Exactly, people need to stop pretending Star Wars is something it isn't. It ain't high science fiction, it ain't some coherent canon of beautiful authentic story telling. Apart from Rogue One and Andor, it's space shows for kids. The plots never made total sense, the acting was always corny, the writing wasn't exactly tight. All the way back to A New Hope. It's pew-pew-pew blasters in space, bad guys vs good guys, etc. I hated the sequels, they were awful, each in their own unique way. Abrams makes garbage stories from whatever he touches these days. But he makes garbage that makes money, and that's really what it's about. Public hands over $$, gets to see shiny space battles with a dose of nostalgia. That's what they're paying for, whether the true fans complain or not. Myself, I hated the prequels, too, but I rewatched them recently with my adolescent son, though, and he was fine with them and, yeah... because as cheez and corny and incoherent as they were, that's what Star Wars is. I'll save my purism for Dune. |
