It's kinda hard not to have confirmation bias in things like this. I mean, the hate train is popular. Donno why. It's easy I guess, gives people a chance to feel better about themselves as they can criticize something thinking that they're some kind of connoisseur. The movies get a lot of hate. Were they great movies? Absolutely. Were they great Skywalker movies... Eh. Mediocre. It gave closure. People didn't want that. They wanted the skywalker-high again.
It's really sad though, that people just want cheap thrills. I mean, any star wars movie that speaks to women's independence is hated by a faction of the fandom.
Don't try to say Jyn Erso, she ended up being the guy's affection. Remember Solo? Droid was talking about equal rights, though it came off as feminism equal rights. Leia depended on Han, she wasn't truly independent. Funny how that shit works.
I mean, I'm gladly open to discussion, but I don't deal with vitriol. Not worth my time.
