    That’s part of it for sure. It’s grimdark. Read: boring.

    Forever locked in a Jedi vs Sith binary. And it is the highest of heresy to dare imagine anything beyond it.

      How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That’s just a wild criticism.

      And the game you’re talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it’s entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.

      The worst bit is reflecting on how the first movie portrayed it all.

      A horrific empire, but a secret mysterious force, not believed in by many, that can help you fight it. Classic warriors using heavy swords in an age of laser rifles.

      I don’t even really know what the message around the force was in The Last Jedi. I didn’t even bother watching Force Awakens.
