they are literally the original trilogy told again. despite their super weapon being destroyed, twice and their fleet being destroyed, they suddenly have a new upgraded superweapon (that does the same thing, but more bigly) and an even bigger fleet, and the big baddie is literally a clone of the old baddie, and the conflict is saving the antagonist (Vader/Kylo) from the big bad and making them an ally.
I cannot even articulate how little I gave a fuck when I realized there was absolutely nothing new going on. no new villain, no new stakes, no new strategy.
I thought it would have some new perspective or context, but no it was just luke hiding on an island because he was a shit teacher until he’s convinced to stop whining and do his job.
the sequels were some dumb, story wise.
