Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable? (www.theguardian.com)

The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

Watched 30 mins of it and bailed

Did they all feel almost lifeless to you? I couldn’t ever get over how lifeless the first two felt and just figured the third would end up being like that too. Just like it was all just visual fodder for me to stare at for a couple hours and the story was so generic that my brain just said “nah fuck that” and rejected it

The story just in those first scenes is so strangely non sensible that we just agreed we didn't care about it at all
