Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2017)

What I watched wasn't Star Wars. It was a sloppy attempt to get rid of all the things people loved about the movies (not even doing it subtly, Luke throwing his saber, Yoda burning the tree, hell, you even put Kylo Ren voice your jealousy of the old films with his "let the past die" speech) and replace the characters we loved and have bonded with with shallow mockeries of them, mockeries that, no matter how talented, do not have the necessary depth for fans to relate with (a by-product of your hasty, non cohesive script, which was more focused on copying films 5 and 6 in a non linear way, so as to not "raise suspicions", as if we are that stupid not to notice) and adding non-stop juvenile jokes after every scene that had the faintest chance of actually being good (therefore ruining the feeling). I grew up watching Star Wars and I feel sorry for what it has become. I am always open-minded and positive about new additions to already beloved stories, but this time I have no qualms to admit that, from what I've watched so far, for me Star Wars has truly ended with Return of the Jedi. And I honestly believe that every person's imagination is capable of continuing the story of a galaxy far, far away in the most creative way, all it takes is some actual love for the story, love you obviously are not capable of feeling.
