      To be honest, hating the sequels makes it less likely that you’re a prick. They weren’t that good at launch, and now that the “new movie smell” has worn off, now people have the time and perspective to see that they aren’t actually that good.

      If they were any other sci-fi movies that didn’t have the “Star Wars” name in front of them, they probably would’ve bombed.

        I liked rogue one- mostly because everybody died at the end.

        And then, it hit me that… if you can find a beach and make out… you can find a shuttle or something.

          I mean there were empire reinforcements everywhere, I doubt they couldn’t. By the end of the movie, when they get and transmit the data, not only the empire has conquered the beach but the Death Star and Vader’s fleet had arrived. There was no way for them to get out of there alive

      The sequels had so much production effort, so many good story ideas, and so many good-will thrown at them… and we got that.
