If George Lucas was dead he would be spinning in his grave

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2019)

I grew up with Star Wars. I loved the universe, the movies, books, games, characters, lore, music (long live John Williams!). Ok, yes, EP1 and 2 were a let down, but still I enjoyed them and they had some great scenes and a story to go somewhere. And Episode 3 was amazing and wrapped things up in an incredible way.
When I heard Disney bought Star Wars, I was ecstatic!
Then, Episode 7. Wow, what a train wreck. Really? Just a bigger Death Star? When they attacked the new "Death Star" I literally yelled at the screen: Do NOT fly your X-wings down a trench to destroy the Death Star. Then, they did. Wow, what a rip off. But then, everyone said, "wait, wait! Episode 7 is just setting up the awesomeness that will be Episode 8, patience Padawan!"
Episode 8 was SO bad, that all the other Star Wars movies now look bad. Rian Johnson slapped the lore and the fans across the face like a drunk macho man jackass with a $5 hooker. He said: "your Snoke theory sucks" and Kathleen Kennedy proudly proclaimed: "The force is female". Imagine George Lucas and Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford wearing t-shirts that said "The force is male" to a gathering. Yea, offensive like that. And her attitude showed in the story. The men are idiots who need to step aside for the "oh so smart and in command" women. What a joke the whole story was, and it didn't even go anywhere.
All the people who told us that EP7 was setting up for EP8 had no idea. Even the few mysteries from EP7 were casually tossed aside like garbage.
I loved Star Wars, saw the movies at midnight, read the books, played the games, bought the toys, collected the comics.
I can't believe I'm even saying this, but I'm not going to see Episode 9. I may or may not read the plot on line when it comes out, but I'm not going to see the next movie. A sad, sad day.... Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson are not Star Wars fans. They needed to be no where near this story, no where near at all...
