Wookieepedia says they have a 16 year age difference. In real life Mcgregor and Christensen have a 10 year gap so you were right for the actors. There is 18 years between Mcgregor and Jake Lloyd though so that's closer to the canon. (Also if you are interested I looked up some other actors too because I was curious Alec Guinness had 21 years between him and David Prowse, and 17 between him and James Earl Jones, and was 9 years younger than Sebastian Shaw. James Arnold Taylor is also 14 years older than Matt Lanter. That means, if i did my maths right, that the average age difference between Anakin and Obi Wan actors is about 11 years.)

This is how rise of skywalker should have ended. Instead of the reveal that Palpatine was alive, they should have revealed that Jar Jar had orchestrated everything. And then Jar Jar and Rey fight for the future of the sith/jedi!

_Indeed._

THANK YOU. We must be the only three people in the world who liked that movie. I saw it as a beautiful little transition piece in that trilogy: * Ep 7: rehash what we've already done. Literally make a point of calling out that we're doing the same thing as before. * Ep 8: go out of our way to take that legacy and toss it aside. Whole point of that movie was that we needed to move on. * Ep 9: use the freedom from the old plot lines to do whatever you want! It doesn't need to be tied to the OT, or even the Jedi / Sith at all! The Ep9 we got was the _opposite_ of that. They doubled down on "nah, let's rehash the greatest hits again". Because RoS reverses course like that, it really makes both TLJ and RoS feel pointless and out of place, and makes them both worse.

TLJ was more like fanfiction trolling than a SW movie.

Would have made a 3/10 movie a 4.5/10 so a 50% increase, I’d take it. God that movie was shit.

And let's not forget "Somehow Palpatine returned". No, not somehow. You tell me how, right goddamn now. He was thrown into the Death Star reactor core. If you don't explain how he survived that (or came back from the dead) then not only is that death meaningless, but also the one in ep9. Because if getting chucked into a reactor doesn't do the trick how can we be sure whatever Rey did will stick? Not to mention that it retroactively ruins Vader's redemption. He sacrificed himself to kill Palpatine. If he comes back that sacrifice means nothing. Utterly infuriating.

I disagree. TLJ felt like Empire Strikes Back in that it's trying to upend the status quo. TFA and RoS felt like JJ Abrams smashing a bunch of action figures together in his sandbox because he thinks it's cool.

Horror/fantasy. I have one that's urban fantasy set in prohibition (monsters and mobsters! Sorcerers and speakeasies!), one that's very cosmic horror/Bloodborne-esque, and my current WIP is The Mandalorian meets The VVitch. Nothing published yet, but I can always use more beta readers.

I didn't like TLJ as a Star Wars movie, but there is a lot I like about it as a movie in general. Your point about RoS and redemption though is a problem I had with TLJ, why didn't they just let Finn die and save the day (or at least stall the nu-empire)? It would have been a great character arc. Also letting Leia die in space. I respect showing her using the force, I think that's cool and definitely needed, but it also would have been a good story if she had died then, and would have better explained Ben's heightened emotions when 'facing' Luke. On that note, while I don't hate Rey like a lot of the fanbase seem to, I do wish she had died in Ep9. It would have been the perfect setup for Ben, a true test of his character. It's easy enough to change sides when you are being welcomed by someone, but would he stick to the path of light after those events? I wanted to see Ben having to face the republisistance with a dead Rey in his arms, trying to convince them that it wasn't his fault and that he was good now. I want to see him struggle down the path of making the right choices, even when everyone has turned their back on you or doesn't trust you (and rightfully so!). That would have been some good material for the background of another movie or two, not being allowed within the republisistance, but still trying to make a change in the galaxy for the better. How easy it would be to turn back to your old ways and take things by force, everyone is shunning you anyway right? But Star Wars has never really been too deep into character development, aside from as formulaic polt points (such as Han and Finn leaving in self preservation, coming back when needed the most etc). Afterall, it is a franchise about a farm-boy turned terrorist, defying all odds to kill thousands of government employees thanks to advice from a hallucination :p

RJ is as big a hack, sorry. TLJ is exactly as you described RoS. Don't get me wrong, the premise of TLJ was OK but delivery was no ESB.
