Religion and safety. They have to be surrounded by it and buying in is the only way the think they will stay on this side of the dirt.

Yes. These are all true facts that I have come to realize over several rewatches. I am not so sure it was that apparent in the first watch. And that’s where I take issue with the writing. Granted I still love the franchise. Great world building. Lots of fond memories. But I think the story could take a few things out and tweak some presentation and it would have been epic.

I have a hot take and think that 8 is the second best film of the 9. And that is as a film. How he told the stories and the character development. I also loved how Luke finished off Kylo Ren. But I know no one agrees with me on it. So don’t shoot me.

It still doesn’t explain WHY the blockade was happening. The horrible forced love scenes that made no sense. “I’m a senator!” As well as rolling around a hill of flowers. Not to mention the rest of all of the prequels and dealing with medichlorions as a medical fact rather than the mythos of force sensitive beings having measured for power. I still enjoy them, no doubt. But they got issues.
