Sloppy corporate spreadsheet filmmaking

Rating: 4/10 (11 January 2020)

Imagine a couple of studio executives sitting in a boardroom going over how to wrap up the latest Star Wars trilogy so that it makes the maximum amount of money.
In fron of them a print out excel sheet with boxes to tick for their moneymaker:
Microwave a story that is a re-hash of mostly Return of the Jedi yet with plotholes the size of an asteroid field ✅
Guest appearances by all the oldies but goodies without any real sense purpose, i.e. Lando, Han Solo, Leia, Chewbacca, Ewoks, Endor, Emperor Palpatine, etc. ✅
Have a next generation of characters, i.e Finn, Poe, Rey running around doing exactly the same things their predecessors did in the first trilogy (nobody will notice) ✅
Cramp it with high-quality special effects✅
And we got something that we'll make at least a billion worldwide.
That's Rise of Skywalker in a nutshell: A soulless, sloppy forgetabble, big budget and corporate box-ticking excercise that brings in the bucks and balances the books of - in this case - Disney.
