Star Wars fans spent Thanksgiving arguing about ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ again

Here we go again

Look. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day that we talk about what we’re thankful for. We’re supposed to spend time talking about all of the good in our lives.

That’s why I’m so confused as to why there are actual people on the internet actually discussing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. 

For those of you who may be out of the loop, that is the latest Star Wars film to release and the last film of the latest trilogy. And, uh, it was pretty bad. There were plot holes everywhere. I won’t get into them. Not because I don’t want to spoil this for you, but just because it was that bad. I refuse to spend time upsetting myself on such a glorious Thanksgiving day with a full belly.

Anyway, not only were they talking about it. Some of them were actually calling it the best Star Wars film ever. Like, seriously.

Now, look. There is a legitimate argument to make about the cinematography in the movie. It was fantastic. But it should’ve been fantastic — it’s Star Wars.

That wasn’t the issue with the film — or the entire trilogy. The movies just aren’t really cohesive at all. They make no sense. Like, how do we still not know anything about Rey’s parents? Where did the random love interest between her and Kylo Ren come from? Why wasn’t Jar Jar Binks the movie’s…you know what, let’s not go there today. Just know there are real valid criticisms about this film.

Which is why the rest of us were so confused. Here’s me, being confused, by the way.

And here’s everyone else, just as confused.

Others were (correctly) pointing out that Rogue One should be recognized as one of the best Star Wars movies of all-time. Especially that Vader scene. You know the one.

Ah, finally. Someone making sense.
