Beautiful cinematography all wasted on two hours on the altar of 'subverted expectations'.
Might have worked as a standalone with previously unknown characters where your expectations are based on the roles of the character (Jedi, captain, rebel leader, etc) but gutting the main characters for a bunch of poorly setup gotchas? Trash
Star Wars is absolutely the last thing where I want my expectations to be subverted. A huge part of the appeal is that I know exactly what I'm going to get.
tfw I will never know if episode 9 was worse than Into Darkness, because having seen Into Darkness spared me any curiosity I could have had about episode 9
9 is hilarious because it's genuinely what if you let a 6 year old take over a major film franchise. It is beyond shit and if anyone says it's good they're just objectively wrong unlike how I think 8 breaks the spirit of star wars.
They hunt for a macguffin to lead them to a macguffin that holds a macguffin that leads them to the big bad at one point. It's hilariously awful
