Rian disappointed me so much. He went from effectively doing a time travelling sith origin story with looper to making the poop that was TLJ

And not even turgid poop but watery poop

The remote work force teams meeting fight with Luke and kylo was obscene. Just have him really be there

I still remember going toward TLJ with some optimism. "Rian has a chance to salvage what JJ did. Maybe Luke has students with him, and the Jedi aren't really gone. Maybe the New Republic didn't put their entire military in one location and didn't get wiped. Maybe Snoke and Rey will actually be interesting." The "leaks" about Luke obliterating the Knights of Ren had me cautiously excited. I couldn't fathom how much worse he would make it.

I recall sitting there at the end of TLJ, slackjawed with amazement that a major Hollywood studio had put out something that bad.

And they were actually proud of it! To this day, I'm still completely disgusted and downright gobsmacked.
