JJ Abrams Needed To Direct This Movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2018)

I think Lucasfilm and Disney have kind of lost their way recently, they entrusted the Star Wars franchise to Rian Johnson, his last movie was Looper in 2012, someone else who hasn't directed much in the last five years so I can't undertand why Lucasfilm and Disney would entrust the Star Wars franchise to someone like Rian Johnson.
The Last Jedi wasn't a bad film but it could have been a lot better, and it has enraged a lot of Star Wars fans who would have liked to have seen Star Wars go in the same direction where The Force Awakens left it, I personally would have liked to have seen Luke Skywalker give the same training he received off Yoda and passed onto Rey, I would have liked it if Luke would have left the Island and to have seen a nice Master and Padawan relationship start between Luke and Rey as they take on the First Order in The Last Jedi and into Episode IX as well.
It would also been nice if Luke was revealed to be Rey's long lost father and that she too came from Skywalker blood but there are so many missed opportunities to make The Last Jedi a fan favourite and I can see why Star Wars fans raised money to re-make The Last Jedi.
Whereas The Force Awakens in 2015 and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016 were brilliant movies and saw Lucasfilm hit new heights, The Last Jedi in 2017 and Solo: A Star Wars Story seems to be following Lucasfilm and Disney on a downward spiral and I hope Episode IX and the new Anthology films in 2019 and 2020 can revive Lucasfilm's aspirations and plans for the Star Wars franchise.
