    I believe it has jumped the shark. And I feel it had done so with "The Force Awakens".

    Yes, TLJ definitely jumped the shark. If not Leia's resurrection/flying through space, then definitely Homicidal Luke was unequivocally Jumping the Shark.
    TLJ was a very poorly structured and poorly told story with terrible character development at best and inconsistent characters at worst (Homicidal Luke).
    TLJ lost me. I am checking out of the Shark-Jumped-Star-Wars universe.

    Fans used to discuss the essence of Star Wars and what could happen next. Now fans argue over why TLJ did or did not suck and discuss what should have happened. To add insult to injury the daily Rian Johnson explanations for TLJ emphasize the sad state of the Star Wars Universe. His poor explanations made me realize he didn't care about the Star Wars Universe.

    Rian Johnson and the person responsible for supervising his work should be fired.

    Yes, I am checking out of the Shark-Jumped-Star-Wars universe.
    I am becoming one with The True Force (pre-TLJ) thus more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
    (The TLJ-lovers who love my leaving do not understand). ​

    - I still watch Happy Days reruns & I will keep rewatching Episodes 1-7 & RO.
    - I will "splurge" and see Episode 9 on $5 Tuesdays.
    - I will not buy a copy of TLJ on video (I've gladly bought numerous copies of all previous movies.)
    - I will not buy any more Star Wars merchandise (with the exception of a Despecialized HD version of the Original Trilogy).
    - I may check in The Cantina again one day.


    Before I say "Farewell"...
    • To Rian Johnson, I say, paraphrasing my words from the grave to Anakin, "Rian! RIAN! NOOOO!" AND I give you the same words of wisdom given to Jar Jar Binks "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here."
    • To JJ Abrams, I say, "May The Force be with you" as you attempt to bring balance... hell, as you try to restore The Force to the Star Wars Universe. Remember Luke's words "It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than 2 meters." Yes, Rian Johnson is about 2 meters.
    • To The Cantina, I say, thank you. I may check in The Cantina again one day but as a classic Force Ghost.
    I, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, shall now become one with The True Force... The Force that prohibited Force Ghosts from beating Luke "Drunk on SeaCreature Milk" Skywalker on the head with a stick.

    Farewell
    MJ QGJ
