Episode 8: The Last Movie ... has fulfilled its destiny

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2017)

With this movie I say farewell to my beloved franchise. I have followed the saga and its Universe since I was born. Like many of you, blood runs deep through me when it comes to Star Wars; but Disney has gone to far with Episode 8 (I wanted to leave at times or vomit). TFA was a crappy reboot movie of a somewhat questioned franchise (all thanks to old fanboys of the originals hating the prequels just because they had to see new stuff&CGI; which I prefer if they enhance my experience). Yet Rogue One brought some great intense depth to very important events around the time the original trilogy takes place.
Lets start by saying my biggest concern with TFA was its lack of originality, which TLJ has a bit too much of, hence needless to say I had some expectations with the latest installment. Some where met, like: 1)amazing space battles, 2)ground battles, 3)Luke & Rey and 4)Surprisingly Snoke. The rest is a completely unintelligible mix of scenes and absurd comedic script. Just to name a few: 1)Stupid jokes with Poe&Hux at the beginning, 2)Leia surviving in space & reaching to the ship, 3)Phasma, 4)Yoda's return is disgusting and insulting, 5)Killing of the Jedi with no explanations, 6)Killing Snoke, 7)Killing Ackbar just so we can have another female lead with Holdo, 8)Mutiny, 9)Luke's weird death, 10)Rey's parents, 11)Cruiser chase 12) Lame Kids with rebellion rings, 13) No R-2 (all in favor of BB-8 rise) and (biggest BS) 14)Stupid Canto-Bait subplot with Finn (Imo he had to die in TFA), Rose (which I actually liked her character) and an awkward looking hobo (The plan fails btw) in some futuristic Vegas Casino.
Lightsaber battles where fun to watch, but wouldn't watch them again. AND OF COURSE the biggest concern with the movie: PORGS!!! They are AWESOME (Im not being sarcastic). I had fun with these little bird creatures and I approve of them (as with crystal foxes).
Still no explanation about the state of the galaxy and its turmoil. I bet we will get a comic or a new TV series about it just so they can make a quick buck.
Score: Not memorable and nothing new (stick to original or prequel music)
People praise Mark's acting, I found it just ok. Daisy is better than in TFA but still "meh" and Adam is probably the best actor of all the cast&crew (and it shows). The rest are "ok". No one is getting an Oscar for their performance.

I'm no director or screenwriter, but there has to be some sort of control over these new directors and writers taking over (Where is Pablo Hidalgo when we need him?). Who seriously thought Rian Johnson has the ability to carry on this monumental task?! His movies suck!!! They are horrible to say the least and now we have to expect a new trilogy from this guy? I will not be watching that for sure. Other concern is the critics: did they watch the same movie I just saw? How is it that great? Attack of the Clones was better structured than this. And sadly, Star Wars is just an ATM now working exclusively for Disney. I would expect from such a respected and famous company to treat their property with love&care and not burn it to the ground as they have done with 7&8. But in the end CASH is all that matters.
3/10. 1pt for the few things I liked, 1pt because of Porgs and 1pt due that BF2 odd looking compass appears.
Verdict: Go Watch under your own Risk. Im sticking with episodes 1-6 & Rogue One + TV shows as cannon. Everything related to sequels is utterly dead to me. I won't return for IX.
