    I loved TFA too, and TLJ is something I feel like I can never even discuss because it is actually my second favorite Star Wars movie after Empire Strikes Back, but Star Wars fans will drag your ass for saying such a thing.

    In my headcanon, the entire franchise ended with broom kid.

      I really think Rian Johnson should not have been given part two of three. If we didn’t have TFA and TRoS, his film could have been a really cool “Star Wars Story” exploring some post Episode VI ideas in a single sitting. Johnson’s thing is subversive writing, which isn’t super compatible with an ongoing franchise, much less with the middle part of a trilogy; you’ve got to have that kind of thing baked all the way through.
