Will the Star Wars Sequels Improve with Time?

yeah, it feels like the star wars sequels are just a lot more… shallow than the prequels. nothing left to chew on or think about after you watch them (except probably the last jedi) 😭

I remember coming out of the theater after seeing the last Jedi thinking it was pretty enjoyable, flawed for sure, but still enjoyable. Imagine my surprise when I saw the reaction online and the reviews. I think one of the biggest mistakes was not making Finn the central character from the beginning and tbh I don't think the third movie gave any more justice to his character than the 2nd. It's been a long time since I've seen rise of skywalker (Imo that is the true abomination of the franchise) but besides confirming that he was force sensitive, what I remember most regarding Finn was the running joke of him always trying to tell Rey something, but never getting the chance to do so. Overall I've never felt the desire to rewatch the sequel trilogy, while I have watched the prequel trilogy a few times. Admittedly part of it is because phantom menace and the prequels as a whole were my introduction to star wars so I have a soft spot for the films and if nothing else, they are definitely more quotable than the sequels.

my bestie is a sequel apologist (at least... 7 + 8) while i am a prequel apologist. i am right there with you re: the sequels just felt so less focused on what they were trying to say as like a story. they just never wanted to lean on any one strong issue and (for me) it just ended up all feeling like a sterilized 4 - 6. Same broad strokes re: plot but without anything deeper than that. What i love about 1 - 3 is how it is different they are from 4 - 6 in a sense of story. I love the political intrigue, the forces working in the background, the slow creep of fascism and the tragedy of padme and anakin and everyone else. and i love that in contrast to the original trilogy hero's journey. my main issue with the sequels is and always will be the lack of reason/motivation behind the new order (also sourcing lindsay's vid) aside from like. evil (TM). as such my "rewrite" ive always had in my head has been a merging of the sequel cast into mandalorian plot (disclaimer i only saw like 1.5 seasons of that show). and having that be the sequel. navigating the growing pains of a new republic (esp in the outer rim planets), dealing with the power vacuum left by the crumbling empire, and the pros/cons that would come with re-establishing the jedi order. also i just would want the sequel cast going on more adventures and bonding lol.

Have you seen Andor? It's very, very good

So I feel like I’m one of the people that can’t enjoy The Last Jedi because of its treatment of Finn despite it being a well shot film with some good qualities. There were moments in the Force Awakens where I felt uncomfortable with his portrayal. He wasn’t allowed enough serious competent moments and was often the comic relief instead of a hero you could look up to and respect. There was a lack of interiority there that rubbed me the wrong way. But the Last Jedi makes it worse by putting him in a side narrative that feels unimportant and tedious. The real story is with Rey, Kylo and Luke (the white characters) and he’s not part of that story. Meanwhile, he’s still the butt of every joke, he’s not a Jedi, and he’s in the most skippable plot line of the film. For whatever problems I had in the Force Awakens, I feel like he was demoted in the Last Jedi to a nothing part. It was so devastating when I saw it, so I never saw Rise of Skywalker in theaters. I feel like Star Wars has fumbled the bag with so many actors of color, particularly black actors, in project after project. They’re always the victims of such virulent hatred from the fandom for daring to show their face, and the writing is always mediocre (except Andor). I can’t explain how much it upsets me.
