End of an era

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2016)

It was actually a very nice movie. If it was called anything else then Star Wars I would have cheered the quality and the entertainment value of the movie and would probably rate it with an eight or a nine.
The problem is, it is a Star Wars movie.
When I am going to see a Star Wars movie, I am not going to see a movie, but I am going to check out how they have been, what they have been doing, how the empire is developing, are they gaining more power? Who is taking the place of the fallen on both sides, who is now taking a stand against the empire who is going to make an effort to crush the rebels? Or is the evil now in the run are the Jedi's now rising in numbers, are of will they ever come back if so how etc. etc. etc....
At the very beginning of the movie, I was very disappointed and didn't recover form. What the flock happened with the opening?
Why, why why in earth would you skip the intro? The intro was the gateway to their part of the universe. Via this gate way the viewer, (at the least me) could actually move from our part of the universe to their part...and now..during the whole movie i was not there actually experiencing what they were doing, but I was sitting in a theater watching, however nice, a movie....
Whit Rogue One, they (Disney) has killed Star Wars. I assume it was a deliberate act, since they are not stupid. They will try to setup their saga...well good luck with that. If you could have, you would have about a decade and billion or so ago...
