Has Rian Johnson damamged the franchise more than Lucas did with the prequels?


Id say Rian Johnson has, i wasnt a fan of the Prequels but the strories were pretty dam superb, just shame the way it was pieced together.

Alot more negativity surround TLJ than the Prequels , TLJ was so poor , the prequels dont actually seem that bad now.

Screw you Rian, you suck

YES!

TFA felt like a rehash of ANH, which I suppose was necessary for JJA to do to get people interested in Star Wars again, but Johnson throws everything that JJA did out of the window and treated TLJ like his own personal fanfiction, and wrote it as such. So much stupid stuff thrown in, so many characters assassinated, that I really don't care. Even Rogue One has issues with the characters and plot, but that was set in the OT time period, so it felt like real Star Wars. But this shit? I don't care anymore, except to bash it.

Count me out of any new Star Wars set post-ROTJ, unless there's a massive, original, step-up in quality. Which we know won't happen.
