Money matters, nothing else

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2019)

I loved Force Awakens, I was devastated when Han died, even though I saw it from miles that it will happen. I enjoyed Last Jedi in the cinemas very much, I cried at the end when the title came "In memory of Carrie Fisher" while Leia's theme was playing. After rewatching I now see the flaws, but still it's not a disaster in my view.
And then I started to read and hear the rumors. Episode IX (no title at that point) is in trouble. Director changes, script changes, reshoots. I was getting worried. Then we got the first trailer with the title and that laugh. I was confused, I was baffled. And more and more news came solidifying my worries.
And then the first reviews came: Worst Star Wars of all time - said the title of the article. I sat in the cinema with no hope and no expectations. What came after was a parody of a franchise. Incoherent rumbling of star wars-esque big budget CGI mess. Yes, the visuals are good, but for that amount of money any decent graphic designer team could do it, nothing spectacular, nothing unique, nothing to result in awe. It was like Disney lost a bet (for example someone said that Black Panther will be a big hit, and they were like: What? The black hero movie? Yeah, right!) and they had to make a joke of a movie out of Episode IX.
It was terrible for Star Wars standards. I mean, God, Solo was bad, this was worse.
