Doomed to fail

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2017)

Of course TLJ was a bad movie because TFA set it up to be a bad movie. J.J. had a clean slate to work with...George Lucas had his hands tied in the prequels because certain events had to take place in a certain order. Like I said...J.J. Abrams did not have that problem. It made no sense what so ever to not have Luke play a major role in TFA...the opening scene should have had him in it for goodness sakes. Anyone who saw episodes 4,5, and 6 knows that Luke would not go off on an island all alone for God's sake. Luke was a warm hearted person who loved family...only makes sense that he would have fallen in love with someone and had a family of his own. That old law of the Jedi not being able to love died with Luke...look how powerful the offspring of a Jedi turned out to be for goodness sakes. My plot for TFA would have been the movie opens with Luke at the funeral of his wife..at his side would have been his two 8 year old twins....a girl(grows up and is played by Daisy is fine) and a boy played by whoever. His daughter would have been good of course but his son would have always been 50/50...Luke never really understanding his son. Then you could have introduced Ky Lo Ren and from birth he would have been the bad seed of Han Solo. After the death of his wife, Luke and his son grow further apart and we see Luke's son becoming closer and closer with his fun yet troubled cousin Ky Lo Ren. They could have build the story off of that and at some point Luke's son and Ky Lo Ren join the dark side and become very powerful and it's all about trying to get them back to the good side of the force. Oh well...it should have been something like that, but it wasn't...and it SUCKS!!!!
