Worst Film & Director of the Saga

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2017)

Everyone has already said everything there is to say about how bad this piece of trash movie is, So I will just say that I myself am one of the thousands who were insulted and let down by how Rian Johnson has dismantled characters and story lines that fans from around the world have loved all their lives, and in their stead, replaced them with sad, disjointed and pathetic versions of themselves, all in the name of "going in a new, fresh directions that hasnt been done before in the SW universe".
Which translates to - He made his own SW movie, not for the fans, but for himself, so that he could impress Disney and Kennedy and the war machine that has now become Lucasfilm LTD, and show them that, like Kylo says, "let the past die, kill it if you have to", and make a movie for the sometimes fan, and not the die hards.
SW for the millenial generation basically.
People who would rather have a cheap laugh and a dumb joke, rather than a good story and intriguing dialogue and characters.
And in place of those things, prefer visuals & hack jokes for their ant sized attention spans, to keep them satisfied and wanting more, until the movie is over and they can return to their "real" lives on Social Media, making and exchanging giffs and memes, etc.
The most shocking thing Ive read so far from is from someone who said "I loved this movie because I actually understood it and didnt have to watch any of the other star wars movies that I havent seen to know what was going on".
To some that equates to success, to me, it is complete and utter failure on so many levels.
The rad thing about star wars to me, has been that it has always been something I could look to have in common with someone, and in that way, we both knew and could discuss what it meant to us and why we loved it.
A "secret handshake" of sorts if you will.
And yes, I know and am completely aware of how commercial and global SW is, but for fans of the lore and the expanded universe, its been something we could hold in high regard and esteem and share it with other like minded people who were also passionate about it and wanted to believe in what they stood for to us.
Now The Last Jedi has turned SW into a slap stick, fart joke, logic-less mess, with things happening that dont feel like star wars and dont feel like what Ive believed in my whole life.
Which seems ironic to me, seeing that Force Awakens had to be re-written and shoot numerous times to make it "feel" like a star wars movie.
Same with Rogue One, but way more so.
And they already got rid of the guys who were directing Solo, due to "creative differences".
Same with the director for episode 9.
So to tell all those people they werent making movies that felt like SW, but to let rian johnson have & keep this garbage of a movie, despite huge re-shoots The Last Jedi had to undergo aswell, is just an insult.
Gareth Edwards would have made such a stellar movie if he wrote and directed it.
Hell, Lucas would have made a masterpiece compared to what is the Last Jedi.
This is what happens when people who's only agenda is to turn a profit make decisions, instead of people who actually want something palpable and sustainable.
The Dark Side that is Disney and Rian Johnson have won, its a sad day for the Rebellion and legions of True Fans.
