Most expensive audience prank ever.

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2019)

Rian Jenkins is smarter than you and he wants you to know that. In the Force Awakens, the story sets up some questions and some curiosities that have the potential to take the Star Wars narrative into new and exciting places. WHO is Rey? Who were her parents? Who is Snoke? Where did the first order come from? Why has Luke been in hiding? What happened to Luke's Jedi academy? Who are the Knights of Ren?
Lots of questions and lots of places you can go, narratively speaking. Rian Jenkins opts to go no where with any of them, because RJ doesn't think any of this matters. What matters... is failure? So, we're treated to seeing our new characters fail for 2 hours and essentially end the movie almost at the same place narratively speaking as the previous film ended.
Rian Jenkins is smarter than us, remember... and he wanted to use this film as a prank on the audiences expectations... those expectations which can be seen as us investing our thoughts into the ideas put forward in the first film. Remember, NONE of this matters and we're all stupid for investing time and thought into this story.
