Surprise Surprise

It's mandatory that when reading reviews of Disney's Star Wars 9 that you familiarize yourselves with words like retcon; member-berries, McGuffins, ex-machina and my favorite new word exposition. (I never heard of any of these words until Disney's Star Wars came along.) Exposition/expound? Don't know what exposition means? Well, it's Finn AKA Mr. Exposition basically. It's someone who has to explain something out loud even though we've seen it with our own eyes firsthand. You see, Finn feels the need to interpret its meaning verbally to the moviegoer as we're too stupid to comprehend what's happening on the screen for ourselves apparently. It's a translator of some sorts...kind of.
Neil Breen could have directed something far better than this story wise. But what can you expect with JJ Abrams at the helm? (What does JJ stand for anyway - Just Joking?)
I've reserved extra special thanks in my closing statements to Lucas Film big boss Kathleen Kennedy - way to go, lady, you were more concerned about espousing your political persuasions over actual science fiction storytelling and it's backfired drastically. Serves you right.
Hope ya sell lots of toys this Christmas though, Disney. But then again you can't do anything right when it comes to the field of Star Wars as evident by not having any plush Baby Yoda material for sale this year. Good Lord.
Here's the future of film and it's not pretty.
Thank God it's over though.
Without respect.... we reject.
