I remember freaks getting bent out of shape over TLJ having an asian woman and a woman with pink hair. In a galaxy with aliens with squid tentacles for a face, an asian women just breaks my immersion.

Worse, the feeemale with pink hair bossed a man around! 
To be mildly fair her character was basically to be the Girlboss General (tm), and her entire plan was "drive straight until we run out of gas and then I dunno".
Fuck the chuds though. These movies sucked but because they were cheap slop, not because of WOMEN or something
She was terrible, especially her "I'm not telling you my plan for plot reasons and I'll be dismissive about your concerns and seem like I'm running what's left of the organization into the ground in a way that outright invites mutiny" approach to leadership. 
The usual hated her because she was in charge and had hair dye.

Yeah one of the worst executed characters Ive ever seen, like just comically hilarious levels of writing yourself into a corner for no reason

Unforgivable sin, kill her.
They got even more angry at her cos she crashed the space ship
Abrams has a habit of creating continuity holes that are so gaping and obscene that if they are taken seriously they ruin franchises both after and even before the continuity holes.
One example is magic transporter technology in Trek that makes spaceships kind of pointless if it's applied on a practical scale.
The other is "why have any kind of weapon except small objects equipped with hyperdrives?"
EDIT: I forgot, the weaponized hyperdrive thing was Rian Johnson's doing. Abrams just did "THE DEATH STAR, BUT BIGGER" and with one shot of it (and a flashback of a burning building) basically erased everything that the rebels (and Luke) had won in the previous trilogy.
The warp drive seems to be almost instantaneous in the Abrams Star Trek movies, too. In the second one, the Enterprise traveled from Klingon space to the outskirts of Earth in a matter of minutes. In Deep Space Nine, that journey took about ten days.
At that point you wonder why ships in the JJ-verse even need to have multiple crew shifts and sleeping arrangements, if they can zip to whatever planet they like in the time it takes to cook a Pop Tart.

That one isn't even on Abrams, that's all at Johnson's feet.
I'm a TLJ apologist but even I got taken out by how well the hyperspace ram worked. It immediately raised so many worldbuilding questions
Abrams' local bullshit contribution was "THE DEATH STAR, BUT BIGGER" and with one shot of it (and a flashback of a burning building) basically erased everything that the rebels (and Luke) had won in the previous trilogy.
I should have remembered that; yeah you're right, Abrams had nothing to do with that particular asspull.

I refuse to accept this whitewashing that the prequels were actually good. It should be a front half of a horse and then a complete clustefuck from then on out
Most of Star Wars is mid at best. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
spoiler
I still love this stupid franchise, though
It’s ok, I’ll still keep drinking that garbage
They were a mess but at least it was a quotable memeable mess.
The Disney Trilogy was full of forced meme attempts like "THEY FLY NOW!"

They were the first star wars movies I watched as a kid and I still love them
It does seem boomeriffic to dismiss the prequels entirely even if they were jank and silly for adults that watched them when they came out.
I highly doubt the Disney trilogy will have kids remember them that fondly, or at all.
if kids could be made nostalgic for the damn Phantom Menace, they can be made nostalgic for the sequel trilogy
At least Phantom Menace was trying to do something original and coherent. It's a shit execution, but there's a story in there that doesn't suck.
It also had podracing. There should be an entire movie or series that's just about the seedy podracing competitive scene.

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast.
That's the purple teal horse ass, right?
"The dead speak!" Was an unintentionally poetic summary of the necromantically uninspired bazinga nostalgia slop that Abrams bumblebucked out for the final Disney Trilogy movie. His first bazinga nostalgia slop portion was also necromantically uninspired but like with "LOST," he tricked people into thinking it was just the start of something amazing and not just a hype balloon that (of course) required destroying and invalidating everything that came before it because Abrams doesn't play well with others and likes to bash their stolen toys together until they break.
I maintain that if Rian Johnson had been allowed to finish the sequel trilogy, it would at least have been mid. The third film was so bad in so many ways it reached back in time and made the first two worse.
They probably could have handed it off to any of the slop directors in the Marvel stable and made a better movie than JJ Abrams.
any 1 filmaker would have made a better trilogy, literally any
The blue horse should have an immaculate dong out of nowhere for Rogue One and Andor
Okay but replace the butt with a CG horse butt and you've nailed it
Okay but replace the butt with a CG horse butt and you've nailed it
Ten thousand horse butts because more is always more epic!
Don't forget the lens flare!
OT should be a full regular horse, Prequels should be a really crappy hand drawn horse's ass, sequels look about right.
anyone know a good breadtube that debunks starwars?
"I don't like this thing, but its important to me that I have Correct Reasons to not like this thing, preferably articulated in someone else's 2 hour long video essay."
I don't mean to mock, I'm also like this, as a professional thing-not-liker.

Times like this, I really miss Natalie Wynn doing a two hour long, stunningly produced, long form historical break down of why its more like Star Bores.
Tabby was a comrade. 
Incredible how she recognized that her entire fan base liked and agreed with Tabby more than they liked our agreed with her actual opinions, and somehow that was not a clue that perhaps she should challenge some of her opinions.
