A film to make fans cry

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2017)

When I walking out from a theatre in 1977 after watching Star Wars I was happy to see a film I can relate to. When the second film came out, I was really excited and couldn't wait to see the third installment and care for those enthralling and beloved characters I learned to love.
When the trilogy of prequels came out. believe me, I was OK with them. I know that George Lucas really tried too hard to please hardcore fans. I have respect for the man because he allowed fans to create a big and expanding Universe for the saga. And then... Episode 7 and 8 hammered everybody's head. This new episode in particular, was an insult to me and to other fans of this beautiful universe and was a spit in the eye of Lucas and to the legacy of the main characters. The writers and director of this film stomped on all literature, comics, animated series, and videogames that always had the decency of protecting of the canon. That was the only rule imposed by Lucas to anyone wanting to create a fanfic or a novel: Never to break the canon. And what's the first thing Disney did? They broke the canon and sent the Expanded Universe to the trash bin.
After the film ended a man asked me: 'Oh, good sir, are you crying because Luke was killed?'
I replied: No, Mister, I cry because they've killed an entire saga.
