The Empire Struck Back Again

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2018)

So apparently Star Wars can't seem to get out of it's own way when it comes to story telling. They keep rehashing the same old story lines as they appear to move forward. The parallels in The Last Jedi compared to The Empire Strikes Back are so hard to miss that even the most novice fan would be left wonder why they told this story again. You may as well call Rey the female version of Luke because their stories are exactly the same. Both grow up on a barren desert planet. Both have this strange gift they know nothing about. Both seek guidance from a master but they have to return to face someone whom they try to turn back to the light while their friends are dying in a desperate battle.
This is just the first 3 movies all over again. The blew up another "Deathstar" in the first one. I mean why not because they have already had to blow up 2 before so why not another one. The rebels face a counter attack by whatever evil empire is operating at the moment. You have this Jedi who seems to keep following the same journey. So the next movie Rey will magically be a master without any story line as to how she got to this point. There will be a final showdown between her and Kai Lo. The idiot Rebels will overcome all odds to defeat whatever evil empire is in charge at the moment, although they can never seem to hold power for very long. If you just watch the first 3 movies made in this franchise then you have seen the whole dam story line and there is no need to see anything else.
