TGIO!

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2020)

For the first time in my life, I actually walked out of the theater during a Star Wars movie. The only reason I gave it three stars was out of respect for the franchise. Friends told me later how it ended but I didn't care.
I've seen every Star Wars movie on the big screen since 1978. My parents introduced me to the series when I was young and I've taken my own kids to see them since The Force Awakens. These last two films have tragically taken the saga in all the wrong directions. I'm left now feeling disappointed by how the franchise has ended, but THANK GOD it's all over. I don't think I can stand to see it get any worse. At least Rogue One and The Mandalorian are really great, and they're not even part of the main story.
If anything, I hope this last film serves as a reminder to all filmmakers to know when to quit and to avoid running other franchises into the ground.
