Goes and goes merry-go-round

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2020)

It became a sort of new hobby of mine. "Reviewing this title", this specific one, since for some reason they won't post my review. Anyway, back to it.
The 8th episode is the best of the sequel Star Wars trilogy. Unlike The Force Awakens it's not indulging ridiculous fandom by copying the original trilogy, instead The Last Jedi introduces new concepts and ideas despite of hateful fanboys who ridiculed even George Lucas' prequels which had nothing wrong with them.
And the 9th... don't get me started on the 9th. Clusterfrick (to put it mildly) is what it was since J. J. wanted to compromise and destroyed not only new good things but all the old as well turning Star Wars into cartoon basically.
Lots of viewers complained how some things Rian Johnson included were "wrong" and "corrupting the lore", but you know what? No. If you worry about the lore and integrity of the vast universe collectively created by tons of books, games and so on you should blame Disney that destroys everything it touches.
However it makes sense they ignored the majority of "uncanonical" stuff leaving only the 6 movies to work with. It's easier, wider audience to get to buy the tickets etc.
Here is the thing: what I personally like about the first 6 episodes the most is the personal approach. Yeah, it's epic, there is the prophecy, the chosen one..., but (even though the force is strong in Skywalker family) the characters didn't seem like omnipotent demigods/superheroes, they faced their fears and we believed them. The 8th is trying just that by making Luke broken and Rey all alone and confused. Plus, not everyone should be someone's daughter/son/grandparent, sometimes heredity is not all that important.
And it's like Luke said to Rey "the force doesn't belong to the Jedi", same goes for the story, this magical world Lucas created long time ago.
