Rather fitting isn't it?So apparently the new EU has the Dianoga in ANH be sentient and some kind of Force shaman. And when it dragged Luke under the water in the trash compactor? It was giving him a Force baptism.
Waru has nothing on this.

I remember watching a review of M. Night Shyamalan movie After Earth, and in that video the reviewer goes into why someone like Shyamalan continued to have a career making movies, even though at the time it seemed like he destroyed everything he touched. Put simply, Hollywood is a cowardly creature of habit. They will almost always stick with what they already know, even if odds are it will likely fail, instead of risk trying something different. They're like lemmings in a sense; or at least, what we used to think lemmings were actually like.Can we just call JJ Abrams the new M. Night Shyamalan at this point? He made a few hits that seemed great but it soon became apparent that he was utter shit and essentially a complete fraud?
Incestous Hollywood? I'm starting to realise that after TLJ.I remember watching a review of M.

Something feels wrong... It never budged? I've never seen this for any movie before. There's a SHITLOAD of money riding on this. And we can't calculate the score ourselves. It's all in the back-end. I've been using RottenTomatoes for around a decade and put at least 1000 reviews in.
Edit:
I will keep updating with new archive links and keep an eye on this.
Edit 2:
In the comments, /u/deathdealer351 pointed out that the Fandango's CEO, the owner of RottenTomatoes, is a former Disney Exec that's worked there for 16 years. It's more than possible he's helping Disney out for damage control.
Unfortunately, he made Lost; and that will always make Hollywood believe he can churn out a profitable product, despite what any of us might think of said show.JJ Abrams has a niche: brain-dead action flicks. He can do those very well. The problem is that Starwars is not a brain-dead action flick. Star wars is an epic, it has a story-arch that speaks to core archetypes of human experience, and it is that deep story-arch that allows us to forgive the sometimes flawed presentation.
Anyone who still believes that Rotten Tomatoes isn't manipulating the results on behalf of corporate entities is an ignorant fool. We've known for quite a while that they do this.
This is most likely confirmed now as the Metacritic scores are substantially lower. The verified users for the most part also lack real profile pictures and look suspiciously like bots. Disney likely thinks that the inverse of the RT scores of TLJ will make it seem better. Audiences hated TLJ while critics loved it, and now critics are trashing TROS while the Audience score is perpetually stuck at 86%.Unfortunately, he made Lost; and that will always make Hollywood believe he can churn out a profitable product, despite what any of us might think of said show.

Let's hope it's not directed by Rian Johnson, defiler of all that is good and pure.The Mandalorian is the *true* sequel. Honestly, the finale had me out of my chair cheering at times, and was truly worthy of Star Wars.
I can't wait for season 2!
