Ep.8 Eternal massacre

Rating: 2/10 (7 September 2018)

When a franchise is sold, you as a seller always bakes in som perks. The characters are one of those perks. I bet whatever merchandise is sold involving Luke, Han, Yoda and the rest of the backbone characters - the profit lands in George Lucas hands. Whatever new character that joins the story belong to Disney. Simple math here is, use the old characters to draw the crowd, but don't make them significant to the story - give them some old lines everyone's seen or heard before and then wipe them out - they are not moneymaking - dishem out.
I can buy this scenario, what I can't buy is making these heroes of old into something not even likeable.. Are the new characters, the new heroes so abysmal, so poorly developed, so unlikeable that the final option is to destroy the old beloved ones to Make the new ones likeable?
I guess so, I mean That's whats been done here. Did it work?
Not really..
This film has put me off StarWars for all eternity. I won't take my kids to see whats coming, I won't touch the merch. This is complete and utter failure, I have no idea How this project ever got greenlighted. What a waste.
I won't even touch on the story - it's broken in so many places I dunno where to begin.
You know mr or mrs Disney, one of the largest problems in the world today is that the people creating the problem always seem to be the ones that's supposed to fix it - hence the hole just gets deeper and deeper. Do the world a favour and sell this badboy to a real filmmaking studio. You know, someone whos in it for the right reasons. For the art, for the craft, for the storytelling. Its the right thing to do.
