Star Wars: The Last Straw

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

Just what we always wanted, a 40 year old saga with heroic archetypes and a good vs evil story with an enormous religious-like following to be utterly deconstructed in some hyper self-aware meta episode of community set in space! Honestly, you just have to be really intelligent to understand how refreshing it was to subversively upend all the beloved tropes and characters Star Wars has brought to us for generations in a giant middle finger to the fans and the lore! I loved how the defiantly optimistic, brave and loyal Luke of the original trilogy was replaced by a disgusting space cow milking hobo who almost killed his nephew because he was afraid! Nailed it! I don't even need to touch all of the other entirely necessary, coherent and cohesive plot points and almost fourth wall breaking events! Seriously I'm so glad that Rian didn't watch the OT, the prequels or apparently even TFA because how else we would get such a FRESH cinematic experience?
Laughing at people defending this movie. The same people that say it was refreshing to have such an (apparently} important character like Snoke unexpectedly killed off like that without a hint of a backstory will be the same ones defending the decision to reveal he was just a force apparition all along in the final installment.
Please Rian if you're reading this direct a sequel to The Lord of the Rings. I can't wait to watch Frodo and the gang become unlikeable husks of their former selves with zany finger snapping zingers and to see how the Fellowship's journey ultimately ended up to be just a huge waste of time!
