I saw TLJ a couple of weeks ago, and... well, I was more annoyed than entertained. The opening "brass blare" + text crawl is still thrilling, but the SW formula no longer entertains me. Rogue One was a refreshing and exciting departure, but TLJ returns to the dull formula.

I remain optimistic about Rian Johnson's career, though; Looper is terrific. I hope he spends his fat Star Wars paycheque *experimentally*.
