I thought TLJ was great. There are logical problems, the casino part wasn't my cup of team, and the Phasma/Finn story was kind of lame, but I enjoyed it. I liked all the Rey, Luke, Ren stuff. I don't think I've ever actually liked Luke as a character until this one. Best looking Star Wars movie by far. Probably put it behind Empire and Force Awakens, but I don't get the hate for it.

I lot of people hated Last Jedi. I didn't really care for it myself, but didn't hate it like a lot of people. J.J. Abrams is back for this one so that has me a little hopeful for a bounce back. I really liked Rogue One and Solo. More than 8 and 9 to be honest.

Agreed. The overall plot was pretty good, spoiled at times by silly scenes like Leia surviving in space, Snoke being killed so easily, and the ham-fisted casino side plot.

I get why the Snoke thing bugs people, but I loved it.

I liked the scene in general. Just the fact that he was tricked so easily doesn't really jibe with being this super powerful sith lord. Palpatine wouldn't have gone out like that.

Part of it is that I thought he was kind of a lame villain out of a kids cartoon while Ren is more interesting, and secondly supervillains like that are never killed even when the opportunity presents itself. I think I laughed at the time. Plus it was a logical thing for Ren to do because there's no reason to put up with it.

The new trilogy is probably as good as the original trilogy but it didn't have the advantage of being the birth of this thing that inspired people and tapped into something that transcended the actual quality of the films themselves. In all actuality, it's competing against that because people WANT the new trilogy to do that but it's impossible to reproduce.

The new films are probably 7.5/10 films which is about all you can expect given the parameters and marks they need to hit.
