I was excited for Jurassic World and left the theater feeling extremely underwhelmed and let down. I hope that I never have to leave the theater feeling that way after a Star Wars movie again. Even the "good" prequel movie (RotS) had enough face-palm moments (NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!) to make me leave the theater feeling disappointed. While they're certainly not perfect, The Force Awakens and Rogue One had me feeling like a kid again and grinning ear to ear. Here's hoping the next two films in the sequel trilogy are great and received by audiences even better than TFA. I'm not really sure what to expect from Rian Johnson, aside from the fact that he directed three episodes of Breaking Bad (one of my favorite TV shows of all time), including both the most polarizing episode ("Fly," which I had no problem with, personally) and the penultimate episode that's widely considered to be the best of the entire series ("Ozymandias"). Rian Johnson's resume makes me excited and hopeful, while Trevorrow's only made me worry that he'd fuck it up.
