The lost magic

Rating: 2/10 (1 February 2018)

Well, this is my first review on IMDB. I get the feeling that the 10s are put here to counter the 1s and the 1s for the 10s. Please folks, this is neither.
I am 38 years old now. When I think of my childhood I think of Star Wars. I was completely lost in the first three movies, I mean that in a good way. As a child I spent countless hours playing with the Star wars-figures, we were quite poor back then but I always got one for christmas and one for my birthday, All the money I managed to save up for myself was spent on different Lukes, Hans, Darths and Yodas. This was my world, I was spellbound, I knew every line in the movies and I never felt more at home than when I was in that galaxy far far away.
Now I've never read any of the SW-comics, never ventured further and read scripts or books about Star Wars - the first three films was just enough for me, my own imagination took over from there. Of course I've seen the prequels - of course I was disappointed, but after watching the last Jedi I literally got a shot of pain right in my heart. Everything was turned upside-down. I saw Luke Skywalker again on a huge movie-screen - but it wasn't him? I don't know who that was?

The world we live in today is a mess, thereÂ´s problems everywhere.. Why are we bringing our world into Star Wars? It was never there in the first place. There was no greed in the making of A new Hope - it was just love, love for film-making and love for telling the greatest space-saga ever written.
When I'm trying to put my head around it, this is what's missing, it's been missing since the last credits rolled out of the screen on Return of the Jedi and it reached it's climax in the Last Jedi.
