George Lucas: "I ruined Star Wars; Ja Jar, Midi-chlorians, politics, emo-Anakin...no one can top that!"
Rian Johnson: "George , hold my beer!"

I thought, that there can't be anything worse than the prequels... I was wrong, so wrong!

IMO the weakest aspect of EpIII is the wrap up, need to get everything tied up in a neat bow so we can move into A New Hope. That and the ''high ground''... And really, the "fall" of Anakin from noble hero to murderous villain is too fast to get invested in. Sure, he's kind of callous for a heroic ...

The quote that really gets me is at the very end regarding time. Like "What was George supposed to do? Stop time itself?" No. What he was supposed to do was anticipate the passage of time (moving at the exact same rate it always moves) BEFORE he ran out of it. Maybe if he'd brought that other write...

You think if Beyond is more Treky it would have sold better? How is DS9 so much different than, let's say "The Undiscovered Country"? Whether or not "Beyond"...

Tell me one thing; WHY CALL THIS THING A STAR TREK? If you change so much, then you could just make a new franchise! Why bother with "Star Trek" licence in the first place? Of course I'm talking about other reasons than just wanting to milk the fans... Didn't DS 9 and TNG change a lot of things? So...

YES!
