For the rabid toxic segment of the TLJ haters now that it fits their agenda critic reviews are relevant again.

Not even saying this specifically to defend the movie(TLJ had many problems including pacing, basically everything to do with Holdo and failure to follow up on many elements of TFA in satisfactory ways or at all...such as Phasma or the Knights of Ren.)

All valid complaints but Iunno how much that'll effect my enjoyment

I've felt for a while that this movie is going to get the benefit of lowered expectations and receive a bounce back appreciation by the average movie goer. I'm expecting a fairly simple story, typical explosions and space stuff for the genre, and a play it safe movie which basically is the counter to TLJ and thus, will get a decent response.

Usually only really watch Jeremy Jahn's and Chris Stuckmann's reviews for movies, and it seems Jeremy doesn't like it much either.

I remember saying after JJ was announced to direct ep 9 that it would be hilarious if he gave Rian Johnson the middle finger and tossed out TLJ like he tossed out TFA. By all accounts it sounds like that's exactly what he did lmao. I'm sure it will be entertaining at least.

Blows my mind they didn't plan out the whole trilogy before they started, but as a result we get 2 directors pissing on each others work, which is fun ita own right I guess.

from what i can tell jj had an outline of what he wanted to do but rian johnson really wanted to kill luke in his movie and subvert expectations, so it brought the trilogy to a halt
yeah considering how TFA was all about finding Luke, I really doubt JJ's plan included all of the shit that RJ did to Luke

really, really needed one consistent person in charge of all 3 and I hope if DIsney makes another trilogy after this, whether it's 10-12: Empire-Threeie or an unrelated trilogy, they realize that

Either that or have the two directors work together and collaborate on some sort of plot structure. Plenty of projects have multiple writers whether it's movies or video games, and they usually work together and come to an agreement.

That's totally not what they did here.

Those fans already can't forgive what happened and already decided to trash the movie. A cop out like bringing palpy back didn't help either. Critics are mad because they supported Rian but JJ reversed everything.

These movies are just a battle of the directors ideas and it's delicious hmmmmmm.

Well I meant someone above the directors that kind of makes sure there's a plan being followed like a Kevin Feige. The original trilogy had different directors for all three and felt like one cohesive story.

well you are in luck because they are giving johnson his own trilogy
That could be really good as long as it's Old Republic or far enough in the future that no existing characters appear. He's clearly a great filmmaker if you look at the rest of his work, he was just very much not the right choice for the 2nd movie in a trilogy

that seems inconsistent. tlj didnt follow up on TFA but critics seemed to enjoy it
Probably because they thought TLJ was a step in the right direction, while this is a step back.

Now, me personally, I don't think VIII is all that good, but IX already lost me with playing scared and bringing a former villain back.

Star Wars is one of those things where I really enjoy the thing itself and pretty much ignore the fans and Internet presence about it.

So Ill just continue to like the space opera with laser swords and everything else is just pointless noise in the background.

See also Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

I don't know if I'd agree that a movie like Star Wars being fan servicey is a valid complaint.

Likely what it'll end up being.

TLJ: 91% of critics liked it, abysmal audience score
RoS: abysmal critic score, I'm betting the audiences will love it. I've heard mostly positive buzz from regular folks.
