a film in which virtually nothing is good. the shot where they reveal the vast audience of Sith cultists chanting is neat, but is there literally anything else?

Ian Mcdermid’s visibly having fun, I suppose?

a neat shot in service of an incredibly stupid and nonsensical idea, by the way!

Sean and I walked out in dead silence and didn't say anything for maybe five full minutes

it felt like the entire thing was decided on by a brainstorming session full exclusively of joyless idiots who'd never seen a real movie

no second drafts, nothing really connected to anything else. just "and then, and then, and then"

The whole project is so strange. A second film dedicated to how much the first film sucked; a third film dedicated to how much the second film sucked, so bad that it makes you wonder if maybe ALL films suck. It almost feels like someone ratfucked the franchise on purpose.

the funny thing is that in the first film you can see the outlines of a genuinely quite interesting and clever film about the impossibility of filling Star Wars’ shoes that JJ Abrams had absolutely no idea he was making

If the big bad had been a handful of Star Destroyers rather than DEATH STAR BUT EVEN BIGGER, it would have worked. sadly that would have required JJ Abrams to know how to make a film, which he does not

The second film was contrarian to the point of trolling (I did like it overall but its critiques of the franchise were frequently clumsy) and the third film was a bunch of studio execs yelling "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!" at the second film for 2 hours and change
