A basic guide on enjoying a legendary movie franchise

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2019)

Instead of writing a movie review per se, and having read all the hatred disguised as movie reviews here, I decided to write a simple guide on enjoying not only Star Wars, but absolutely any movie at all. That said, whenever a sequel of a legendary franchise such as Star Wars comes out, there are two things I usually do. 1. I do not open my IMDB app or visit any website containing movie "reviews" in order to completely ignore the usual hatred that befalls an all-time favorite flick. 2. I avoid those meme-based apps which are rife with spoilers at all cost. Unfortunately, when it comes to Star Wars, some "fans" act as extreme traditionalists who will never accept Disney Studios as the legitimate owner of Star Wars and to them, it doesn't really matter if they come with an epic flick. They will always wear their keyboard warrior armour and loathe it at all costs. Such people would rather see Star Wars being written with the same Apple 1 computer George Lucas used when writing the script for Star Wars: A New Hope back in 77. Hell, they probably resent the fact that 35 mm PANAVISION cameras weren't used in episode IX. I like to compare what's been happening to Star Wars to what's been happening to Formula 1. There's this group of people who call themselves "fans" who insist on ignoring the fact that Liberty Media has been gathering more F1 fans around the world by making this motorsport more enjoyable too by introducing "modern" entertainment such as a T-shirt gun/launcher and Bruno Mars concerts on race weekends. Despite the fact that I hate Bruno Mars (or that type of music), it is undeniable that F1 has got itself into a more modern, sophisticated Era, just like Star Wars. There are legions, believe it or not, who stopped following F1 because those extreme fuel-efficient, lower-emission Power Units are being used instead of gas-guzzling, oil-spilling V10s from the 80s. Believe it or not, there are legions who stopped following the Star Wars franchise because Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo Ren aren't like Luke, Leia, Han and Vader. So, what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy another excellent Star Wars installment if you can ignore the bad "reviews" in here. And if you, like me, grew up watching A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, don't forget to bring your tissues (yes, there will be crying in the theater, I guarantee it).
