No inventinveness whatsoever

Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2018)

I'm not a 'Comic book store guy' fan Star Wars. I simply liked the first few movies. The original movies were good because they were inventive. The Last Jedi simply has no inventiveness. They are supposed to be creating a Galaxy far away, but we get the tired old Naziesque 'Axis' Empire and obviously 'Allied' resistance rebels. That was adequate in the 1980's but now we need more depth of thought, intelligence and spirituality.
They seem terrified to do anything new except appeal to Asian audiences a little more so it sits tediously in no-mans land. What if the Empire wasn't purely dark and the Rebels weren't entirely good? What of the only location filming wasn't a small Scottish Island?
Is this all we get to the end of time? Anything inventive and popular just gets remade every 20 years with new actors?
This is all becoming a cash cow formula.
