SPACEBALLS: The Last Jedi

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2017)

First the books. Now Disney ruins the Star Wars movie legacy. YouTube is full of parodies. We don't need a $200 million one. The Last Jedi is painful to watch and it broke my heart. To quote Mark Hamill from the may 2017 Vanity Fair: "after reading Rian Johnson's script for The Last Jedi, Hamill said, "I at one point had to say to Rian, 'I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you've made for this character". It's pretty depressing that Disney and Rian Johnson didn't listen to Mark who's been there since the beginning. It's easier to add jokes and sarcastic remarks to entertain in the moment than to create something intelligent and profound that will last. They took the easy way out, just to be trendy. It's possible to create something original without being silly and taking a dump on the past. Just because it works for some Marvel movies, doesn't mean you should apply that formula everywhere. I hope Ron Howard brings some of the dignity back with Star Wars: Solo.
