And 'really not better than typical' kind of misses the entire point, when it comes to groundbreaking. Before ANH, sci-fi was DECIDEDLY hokey and silly. There's a reason so much of it ends up on MST3K. Aliens and monsters were ridiculous. Effects were laughable. Narratives were stuffy and slow. There were people in their 80s who had never seen anything like it, imagine a 5 or 6 yo seeing it for the first time, with no frame of reference anything like the present day. It was silly and hokey, but it was also rousing and swashbuckling, and it was a coherent, credible and relatable story taken seriously. 'Typical sci-fi' has been chasing the initial thrill of ANH ever since, and if it's even MARGINALLY superior after 40 years, that's quite a testament. The only analogs I can think of are Smells Like Teen Spirit, and the IPhone. Not even The Beatles were as revolutionary at first.

With each insipid utterance by Daisy Ridley, and every LGBTQBBQWTF admission by director JJ Abrams, I'm becoming steadily turned off to seeing this.

Chewbacca's affection for C-3PO is retconned as an emotional dependence on his skills in therapeutic Wookie prostate massage.

If you were tasked with coming up with the worst possible ending to this trilogy, that would be it. Hands down.
