THE LAST JEDI currently has a worst user score than any other Star Wars movies

I still avoid spoilers but this is absurd. I just don't understand. A new movie just came out this Thursday night and it seems people on the social media in general hated movie. I mean, I don't get why Star Wars fans are so disappointed with the current SW movies more than the prequel (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) trilogy. Current Star Wars movies were all considered 'great' by the critics so what's the big deal?

THE FORCE AWAKENS - Generally not a remake of A New Hope by any means, it's original and refreshing which was a good start to the sequel trilogy.

ROGUE ONE - Original and refreshing A New Hope prequel movie with Vietnam War theme.

THE LAST JEDI - I won't wait to see it until Christmas Day and I'm pretty sure it's great.


Star Wars fans seems to dislike the current SW movies more than the prequel trilogy. What the f is going on?

 

Simply happens b/c aggregator sites like Rotten Tomato’s or IMDB can be manipulated. Who cares.

 

Fuck the IMDb. You can't trust that.

The Last Jedi got an A from Cinemascore! This finally shut all the fucking haters/fanboys up!!!!!

 

Day 3 and the disappointments/hates still going? Jesus Christ.....

 

I didn't watch any of the new Star Wars movies after Revenge of the Sith. I don't think I'm missing out but, I'll have a look at Force Awakens tonight.

 

That's because the current movies grab continuity by the neck and stab it. You can enjoy them if you want though. I'm just incapable of turning off my brain.

 

Couldn't agree more and it's not just Star Wars. Just take a look at "Ghostbusters" 2016, straight up disaster.

 

Yeah, but nowadays things are more about representation of "disenfranchised" groups and less about storytelling. People don't like the new trilogy because it had a cohesive plot and a protagonist with flaws and complexities like the OT. They like it because a "strong" woman is the protagonist and a "man of color" is a supporting character. It backfired on Marvel Comics and would on the Star Wars franchise if people actually took time to look at the flaws in the movie instead of "OMFG, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars movie" or "Fuq the haters" or "The haters will never be satisfied". This is why it is near impossible for someone to give any constructive criticism. See flaws in a movie with a non-hetero relationship, " You're a homophobe/transphobe/lesbophobe,etc". Anhow, I'm done with the rant.

 

The prequels had flaws and didn't handle Anakin's character as well as the Clone Wars did but at least you could say he lost a lot despite being the "Chosen One". In The Phantom Menace, he almost died pod-racing. In Attack of the Clones, he lost his arm to Darth Tyranus. In Revenge of The Sith, he got destroyed by Obi-Wan during one of the most memetic scenes of all time. Rey on the other hand somehow beats Kylo Ren who is using the pain from his wound to fuel his connection to the Dark Side, beat Finn( someone who held his own against a trooper trained in melee combat) despite her barely having any skill with her staff( as seen with the scene where she rescues BB-8) let alone a lightsaber which is designed differently. And I haven't even mentioned her fixing the Millennium Falcon's hyperspace drive before Han could figure out what was wrong despite her stating she never left the planet before which means she never would have seen a hyperspace drive before as it is used to exit a planet or her being trusted with Luke Skywalker's location(which is very critical information that took years to acquire) or what she does in The Last Jedi( as I won't spoil for those who haven't watched the movie).
