Disney is getting strong

Rating: 2/10 (13 December 2017)

Disney is getting strong on the series, both in good and bad. The movie was very entertaining and delivered lots of nostalgia for an old fan of the originals like myself. The movie made me feel great suprise in many parts, as there was so much new eye candy to be discovered. It kinda makes me understand all the positive critics reviews out there.
HOWEVER... the faults of the movie are too obvious. Instead of the godfather type epic moments that the fans of the originals loved, we get a modern marvel style disney action movie, with too many goofy jokes. Damn I wish they would have opted more for credibility instead of cheap laughs.
As a die hard fan I wanted to love the movie, but Im forced to admit the Lukes death was biggest piece of bad writing in movie history. It makes simply no sense that he was for example not killed at the battlefield by Bens saber. Death of the biggest action hero of all time should be made epic no matter how. Death for simply exhaustion... how ridiculous. I feel they tried to make it meaningfull so hard to convince themselves that it was a good choice, it came out even more awfull. Just proves nothing is sacret and the movie business is exactly that - a business.
Also Luke standing all the lazer fire from the walkers was so powerfull scene, just soon to be told to the cheering viewer, that this actually happened just because he was a hologram. What a let down!
