Disney Star Wars, a sad wasted opportunity.

Rating: 2/10 (17 September 2018)

I always like to compare the great work of Cobra Kai with the terrible work of Disney's SW sequels; for me, there is a clear difference: In Cobra Kai they took all the old characters of Karate Kid and they did a new story for them, the old characters are still a very crucial and important part of the story, and they introduced new characters that are interacting with the old generation, so people will get to love also the new characters. So in Cobra Kai both generations are EQUALLY important.
In contrast in SW, the old characters are practically irrelevant to the story, they used the old characters in little roles, something like longer cameos, the didn't create a new story for the old characters, they forced the focus only in the new actors, and even worst: they had the awful idea of tell the same old story with the new characters, using in the way, the old characters as steps on a ladder. So only the new generation is important.
Cobra Kai is a great example of how to make a sequel of an old franchise.
Disney SW sequels are a great example of how not to do it.
Sadly TFA and TLJ are not really sequels, are reboots with cameos of the old actors, in a way, almost like Ghostbusters 2016
