Jar Jar fooled us again

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2019)

I remember when me and my parents watched Star Wars - A New Hope for the first time togher on TV. It was by the begging of the 1980´s, We use to sit togher in front of our incredible 21 inch TV, had some goodies while me and my little sister commented nearly every scene of the movie at least with a whoaaa. We were astonished by the special effects and my parets proudly told us that they use to watch this movie in cinema years ago. From that moment on I fell in love with Sci-Fi. Star Wars opened my heart for a hole new universe full of possibilities and adventures. Later on the same year I discovered Star Trek - TOS and it was a done deal. I was about to become a nerd for sure :)
Now 36 years, three prequels and three sequels later I´m about to sadly say farewell to my most beloved franchises. Jar Jar Abrams took all my passion and love for them. In 2009 when the first Jar Jar directed movie with the collosal titel of Star Trek - The Future Beggins Now was released, I was very sceptical about the outcoming. Jar Jar nearly ruined the Missin Impossible franchise by directing MI 3. It took nearly 10 years that any producer had the guts and dared to put a hand on that franchise again. He also written and produced Lost and Fringe. The idea for nearly every episode was taken from the 50´s Twilight Zone, Outerlimits, Alfred Hitchcock presents and Science Fiction Theatre series. So in my eyes he was just a nonvisionairy falsifier who fooled the audience. And all my concerns became reality. Jar Jar turned my wonderful franchise, which has put my through space and time and finally gave me the opportunity to see beyonde, into a stupid Crash Boom Bang movie.
In 2013 the ultimate MCA happened, George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney. It immidiatly started a heath drunken discussen within the community. What would happen to the franchise. Will Lucas stay as consulting advisor to the franchise. Will Kathleen Kennedy be able to lead Star Wars in to the future. All the question got an answer when Jar Jar Abrams named director for Star Wars episode X. And the community went silent and followed anxiously the progress during the realisation progress. And once again Jar Jar chose a collosal titlte for his movie to show his superiority over the whole Sci-Fi community, Star Wars - The Force Awakens.
In 2015 I immediatly refused to watch his movie in cinema by nowing it will be a Jar Jar Abrams movie. All my friends pilgrimed to the theatres and went out angry and disappointed. So one year later on my 21 st brithday ;) somone decided to give me a SWTFA Blue Ray as a birthdaypresent. It took my actually a whole week to watch that two hour nonsens from the begginging tho the end. After I finished that so called Star Wars movie I was so happy by not spending just one dime on that bull....
Now, four years later a friend of my called me and asked me if I like to watch the new Star Was movie. He already purchased the tickets for the premiere but his wife couldn´t make it. By nowing I would refuse to pay for the ticket, he immediately turn it to a invitation. So for the first time since the sequels went out I watched a Star Wars movie in theatre. Sitting on my seat let my eyes wandering around I recognised that me and my friend were by far the most mature persons in the audience. And that tells a lot. Star Wars isn´t that beloved franchise from my youth anymore. A little secret that parents have with there childeren. That sectret when the father is a bigger fan of something that suppose to be made for the son. I can only say, save your money. Unfortunatly it is not worth it anymore to spend it for the Star Wars franchise.
