so so sad it has to come to this

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2020)

What a sad and tragic end. as many have said before eps 1,2,3 were not great but they kept within the star wars universe and at least had proper story lines through them. force awakens rekindled that a bit and stayed wtihin its universe, it also had a decent plot, humour and you got to know the characters, it also had humour, then came the disaster that was Last Jedi, destroying all that went before, with a nonsensical plot, magical elements, scneses just put together without coherence or neccessity, characters that did not mean anything. Rise tries to move forward from there but only succeeds in a very small way, it has to repeat from eps 4 to 6 give some sort of continuity, but that was just lazy, repeating big story moments re luke and his father now rey and her revelation, this had no where the same shock gasping impact as i am your father. i came back and watched ep IV again and just saw how great it still is , no where near the same amount of minlesss action, the pacing was way slowere and better we get characters, emotion, humour and when the action starts it does not go on for over, Rise was constnact frenectic movement action everyone talking really loudly no scnenes of actual meaning full dialogue. this is committe writing and film making, there is no vision behind it, no care or love. Lucas has stories for the last three i would love to know his version maybe its not too late to find out where he took his characters. he based the saga on classic world myths and archetypes he consulted with people like joseph campbell, which is why the apppealed and worked on a universal level. hollywood needs to find writers and film makers that have some depth that have some wisdom i bet there are fan stories that put these last episodes to shame. Solo and Rogue one had much better writing and satsfied much more that these
RIP
