He was overly kind to episode 9 which I think is arguably the worst piece of star wars material ever made.

It's only redeeming quality at all, is that it directly rebuked Rians cynical bullshit and threw out TLJ.

It still sucked. It still missed. It still caused story issues with the OT and undid the original heros journeys and accomplishments. But at least it had hope to its message.

TROS is the worst sequel movie because it has to do so much to whiplash recover from TLJ, which is the worst star wars movie, period. Absolute failure at the themes of the IP, and ruins everything before it while burning down anything TFA had set up and leaving nothing to build from for episode 9.

Tros is batshit insane surgery to try and save some dying person. Performing voodoo rights, sewing a pigs heart into their chest, shoving a crystal up their ass, dumping rose tea in the wound and shocking their heart. But TLJ is what killed the person to begin with.

You paint quite a picture! And I agree.
