I have no words and I must speak

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2017)

Imagine if the "I am your father" scene of The Empire Strikes Back ended with Luke's smartass comeback. Imagine Obi-Wan throwing a one liner while Anakin is crawling at the edge of the lava stream on Mustafar. Imagine Yoda sharing a joke with Mace Windu between two wise words.
Imagine the Empire being led by idiots, spineless lackeys and undisciplined aggressors instead of masterful manipulators, threatening strongmen and dutiful officers.
Imagine the Rebel fleet at the end of "Empire" consisting a dozen individuals, and nothing else, all going nowhere.
Imagine the whole concept of learning the ways of the Force means absolutely nothing as even someone without training can move object and stuff.
That's The Last Jedi without any spoilers, through some thought experiments.
I was generous with the rating of The Force Awakens, because at that point, I saw potential, I saw ways the three movie saga can turn out well. Now it all seems finalized and not for the better.
I gave 5 stars, but 4 of them are-as the Resistance would put it- just hope, nothing more.
And whoever is trying to destroy my favorite franchise, because they have the power and education but also lack the soul, this message is for you:
Star Wars was always made great by the drama and not by cheap laughs. The universe was good because it was credible by its own logic, the villains looked like a real threat, the heroes had something personal AND something greater to fight for, not because it had something cutesy in it.
You are not making a Marvel flick for cheap laughs in the Summer season. You are ruining Star Wars with one liners, random gags and characters that just don't fit in their alleged role. You are not providing comic relief, you force jokes on a good drama. That being said, I don't mind humor if it's actually relevant, not just thrown in, as if there was an algorithm that forces characters to say or do something funny once in every two minutes of screen time.
Riddle me this one thing: Which part, which scene, which character of the new trilogy will be the one that people will speak about even decades later like it happened in the case of the last two trilogies? Just name one. If you can.
All in all, my personal Star Wars canon seems to terminate at Episode VII. I refuse to accept anything that happened to my childhood heroes and even to their initially promising follow-ups in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
