It is going to get worse.

Advance word has it that the third episode features two Jedi lesbians using the Force to conceive a child.

Not me; I watched the first one (number 4 in the original grouping of however many) and enjoyed it. The ones after that seemed like the first round of sequels to Planets Of The Apes without Charlton Heston. How many ways can you dress up a monkey and shoot guns?

The longer this goes on, the more it seems like CGI was the death of movie-making. Who knew that Roger Rabbit would be the high point?

The Last Jedi did inspire one of the best BLR spoofs:

The Last Jedi which is about the last time I was in a theatre was for me the last straw. Haven’t watched any star wars since I’m glad I’m out of the fan loop now. The thought of even subscribing to Disney+ or any of the streaming services nowadays is anathema to me.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, through two episodes, the newest Disney+ series – which made waves earlier this week when it was deemed the gayest Star Wars yet during an interview with creator Leslye Headland – has an abysmal 31% approval rating from the audience.

That is bad news on several fronts. The fact that it's almost a third id unbelievable. It should be in single digits hovering at the bottom of those single digits.

After the first movie where in the end Darth Vader is hurling off into space with his damaged wing fighter - off into space where the movie ends. Period. No prequels, no SW 2, ect. Done. Finished. Now how many SW’s have been made?

Worse than Solo?

I like Solo. I also think Dryden Vos (played by Paul Bettany) is a very original and perfectly acted Bad Guy.

Worse than Attack of the Clones?

I agree that Attack of the Clones is not a great episode, but I like the young Obi Wan Kanobe (Ewan McGregor), plus some great action scenes fighting alien beasts.

Alas, the total absence of any well acted chemistry between Padme (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), plus three deficient scripts, eventually doomed the entire Episode I-II-III series.

I thought the first Star Wars movie was really good. I saw it on opening night in the theater way back in ‘77. However, after the 2nd one I was all through with everything Star Wars. It was two and done for me.

Phantom Menace was good, especially the final 30 minutes.

That one horrible! If I want see a little kid who knows more about fixing spaceships and robots than the adult men, I’ll watch the original “Lost in Space”, it didn’t take itself so seriously.

I wonder if they had ever seen sexy slave Princess Leia. Lucas knew what fans wanted. Action, heroes, bad guys, violence, and good to prevail over evil. I don’t know too many gay people but the few I do hate a ll this crap.

It’s intentional. Their directors even stupidly brag about subversion. The best strategy is to deny them anything, even outrage. Just treat their insults with apathy and absolutely no money.

Critical Drinker, Chris Gore, Nerdrotic, HeelsvBabyface, Doomcock, and whole host of others are all over this. Comparing it even to defiling the corpse of Star Wars.
