Don't get me wrong, i enjoy them. I think they're fun. But all of them are campy, kinda cheesy and the writing is fairly cliche. And that's ok! So are the Transformers movies or the Pacific Rim franchise. They're still entertaining and fun, but c'mon we're not talking storytelling master pieces here.

So to see those words come up as criticisms is weird to me.

Oh, I could list it all, starting with the fact that they didn't use any imagination with TFA, it was just a reboot. Forgivable, but TLJ needed to be the movie that moves the story. It moved it...off a cliff.

Meh. Whatever. I'm 49 years old and I grew up on the originals. There was a magic that could never be recaptured, but they tried I guess. It's just that they pushed this thing, it was not organic. They wanted to make a Star Wars Universe ala Marvel, and it just doesn't work with Star Wars. So we wind up with a mess full of characters that we don't care about re-hashing virtually the same story. It. Sucks.
