    It’s the same P R E S T I G E T V like treatment that Luke Skywalker got in Last Jedi. “Oh no, I sense the dark side, I am angry and afraid, and I am trying to murder someone in fear and anger… again! Character development only counts of it subverts expectations and undoes prior character development! Your Snoke Theory Sucks™!” smuglord

        It really is hard to express dislike for Disney Star Wars movies (especially TLJ for some reason) without that dislike being perceived as either pronouns or “clearly I am a stupid dumb person because I didn’t clap like a seal when my expections were subverted over and over.”

        The last Jedi was such a massive disappointment for me. Was actually looking forward to it. Thought they might actually take it into a new direction. It was instead one of the worst films I’ve ever watched.

        “Measure of a Man” and its legal precedent was completely eradicated because of a decades-late Space 9/11 rehash, all for some tiresome “robot people scary” Mass Effect bullshit that lead to Wish Dot Com Reapers threatening to come out of space glory holes.
