The Fall of Star Wars

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2019)

What a terrible movie. Kathleen Kennedy, you need to step down. She clearly has no understanding of Star Wars. Let me begin by saying this is not an attack on feminism or J.J Abrams but this film is awful. Ignore the ratings that are above 4 of out 10.
The whole film apologizes for The Last Jedi and tells you something completely different from what that film did. Then it attempts to cram everything else into a boring 2.5 hours. The scene where Kylo Ren visits The Emperor is one of the worst scenes ever in a Star Wars film. The Emperor tells him that he cheated death and then mimics a line from The Revenge of the Sith. No actual explanation how he survived being thrown 5 thousand feet to his death by Darth Vader in The Return of the Jedi and then completely obliterated on the Death Star when it blew up at the climax of that movie. I'm pretty sure George Lucas was saying that this is the end of the Death Star and everything on it. This was such a bad case of desperation to bring back The Emperor because Rian Johnson killed off Snoke.
J.J Abrams work in the past has been good. I like the Star Trek Reboot and is one of the best reboots I have seen along with Casino Royale and I also liked MI:3 but he has completely messed up this film that clearly had no direction of where to go as a trilogy. This trilogy's desperate attempt to inject feminism into the saga has backfired terribly. Kathleen Kennedy saying that these films have strong independent women has been a blatant lie. Rey is the worst character in the whole of the 9 star wars films. Having a character and saying that she is brilliant at everything and cannot be defeated and anything, train herself as a jedi and beat someone who is trained with the dark side of the force is just ridiculous. Her character was already fully developed after The Force Awakens. Her force powers are even more stronger is this film that they were in the last film. Finn again has nothing to do in this film. His wardrobe has gone through a more interesting arc than he has.
There are great things that you can do with a diverse cast if you have a brilliant script. Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse and HBO's Watchmen are just 2 examples!!
In the end this all about a corporation wanting to make more money and have no understanding of what makes Star Wars great. Where is use to be about a great vision of a bright young Director, it has now become money making scheme to cram all of it's political correctness down your throat
