thats it. They're still so seething about how it 'destroyed the canon' or whatever. Its got to be some of the most weird form of movie brain worms that they just hated that movie instead of Revenge of Skywalker or whatever it was called, which was one of the worst movies of all time.
I am not saying that that was good storytelling, but I bet you did not expect that, and in the end, that's what counts.
… is it though?
of course, the only thing that matters in making a good story is the subversion of expectations.
