Disney have done a great Job...

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2017)

I went to see this yesterday, initial thoughts were I was not sure if I liked it or not. After thinking about it and sleeping on it, I have come to the conclusion that Disney has yes ruined the franchise.
I am not going to give away anything here and I would say it is worth a watch if you are "open" to the story going in a weird direction which I found ended up being completely unnecessary. Considering the actual "story line" .. well its a rehashed version of the ESB and the ROTJ in one film and its not been done well I may add, feels like the writers had Disney sat behind them telling them to rewrite anything that felt too Star Warsy....
One of the main reasons I wanted to watch this film was to see some character development and some plot definition as there were gaping holes left in the "force awakens"... there was None, Zip nothing at all to add from this film. If anything and without giving anything away it produces more questions that it answers, not only that, the questions it produces are stupid... like there are multiple times where you think "when has that ever happened ever in the star wars universe" - you will know when you see them.
You can see the direction Disney are going with the franchise and its not good... not in the slightest... in fact Disney actually goes out of its way and tries damn hard to destroy everything you have loved about the franchise, they have done a great Job doing that. I suppose they want to kill the story to allow them to do what they want with it.. If you are a 70/80's kid this film is not for you.
