Star Wars - Return of the Rehash

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2019)

After the negative feedback from fans hating 'the last jedi' and the risks Rian Johnson took JJ Abrams was called to save the day and bring back the love of the fans by 'fixing' the mistakes done in 'the last jedi'. The Result? copy/paste of 'return of the jedi' to please the fans and a 'safe' nostalgic star wars movie without taking any risks.
It comes down to this - if you have seen the original trilogy you will hate this movie as I did, If not you might actually enjoy it a lot since it has a lot of special effects, action and emotional scenes...and I guess this is what Disney was aiming at, they wanted to remake star wars for the new generation since they know it's mostly children,teenagers and families who pay for a movie ticket and that's how Kathleen Kennedy and the Disney producers will make more money - Good for them I guess, sad for the rest of us who had probably high expectations back in 2012 when it was announced George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney.
I started hating this movie already 4 years ago when I saw 'The Force Awakens' - the main problem with it was the boring and uninspired new characters. Now I don't have a problem having a female main lead (recently saw an awesome movie called 'crawl' with a leading actress) but the actress which was chosen was a miscast and lacking the charm and charisma of Mark Hamill. Next, John Boyega as Finn was another miscast being quite unfunny and dull. Adam Driver on the other hand turned out to be quite a decent actor but it was the choice of JJ and co. to make him weak and lacking the menacing screen presence of Darth Vader from the original trilogy. This poor miscast has left its mark on the entire trilogy leading all the way to Trailers for Rise of skywalker which barely show any footage of the new cast and bringing back Palpatine from the dead...btw, what was he doing all these years? just chilling at his dark lair and playing video games? give me a break. dead is dead.
'The Last Jedi' had its issues as well bringing back the weak cast but what I did like about it was that Rian Johnson had the courage to take risks and not just safely rehash stuff like JJ, the result was still underwhelming but that's also because of being forced to add a lot of feminist and other PC agendas to the movie.
Rise of Skywalker goes back to safe autopilot of ticking all the boxes needed to please the star wars fans, children, families etc. and rehashing return of the jedi - the result is boring, uninspired and forgetful.
