TLJ is easily the best non-OT Star Wars movie.

Most of the whining about it is either shit people made up (Luke drinking milk directly from the alien’s udder and smiling erotically into the camera*), shit they didn’t take two seconds to even try to understand (like how the “Mary Poppins” effect is actually a realistic portrayal of how things move in zero-G vacuum, or how humans don’t just explode in space like they do in shitty B-movies**), or criticisms that could be equally leveled at basically any Star Wars movie (weird pacing, minor plot holes, inconsistent “rule of cool” logic for tech and magic***).

Once the typical reactionary fanboy-didn’t-get-exactly-what-he-expected dies down I think it’ll be recognized as one of the franchise’s higher points. TLJ’s worst sin is being situated between two JJ Abrams hack jobs.

*no I’m not making this up someone unironically described it to me this way with a straight face.

**not making this up either, people i’ve talked to legit seem to think one atmo of negative pressure turns the human body into a meat bomb or something.
