Star Wars: The Last Jedi often conflates the Resistance with the original Star Wars trilogy’s Rebellion, and while this is a relatively minor issue, it speaks to the film’s broader faults and those of the sequel trilogy writ large. The Star Wars sequel trilogy films are notoriously divisive, even by the franchise’s usual standards, with The Last Jedi causing the most controversy of the three. While some argue the film’s merits, it is clear, in ways small and large, that the film simply does not understand its predecessors or the universe it inhabits, hence its plethora of problematic decisions.
