> Pinky is the Genius And The Brain is Insane
Isn't this partly the main joke of the series? If the Brain was such a genius, one of his plans would surely work.

What do you mean? What fake teeth? Could you elaborate?

It takes away from the other films as well by cheapening the force and the ability to wield it. Luke barely manages to lift some rocks after a lot of training montage, Rei lifts heaps of rocks without formal training. I don't think there's many people that liked the sequels. I can't believe they went in with those gung-ho, without the story fleshed out already. I mean the stakes were incredibly high, billions in revenue for the foreseeable future.
It's telling that the secondary things - Rogue One, Mandalorian - are fan favorites instead.

To be fair that "light speed weapon" scene was incredibly awesome to watch (and "hear"). If I remember anything from that trilogy ... it is that scene.

To be fair, Rey turned out to be the grand-daughter of one of the strongest Sith lords of all time. She was probably naturally strong in the force (like Anakin for example). I enjoyed the sequels (but I also enjoy most movies because my super power is the ability to turn off my brain and not over think things).

#37I've been in heated debates about this, and it's good to see the case for my point of view stated plainly and with supporting evidence.
heated debates!? As in literally multiple full on arguments? I've argued a lot of dumb stuff before but could never imagine a discussion about a much loved kids cartoon getting heated. Let alone repeatedly.

Star Wars has lost me. I loved 4,5,6, and I found 1,2,3 at least exciting to see the story arc closed up. But what came afterwards was pretty much unwatchable. I went to the cinema for Rogue One even, but dont remember a single plot-line. Thats pretty unusual for me, since I uslally remember storylines from movies I watched many years ago. But this stuff just didnt leave any impression at all.
Conventional wisdom says the prequel trilogy was a good story, poorly executed, while the sequel trilogy was a poor story, well executed.
I would call it a poor story, well, executed.

Star Wars is impossible to enjoy without a very generous suspension of disbelief, which is why I was practically offended by TLJ. It away full of cynical rug pulls that not only failed to reward, but actively punished, that suspension of disbelief. The first movie hinted at Rey's parents being somebody relevant, and the second movie doubles down on it, only to reveal that Rey was a "nobody" after all. It's like a magician making your $20 bill disappear and it never comes back.

Ridiculous that the entire movie was basically a setup for one scene that admittedly looked cool, but also made no sense in the context of the universe. Can't believe they let someone like that steer an American cultural icon into the ground.
