Creative, energetic, and not what people expected

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2019)

It upset a lot of people because it wasn't the movie Star Wars purists were expecting. Star Wars purists are quick to judge calling it cheesy or lame, but forget when Obi Wan literally "force-talked" to Luke after he died when Luke blew up the Death Star. Sorry it wasn't whatever "cannon" fan theory you were expecting but this movie had a lot of strengths. The origin of the blue milk was hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud when Luke was suckling that sea lion creatures teats. People want to blame the "failure" on Rian Johnson, but here's a wake-up call; you don't "test" someone with a billion dollar franchise. It was a collaborative effort between Disney, JJ abrams, Rian Johnson, and the thousands of people associated to make it the way it was. At very least it was interesting. To me it was genius. I knew it wasn't going to be the movie people wanted it to be when Luke tossed the light saber. People think that just because it wasn't the move they expected that must mean it's bad. It wasn't. It was a great film, and if you can't see past your own expectations then maybe you should stick to the prequels lest you encounter any change in your life. And for those who still blame Johnson, do a little research on his previous work and his fixation on a term called the "fall-guy."
