It’s crazy how little respect they had for the original crew in hindsight. Luke, Han, and Leia never share ONE scene together in the whole trilogy.
The same Luke Skywalker who laid his life down to redeem DARTH VADER of all people tried to kill a kid in his sleep over bad dreams and visions of the dark side.
Anakin Skywalker’s redemption and self sacrifice means nothing since Palpatine just came back to life anyway.
All of the rebellion’s hard fought accomplishments and sacrifice over the last trilogy was completely undone between trilogies so those victories could be given to Kathleen Kennedy’s self insert who never went through the blood sweat and tears to earn it. What happened to the hero’s journey? There was ZERO planning behind this trilogy.
It really speaks to Disney’s inability to properly handle any property that isn’t a happily-ever-after fairy tale. Star Wars is a legacy based property based around thousands of years worth of mythology and morality based storytelling traditions that universally resonates across all cultures. You can’t write Star Wars the same way you would approach a happily-ever-after fairy tale.
I’m blown away with Disney’s profound moral disconnect from these characters and what this story represents. This is what happens when you have too many corporate suits and twitter hipsters running the entertainment business. These people are so morally deficient that they can’t even put themselves in a headspace to write virtuous characters.
They think they are too enlightened to tell a good versus evil story, which lets you know exactly which side of the conflict they are on.
The only concession I’ll make is that none of the actors and actresses deserved to get bullied in real life because of these movies. Kelly Marie Tran, Daisy Ridley, and Boyega were never the problem. It’s the Mouse.
