I get that it’s past the Skywalker saga and they’re literally wanting “A New Beginning”, but that is the most flaccid, uninspiring title I’ve ever seen. Even “Attack of the Clones” seems a step above this.

The Jedi Order has failed twice now. Each time those failures produced a person so powerful that it enslaved the galaxy. Maybe don't do that again.

Title crawl:

A NEW BEGINNING

After Palpatine returning, somehow, and being defeated, the NEW NEW REPUBLIC is established. But not much has changed, because not enough time has passed.

Anyway, REY, along with a redeemed BEN SOLO, have become the sole JEDI MASTERS of the entire galaxy and decided that the time was ripe to begin training a new generation of JEDI

Among the first pupils, the young TALTAPINE shows great promise, but dark clouds loom over the JEDI once more...

Do they have Ridley on contract still? I am legitimately surprised she's still interested in anchoring the franchise in some way. I could not imagine enduring the last decade's worth of fan toxicity and coming back for more.

Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in my life. I really want to be excited about this. Really badly. But I'm just not. The title is awful, the last movie is awful. I'm not going to stop loving the Star Wars that exists, and every once in a while they have a happy surprise like Andor, but my excitement for new stuff is dead.

The people making Star Wars movies today don't understand the things that make it unique from everything else, so they make it garbage.

Call me a heretic, but I think last Jedi was the best of the 3 if you separate it from the star wars universe. TFA was just a meh rehash of the original, and ROS was a dumpster fire.
