A disappointment ...

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2017)

Hollywood has turned this once epic Sci-Fi franchise into a PC/chick-flick melodrama of the worst kind. Its gone from a swashbuckling space adventure with action heros to a "PC-Chick flick. From the "oh so strong" female leads to the "token" Black hero, this just reeks of Hollywood Elitist PC progressive crap. I'd rather watch one of the 1st three original episodes (4, 5, 6) than watch this polluted crap again. This seems to be a theme in Hollywood. Take a great franchise and then destroy it. J.J. Abrams did it with Mission Impossible and Star Trek. Now this abortion ... terribly sad. I can't see them rescuing this miasma of garbage no matter how many more "Episodes" they throw out there. This was written and designed with ONE thing in mind. Appeal to as many segments of the general population on a personal level so as to hopefully be a big box office smash. This is far FAR away from the films which George Lucas so expertly crafted.
A huge disappointment. Another franchise has died ... rest in peace, Star Wars.
