My dad pulled me out of school just to wait in line for Phantom Menace tickets. I thought the prequels, while enjoyable, were the last time I would be disappointed by Star Wars.
i don’t bother myself keeping up with what’s “canon” anymore because nearly every screenplay addition to the canon since the OT has been hella stupid, and most of the time retroactively makes the existing story worse. disney’s starting to ramp it up to kingdom hearts levels of convolution and pointless tie-ins that go nowhere but inexplicably contain huge plot points because… money i guess?
the OT is great but star wars as a franchise is generally fucking awful with some good bits here and there.
I’m going to get impaled for this but The Rise of Skywalker. It’s my guilty pleasure.
