    The problem isn’t female leads, it’ trash-tier writing.

    Worst part about the sequels was the compulsive need to regurgitate elements of the prior series.

    • Empire is back, kids!
    • Death Star Plus
    • And we’re back on Tantoine again
    • Harrison Ford again
    • Getting killed by Discount Darth Vader to buy time to escape the Knock Off Death Star
    • Only a direct hit on the main loud farting sounds

    There’s so much lore from the books and the games and the toys and the cutting room floor of the original movies. And they had a ton of good ideas at the outset. A storm trooper who defects? A six foot tall super trooper in mirror armor? A Sith Lord who isn’t stoic and morose, but hot headed and self-destructive? These are cool good ideas!

    Shame they got drowned out in Disney fueled nostalgia.
