I understand why people were reported to have cried after seeing this movie

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2017)

Watching The Last Jedi was like witnessing a close childhood friend being murdered in front of you. I was in shock after watching this movie and it took me a whole day to sort through my emotions. I was just so disappointed and bewildered at how something as awful as this can be made from the materials you have available. How is it possible to go from the master piece that was and still is the original Star Wars A New Hope, the original trilogy, the whole expanded universe, decades of lore and then come up with this atrocity and think that what you have made stands up to 30+ year old movies.
Is this perhaps the end result of being so secretive of the script that nobody can read the whole thing and actually say.. "hey, you know .. maybe doing this like that isn't actually a good idea" or was this the consequence of nobody having the balls to stand up to the director or screen writer.
In a world where Marcia Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palma saved the original Star Wars in the 70's there was nobody to save The Last Jedi.
