It was one of the best cirque du soleil moments in all of Star Wars.

One scene does not a good movie make.
I didn’t say it did. Just commenting on stip’s assertions that its best moments are merely “okay” and still below these new shitshows.

it's a great score but there is no emotional tension and just a bunch of overly choreographed flipping

I'd say it has tons of emotional tension. A lot of more than...well, you know the rest.
Screenrant is one small step above clickbait, but the Cinemascore/online poll disparity is interesting. I wonder if there is a story here. If the movie doesn't have the legs you'd exepct there probably isn't any smoke. If it does...

there may not be many questions - which is just fine. The OT never had any questions that carried over from movie to movie. . Nothing wrong with just telling a good story with worthwhile characters
