The franchise is so lucky to have John Williams

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2017)

I think the only thing I enjoyed in this movie was yet another phenomenal score by John Williams and fantastic performance by the orchestra performing it. The two stars are for him. Unfortunately there's only so much a person can do...
I've never felt betrayed or insulted by a movie until last Thursday.
I can't begin to fathom the arrogance and disdain of Johnson to completely destroy the foundation that J.J. laid out for this trilogy.
Sure TFA it was a reboot of A New Hope, but for me J.J. had left so much in place for this to be a stunning and thoroughly thought provoking experience. I'm utterly devastated that he didn't sign on to lead all three movies.
TLJ failed miserably and not only that, in failing so miserably it has taken the third movie down with it too. I can't imagine what can be done to salvage the trilogy after this abomination ... and to be frank... I don't care.
I don't have any questions after this movie - there is NOTHING intriguing to mull over and talk about with like minded fans for the next two years. The narrative arc is dead and I don't care about any of the characters or have any idea or care for what might become of them.
Nothing but disappointment.
