I never understood the hype.

Rating: 2/10 (11 January 2019)

For the violence, I could not see this as a young child. Then my sister watched a Deal or No Deal episode that was Star Wars themed and just because of that, we could watch Star Wars.
Well, okay, my mother let me see Return of the Jedi a little earlier, but that's what started this story I have to tell.
When I saw ROTJ, I only made it halfway and decided it was actually boring. So imagine my feelings when I, bit by bit, saw the whole trilogy.
Not only was my sister obsessed, but when The Force Awakens came out, that's all people were obsessed with. My Algebra 2 teacher actually dressed like a Jedi on it's premiere day!
With everyone's hype, I don't understand it. What's the big deal? People say the special effects are cool. Sure...the 1st few times. "Revolutionary" is another word that is used. Really? 9 years before, 2001: A Space Odyssey released, and that is much more impressive! People enjoy James Earl Jones's performance as Darth Vader...that would be my only saving grace.
I also keep finding flaws with the story-like In Empire Strikes Back, Luke believes Darth Vader is his father just because he says so. There is never a reveal that it's a lie(and why does Luke believe him in the 1st place?) Because of this, Luke leaves DV without killing him. But then in the 3rd movie, he comes back JUST TO KILL HIM! Like-really? How does that even make sense? I know it's just a movie, but it still needs some logic!
Each movie just seems to be the same story. Each one serves one purpose-for Luke to kill Darth Vader. If it takes 3 movies to do that, then you are no hero. Disney movies can do that in one! Oh, wait....Disney owns Star Wars now....wow, what a down grade in story telling!
And why would you start at episode 4, make a trilogy, and make 4 more movies, TV shows, etc.?
There. That sets in stone what I hate about Star Wars. There is most likely more I could write, but this is enough.
I wrote this review before, and people were voting this "not helpful." I'm guessing those are fans of Star Wars. To these people I say: If you enjoy Star Wars, why are you down voting a negative review? Why are you READING one? If you love Star Wars, good for you-but I can't imagine liking anything Star Wars related, aside from Space-balls.
PS, I hate this more than The Wolf of Wall Street!
