How good it COULD HAVE been...

Rating: 1/10 (4 March 2018)

Man o man... As a true Star Wars fan, I was extremely excited about the trailer and after the ripoff of TFA I had regained trust with trailers from TLJ that things would get better... The trailers suggest that Rey gets a kick ass hard training by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, who is determined to restore the peace in the Galaxy after the will of the Force brought Rey to him just after the First Order blasted so many planets to dust... But no, he is an afraid old man and is whining all movie long that he wont do anything. I thought he would have discovered that being a Grey Jedi, fyi Jedi that find a balance between dark and light, is the right way to bring balance in the Force and that he would learn Rey to do so and eventually get Kylo Ren to understand. But NO. Disney doesn't give a crack. It's all about children watching that want to buy the toys.
I hoped there would be some good and plausible reveal about why Rey is so extremely talented in using the Force. Like she was the sole survivor of Kylo destroying the temple, the twin sister of Kylo and that Luke has used the Force to manipulate memories of Han, Leia and Kylo to keep her safe after the turn of Kylo and the rise of the First order. But enough of my broken dreams.
Rey was just a skunk daughter, because it's so politically correct and good for children to learn that someone can be an important hero without having a certain background. That's apparently more important than the Skywalker legacy.
FORCE BREAKDOWN
Mastering using and understanding the Force takes YEARS of training and Luke only got fast on it because he was the son of The Chosen One and therefore extremely Force sensitive. This Rey can do anything just because she is Force sensitive. That's not how the Force works, our dear Han would say. It rejects all of the training Luke needed, the whole Jedi order from the prequels and makes it some sort of randomness WHICH IT ISN'T. It couldn't believe it. I just couldn't. Force Facetime calling between Kylo and Rey. If only my previously mentioned idea that they were twins should be true, BUT NO. This is NOT how the Force works.
LUKE SKYWALKER HUMILIATED
He hasn't learned anything from his isolation on the sacred Jedi Island, he wont help the galaxy that is being destroyed by the Dark Side. He's a grumpy old man that got bested by a little girl called Rey in a stick fight. The final scene was impressive and showed of his developed Force powers as would the son of Anakin Skywalker after 40 years of being a Jedi. AND THEN IT KILLS HIM. Man o man.
THEY COULDN'T GIVE PRINCESS LEIA A PROPER GOODBYE
Carrie Fisher, such a shame she had to pass. They had the chance to bring something up to give her a royal and honorable goodbye, giving her life for the Resistance. But no, she will just get a mention in the next opening crawls. Disney has no respect for any Star Wars aspect.
PREQUEL DISRESPECT WITH YODA APPEARING
I don't know what kind of fan you are, but the prequels aren't so bad anymore after SW VII and VIII. They put in the original trilogy Yoda ghost burning down a Jedi tree. Anakin calling to Luke to encourage him to save the galaxy, his nephew and train Rey would be the right thing to do. Emphasizing that Vader died a Jedi. The prequels were only mentioned once telling that the Jedi suck because of letting Darth Sidious take over. Alright, thanks.
OTHER CHARACTERS
Snoke was a real cool Sith in the beginning, humiliating Kylo for being weak. And now he just died. Kylo killing him was a good move, after all Sith also hate each other, but WHY NOW ALREADY?! We needed more background and him training Kylo in the Dark Side, keeping him there. Now Kylo is supreme leader with some weird loser admiral at his side. Finn kissing some random Asian girl while being in love with Rey. Poe killing Phasma, it's actually not even worth mentioning. Poe is okay but him taking over the Resistance is just making it seem weak.
R.I.P. STAR WARS, KILLED BY DISNEY
George Lucas is laughing now, for being criticized for the Prequels. You now know what a bad Star Wars movie is, ungrateful fans, he grins. Disney just destroyed Star Wars, the Force, the Skywalkers, everything. I can honestly say I'm very, very sad about it, as a lifelong fan. And I feel really sorry for all other diehard fans that lose their precious galaxy for the sake of Disney's hunger for money.
