Star Wars: Episode IX

I feel the most for Hamill out of everyone. He's such a nice guy that he's repeatedly retracted negative comments in an attempt to damage control, but you can tell he's still hurt as a fan.

I'm more or less over the entire franchise. All of the "what-ifs" and "what-could-have-beens" hack away at any saving grace the sequel trilogy may have had in the first place. In the end, I'm just burned out and bummed out. Star Wars was such an integral part of my childhood that I thought could never steer me in the wrong direction. I grew up in the "movieless" era from 2007-2012 too, but funnily enough, that's when the franchise was at it's peak. The Clone Wars was airing and drawing in new fans such as myself, the toys were being made at a high quality and rapid pace, and the movies themselves were being solidified as all-time-classics, even the prequels- regardless of how you feel about them- were becoming iconic.

Everything really did change when Disney bought the franchise in 2012. I wish I could go back.
