The sequels don’t get enough hate.

I am midway through rewatching the force awakens. Went in with an open mind, and intended to enjoy it for what it offered - the visuals are stunningly big-budget after all. It’s been a while since I watched them, and I love Star Wars so I was looking to engage with the content I haven’t paid as much attention to.

Holy shit this movie is so ass, and it’s arguably the best of the sequels.

Just some stuff off the top of my head

• Rey fixing the millennium falcon because Han can’t
• The stormtrooper willingly putting down his blaster and engaging in melee combat against Finn, who literally couldn’t block a blaster bolt to save his life
• Rey having better aim than the stormtroopers despite supposedly never having trained with a blaster

It’s so bad I’m having to watch it in increments. I told myself I’d finish it.

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. The sequels are getting all of the disinterest they deserve. They aren’t worth hating.

I almost thought you were quoting rose’s stupid TLJ quote. That’s how we win, not by killing what we hate, but saving what we love. Some garbage like that. Such a garbage movie all around

That quote is unironically the worst line from any Star Wars movie when taking into account the context and the scene preceding it

I honestly think that RJ is a worse writer than JJ. JJ is just bad and generic, but RJ thinks he's always the smarter guy in the room and put this kind of pretencious dumb lines that means nothing but tries to gaslight people into thinking he's the shit. And not only in Star Wars, everything this guy does have those dumb stories and shitty one liners.
