Completely agree except you forgot Rogue One.

Also, the Han Solo movie was OK.

Prequels were bad, sequels were worse. Mandalorian was good but ended meh. Ahsoka looks promising.

Pencils. The ones where you need a pencil sharpener to sharpen them every so often. Mechanical pencils just aren’t the same.

Thank you for the article OP.

While this doesn’t surprise me, I can’t help but wonder how many other parallel situations there are where an industry of many separate entities distort, hide and otherwise lie to the public to maintain the publicly harmful gravy train.
