George Lucas - "There is no episode 7" Same goes for episode 8

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

I know the movie genre is a lot about personal preference, but Star Wars is a little more than that. It is not only a great sequence with a lot of story and emotions behind it, but a very uniquely build world.
With that mentioned, when Episode I came out there was some disappointment in the core fans, because they've projected their version of what Star Wars should be in the final product. I LOVED Star Wars I, it was a very subtle simple introduction to the world in a different way. Yeah, Darth Maul could be a little more under the highlight, but other than that we got really good product.
Now what happen with Episode XII? It was recycled, cheap reproduction of Star Wars. They tried to satisfy the core fans with the copycat plot of the previous episodes, BUT they failed to deliver the very essence of Star Wars, its storyline connection. You've just killed (literally) the characters of the old Star Wars, like it's some kind of mocking to the whole world, replaced with the new ones that are completely disconnected from the sequence. If you put episode I to VI in a row, you get that touching family story full of struggle, fantasy, pain & joy. What happens when you add the next VII and VIII? Just super disconnected emotional disaster.
Disney could acquire lucasarts, 20th Century Fox, but with their arrogant attitude towards the history of a production, they'll fall as every empire did before them, no matter how big they get.
If you feel the same as I do, please think twice before you support them. And research what the creators/actors think themselves about the whole situation.
Happy holidays,
