Shame

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2018)

Shame on Rian Johnson, who still thinks Star Wars is now his own little art project. It's not. And if you want to create something new, something bold in a 40 year old franchise, than respect how the universe works and why the franchise is loved by millions. Don't try to change everything in order to make your weak plot work. Shame on you Sir, you should face that you ruined the amazing chance of making Star Wars great again. Didn't even try. You should give that huge opportunity of making another trilogy to someone who's capable of good storytelling and loves Star Wars.
Shame on Kathleen Kennedy who was trusted by George Lucas to keep the franchise in the right direction. You don't care about storytelling at all, only pushing your political propaganda hard. No, Kathleen Kennedy; Star Wars is not the place for that. Star Wars is for everyone. Left or right, male or female, old or young, didn't matter for 40 years. Shame on you. You should resign and give your position to someone who care about fans instead of politics.
Shame on Disney to let all this happen. At least they should have known better how to handle a franchise this huge. At least you should have realized this would eventually kill the enthusiasm in the fans, therefore you'll lose lots of money. At least you should make steps to give the franchise to the right creative hands, to at least clean up this mess.
Also JJ Abrams is guilty too. Though he at least tried to stay in the borders of the Star Wars universe. The Force Awakens could have been a pretty much flawed, but a fine starter of an amazing trilogy. Now these hopes are gone again. People will consider the original trilogy the real thing, and everything else will be just some kind of fan fiction addition. What a wasted potential.
Even if this movie seems to be highly profitable, it will be known as The Franchisekiller. A fandom can't be killed in one moment. But fans are struggling, and they are slowly realizing that their beloved Star Wars is no more. They'll vote with their wallet. They'll soon let the past die. If that was the goal... Good job gentlemen!
