The Empire Strikes Back is a hot mess of a movie. Try giving it the same critical eye you gave The Last Jedi and you'll see the turd your nostalgia has been polishing all these years. I did and I made to the end of Battle of Hoth before turning off the movie. If the internet had existed back then I doubt it would have been praised.
The trick is, we don't dislike TLJ because we nitpicked it to death. We nitpicked it to death because we didn't like it. Since ESB entertained us instead of insulted us, we didn't nitpick it to death.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

And even then, I'd love to hear exactly how Empire is "a hot mess", the reasoning behind that statement would undoubtedly be more entertaining than TLJ

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.
"Your society's broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No, lets blame the people with no power and no money and those immigrants who don't even have the vote. Yea, it must be their fething fault." - Iain M Banks

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

I would LOVE to hear more about your fragile ego that is insulted by a movie. Seriously? The MOVIE insulted you?

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
