Best Jedi Mind Trick Ever in fun
0 ups, 2d
Not because I copied someone's opinions, but because these things are almost universally obvious to everyone except a few like you. I watched the first sequel movie. I know how they treated Han, and the force wasn't how the force worked, even in the first sequel. As for not seeing the other two, I have seen Luke standing over Kylo about to off him, and since Palpatine returned that obviously invalidates Vader's sacrifice. It's not difficult to figure this out.

The previous movies can't exist in the same universe as pre-Disney Star Wars. In pre-Disney even the chosen one needs training to learn how to use the force like every Jedi and Sith needs to do anything advanced. Wisdom gained through learning from other force users, and experience with the force, over years. The light switch to advanced powers the instant Rey learned the Jedi aren't a myth cannot exist in the same universe, and it breaks any illusion of a consistent world.

If they were going to have legacy character to get butts in seats, the last thing anyone who came to see those characters wanted was character assassinating them, and offing them. Passing of the torch can work, but it never works like that. That wasn't the real Han, Luke, or Leah even. They undid Han's redemption arc and offed him. Luke who saw the good in Darth Vader suddenly tries to off Kylo because of a dream. With "somehow Palpatine returned" they also wrecked Anakin's character arc that goes through all non-Disney Star Wars movies, and invalidated his sacrifice.

It's not just my taste. They made objectively bad decisions that the majority of moviegoers wouldn't like, and didn't follow basic world continuity rules. Disney buys up ips they don't understand, and thinks having what are said to be the characters, and looking like the thing, is what matters, not staying consistent with the story's themes and values, or the classic characters actually acting like themselves. That's why most reboots, and remakes are trash.

You: From my perspective the fans are evil!

Me: Then you truly are lost.

Right, I was already better all along. :) I wasn't arguing about whether they're "evil", but it's a fact that they have destroyed franchises. I would know better than to ruin children's dreams like that.

In the first amendment Congress not establishing a religion means they shouldn't make a federal state church (sponsored by the federal government), or force anyone to be a religion, it does not mean those governing a largely Christian people should not represent that morality and world view in their governance, or laws. There used to be anti-adultery laws, and that was obviously because of Christian morality, but it didn't require practicing Christianity to obey them.

The founders weren't deists. A deist cannot say "God governs in the affairs of men," as Benjamin Franklin said at the Constitutional Convention when he recommended they begin with prayer and have clergy officiate it. While they didn't want denominational persecution by law, the idea that they banned Christian morality guiding how the nation was governed is also false. As near as I can tell, the so called "Christian nationalists" that the left fear, don't want anything different than the founders wanted. I don't think state mandated Catholicism or Protestantism or even state mandated belief in Christianity is part of that.
