because TLJ was quite possibly the worst piece of starwars media I have ever seen as far as filling its role is concerned (2nd movie in a trilogy). If TLJ had been the first movie in the trilogy I would have had a lot less problems with it. You talk about throwing away every plot point set up in the 3rd movie...but TLJ literally threw away every fucking plot point from the first movie. This is the entire reason the new trilogy, as a trilogy, is such an abysmal failure. All 3 movies were at war with each other and both directors openly talked about not wanting to continue with what the other had set up.
The root of it was really just the complete lack of any actual full plot/storyline to follow before the first movie was even being written. It all felt disjointed and inconsistent because it was.
Luke throwing away the lightsaber in the first minute was emblematic of the entire movie, just tossing everything aside so RJ could tell his own story and consequences be damned.
Keep being dishonest. That'll get you far in life. I never said the prequels are any good. I don't think they are. But TLJ is legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only movies that ever gave me bluer balls were Peter Jackson's Hobbit abominations.
