Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3372885, member: 44"] I actually agree. The original movie was a great good vs. evil heroic quest. From Empire forward Lucas drifted from the original story. (For example, in the original story the emperor was a weak president who named himself emperor and then left running the rest of the galaxy to the regional governors, a situation that some of them like Tarkin, decided to take advantage of.) The Force Awakens got back that into original narrative. (In fact, one can reasonably consider it a remake of A New Hope, since it is pretty much the same plot. The Last Jedi, IMO, abandoned that in favor of multiple side stories that no one cared about and absolutely wasted the core character of the first three movies. It was prequel level garbage IMHO. It lost my rekindled interest in the series. I'll probably watch the Rise of Skywalker on TV, eventually. [/QUOTE]
