Basically, this thread...
Soooo, in an attempt to potentially calm this discussion down and make it a little more civil, I don't disagree with the substance of that tweet, but it's purposely ignoring WHY people choose to label one "lesser" movie good and another bad.
In the case of TLJ and TROS, Abrams clearly made TROS, with all its warts and blemishes, from a place of respect for the source material and its fans.
Meanwhile, Johnson clearly made TLJ with the intention of disrespecting the source material and its fans. He purposely tried, and succeeded, in subverting and changing the course of fan's expectations and love of source material that goes back 42 years.
It's very simple...Abrams knew Star Wars was bigger than himself; Johnson made it about himself and his desires.
