I really liked what TLJ tried to do, I just think it did it really poorly. For example the stuff on the casino planet was a very hamfisted allegory for the military industrial complex and war profiteers. That’s cool, though badly done. Rey’s parents being nobodies is great. But TROS throws every single thing set up by TLJ and throws it out immediately in exchange for the most insane bullshit imaginable, and it turns TLJ from a mediocre movie that provides a good setup for the next one to a shit movie.
I've already been arguing about TLJ today and the more I think about it the more I remember stupid stuff i.e. how they're on this low speed chase and people just like, leave, do stuff, come back, etc?? the empire's magic tracking tech ain't trackin' so hot. But most importantly it just felt weird and killed any feeling of suspense?
also the imperial fleet could have like, had 1-2 ships hyperspace in front of the rebel fleet, do a little skip jump ya know?
I keep thinking of the oj Simpson car chase which is weird because i wasn't old enough to even see it happen but it's like if that happened and they just let a passenger roll out, walk over to Wendy's for some baconators and shakes, and pop back inside after.
I guess their sensors couldn't detect their fighters, the same way they were blind to the shuttles, but it just felt weird and inconsistent with the action going on

All of that stuff suuuucked. Seriously how do you have a vehicle chase where people are leaving and coming back during the chase
