Yep, tis Mustafar.

Apparently the cult there decided to start planting trees in an attempt to terraform the place. Also, current SW writers really like Mustafar for some reason.

After some time to digest, I think I definitely prefer TLJ over ROS.
Not only do I find it narratively far more interesting and enjoyable, it also feels more cohesive, whereas ROS seems more mashed together.

I guess it depends what you value. I'm obsessed with well-rounded characters and good character development, which means I far and away prefer RoS. But if you're more interested in the plot as a whole, I suppose I could see how you might like TLJ better in the sense that the plotline is more cohesive there. Personally I would also take an interesting plotline with holes (RoS) over a boring plot that's better executed (TLJ).

So I'm taking RoS either way, but I can see what you're saying. You're just wrong is all :P

These opinions are an objective cinematic failure because i said so based on my own subjective opinions.

Guys, guys. There’s a way to settle this objectively.

Let’s just let some YouTubers and their longer than the movie reviews tell us what to think.

To be honest I am hoping Plinkett actually does a review and cares about doing it this time so I can have an opinion about the movie.
I like being told what my opinion should be.

So how are the Marvel Star Wars comics doing? I heard that the Vader comics are good along with the Dr. Aphra comics.

I haven't heard that but the comics are good, I find that the Vader comic is the best, followed by Dr. Aphra and then the Luke and friends one.
