Again, to those who liked it good for you. That’s fine. I’m not trying to discredit anyone or their likes/dislikes. This is at least one place I feel I can be honest about SW topics.
TLJ killed me. Just gutted me.But to me this is painfully obvious:
Disney Wars has nothing to do with Star Wars. It has no heart, no soul and no reason for being other than as a property to make money. They do not work as proper standalone features and they certainly have no regard for the property they claim to be a part of.The more I think about what I saw is to realize how it essentially gives the middle finger to the universe of SW-to a degree that makes what TFA did look like nothing.
Not even the worst of the EU so blatantly disregarded the way the universe of the story worked. To me The Phantom Menace is Shakespearean in comparison. There. Yes, I really said it.Did anyone else feel as badly as I did?
Signed up just to say, YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES .
I can not accept this Luke. Compassionate Luke is the only canon Luke, and I regurgitated this storyline up while watching it. The new characters are pointless, and the extension of the galactic civil war adds nothing. The camel fart in Phantom Menace is a welcome respite from watching Luke squeeze human shaped alien walrus boobs. When I listen to the soundtrack, I love John Williams, but I make up my own Star Wars stories. I don’t even think of the Disney canon as being a possible future of the OT for what utter failures and awful people it makes of Han, Luke and Leia. The ST to me is as non-canon as Jaws The Revenge is to the original Jaws. Chief Brody did not die of fear of the shark, and Luke did not go away to die after attempted murder of his only progeny. Tragedy and disgrace should not be tacked on to our heroes for the sake of extending a franchise, but should come from an organic tale, like that of Anakin.
