There was criticism of TFA at the time, in particular I recall several complaints about Rey being able to defeat a trained Jedi in single combat. Nothing like the reaction to TLJ of course, but it was loud enough.

On TLJ - I feel your post is proving my point, that online TLJ criticism has focussed on identity politics. I've criticised Rian Johnson for junking a bunch of stuff from the first movie, and Kathleen Kennedy for not keeping more control in overseeing a planned trilogy. But from your post, that criticism changes to focus on your political and social agenda, especially with the language you choose to use. Just because you're reacting to what you perceive as the movie's agenda, doesn't mean you don't have one of your own.

i suspected this was always the case but nice to see it empirically confirmed that Russia generated at least 50% of the RiJo/TLJ hate online bedbug eddie Dec 26, 11:07

I posted this study last year when it was released. You're right its nice to see the facts but the manbabies are gonna keep crying {nm} Moviesnob Dec 26, 11:27

Think of it like this - what would the debate over Star Wars would look like without external influence? RogerMore Dec 26, 15:26

SW in general, or RTJ in particular? shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 16:32

SW since TFA. There has been plenty of messing with SW lore, bad characters and missed opportunities in these movies too RogerMore Dec 26, 17:14

External to what? Has Star Wars never been shown in Russia? {nm} DTravel Dec 26, 17:03

People who have a political or social agenda beyond whether they like or dislike a movie, especially if they don’t care about the movie in RogerMore Dec 26, 17:31

That hasn't been the case with movies ever. Reactions to them have always been colored by the current social hot buttons. DTravel Dec 26, 20:09

I think there’s a distinction between people who want to discuss their reactions to the movie and people who want to blow things out o RogerMore Dec 26, 20:42

No -- the reaction is TOWARDS the agenda reflected in the movie shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 23:27
