None of that stuff is clear in the movie, the writing in the prequels is dog shit. I still don't even know what the hell the Trade Federation even wanted, and beyond that not sure why anyone in the audience is supposed to care. It's all poorly done. Don't get me started on Anakin going from relatively good guy to wholesale mass murder of Jedi children in a space of like 3 hours or so, lol. |
Episode 3 was horribly flawed but the difference for me was it was still entertaining (at least parts of it). Last Jedi just felt boring, preachy, pointless, and glum the entire time. I'll certainly give you Ep 1 and 2, those were abominations. Ep1 with the overly convoluted political plot points and subplots that go nowhere as well as Jar Jar *cringe*, and Ep2 with its lame ass love story.
Come to think of it - I think somebody already said it here, or maybe it was a different topic, but only Star Wars movies to really blow my mind were A New Hope and Empire. Even Return of the Jedi was.. meh, "alright" but it had some lame moments. The series as a whole has just been a roller coaster of mostly crap and mediocrity since then, from the films, to TV, to books, to games and EU stuff.. I'd say it's time for Star Wars to end, ironically just like Luke said of the Jedi in TLJ.. As I said before, we need a fresh new epic series to disrupt the industry much like Star Wars did 40 years ago. The ironic thing is that Star Wars now IS the very industry that it once revolutionized.
