Yeah. The Marvel formula has really gone to include Star Wars as well. I still say they will share the same cinematic universe eventually.
The biggest difference is that Ragnarok actually made me like the way the character of Thor was handled, who's earlier two movies were some of the weaker in the MCU. Whilst TLJ made me hate the treatment of Luke, whose previous movies were great.

The R2-D2 moment, as well as the dialogue after the moment when Chewie kicked in the door to his hut.

All the characters use bathos for humour. It means that there is very little character. We've now seen rocket try to mess with hux from his x-wing and drax helped jyn erso infiltrate the imperial base in the Turks and Caicos

It's like he's mad that people didn't enjoy the movie and is trying to troll them.
His trilogy is gonna end up being three movies all about Luke dying in different ways......:lol

Yea you're both right so three parts Luke was the Luke we knew,it really does show that Hamill wasn't on board for this wreck.
The fact that Mark Hamill still makes his disagreements with Johnson vocal (even in a joking way) it's pretty obvious that he feels that Luke's arc was handled wrong.
I applaud him for not hiding his feelings on the matter. He knows the character better than anyone else and has lived with him for over 40 years. You'd think that Johnson would have really taken that into consideration when coming up with the story.
I hope JJ Abrams retconns Luke's story in 9 just to spite Rian. It seems that Johnson did it to him so why not return the favor? Make as many crappy sequels as you want but don't ruin the legacy of the OT characters.

This thread is mostly going over my head, but I just wanted to say that my friend (who like the theatrical cut more than I did) took my grievances and did his own edit of the movie which I just watched last night, and it tipped the scale back towards enjoyment. Most of the things that were removed were the misplaced comedy (not ALL of the comedy), the porgs beyond just being set dressing on Ach-to, and the Canto Bight sequence (which is the roughest part of the edit admittedly).
It made me see the merit of the strong parts of the film and I was happier for having watched it and enjoyed the moments that are pure Star Wars without the "wtf" moments that I had felt in the original run.

I honestly hope not. As disappointed I was with TLJ I don't want this to be a tug-of-war between egos and "my story! no, it's mine! no it's mine" kinda thing. I do think that Rian had a contrarian approach but the solution is not to be contrarian to that, it's JJ's job now to make the most out of it. And this is one of the reasons why I'm not really looking forward to Ep9. Even if it's stellar, it'll be built on something that I consider flawed in terms of motivations and consequences.
That was my first thought leaving the theatre. That a fan-edit could save the movie. Problem I have is that while most of the concepts I still think are pretty cool the execution, motivations and storytelling are impaired. Don't get me wrong it certainly would improve the film immensely if certain bits were edited out, but I still don't think it would make it a good one. I would love to see your friend's fan-edit though.
