    I like ep7 honestly. It has problem, but it’s also…fun? Ep8 is pure nonsense(carpet bomber in space…? Jedi leia?) and it makes me drop the whole franchise. I heard ep9 is even more nonsense.

    I fell asleep watching ep1 lol.

      Jedi Leia has some formerly canonical basis. She should have already been a full Jedi well before ep7 even if you throw out the entire EU, as Disney did.

      Resetting canon to only include the movies and shows was criminal in my opinion, since they would have literally had decades worth of scripts in those books.

          that is a much more coherent opinion, and one I share completely. They absolutely should have had Leia training Rey in some capacity first, although I have to assume Fisher’s age, if not her health, may have influenced their decisions on where to take her character.
