Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
TFA was wack af, rouge one was decent. Star wars is just meh for so long now. This new one has a cool trailer but so did tfa.Rogue One made TFA worse in hindsight... and basically ruined all future SW hype for me. I just can't get as excited as i used to.
TFA was a blast the first time I saw it. Yeah, it was a rehash, but I was able to put that aside b/c i just figured the plan was "we gotta ease these people in to the new movies. Give em some new shyt but keep the formula they know." Fine. Cool. This is standard "reboot, sequel" shyt in Hollywood. I really enjoyed it.
... then they fukkin made the most pointless movie of all time. "Well, this one's a dark gritty SW movie! it's a WAR!!!" and it was about a female lead climbling around inside of a death star.
I contend that if Rogue One wasn't made, and they did something completely different for once, the opinion on TFA wouldn't have slipped as much as it has, and a lot of people wouldn't be skeptical about TLJ/Episode 9
In conclusion, Rogue One was an absolutely pointless movie, and you will never sway this opinion.
