The Last Star Wars movie

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2018)

This was absolutely the most disappointing movie for an older Star Wars fan. It started with TFA and its departure from the established timeline of events and character development in the book series that was carefully directed from the Thrawn Trilogy up until Disney bought the franchise. What Johnson did to the heroic moisture farm boy of the original trilogy is mind boggling. He took Luke from hero (not afraid of anything) that stared down a Death Star and took on Darth Vader and then the Emperor; and turned him into a weepy, sniveling coward that hid away from everything and milked sea cows. Pathetic! I won't go on much more. The big mistake in my opinion was bringing back the original cast and the timeline. The first order, the resistance and this awakening of the force would have played much better had it been set further into the future. If it had been two or three generations later after Luke, Han and Leia. The character of Kylo Ren should have been Han and Leia's grandson or later descendant. If Disney would have picked up the story later in the timeline the "old" fans would have been happier. The fans who had developed a passion for the expanded
universe characters over the years (like myself) could have gotten on board with Rey, Finn, Poe etc. All Disney had to do was leave the Expanded Universe characters of Mara Jade, Ben Skywalker, Jacen and Jaina Solo in the history, and picked up a story line after those and things would have been good.
