Great special effects but not the good old Star Wars

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2018)

These days thanks to technique and special effects you can create and continue what once George Lucas started.
So I rated the movie with a 7 for the nice scenery, special effects and alien characters created.
But I consider the movie a disappointment, because of the overreacting characters and everything not being the same anymore since George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012.
I mean you can clearly make the difference that it's not George Lucas's magic hand anymore.
All those old scenes where MAster Yoda was appearing, all those past great landscapes are not the same anymore.
Old landscapes and all the old characters gave to the movie a certain weight and put accent on characters.
Even though the new film has action and great special effects nothing is the same anymore.
All those winter battle scenes from the Battle of Hoth with the AT-AT's are long gone.
I hope they will stop shooting and continuing because they will just spoil what Lucas created and Star Wars will just fade away.
Unless Lucas will start directing again because what he did cannot be continued by others.
