The movies feel like toddlers making up the story as they play with figurines.

Checklist movies. It becomes more important for the movie to have X element due to marketing reasons rather than plot reasons.

If the movie has more marketing elements than plot elements, it's a checklist movie.

That got me a chuckle. It does look like that.

Episode 9, absolutely.

The Last Jedi is an anarchist critique of Star Wars that somehow got made into a Star Wars.

Honestly, I'd rather them have let toddlers make up the story while playing with figurines. I was certainly coming up with better plotlines than what they shat out with the sequels when I was a kid.
