Rian Johnson is an arrogant hack who doesn't understand Star Wars

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2017)

Truly sad to see Rian Johnson handed a golden egg only to destroy it. This movie is only successful due to the coattails of The Force Awakens. Rian, don't think people like this movie on its own merits. They watch and rate it based upon the charactrs created by JJ Abrams and Kasdan. You created nothing, and ruined a storyline. You benched the most important character Luke, castrated his character, and foolishly killed him off without ever utilizing his potential to make this an epic film. You stole almost every scene you wrote from Empire and ROTJ. The Hoth opening replaced by salt, facing Snoke (Luke and the emperor) Dagobah (the island,which could have worked if done right) everything. You added stupid humor to try to placate Avengers and Guardians fans, throwing the light saber, the Jakku joke, Poe at the beginning sequence of act one. Star Wars is not a cheap flippant comic story but a serious epic with Luke as one of the most serious characters.
Then you wasted our time with a prequel worthy Jar Jar sequence at the Casino. That whole side story was useless and actually made me angry. Total crap. There should have been one team of writers for the trilogy, bad on you Kathleen Kennedy, you should have known better. But Rian Johnson not only does not deserve his own trilogy, which will undoubtedly be crap, he should become a plumber or a janitor and get out of making films. There is no excuse for this wreck of a film when you were handed a golden goose. You blew the Rey storyline, killed off another great character Snoke, Like Lucas did with Darth Maul who was the only good thing in TPM. And where were the knights of REN? Wow. No battle between Snoke and Luke, no knights of Ren, and Luke dies? Really? I'm not sure someone trying to ruin it could have added worse plot lines and twists. The only thing good was the Rey/Kylo dynamic, which again was created by Abrams and Kasdan. The dark side island scene with Rey was also a useless waste of time. Please stop making movies. The writing in Hollywood is so bad I almost don't want to see anything anymore. I just keep hoping against hope that intelligent creative people will be able to do something, but to no avail, the stupid reign supreme.
