Ruins George lucas Star wars

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2019)

First of all ive loved star wars since i was 10. Grew up on the original trilogy about the time the special editions were coming out. I really did like the prequels, with "revenge of the sith" possibly being my favorite star wars film overall. One thing in the George Lucas era of star wars was that each film built on what came before it. The prequels expanded the galaxy with new worlds and creatures and environments and gave a great backstory to how the galaxy came to be under the empire in the original trilogy.
When disney announced a new trilogy i was hopeful but from the first moment knew they were heading down a dark road. Before i get to the new movie first of all they destroyed everything the rebellion achieved in the originals, along with all the old characters before killing them off one by one in favor off poorly developed new characters. What they done to Luke was unforgivable.
However i was going to go see this first chance i got simply because it was star wars and somehow the greatest villian palpatine was making a return.
The film started of good. Great opening scenes, and wasted no time getting into it. Effects were great overall, but why wouldn't they be. There were some complaints about the pacing, but i thought it was fine as there was a lot to cover. The new characters in this trilogy are still totally underdeveloped, but we stick with them. Although it was about half way through you notice more and more its just expensive fan fiction rather then the star wars we all know and love. The emperor was just thrown in there and the story of him been Rey's grandfather was just terrible. Its not once explained how he came back or even hinted at. Worst of all it 100% destroys everything Lucas had in his 6 films.
"the chosen one" prophecy ment nothing overall. Anakin's sacrifice now means nothing. Darth sidious the master manipulator doesn't really seem to have any sort of plan. It looked to be thrown together at the last minute as expensive fan service hoping nobody would notice how empty it is. This new trilogy undone everything George Lucas wrote and everything all the other chacacters achieves for a quick cash grab that wasn't thought out at all. It gets a few stars from me cos some scenes were entertaining and can't fault the effects. This is apparently canon now, but for me and i'm sure many fans out there when it comes to the story there is only really 6 star wars movies and some expensive fan fiction. The end of the skywalker saga ended in ep6 return of the jedi.
