Star Wars Sequels: Worth the Watch? (lemmy.ml)

The original and prequel trilogies are worthwhile viewing. The sequel trilogy, however, presents a different case. While George Lucas provided story treatments during the 2012 sale, these were ultimately discarded. The sequels also marked the end of the Expanded Universe, removed from canon to allow creative freedom for filmmakers. Given that the stories deviate significantly from Lucas’s original vision, is there really a compelling reason to watch them?

The Last Jedi is legitimately a very good movie.

The Force Awakens is fine, but dull and mostly forgettable.

The Rise of Skywalker is just bad.

The Last Jedi is good in a vacuum but in the context of the greater story just doesn't make sense.

Also the whole casino planet plotline is not great.
