The Parallels to the 2016 US Election are Uncanny

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2017)

So, so painful to watch. Star Wars: The Last Jedi will evoke many of the same emotions as the 2016 election in the US. It has all of the contrived inauthenticity of the Clinton campaign, and all of the infuriating brainlessness of the Trump campaign. Disney has absolutely destroyed a once-beloved franchise. Don't get me wrong - this film will make it's money, but at the cost of the franchise's spirit. Storytellers are needed for a new generation, and it's time to say a fond farewell to Star Wars.
