The best film of the New trilogy in my opinion, Just because it was diffrent and the fights where cool also.
People can justifiably complain about some of the creative choices Johnson went with in The Last Jedi all they want, but it's still a far more coherent movie than The Rise of Skywalker. And for all the crap that people give it, The Last Jedi still has more than a handful of great moments. I'll never not love Luke reuniting with R2 in the Falcon, the Yoda scene, Rey and Kylo vs. Snoke's guards, the kamikaze lightspeed jump, Luke and Leia's last scene, and Luke facing off against the First Order. Those are legitimately great Star Wars moments. By comparison, there were only three moments in The Rise of Skywalker that even remotely came close to those IMO, and those were Luke's ghost lifting the X-Wing, Han's ghost talking to Ben, and all the Jedi talking to Rey. The latter scene would have been infinitely better if we had seen the actual Force ghosts. I did like the "But there are more of us, Poe" moment when I first saw it, but now it just looks like a bunch of copied and pasted ships that we mostly don't have any real connection to, on top of feeling derivative of the portals scene from Endgame.
Exactly. Just because Marcia Lucas is being a ***** over the newer movies doesn't mean they suck. It's just her opinion. Disagree with her all you want (I know I do), but just remember that opinions from filmmakers aren't "facts". I'm really ****ing tired of all this discourse and whining over Kathleen Kennedy and the newer movies.Killing off Han Solo is probably the only way to get Harrison Ford to come back. Ford wanted Solo to die in Return of the Jedi.
Also, that was a really slanted clickbait article.

One MORE thing: I gurantee you the whiners are going to find something to ***** about Taika Watiti's movie and Patty Jenkins' Rouge Squadron and then go back and say "y'know, the sequels weren't bad after all in comparison" just like you did the prequels. BUNCH OF ****ING CRYBABIE HYPOCRITES, the lot of them. Hell, they harassed Kelly Marie Tran for absolutely no reason. WTF was it about her character that got them triggered other than she's played by an Asian actress? I swear the people who whine about the sequels are nothing more than a bunch of barely-closeted sexists and racists.
Wow, lol. I didn't realize Marcia Lucas was still that opinionated about Star Wars. Pretty harsh words, and she had some cold shade to throw at the prequels too.
Makes you wonder what may have happened with Lucasfilm, or the whole trajectory of the franchise for that matter, if she and George had never divorced.
It was definitely something to read those harsh comments, but you gotta take into account that Star Wars probably means a lot more to her than most people. I mean, she was there.
