    I didn't like TLJ, but it had some really interesting ideas, enough that I wish Rian had been given the whole trilogy.

    I just don't think deconstruction of a series' central themes works 8/9ths of the way through that series. There's no time for the reconstruction and synthesis.

        Finn got fucking shafted. Most interesting character setup ever. TLJ should have been 85 percent Rey talking with luke and 15% Finn having PTSD.

          Yeah it could have been great, Finn and Rose could have bonded over shared trauma during TLJ rather than some ham-fisted "war is actually bad" plot.

          A former child-soldier brainwashed into being a storm trooper, and a civilian mechanic who lost her family to the war could have been an interesting dynamic.

      I also don't think it's a good thing in Star Wars. It's a universe where there's a literal "good guys vs bad guys" energy running throughout the entire universe. It would be like suddenly deconstructing the orcs and goblins motivations halfway through LOTR: Return of the King
