I think this is a commentary on what modern technology has done to us. I loved the original star wars trilogy as a kid, but revisiting them now... Man do they drag on.

I hate that so much of our media has become this constant mess of distraction with constant flashy lights and a million cuts, but I think a lot of it has to do with competing with our pocket pacifiers for our attention. If you dare slow down for a moment to let your audience feel the weight of what's happening, half of them will be on there phones in seconds.

What's funny is, it's exactly those fast-cut-30-minute-final-action-scene-CG-shit-flying-everywhere movies that I find improved by being able to tune out and look at one's phone, in home viewing. Most of the Marvel movies are better at home where you can check out for multi-minute stretches to scroll the Interwebs, for instance.

Good movies become worse if you're distracted by your phone during them, and are also usually much more sedate.
