Comment Or maybe the Disney star wars movies are crap? (Score 1) 340
With the exception of the excellent Rogue One, all disney star wars movie (I haven't seen ROS, not going to) feel like fanfiction. Re-hashing the main beats from canon, poor writing, no overall plan for the trilogy.. The last jedi pretty much killed what was a guaranteed event movie every christmas if it had been handled by semi-competent writers who love the material. When you see what can be done with The Mandalorian, disney is almost taunting us that they could write a good trilogy the whole time if they felt like it. And that has nothing to do with streaming: the Mandalorian is a thinly-disguised western, but it is well written, with approachable characters that do believable things. It's fun to watch. Imagine that! I haven't been entertained in a movie theater more than twice in two years, and that was Alita Battle Angel and Ready Player One.
