[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 507709, member: 8868"] I'm with you pretty much 100%, mate. Now the dust has settled my feelings towards TLJ and subsequent Ep9 are that of indifference. TLJ left us with such banal, poorly thought out characters and plot decisions that I don't care about where it goes. There was nothing in the plot or characters that makes me feel like I really want to know what happens next. And this isn't a case of anger at how things were depicted (Luke etc) in TLJ, I genuinely just don't care. For its faults, TFA set up some half decent characters in Poe and Finn for example, but both of which had their personalities and motivations altered beyond recognition in TLJ. I was interested enough to see where the story would go. The biggest mistake they have made with the sequel trilogy is a clear lack of story outline or roadmap for the trilogy, as well as handing the second chapter to a director who was clearly more concerned with creating the story he wanted, regardless of continuity, then a cohesive middle act of three parts. As a stand alone Rian's concept may not have been so vitally flawed. I have read that JJ passed an outline to Rian, but that Rian threw out nearly all of it in order to do his own thing. It certainly feels like that was the case after viewing TLJ. I won't be going to see Ep9. Not out of spite or "fanboy" anger, but because I have no motivation to want to see it. It's going to take some doing on JJ's part however to tie everything back together and I hope for the future of Star Wars he does a good job. [/QUOTE]
