          3 10-cent commemorative coins would have gotten 3 fanboys who know Star Wars front to back to write a lore-loyal exciting adventure involving potentially new force powers, cool new characters, and a coherent plot.

          And yet, we got the drool dribbling out of the mouths of Disney executives at the thought of all the money they made.

            It’s like how the fan star trek movies are better than most the recent trek stuff but everyone throws their money at the corporations and doesn’t even watch the fans ones when they’re free.

            People are to blame for media being as low grade as it is, every idiot that signs up to Disney channel and watches the most soulless drivel ever made is shaping our society to have more of the same

      Palpatine = Fascism.

      Palpatine returned = Fascism returned.

      The word Fascism was coined be Mussolini because it was a reference to the Roman Empire. Fascism is often about restoring past Empires.

      Luke tried (and succeeded) to bring his father back from the dark side.

      Rey does not attempt to ring her grandfather back from the dark side. Why not? because he’s dead. You can redeem your family but you can’t redeem your ancestors because they’re dead. You also can’t confront your ancestors, but science fiction allows characters to do things that aren’t possible to do in the real world.

      Rey confronts her evil ancestor and rejects him. Takes on a different name, She understands her ancestor doesn’t define who she is.

      Children in school right now learning about what their evil ancestors did, what should they do? Take their side? Or realize like Rey did that they don’t have to identify with what their ancestors did. You can identify with the good people from the past even if you aren’t related to them.

      Fascism relies on wanting the things that your ancestors had. Reject that idea and you reject fascism.

      Also if you’ve ever seen a statue of some evil dude being removed, you will see a reproduction of an evil person that died a long time ago being moved around on a crane.

      The problem with RoS isn’t that it didn’t do anything interesting, it’s just it didn’t tell you that it was doing interesting things. So people would know what to post on twitter immediately after watching the movie.

      TLJ has the appearance of an interesting movie but actually did nothing. RoS tried to appear like a dumb action movie while actually doing interesting things.

      And I didn’t even go into the layer about the grieving process, but that’s obvious isn’t it? Movie starts with a guy literally denying death and ends on Chewie inheriting Hans’s medal and Rey burying the lightsabers. The Sequel Trilogy was about death after all, so it’s obvious the last movie had a layer about the grieving process… right? RIGHT?

        Those aren’t interesting premises. Those are the same, tired premises in a lot of current media.
