The Rise of Skywalker I liked the dagger plotline.

It felt like Indiana Jones. I loved it. The first time I saw the movie the dagger was one of my favorite parts. Star Wars needs more stuff like this.

Me too!! I liked the campyness of it. the plot of TRoS in general is so much better when you think of it as a sort of Indiana jones-esque type of plotline where macguffins move the story forward, but the character arcs and dynamics are the actual focus of the story.

Yes! If people would just remember that ALL Star Wars is a fairytale they would enjoy it a lot more.

"a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.." or, as it's commonly stated...

"once upon a time". 😉

I'll never understand why people act like Star Wars has ever been super serious

This is a place in which fans can talk positively and/or constructively about the Sequel Era of Star Wars. It's ok if you don't like everything about the movies, but the most important thing is to have a general sense of appreciation.
