I’ll be honest, I think that’s a huge part of the problem.

A Trilogy is supposed to mesh well, but it feels like Rian Johnson got the job and said “you know what, just frick that other movie. frick it to hell. I’m just gonna make my own shite right here “. And as a stand alone, it still had its problems. But they were magnified when you were like “hey, wasn’t there just a movie that was made before this one? What about that movie? And what about all of this other shite that doesn’t go with any of the other movies?” If you can completely disregard any of the other movies in the saga you could possibly like this movie. It is still a very flawed and incoherent film but it had explosions and space battles and shite, some action. Some of the Kylo and Rey scenes were fabulously done, but they alone couldn’t save this film from the rest of itself.
