Rotten Tomatoes Still Has Hollywood in Its Grip

The general audience does not care about any of that though. Star Wars is beyond ridiculous in the first place - I mean how does "light-sabers" make any sense? What matters to the general audience is there are relatable characters doing cool stuff which feels plausible in the moment. The space ramming was cool and emotionally satisfying, so it works.

For most of the audience, if they know Luke at all, it is as the whiny kid with the bad haircut from the old movies. So its fun to see him as old and grumpy. They do not care if he is some kind of space-Jesus in the expanded universe or whatever.

A "deep betrayal to the universe" of Slave Leia, Jar-Jar Binks, C3PO?

Jar jar was also a low point, and the biggest crime is that the big bad villain of the sequel trilogy wasn't Darth Darth binks
