I agree with most you have to say, personally I think the only movie that really holds weight since Disney took over is rogue One. andor is a good watch too. th

  Mando and Andor finally got it. Or, more accurately, they knew what the rest of us did, that the purpose of the medium - any medium - is to tell a story. The finbros and Disney people, not being normal humans, are (hopefully, were) trying to deliver a Star Wars experience. Yeah, whatever the hell that means (anytime my job description has the word "Experience" in it, that's almost always a red flag). Did MCU not teach you anything, Disney? "Hey, I got a great idea for a Western . ." bam! Logan. "Do you know, what if we had like a cold war paranoia spy movie and . ." bam! Winter Solider. "Dang, so if you have a heist movie, but the twist is we have a shrink ray and . . "bam! Ant-Man. Tie all of 'em up with a McGuffin, a Big Bad, and, ding, instant cinematic universe. See what we did there? We made stories first. It's also, incidentally, what the great Star Wars video games did as well. Even the not-so-great; the elite storm trooper who loses her faith is frickin' amazing (damn, Finn got robbed, screenplay-wise . . also, again, his character does not need to exist . . goddammit, stop wasting my time, Finbro Disney People!). Probably "Don't Waste Anyone's Time" is a good one sentence screenwriting lesson. Anyhoosit. Enough grousing from this old fart.
