After the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and its director Rian Johnson.
The last entry in the Sequel Trilogy was panned by many critics many still left the theater disappointed at the so-called conclusion to the Skywalker Saga.
As a result, and perhaps with a more profound understanding of what Star Wars should be about after watching Episode IX, fans have now taken to Twitter to show their appreciation for the 2017 movie with the hashtag #ThankYouRianJohnson, praising the film’s aesthetic values and boldness for going on a different path.
Here are just some of the countless love letters that you can read about The Last Jedi via the trending hashtag:

#thankyourianjohnson for including Carrie Fisher in your writing on The Last Jedi, for always placing women front and center and in every single group shot frame in a Star Wars movie, for understanding our needs and caring

How the tables have turned, eh? After refuses to it that his pic backtracks the previous one in any way.
Such is the fate of every Star Wars movie that stands the test of time, though. When The Empire Strikes Back was released, the reactions were largely mixed, but people grew to appreciate it as the best one in the Original Trilogy. When the Prequel Trilogy hit theaters, meanwhile, most fans hated the films and wanted George Lucas gone. Over time, however, they grew to love those movies as well.
But has the final installment, currently playing in theaters, also affected your opinion on Star Wars: The Last Jedi? If so, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
