People need to understand that fanservice in and of itself is not a bad thing. When used well it can enhance a story that already has a solid foundation. Fanservice is bad when that is the only thing keeping a thing together.
The Rise of Skywalker (2019) social media impressions

How many banana peppers on a sandwich is too many for a movie?!
I will never understand fandom when they get so heavily involved in lore and marketing that they just cant accept that writers and studios will do anything to make a buck. If that means bringing back Rey, or something with "skywalker" or whatever, they will do it. End of discussion.

Many will like it simply out of spite for people that liked TLJ, if the latter generally do end up disliking ROS. Feelings about TLJ mirror political polarization, that way.
Unless you are very ill or have something drastic planned, it won't be the last time.
Additionally I think the review embargo still being up means they have to get a little creative with their thoughts before being direct.
Omg when I went to bed this was 9 pages and it's not even out yet, wild.Surely that bodes well 😅😅😅
I'd say Yoda's appearance in TLJ was a good example of fanservice done well, but I'm afraid it would derail the thread...
Going on discussions from the leak threads, not even TLJ critics are going to be thrilled with this
Yes. If Avengers Endgame was 3 hours of the third act, you'd see similar reactions
It will be for this specific story, there's so much ending here. Hell, this movie will be the last John Williams score, maybe ever.
For real. Is it like a competition who can create the stupidest one in a single tweet.
All film is subjective I don't really listen to critics or fans. I know people do but really you shouldn't. Just go see the movie if you want and make you judgement.
You've just described Rogue 1.
Anyway i agree. Fanservice isn't bad if there is a real movie behind and the execution is great.
People in the spoiler thread (aka most everyone who dislikes TLJ) have been shitting on this film for months now.
Paying to see a movie to spite another movie made by the same studio.
Meanwhile at Disney:
At this rate it doesn't sound like either them or the Knights of Rian will be very happy.
I just remember being immensely confused driving home after TLJ, and as it started to set with me. I basically always said I would await the last one to see what their plan was. But alas, no plan. It seems like it does end the "Skywalker saga" but by killing it intentionally over 3 movies.
It's...almost like opinions aren't some all-catch thing which apply across all media like a blanket regardless of context. Your black-and-white comment totally disregards both context and execution.
Well JJ did literally say that her character and Kelly were the best things that Rian did. With Rose apparently being the best thing about TLJ I would expect him to do something with her.
Yep. I never agreed with most critics anyways from games to movies.
I understand all of that.
The point is Luke going out by inspiring people to fight as opposed to inspiring people to the light is a big downgrade to the character and a bummer.
Yea I'm not even trying to be a dick but those types of reactions are just... wow to me, and I am 100% a "crier" if something touches me.I often forget how wrapped up some people are in SW above all else ( I'll never understand it ), the fan service nostalgia JJ is serving must be off the charts
true enough about the music but the rest ehhh I don't buy it
These at worst sound like C level scores, which I think are still positive on RT.
A C score can be positive or negative depending on the critic on RT so take that as you will.

Meanwhile at Disney:
yeah i am sure Disney loves a potentially rotten score and grosses similar or less to TLJ(the movie is projected to open less than TLJ) to one of their most valuable IPs,i am sure they are ecstatic
