I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person in the world who thought it was, y'know, just kind of alright.

The Kylo and Rei bits were excellent. The rest was meh.

Thanks for stopping by, Mr. gigantic ray of sunshine.
Why sugar coat things? You know why really high quality films, music and games are relatively rare? Because people like stuff like Jar Jar Binks.
You like him, don't you?
And that's the problem. Say it how it is. Star Wars is all played out. The prequels were rubbish, this new set are better but the last two did end up being let downs. There was some great stuff in them but a lot of rubbish. A. Lot. You know this. This final one looks incredibly formulaic and bringing the Emperor back is really the most boring bs possible, isn't it?
In a world where there are no people with discerning taste all you get is Prequel quality films, charts full of generic boy band nonsense and pretty but vapid games.

Ironically, Star Wars is not even mentioned once in that entire article. I think SW fandom is kind of on a different level than any other franchise, and the fans will always want more.

Oh yeah, there's this too:

Some bits of that look good, and others look like a fan film.

I'm putting my nerd hat here but... Since when is carbonite the go-to for capturing people? All the tension in ESB came from using it being mega risky and Solo was more likely than not to die from it...

Well this is 5 years after Return of the Jedi, so by then maybe it's a more proven process.
The show does really look like it's trying to cash in on the popularity of The Empire Strikes Back, including the carbon freeze thing and several of the same bounty hunters.

5 years after? But how is Bobba Fett still alive? Considering his fate in ROTJ.
