You're right fanboys, it destroys the last Star Wars

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2018)

For those who absolutely hated the last Force Awakens gibberish by JJ Abrams, this movie borders on a miracle: how can anyone pick up from where so many unlikable, moronic characters have been spawned? Well apparently Rian Johnson, that's who. He turns everyone into an acting genius, with the deepest character development I've seen in ages. Even an unredeemably childish Kylo Ren becomes some kind of grunge rock star. Genius. Johnson even takes on the unbearable cute animal props. It almost seems like Disney told him 'hey we need X,Y,Z in there but you can do whatever you want with the story other than that.' Oh boy, he sure did.
It's basically as if the characters woke up and asked themselves what they were doing in this fake universe, and trying to adjust to it as much as they could.
The only thing that is lost from the earlier Lucas versions is the grandiosity and the spectacle of the giant war machines, planets, etc. Hell, this is not really a Star Wars movie at all. It's someone who had to take the precept and made it his own movie. A good one at that.
