Bye Bye miss American Pie

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2018)

No spoilers, but If you haven't seen The Last Jedi stop reading now. It's been out long enough if you haven't watched it you're probably not a huge star wars fan anyway. Here's my brief rant about the film. Katherine Kennedy (Lucas Film President) along with her Co-defendant Director Rian Johnson have destroyed the Star Wars Film Franchise. I'm not alone with this assessment. Literally on wikipedia if you search Katherine Kennedy it says - "Kathleen Kennedy is an American film producer and is the reason for the downfall of the most beloved film franchise, Star Wars." I won't go into the individual reasons why the movie is so ridiculous, because my review would be as long as the movie. When you look at the complete devastation this movie has done to the franchise (on a likability scale) it will rank just a little higher than the Phantom Menace for future generations. But honestly the even the Phantom Menace did a better job on character development and plot. Disney had a lot riding on the new era of Star Wars and I think they've tarnished their brand a bit with they way they've handled this. With his original trilogy, George Lucas created something unlike the world had ever seen to that point. Star Wars was special and left a lasting mark on popular culture and fans like me. Star Wars will carry on from here, but only in name and not in spirit.
