I love how Rey could have been an example of how the force can manifest in anyone . But instead she's Palpatine's granddaughter so never mind turns out it's just hereditary lol. They had it all setup and then fumbled it.

It's kind of amazing how shitty episode 7-9 are. The franchise made a profit on momentum alone.

They fucked up force canon the second they introduced mitochlorians

That could have been retconned with ease, just say the Jedi were dumbasses who thought the midichlorians were focusing the force, rather than being say micro organisms that feed on it. Just have it bw noted in a Plagius centered story since he was probably the only one actively researching it.

Well, no. JJ Abrams had some bullshit vaguely scribbled out in the margins - probably the Palpatine nonsense. The actual movie was promising.

Rian Johnson accepted everything the first movie did and gave different answers. The answers were fantastic! The movie was... okay.

JJ then went nuh uh! nuh uh! and crammed eighteen different half-baked ideas into a MacGuffin chase that made absolutely everything worse. The movie was so pretty, and the movie was so dumb.
