader context, technical details such as how VFX were made, plot elements I might have missed or other valuable information that may or may not have been obvious to me when first watching. I think this is a perfectly natural phenomenon. You like something, so you dive deeper to learn more, leading to you liking it more or less in the process.

However, in the case of most recent Star Wars movies, there's usually no additional context or details to learn, other than "the director changed 8 times and none of those 8 people knew what they were doing". You wouldn't know that from watching the movie, and personally, I think it's perfectly acceptable to give extra criticism to the company, based on external information.

At the end of the day, it's another corporation ruining what people love and this sole fact is enough to feel angry and spread negative sentiment towards that company. They 100% deserve it. Just make sure to hate the company and not other fans.

Better a white female lead than a black male lead, amirite China? And Russia? And Saudi Arabia? ....And Amerikkka?

Havent seen anything newer than episode 7, but that one was kinda mid so I didnt even care to watch the newer ones.

That's easy.

If it is made by Disney then it's bad.

It might be an entertaining movie, but it being made and controlled by Disney makes it into a bad thing.

Rogue one was the peak
