Star Wars Stand Alone Films

I think that's my issue with it. I have no problem with Luke rejecting the lightsaber. But him tossing it over his shoulder like that, then seeing the porgs messing around with it turned what could have been a really powerful moment into a gag.

Again, I actually have very little issue with what Johnson was trying to do thematically in this movie. I actually really like a lot of it conceptually. But the execution isn't there. The moments don't feel earned. The tone is inconsistent.

Agree 100%. I think there were little things that I would consider lack of attention to detail that cheapens TLJ. I liked a lot of what the movie brought to the table, but the Luke toss and later his death and Leia's 'Mary Poppins' scene left much to be desired and really cheapened the overall product. TLJ could have been a pretty spectacular movie, but they missed the mark. Which sucks. I love everything Star Wars, so it's disappointing that we're seeing the series flounder a bit.
