Star Wars fan base is TOXIC

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

Let's be clear, none of the new trilogy were ever going to succeed, because of the horrendous toxicity which is the Star Wars fan base.
So called 'fans' have watched this film with a preconceived idea of failure in their head and no sequels will ever been good enough.
Read the amount of 1s and 2s some have given this film...No other fan base would reach this level of toxicity with sheer blind negativity and purposefully targeted destructive comments.
The bottom line is these type of fans have never moved on from 40 years ago and stuck in an endless cycle of negativity. They want to replicate the feeling they had (when they saw the original trilogy) in the new films, and are completely adverse to any evolution of the Star Wars universe. To the point of wanting the original ageing cast jumping around and being the focal of the latest films!
Everything has evolved apart from the mindset of these type of 'fans'.
Read the low reviews about Rise of Skywalker and they all mirror and spout the same negativity over and over.
1. It's not Lucas' vision of star wars - And what's the issue with this? Don't forget Lucas' vision gave us the phantom menace, attack of the clones and revenge of the sith. Which were poorly directed, ridiculous slap stick humour, awful CGI, a ridiculous complicated trade federation story line, and zero chemistry between the main characters. Watch any of these films back without cringing, I challenge you. Also let's be honest, whilst Empire and New hope were master classes, Return of the Jedi was not.
2. Disney are just trying to make money - SHOCK HORROR. A company trying to make money. I hate to break the news here but that's what companies do, make money. Let's not kid ourselves the original franchise went to town on merchandise and Lucas made a pound or two from it. Lets get over the Disney bashing for the sake of it, its getting so cliche it's boring.
3. The characters were chosen just to be multicultural -
Erm... Princess Leia? Lando? Attacking the franchise for choosing 2 x fantastic British actors in Daisy Ridley and John Boyega is extremely disappointing. Rey is a proper modern day hero and rightly so. Shame on you British public! I for one am proud of what a fantastic job they did and the chemistry they clearly have on and off stage. Adam driver was also superb at the part of kylo.
4. Too many Disney new cute characters
Watch Return of the Jedi and look out for a tribe of fluffy bears who attack and defeat the empire with stones.
5. The old characters weren't the focus of the new films
Yes, the story, characters and universe have evolved, please move on.
6. Plot had too many unanswered loopholes
No it hasn't, all the answers are there and form part of the extended universe. Get sone knowledge of the universe, then comment.
7. Bringing back palatine was just a desperate act
No it wasn't, please gain some knowledge of the extended universe. Palpatine was brought back to life after ROTJ. It is well known and was not a last minute idea.
8. The Rise of Skywalker basically made the first 6 films redundant -
Didn't the death star get destroyed, rebuilt, then destroyed again in the original trilogy? Does this make A New Hope a redundant film?!
So the actual film...
Masterclass, 100 mph, brilliant acting, chemistry between the characters, hugely emotional, unbelievable cinematography, dark and atmospheric, immense sound by the genius John Williams band, briiliant and simple story line, brilliant brilliant brilliant on so many levels. I was in tears through out and came out feeling like I did when I saw the originals years ago. Smiling and crying at the same time.
Don't listen to this review or any others, go see the film through the eyes of a child and no prejudgement from the horrendous toxicity of the star wars fan base and make your own mind up.
