>>15836905The emotional bits were what made it seem like an actual STORY to me, instead of just blowing shit up for 2 hours (a la Transformers 1-3).
Plus they made a concerted effort to bring back the continuity for the series, even bringing back Dom's sister who hadn't been seen since the first movie. In 5, they bring back characters from 1 *and* 2. It's weird as fuck.
Plus Han died in part 3, so parts 4-5 took place before part 3.
They spent way more time writing these than they should've, and I applaud them for it.
