      To be fair, I don’t think the même is saying all new star wars is bad, just that it would be better if it was less self referential.

        Worse than Rise of Skywalker?

        Solo at least had a coherent plot with multiple memorable performances. Donald Glover and Woody Harrelson both were a ton of fun whenever on screen. Adam Driver carried the ST but Kylo’s Redemption arc in Rise was boring.

          I had 0 expectations for Rise, and it met those expectations perfectly. It did stupid things, but that was their only real option, unless you believe Kylo not getting redeemed or Rey being evil were ever an option.

          Solo took an established character and largely ruined him. The movie was also extremely boring, placing characters that obviously live in mortal peril to regularly build tension.
