I had fun but Disney is not a JEDI YET!

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2019)

When I heard as a 17 year old kid that George Lucas was going to make 9 Star Wars films I wondered what amazing things were in store for us. As I bought my tickets for each new movie I was looking foreword to something old and familiar like The Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One and The Mandalorian and holding my breath for the George Lucas "new things" and not just special effects but great ideas! Not horses running on the outside of space ships... seriously, and I never went to see Star Wars for extremists political or social statements.
Well, it took 42 years to find out what the movies would be like and who would I be going to see them with. I saw the first two movies with my best friend and brother Trent who is no longer with us, I did go with my daughters and son Luke Harrison Blood, yea I'm a big fan... OF THE "FORCE" Where did it go and how could they have forgotten it? Was it Producer Gary Kurtz after all that gave us those first two great films and when he was kicked to the curb so was the True Force forever? Sadly it feels this way.
Don't get me wrong, the other films are fun but not STAR WARS, EMPIRE or MANDALORIAN fun. Those films and that TV show are great and big surprise they're selling the most TOYS not ewoks, Jar Jar Binks and awful woody harrelson as Beckett, Han Solo's mentor! I held my tongue until they cast that film so poorly. I'm sorry Alden what's his name is not young Han Solo and woody I'll work for free harrelson from cheers again was a huge mistake Kathleen Kennedy and so was the awkward girl on girl kiss at the end of the movie, talk about taking everybody out of the movie at the wrong time. As Trent would say DUH! What were you thinking besides trying to make it about yourselves.
Thank god Disney is leaving Marvel and PIXAR to manage their own great process and products, but give the corporation mentality time to mess that up too with "movie by committee" thinking. They almost killed the original Toy Story before it even got off the ground. But in all fairness and the truth be told Disney and it's sub studios are making the best products and films out there minus these few mistakes and we're standing in line for them while the rest of the industry is truly faltering. They're loosing A-list talent in front and behind of the camera to competitors Netflixs, Amazon, iTunes, HBO and all the other I wanna Bees. It's like beach front property... there's only so much of it and when it's gone it gone and the prices will skyrocket.
The new Star Wars movie is good, it's a love struggle between Rey and Ben but that ain't anything new. JJ Abrahms blew us away with the new Star Trek reboot... and he wasn't even a Star Trek fan. I wanted at least that for "STAR WARS" JJ. You should have never left Ya Big Dummy! So let's begin the chant... "george... George... GEORGE!!!"
