re: TLJ wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be

I have this opinion and argued it for a year after release with people just reduced to calling me names and insulting me.
Truth is the Star Wars property had so much hype around it people were not going to be happy with even a "perfect" star wars movie. Everyone is too attached.
The easiest way to prove my point is the prequels when released were trashed as hard if not harder than the current trilogy. And now that we have new movies to trash, all of a sudden people are retconning their feelings about the prequels. It'll likely happen again when Disney tries a new Star Wars story as well.
Did Rian Johnson just phone it in and didn't help this whole thing? Sure maybe but it's surely not as bad as the backlash.

Which is odd, because almost every film in the franchise is flawed in some way. Empire is really the only "perfect" movie in the bunch. A New Hope will always be loved because it was the first, but even it has some glaring flaws.

TLJ deserved every bit of backlash it has received.
It's a horrid movie at all levels, and that's before the blatant SJW crap.
