Almost six months removed from TLJ, I've come to realize the subtle, ahem, "genius" of the film; some people enjoyed it. and are able to be engaged enough with it to break down scenes and character motivations, etc., and see it as an integral part of the Star Wars family. And yet I, however, have come to realize that if I pretend the movie never existed, VII will still dovetail perfectly into IX. Absolutely nothing was advanced for me in terms of character development, and wherever they are/whatever the characters are doing in terms of current status - and recent history - will be taken care of in the crawl, anyway, so...yeah.
That's not easy to do - make a film so polarizing, and yet still appease both camps on opposite ends of the spectrum.
So my conundrum now, is do I watch the rest of some guy's four-part YouTube "Reimagining" of TLJ using stills from the film (I've only seen part one, and I enjoyed it), or do I honor my dismissal of everything TLJ-related? Decisions, decisions...
