TLJ - or How To Make TFA look half good!

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2017)

I´m re-reviewing this down to 2 stars, as in to rationalize or justify my almost 3 hours torture session at the theater. Wow, Rian Johnson! You achieved it! You turned JJ´s disaster into an acceptable Star Wars sequel just by going so low with this atrocious piece of crap, so bad you deserve a new category of Oscar just for you - the "what am I doing here" directors award! And another 2 for Kathleen "Most Evil Sith" Kennedy and Disney "Real Death Star" Studios - biggest letdown in the gallaxy and greates achievement in destroying the undestructible.
It´s not that I´m a die hard fan in disappointment or nostalgia. This is really, really bad cinema in all senses. Technical, storyline, scritp, character, whatever. CGI sucks, continuity is awful, dialogs are stupid. And so on. Everything is so absurdly flawed I´m still in awe as to how could this pass up as it did. Almost nothing is saved here whether you´re just now getting to know Star Wars for the first time in your life, or you´ve been spoilt by the original, timeless, deep and rich trilogy.
That´s the state of the world: people are picked to great responsibilities without serious consideration. How could this crap come to be, from begining to end??? George Lucas deserves his share too for selling his soul do the devil corporation. I get it the sum was obscene, it´s hard to pass up and money talks and all... but he already had more than enough for half a dozen incarnations.
Maybe he didn´t know they´d take the Star Wars magic to the point of threatening his original masterpeice. But he´s still to blame, regardless, because how do you sell your biggest achievement to a souless company like that. Ego, ignorance and incompetence can destroy anything.
So if you want the real thing, the magic, the inspiration - stick to the original trilogy. If you still want an original story, some good, developed, decently treated characters and don´t mind a few goofs, Jar Jar, bad CGI and lots of stupid animals everywhere, you can endulge the prequels. At your own risk.
But forget this new trilogy, star Wars this isn´t anymore!
