Disney Star Wars Trilogy: A spectacular failure at storytelling

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

With "Star Wars" Lucas accidentally kicked off sci-fi franchise films in 1977. With this film, the final episode in the "saga," the grandfather of sci-fi franchises comes to a spectacularly inglorious end.
The whole trilogy is like watching a wondrous train wreck: It went off the rails from the start, then it plunged into an abyss, and now, driven by its own sheer mass and wicked velocity, has spectacularly exploded on the barren, rocky chasm floor.
If only they had created a world upon as sturdy a ground as that which gave me my only satisfaction: beholding it's ultimate and glorious demise.
Simply put: the world, story, characters, relationships, dialogue, arcs, plot are unbelievable because they are not built upon a unified, sturdy vision and world. Corporate filmmaking at its worst, pumping out films like they are factory-made products to please shareholders with yearly revenue reports, not to make good stories that are worth watching more than once.
Though this series is worth watching and studying purely as a case study in how NOT to make films/write stories. Time is always needed to birth an ample world/script. They will make their money with this one (but not much from rentals I reckon), but only parts of the OT will stand the test of time as timeless cinema.
The best thing about it is that it is over.
