Who's the "we" in "secretly claiming"?
From what I've seen, people have just straight out said it is a good film, from when it was released.
Yes, there is a divide on people who say it is a legit good film and those who say it's not a good film.
But to try to paint this opinion of "TLJ was good" as if we somehow are retroactively saying that it was immediately tossed aside as bad and "now" people are "trying to claim it's 'secretly' good" seems to me like someone is trying to repaint the narrative in their favor so they can use this as the slamdunk of "TLJ has always been bad and will always be bad, stop trying to pretend it is somehow good" to end conversation about TLJ.
And not as a real observation of how the discourse surrounding TLJ really went down.
It's OK that it was a devisive film. The Empire Strikes Back was devisive despite some trying to revision it as The One Every One Agreed For A Long Time As The Best Star Wars Film for quite a while (and IDK if people are still trying to make that claim but TESB was devisive for a long time, people just want to pretend they 'always' knew it was good when The Return of the Jedi was released and it disappointed people.
