FA was the laziest writing of the entire franchise.
- They flat out recycled Star Wars. Just stone cold remade the same movie.
- Don't get me started on the lead. Trying to mean mug the whole movie when you look like a Disney channel actress (rolls eyes)
- Just dumb stuff like the Falcon just lying around a junk yard in the boondocks
- Then magically Han shows up, then at the same time magically the people chasing HIM show up (rolls eyes)
- Hey, let's don't bother with an origin story we'll make the lead a jedi master right off the bat
- The real stupid rationale for Luke leaving his Jedi school. OK, one kid gets turned so you abandon an ENTIRE SCHOOL of vulnerable apprentices???
- No explanation for why some Imperial offshoot is just as powerful as the old empire and had a munchkinism bigger and better death star.
- Han and Leia basically being recycled versions of themselves from Episode 4. The idea of a 70 year old guy deciding to just up and go back to smuggling when he's goat hero. Lame drama setup between the two.
I think a lot of people had so much emotional investment in shytting on Lucas for 10 years and telling each other that anyone could do a better job with the franchise than him, they couldn't admit the movie sucked.
I legit listened to people for years talking about how that Serenity movie was better than all the prequels and what eps 1-3 should have been. I tried watching that trash last week couldn't get 15 minutes through it
