Where's the StarWars

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2017)

My daughter and I have both been captured by the emotional excitement of the Star Wars movies. Its a great story with so many themes ..but we like the characters connection with each other and a story that puts them in conflict within an environment of turmoil, heroics and hope (among other things).
This movie destroyed everything Star Wars for both of us. At the end of the movie, the theater was silent(usually people clap). My daughter turns to me and says .."Where's the Star Wars" . I couldn't say anything. She summed up what i was thinking.
Kathleen Kennedy created some great new characters in The Force Awakens...but then destroys the entire franchise around them with The Last Jedi. When I say franchise...I'm understating the emotional involvement we had in all the Episodes.
I don't see any reason to see Ep. 9.
Our next few years will deal with healing and moving on....trying to find something else for both of us to enjoy. Slowly we'll detach from the saga...I'm sure we'll watch but not with the same excitement or enthusiasm. We hope that within a year that it will be a distant memory.
Goodbye Star Wars.
