Let's start a petition to remake it ;-)

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

I say this tongue in cheek, but part of me means it. Ep. VIII may have been controversial, but Rian Johnson had a clear idea where he was going and where he wanted to shift the focus (and message) of Star Wars. Not everything may have hit the mark but yes, the film kept me on my toes, I never knew what was coming next and I loved it. I go and watch a film to be surprised and see something I could not have imagined before. After IX I was left feeling flat. The film, apart from fantastic effects, great cinematography, music and sound effects, had no rhythm, no flow. The plot largely felt like bad fan fiction, busy and convoluted and I simply couldn't get emotionally invested. I love Rey and Daisy Ridley did give her best, but all the actors/characters would have deserved a better, more daring and surprising film. So yes, I absolutely want to see how Rian Johnson would have finished the story. I'm sure it would have been more memorable. Let's start crowdfunding :-)
