At least it's over

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2019)

This trilogy was rough. The story was all over the place, messy, and attempting to throw in elements that change the foundation of the originals and prequels. Throwing in new force powers, bringing back the empire and the emperor even though he died in ROTJ, to me it was a mess. However, it was not all bad, and this trilogy did have a lot of cool moments never before seen in Star Wars. First off, Rey, Finn and poe; I thought the acting these characters and actors did was great. Especially Adam driver. We saw a lot of cool action not seen before in the previous movies. The visuals were great. The special effects and elements were great and cool at moments. It comes down to the bison and story of this trilogy as a whole. Disney clearly didn't have any vision and these movies are sadly attempted re hashes and almost remakes of the last movies, just with new characters with the repeated themes to try to appeal the newer audiences. I will say it's good for kids today growing up, they can look up to Rey and they can enjoy the newer movies. Maybe that's just what matters. The new generation will probably up with these movies, while we grew up with the originals. The problem is this movie completely destroys the whole point of return of the Jedi, anakins ark, etc. Vader fulfilled the prophecy by destroying the emperor and sith at the end of ROTJ. That was it. That was the true ending. Then Disney Tetris to alter it and add onto it, expect it doesn't or it doesn't add anything new. It's like they are trying to rewrite Star Wars canon. The ending for me in the originals was the REAL ending of star wars for me. That was perfect. These new movies tried to end it differently and say: "well actually, no. The emperor is actually still alive. Rey is actually the real chosen one. Anakin and Luke's story meant nothing. That's what I got from this movies ending. The whole story was a mess for the news movies, but that's not to say they aren't enjoyable. The best way to look at these movies is if they are viewed as NON CANON, and that they are separate. They are spoofs. That's what these new movies felt. Spoofs. Still like I said. Kids will grow up with these movies and that's what's good. Just for me, it spat in the face of the originals. I enjoyed the sequels for some parts but nothing will ever top the true story and real ending that was established in the originals.
