The First Review

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2017)

Why would you (RJ + Disney) want to be part of a franchise movie and destroy everything that people loved about it.
We all grew up and loved episod 4, 5, 6 and we learned to accept 1, 2 and 3. They all had their moments of ups and downs but stayed within the universe.
7 actually made me happy again, the storyline wasn't original but who cared, we were back where it all started and the questions left behind was good enough to keep us intrigued for another 2 years.
Han Solo was dead, how would Luke react when Rey arrived, what have he been up to, how would Rey develop, who is Snoke, who where the Knighs of Ren, who is Phasma, how will Kylo Ren become more powerful after loosing to a beginner, even though the story had holes it still was entertaining.
After watching 8 which by all means was a beatiful movie, I felt confused.
What went wrong here? The story and side story was a mess, this I can accept but what they did was killing everything that was made to be the foundation of Star Wars movies. The mystery, history thats been built up in 7 movies, thats atleast 15 hours of film being destroyed in 2 hours and 33 min. All because they wanted a reset so the fight between Rey and Ren could start from "zero" and add some worhtless comical scenes in.
Let the past burn, I would like it changed to let the 8 + RJ burn so we can get the movie we all deserve, but I am afraid its to late for that.
