JarJar has stolen someone's work once again.

Rating: 1/10 (16 January 2020)

I don't think anyone would be surprised by now that The Force Awakens was basically A New Hope Remastered with pretty much nothing added to compensate. And, given that The Last Jedi was directed by someone who clearly enjoyed the Holiday Special - JarJar was left with no options. The new emperor(Snoke) is dead, he can't copy The Empire Strikes Back, and thus not The Return of the Jedi, but then JarJar thought... But what if he actually DID copy The Return of the Jedi? But how? Luckily, the expanded universe gave him an answer.
Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, year 2015. An Emperor who is suddenly alive on a far away planet, who has built a fleet of ships out of thin air, who is interested in possessing the main character and who is definitely hell-belt on purging the galaxy. The plot was already laid out. Not to mention a few other similarities, but they are inconsequential. I mean, just the little things like extremely powerful force ghosts, force healing AND resurrection... In a proper medium, a video game, and in the expanded universe that wasn't chained by the few examples of the force from the movies - it all made sense.
But that wasn't quite enough for JarJar. I mean, he had two for two - a plot to steal and a story to remaster, but that's not enough for the man. He hated Ryan Johnson's attempt at Christmas Special Remaster SO much that he was ready to spend.... "dozens" of minutes of screentime to just... flip a bird and stick it up to Ryan and his efforts. Eliminating General Hux? Yep. Making Snoke into a further joke? Yup. Making even more fun of Luke? You bet. Killing Finn? Finally! Making Rey train, so that she was basically a Jedi God? Oh, yeah, that helps.
Essentially JarJar took the goal of The Return of the Jedi as the frame, then splattered the paints from KOTFE as the main plot, and just slashed with his brush, while laughing maniacally, lining the picture with various "F you Ryan" jokes, the key of which being that he made Rey into a Palpatine, but still got her to call herself a Skywalker. So he showed Ryan the candy he wanted, and then ate it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the conclusion of one billion-dollar worth of production trolling. And you all have paid Disney dearly for it. Enjoy.
