What Went Wrong? - The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Retrospective

[@ThePotionMaster413]

The sequel trilogy had so much potential in being, at the very least, an enjoyable expansion of the main series. In reality, so much went wrong that what ended up happening was the series became this unsatisfying, tangled up mess of plot and fanservice.

Episodes 7 8 and 9 don't count they were simply horrible

I disagree about calling anakin or Luke mary sue's. All of them had Mary sue moments but rey was the only one with consistency.

How is Luke a Mary Sue? Can you explain, even if it's just for ANH? He didn't really do anything with the force, he destroyed the Death Star but it was more like letting the force guide him. It wasn't instant mastery at all.

Did he just say Anakin is a Mary Sue??? I guess somebody didn’t watch the end of episode 2 where he gets his freakin arm sliced off and loses to dooku.....how many limbs did Rey palpatine lose in the sequel trilogy???? I’m waiting...

[@confusedNarrator]

im inclined to believe you didn’t pay much attention as i was fairly clear in expressing that i do believe rey is a mary sue, so im unsure to as why you’re bringing her up as a point of comparison. its not mutually exclusive. while yes anakin lost his arm, if you just look at the phantom menace, anakin, about 8, builds a droid, is loved by everyone he meets, wins a podrace against professionals despite it being his first ride, and singlehandedly destroys the entire blockade. at the very least he is introduced as a sue

@@confusedNarrator two words..... character arc. Something the sequel trilogy knows nothing about.

[@confusedNarrator]

I ask once again, why are you still attacking the same thing im attacking instead of making a point? i was very clear in expressing my distaste for the sequels, so stop presenting this as a point of argument, it makes no sense

@@confusedNarrator Anakin is not loved by everyone he meets: Watto, Sebulba, Obi-Wan, Mace Windu etc. etc. do not like Anakin.

all 3 were terrible. dont try to rehab TLJ. it was the worst of the trilogy. TRS was so bad because it was attempting to correct TLJ's horrible misfires.

The problem is there's too much fanboyism over Star Wars that anything that they would of made, would of divided audiences. I loved t the Last Jedi, but even though people change over their lives, characters in movies are not allowed to change, they have to stay in stasis. The truth is fanboys wanted an updated version of the original trilogy, with all the same plot beats, basically the same movies. Abrams ruined it by caving to fan pressure as a result noone liked these movies.
