The wondrous Scott Mendelson is back with more Star Wars columns. Apparently, during these times of no new movies, he is going to bring up The Last Jedi once a month. That is not only good for Scott Mendelson, but will give Channel Dad Bryon Lape something to read incorrectly for a Star Wars video.
Though many fans likes The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi completely split the fan base. Rian Johnson tied up, ended, reworked, and nearly completely destroyed all the handing threads J. J. Abrams left after episode 7. When it came to create The Rise of Skywalker, J. J. had to retcon so much of what Rian did. Many fans see it that way, but Scott Mendelson does not. For him, The Last Jedi did not retcon the Star Wars saga, but the Rise of Skywalker did. J. J. Abrams’ episode 9 was so bad it undid the entire Skywalker saga.
