I enjoyed #RiseOfTheSkywalker but left the theater with that feeling of having learned nothing more about Star Wars, and I could not agree more with Rian Johnson when he said a movie should not be built upon fanservice as an ultimate narrative force. #ROTS never takes any risk.

It loses itself in useless nostalgia and fanservice, like it was a goddamn checklist wished by some random fan on Reddit. It never tries to challenge its audience, and always gives us more of the same Star Wars sauce we are used to = not what I'm expecting as a first-hour fan.

In the end, it makes this trilogy even more inconsistent, and my love for
#TheLastJedi only bigger. Because it's the only episode in this trilogy to actually have a VISION, to propose new ideas and dare to question pre-conceptions about the Force and other SW pillars.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
It brought a new philosophical dimension to Star Wars, and I would have loved to see the whole trilogy directed by Johnson. Sure,
#RiseOfTheSkywalker has its moments, thanks to great acting and stunning visual direction, but it doesn't expand Star War's universe at all. Sigh.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
I should add that I won't blame J.J Abrams, but more the producing at Disney which seems to generally take the easiest, most mainstream way because eh, "that's what fans want" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, it won't lessen my love for
#StarWars at all, and I need#JediFallenOrder right now.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread
And because of this, I don't think that the ones that didn't like SW8 will love SW9 either. People were mostly disappointed with the story and I don't think that the fanservice helped this movie. The pitch isn't really good in itself :/
