This film broke a lifelong love affair I had with Lucasfilm

Rating: 1/10 (13 July 2018)

What on Earth has happened to Hollywood? First Batman v Superman and now this monstrosity. I'm known for longwindedly bissecting films, film is my thing (well and writing), I have an encyclopaedic knowledge dating back to my first experience in the cinema at the tender age of six.
I was going to bisect this film, lay out all its too many to fit in a short list flaws, despite the fact that I realised that that might take an inordinate amount of time. In December I was angry enough, even threatening to write a fanfiction alternative to that film that I had so much of a hard time digesting.
As the film came close to finishing I remember sighing and thinking, 'Well wasn't that awful? Hope the next one is better.' Then, without any setup that this might happen, the most important character who has ever existed in the Star Wars universe puffed out of existence. For no reason he was killed off with a touch of awful unfinished CGI that looked like it had been pasted on the end.
At first I was in denial, I told myself I'd seen it wrong. Then two lines of dialogue between Rey and Leia confirm it, although interestingly I believe those lines were ADR so possibly weren't originally intended. I wonder if there was a meeting and they decided to kill that character just to kill his influence on the franchise, around the time Trevorrow was let go for arguing that he wanted that character alive no doubt.
There are many telling details that the actor did not know their character was going to die, despite the denials of this by almost everybody involved. It seems obvious to me they didn't, that their reaction was my reaction when they first saw the film - denial to anger (pointed in Johnson's direction).
As I'm sure you know denial and anger are the first two stages of grief.
Anyway, this is coming from a writer: I have never seen/heard a less dramatically effective screenplay as I did when I went to see this film. The position it has left the Star Wars franchise in is irrecoverable without even more stretches of logic.
Rian Johnson is a poor writer. I've looked at more of his other work since, I had only seen Looper which I thought was fairly decent until the third act when it 'diverged'. His other stuff though? Meh. Who said he was good writer? Why did they trust him with this and can't anyone at Lucasfilm read?
No more Star Wars, I don't really fancy an Indy V, you've basically just killed your fanbase. I will always have the original trilogy of films, the perfect Empire Strikes Back, the not so perfect Return Of The Jedi and the original film. I didn't care about those characters because I was first introduced to them as a child, I cared about them because they were likable and their decisions made sense - I could get behind the characters.
There's no getting behind the characters in this, they all act illogically and inconsistently. People tell me this is the 'SJW agenda'. I had to Google SJW. I've followed the back and forth and given my opinion for the past six months. I'm over anger now and I'm at acceptance.
RIP Star Wars
