They just aren’t good, everything that made the originals wonderful was stripped away all for the sake of ‘change’. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Personally I thought the prequels where meh. But Disney’s mistreatment of the classic characters in favour of a character that can already do everything & has no development at all throughout the series. The casino scene was drawn out the point of being ridiculous, reys lineage was the most un-Shakespearean twist in the series, luke was portrayed as a sad old hermit that wan tide to kill Ben (keep in mind this is the guy who got darts Vader to come back to the light side) and from a story standpoint achieved nothing in the series as a whole. Disney has done what George did back in 1999 & tried to cash in & recapture the magic of the originals (George Lucas actually had little to do with the originals storytelling). Instead like the prequels, the new Star Wars has fallen flat on its face & essetially defeated the purpose & message of the original franchise. Democracy over tyranny. Good vs evil. Jedi vs sith. Extraordinary times call for extrodinary people. And as for the racist pricks who bitch about the film being ‘too diverse’, all I have to say is Star Wars has always been diverse & unique. The galaxy is a big place after all. So your assumption that people like myself dislike TLJ because we’re racist, sexist idiots is misguided. The real SW fans like myself are more interested in story & were disappointed at the direction the franchise had taken. In my eyes there are still only 3 SW films:
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of The Jedi
The EU is cannon too (which Disney destroyed : (
Bit of a rant but that is my viewpoint anyway
