Not My Star Wars

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 2017)

"Let the past die."
That statement by Kylo Ren in the movie is a summary of what is wrong with The Last Jedi. What you have done with Luke Skywalker is unforgivable. Luke Skywalker is the hero of Star Wars. You turned him into a coward and then a sacrificial lamb.
I appreciate what you are trying to do: open up Star Wars for a new generation. But that doesn't mean that you have to spit in the face of the previous generation. The film ended on a note of hope. I do hope that JJ Abrams returns Star Wars to its former glory with IX. Rian Johnson should not be allowed to direct another Star Wars film ever, and yet Disney is giving him his own trilogy to direct? Disgraceful. Everyone came to see The Last Jedi with high hopes after TFA. Now we are simply frustrated.
I will see IX, with hopes that Abrams can rescue the story from the damage that Rian Johnson has done.
