The sale of Star Wars to Disney went as expected

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2020)

And by that I mean - went down in horrible flames. How did I knew it would come to this the moment I heard about it? Because Disney doesn't care about story. They aren't creators who have the deep need within to put on screen things very dear and special to them. Disney are people who have a deep and special need for money and financial success and they would ruin and walk over anything that stands in their way. It shouldn't be possible to guarantee financial success by buying out proven stories and franchises that audiences love again and again. Yet this is Disney's favorite modus operandi that works. Even now they are sharpening their teeth for the next story or characters that the audiences will love, so they can buy the rights and squeeze money out of it.
This movie, had all the charm of a 60 year old hooker, all dressed up in the finest extravagant clothing, expensive makeup and perfume, which couldn't hide her wrinkled skin and horrible street personality. I spent the entire movie being annoyed, shaking my head in disbelief how can someone fail basic story-telling tropes. This movie was filmed like a trailer - one flashy scene after another, which is somehow supposed to make it amazing, and maybe it does look amazing if you are a five year old kid. But great movies aren't made by flashy CGI overburdened scenes. Great movies are made by story and emotion. Emotion was noticeably missing from this CGI fiasco. I feel sorry for John Williams. It was so obvious that he struggled to create anything beautiful for this so the only moments where the music is noticeable is where he uses his old Star Wars motifs.
In short - this movie is a cinematic abomination. A carnival ride of mediocrity, that leaves a stale taste in your mouth and shakes your belief in the power of story-making. Just one great shameful experience for everyone involved.
