An imperfect glimmer among the darkness of Disney's malice

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

Let's face it. The Last Jedi was decent, a tiny oasis in a wasteland-- but it was a faint heartbeat in a cadaver with maggots feasting on its eyes. Star Wars is dead. Disney Killed Star Wars. George screwed up yes, but it was ineptitude, not purposeful ill intent. Bob Iger, Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams however, are pure malice. They don't want a cultural luminous myth, they want shape-shifting political allegories. They want a venue where they can manipulate youth into their own mold of 'useful'. They don't want a singular vision leading the stories anymore, they want focus groups and popularity bastardizing everything it stands for.
But we will rise to the occasion. This ain't over Disney. Your murder of the franchise will inspire many more to create myths of their own. You will never get what you want. Ever.
Star Wars might have died in the hands of disgusting individuals with voracious appetites and Machiavellian dreams-- but we, people like me, creative people who were inspired by what Lucas, Kershner and Marquand created-- we will create new myths. We won't despair. The legacy of the classic trilogy will instead, be our muse, our lighthouse.
