    This is the best analysis I’ve seen on this and couldn’t agree more. I also felt the same after The Last Jedi. I left the theater extremely happy that they were trying something different only to go online and see that so many people hated it. And the Star Wars fandom has only degraded from there. “Mutually dependent downward spiral” is a great way to put it.

      I was pleased with it as well but despite trying to avoid spoilers I had heard the casino scene was a good time for piss break. I took it and that may have influenced my view.

      It was never going to be a good trilogy with the lack of cohesion Disney allowed but it was interesting at the time. I haven’t watched it since release though.

      Nice addition. I have the same feelings about last Jedi. And look what happened to that trilogy once they tried to appease the fans!
