Whatever happens, the whole thing was ruined for me when they killed off Han, named Han's son Ben instead of Luke's, made Luke a grumpy old man that somehow doesn't give a damn about anything now that he's older, and made Rey basically learn expert-tier force tactics in the span of a few days, with no training whatsoever. Also, I've heard rumors of Lando being revealed as bisexual. I guess that helps explain his dashing cape. But what else does it really do for the character? I mean, I guess it doubles his odds of getting laid. But aside from that...

You can't fix the slop of 7 and 8 without making 9 an absolute and complete caricature of itself.

They're going to abolish the jedi (luke will be the last Jedi) and Rey is going to start a new force order/religion called Skywalker and they will be called skywalkers.
*cue music* There, I saved you two hours. |

It is quite astounding how badly they mismanaged Star Wars. They had the perfect opportunity. The fan base was ready for a fresh start and they completely squandered every ounce of good will.
All they needed was one more adventure with the old gang to set the tone and it was all hyperspace. However, agendas were pushed instead of story arcs. |

I mean the moral of Forrest Gump was "If you do what you're told by authority figures and follow the ultimate authority (mr. Bible) you can succeed even if you're reeruned. Meanwhile if you are a hippy it was because you were molested and will probably die of AIDS." Still, I love that movie. The biggest problem with the Disney SW (and TLJ in particular) is the characters suck and the 'on the nose' social lecturing that takes place. |

The problem with a lot of writing today is that it just whistles past logic whenever it’s inconvenient. When your characters can’t answer simple questions about what is motivating their actions the film usually falls apart or rings untrue (like The Last Jedi). I said it at the time TLJ was released: who are we supposed to care about anymore and why? I’ll see Episode IX, but I’ll see it with a big shrug. |

Yeah that's been all over Facebook for the last 48 hours. It has predictably garnered MUCH meh.
And scorn! |
