If you saw The Last Jedi in the theater do you plan on seeing The Rise of Skywalker?

The ****ed up part is Phantom Menace, as bad as it was, is high art compared to Last Jedi.

Sad, but not unexpected. I think it's just one of those things that is better left in the past (for me). Even re-watching the original trilogy diminishes the memory as my adult self notices the flaws that went past my younger self. Effing ewoks defeat the forces of the empire with rocks and ropes? Terrible.

Dude, I hated that in 1983.

ROTJ has the best parts of the original trilogy (Luke/Vader/Emperor) and the worst parts (silly ass teddy bears).
