J.J. Abrams is a good director. In a way he can direct a movie, not write a script. He did an acceptable job with "Force Awakens" by copy pasting "New Hope" and adding Emo Ren and Mary Sue to the mix, but that's about it.
Then a disaster known as "Last Jedi" happened. Milking a space elephant-walrus-cow, casino, waste of Benicio del Toro , Jake Skywalker, yo-mama-jokes, admiral Gender Studies, Leia Poppins, Snoke The Useless and e.t.c. Well, you all know the drill.
To fix a train wreck like that... You would need a genius of a writer. And since "Disney" failed to locate one, J.J. did his best. And his best is not good enough. It's simple is that. Not his fault, we all have our limits. Mary Sue is still Mary Sue, Emo Ren is still Emo Ren (though in the end he will get better, after all Adam Driver is a talented actor) and Good Old Emperor cannot pull the weight alone. Is it better than "Last Jedi"? Sure. But since when being better than "Last Jedi" can be considered an achievement?
And no, "Star Wars" is not dead. Enough with a drama. And yes, there is a chance for a really good "Star Wars" movies/series. I mean, look at the "Mandalorian" - it's kinda silly and naÃ¯ve, but it's still good. Kids love it for most part, adults can enjoy it as well. And Obi-Wan mini-series can be clearly seen on the horizon, so there is hope. Just not for this "new trilogy".
Oh, and if you liked it - good for you. Sincerely.
