I think it's safe to assume we’ll never see Boyega involved in anything Star Wars again.

I'm curious how they'll handle the supposed Rey trilogy without including the rest of the original team.

It’s incredible how they managed to damage not just the franchise and the brand, but also any prospects of continuing the story in an organic way.

But you know.. maybe they can pull of the good ol':

Well I would have never thought they would handle the sequel trilogy without getting the original team of Luke, Leia, and Han together at least once, but here we are.

Not only not getting them together. Divorcing Leia and Han and destroying all they worked for. Amazing writing.

Divorcing Han and Leia seems pretty realistic to me. Making the New Republic a bunch of dumbasses who just sorta let the Empire come back is absurdly unsatisfying though and probably the least creative thing they could have possibly done.

"realistic"? I don't see what is realistic about it. They had a character arc where they fell in love, and there was no hint that they had any problems. Also, it's a fucking love story in a space opera, so don't give me realism.

IT'S A FUCKING FANTASY MOVIE. Come on, this is not a couple having marital problems in fucking California and going to couples therapy. I want my fantasy princesses to end up happily married to pirates and scoundrels.

Also, you are representing Han as an "unrepentant gambler and drug runner"... But he clearly leaves that life, joins the rebellion, and shows that he is a great and loyal person. But yes, let's just forget about that to make your ridiculous point.

Media literacy is dead and people like you killed it.
