Theres no universe where the sequels are good. For film, books, video games, or any art medium to be good they have to have something they want to share/say/show to the world, and wanting to show a film to make a bunch of money is not one of the passions that makes art good. You want Star Wars to be good again? Give them 25 dollars and hire Palestinians directly from Gaza as the writers. It’ll come with the bonus of everyone hating Israel more.
Epp 8 had something to share, say and show the world.
But some of the fans weren’t happy about it.Again, the middle one was the best.
Genuinely, what was that?
It was trying to show how Star Wars could grow into more complex storylines than good Jedi vs evil Sith. How the concept of balance the previous films tried to talk about could be reinterpreted as a search for balance within one’s self. Reconciling ones own light and dark aspects makes a whole person. An idea epp 6 started with the turning of Vader at the end.
Also there was the idea of getting away from the power of dynastic bloodlines. The idea that The Force could choose anyone.
Finally there was shoehorned in there a message about the inequality in the galaxy, even with the new republic having taken control. There was still the ruling ownership class, and the exploited working class. That part I’ll admit, was very forced and inelegantly tacked on. Should have been saved for the next trilogy.
