>The last jedi was actually the best one fuck everyone
Last Jedi had interesting ideas for the direction to take Star Wars.
>conflict between the First Order and Resistance is a tiny petty squabble in the grand scheme of the galaxy
>rich warmongers just like making money from arms sales
>Light Side and Dark Side are artificial labels borne of religious dogma
>the two powerful special people decide they should stop being used by everyone and go do their own thing
But Disney wasn't ready to take even a single risk so they asked JJ to undo everything potentially interesting and bring back Palpatine for nostalgia. You can see it happening in real time at the end of Last Jedi, when Kylo offers Rey that deal you can feel the Disney execs stepping in and saying "NO! MAKE IT MORE FORMULAIC!" and then the whole ending is just standard Star Wars fare after that.
