Reminds me of all the people who call The Last Jedi a failure despite making like a billion. Man, if these things are failures, let MY work fail!

Tbf, Star Wars is Star Wars. I didnt like the new trilogy but I went to the Cinema for every Movie they put out, i watched every Series more than once and i will continue doing so cause it’s Star Wars. Shitty Star Wars Media is still Star Wars Media 🤷‍♂️

That doesnt work for ND tho, their games are just all good.

I have more than my share of criticisms of how Disney has handled Star Wars, and Rise of Skywalker is, to me, the worst Star Wars movie, but I can't consider TLJ a failure in any sense except maybe in the failure of what came after to follow up on it.

TLJ is the best of the sequel trilogy, which sadly isn't a hard bar to clear considering the final film. It gave us a lot to chew on, and had IMO the best moments from the sequel trilogy. Too bad JJ Abrams basically spent an entire movie retconning TLJ and effectively making the entire sequel trilogy a flop.
