They're just popcorn movies at this point nothing more, nothing less. TFA/TLJ are better than Harry Potter or most Marvel movies definitely better than the Hobbit films and the DC "Universe". 

That's good enough. The only Star Wars movies that needed to be made were IV, V, and VI, they told the whole damn story. 

Making a VII, VIII, IX was always going to be a stretch and was always going to be basically a cash grab. I don't give a fuck what Lucas says either, he had no idea what he was doing with this trilogy either. It was always going to be the same "yeah but Luke or Leia's son/daughter turns to the Dark Side, even though really this would never fucking happen because they would be 10x more careful after knowing damn well they have a shady family history". 

I actually agree with that. Tlj and Tfa were entire galaxies better than the horrible marvel movies. And even the humor. God, thank god I had popcorns and nachos the day I went to see thor ragnarok...

 

And I agree with the expanded universe central plot. Leia was a bad politician. Luke turns to the darkside. Emperor's clone...

 

For ones, I have to say that in the deep, disney had a great idea: use the original characters to then past the torch to the new ones. And then continue with the new characters.

 

The problem is basically execution. Characters on paper sounds awesome. But the execution is bad because the script is bad. No new music. Not even logic.

 

I still believe in miracles. And even if some don't want to believe, I still think that the entire trilogy can be saved if the pull the right triggers for ep ix.

Why not just have realistic expectations? The next movie is going to be better than the standard Hollywood summer movie fare ... it'll be better than Jurassic World and Avengers and the prequels certainly. 

That should be good enough. 

The next movie is also the TENTH fucking one, lol, I mean at some point the writers are probably tired of writing this shit over and over again. 

The next movie is not going to be some reaffirming, holy experience in the theater. It's not happening. Let it go, and just enjoy it for what it is or stay home.
