Metaphor Wars - Episode VIII

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2018)

The Sith Lord, Darth Rian, spits in the faces of supporters of the greatest ongoing saga of all time, collectively kicks their groins, pokes their collective eyes, punches their unprepared stomachs, shocks them all to near-death with an unexpected burst of Force Lightning, and finally takes his undeserved seat on the throne of a false Empire while cackling like a madman. Seated upon the ashes of the Great History of Star Wars, having burned it all to the ground, he laughs mockingly at the Grand Space-Opera that he has destroyed - one that others who came before him had worked so hard to create and defend, with honor and integrity.
That, my friends, is the end of that chapter of Metaphor Wars. Let me tell you how it has come to this, though I suspect that if you have been paying attention all along, you surely must already know.
"He is in danger."
"From the Sith?"
"...From himself...Rian has turned to the Dark Side...He has become a very great threat."
Just as Grand Master Jedi Lucas felt after being betrayed by the Conglomerate 'Disneous', supporters of the Way of the Force felt that they were "...deceived by a lie. We all were." And so we stood there in disbelief, unable to accept what was happening all around us, just as the Viceroy of the Trade Federation once did:
"But, Episode VIII is over! Lord Rian...promised us peace! AHH!!!"
And so, by Lightsaber, our hearts, hopes, and expectations were all at once cleft in twain.
The new Dark Lord of the Sith selfishly believes that the past must be destroyed and ultimately erased from existence in order to create his 'something new'. Veiled by his own vanity, he fails to realize that this ignorant and short-sighted ideal can all too easily be turned against him in a more-than-deserved spiteful, and vengeful manner.
In the wake of his betrayal, lifelong supporters of the Way of the Force collectively turn against the traitorous Rian, burning forever from their hearts and minds, the Great Travesty of Episode VIII. And looking to the future, to the horizon, just as Luke Skywalker did, they soon remember that it is more important to focus on where they were, and what they were doing, knowing that there would always be hope for a new break of dawn.
Though supporters of the Way of the Force would live on with heavy hearts, filled with uncertainty as to what the future of the greatest saga in the galaxy would next bring them, never their minds were on the Sith Lord, Rian - neither where he was nor what he was doing - ever again.
