in other news, the rise of the resistance at disneyland might be the best amusement ride i've ever been on.
I laughed at the building a foundation for new stories comment. He literally recycled Episode 4 and 6. I excused 7, because I figured he finally got all the original trilogy baggage out of the way, but went right back to the well. The only reason he's remembered pseudo fondly is because Rian thought a compelling story was Speed in space, and actively made decision to piss off his audience, all while brushing aside criticism as masogonistic.
I've ridden it several times. It's a cool ride, walking into the star destroyer is still awesome, but I prefer thrill rides and roller coasters.
