The middle mathematical group are those who place all installments of the Skywalker saga 7/10 or above and revel each motion picture . As one might expect , the final batch are the fans who have a potent disfavor forThe Last Jedi , giving that cinema a median score of 2/10 . TLJ Disowners love the original trilogy , are flukey on the prequels , and are"torn over The Force Awakens . "

Givenhow much of a lightning rodThe Last Jediwas , it is n’t surprising that it got its own category . A number of Rian Johnson ’s originative choices proved to be highly divisive and upset longtime fans . The debates bear on to this dayand in all probability wo n’t really be settled until afterEpisode IXdebuts and witness have see the entire subsequence trilogy . It ’s also worth mentioning that 5,330 citizenry participated in the survey , which is a decent sample distribution size but evidently still a fraction of the routine ofStar Warsfans around the domain .
