It just isnt. Its not even in that conversation. It was disappointing and meandering but it wasnt complete dogcrap.
It just wasnt. It was not that bad and you're being hyperbolic for effect.
Hey, I wasnt a big fan of the film, but if I was forced to watch it again at gunpoint they wouldnt have to use toothpicks to force my eyes open.
The prequels however.....if they forced my eyes open with toothpicks I'd still try and shut them....consequences be damned.

The prequels are 15-20 years old! Of course they haven't aged well. Heck outside of the Empire Strikes back none of the Star Wars movies have aged well. Nobody hated those movies upon release as much then as they did TLJ and none of them drove movie viewers away. Episodes 1, 2, 3 were varying degrees of mediocre/bad but they never sunk the franchise. TLJ is the first movie that's may have irreparably damaged the franchise and that's because it's a really, really bad movie. I'm not alone on this as there's hundreds of websites that feel TLJ has killed Star Wars. It was that bad. It fully deserves a spot in my personal list of all time worst movies such as Armageddon, Transformers, Battlefield Earth, Spiderman 3, etc.
My kids and their friends no longer want to watch Star Wars movies after TLJ. This should be terrifying for Disney.
