If you’re going to make TLJ then that needs to be the first film of this series. This is where the whole series goes wrong. I didn’t much like TLJ and it doesn’t hold up well to repeated viewings but it had some interesting ideas that could have worked if it was the first movie and had to more movies to flush out all those ideas.

You can almost watch TFA, TLJ, and RoS completely independent of each other and in any order and not miss much.
