So when people get so frustrated that the story doesn't make sense, there's abrupt color changes, characters acting out of character etc.. they're not aware of the rules of the game.

have an archetype, and their actions dont together belong to any archetype. e.g. rose, she’s a maintenance worker but by the end is piloting in the battle.

OT=very basic. Then Episode One starts all riffing on the OT. You want Vader to have an axe to grind, an easy reason for him to become evil. But it's actually much more complex.

guess thats what I'm getting at. more interesting to see the backstory than yet another basic good vs evil. is OT an acronym?

yeah OT - Original Trilogy
So for the ST a lot of people judge it based on the OT and wish the PT never happened. That's like reading LOTR and just leaving out Two Towers cuz feelingzz

Rose is flying by the end because she's found her "why"(protect the people you love) so she can bear any "how"(flying into battle).

i guess, it's 'poetic' (might be what you mean by jazz like)

Rose's motivation is her sister. She idolizes her bravery and wishes she too could be come a "resistance hero". She realizes by the end that blowing up ppl you hate is endless futility

"I'm a person and my name is Anakin" is the third-wall-break you're looking for here. It's a lot like a jazz tune. OT is just the "head". A basic statement of the melody.

Part of it is the believability though. Obi Wan as a space wizard is believable because he acts like an archetypical wizard. Some of the characters in the new ones dont feel like they

I can handle color changes or symbolism with color, but I can't follow characters with conflicting personal philosophies. VII: beautiful movie though. should watch it on mute, lol jk.
