    The new trilogy had similar issues. People complain about how bad the middle one was - and it was pretty bad - but at least it was setting things up for a more interesting, more complex plotline, like when the one dude was talking about how the same corporations making weapons for the rebels were also manufacturing for the Empire.

    And then JJ Abrams took the reins again and… somehow… emperor palpatine returned.

      Except that was all wrong. THE empire had its own dedicated ship manufacturers … for instance, Sienar Systems in its various forms made TIE fighters for the empire and first order. That’s it. They made Imperial ships.

      Ruin Johnson just didn’t check lore.

      I have a hot take and think that 8 is the second best film of the 9. And that is as a film. How he told the stories and the character development. I also loved how Luke finished off Kylo Ren. But I know no one agrees with me on it. So don’t shoot me.
