The thing that TLJ does different from the other Disney episodes is actually acknowledge the prequels.

Pretty sure TLJ had the exact same CinemaScore as TFA.
Yeah lmao actual people overwhelmingly like TLJ just fine and the "backlash" against it is literally all maladjusted nerds who ruined their brains with Le Epic Sarcastic Youtube Rants Guy poo poo

In contrast, every not terminally online person I've talked to about TROS has either said it was mediocre or really hated it!!

That said I actually do agree that the "poor reception" of TLJ was a major factor in why TROS turned out as awful as it did, but it's apparent that what happened was disney's market research department mistook noisy hypersensitive comments section reactionaries for the general public and lol oopsie woopsie fucky wucky

Like I'm not suggesting people who don't like those movies don't exist but The Negativity is categorically not representative of the way most people feel about them! They are pretty well liked movies on the whole!

I should have waited to watch Rise of Skywalker. Now I'm going to watch it just to have something to watch with family and I'm going to have watched it twice

After I heard that there was an EU comic with a lot of flying Palpatine clones that was terrible, I had gotten the impression that at least the existence of that meant at least Disney wouldn't be trying anything with Palpatine clones. The movie would've been better if they had used a different villain in place of Palpatine, but they'd have had to have set that up in an earlier movie. I'd say that's what happens when your stories are written by three separate groups of people without coordination in a "passing around the campfire story continuation staff" improv kind of way, but I think there are TV shows that have done a lot better with that situation.
I mean the text of the movie doesn't state that he's a clone, it's literally Literally "somehow, palpatine returned"

Kinda like they knew what they were doing was shameful lmao

5v5 space dogfighting is pretty cool but everyone really just wants Rogue Squadron 4: Rogue Leader Again, how do they not get this. Zero chance the single player campaign is anything deeper than a series of bot deathmatches strung together with cutscenes.

On top of hoping it just doesn't straight up suck I got my fingers crossed it won't be 100% space battles, it'd be fun to weave around Coruscant skyscrapers etc.

This is definitely a tepid take but with everything said and done: the prequels aren't great, but they're extremely interesting; the sequels aren't terrible, but they're boring as poo poo
