Some thoughts on the new Star Wars

AAaaahhh....

  So, lets get into the meat of this right off the bat,

 "DISNEY RUINED STAR WARRRRSSSSSS!!!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHH"


 No mate, no. Lucas did that with the Prequels. While what he intended to do can be respected, what we wound up with was a train wreck of epic proportions. Everything from scripting to acting to production was awful, the only saving graces were Ewan MeGregor and the SE depts. work.

 Now, 20 some years later, we have new films in the franchise, now owned by Disney. Disney has plans for this Franchise, to squeeze every last nickel out of us. (I'm Canadian, we do not have the penny anymore). While I can admit that this new wave of movies is not what I would have liked, it is what Disney wanted, and I will confess I did enjoy them. I am not going to rave and call them the greatest movies ever, I did enjoy the stories. "Rogue One" has been the best of them so far. A nice retelling of a video game story from the 80s-90s era. Was well done.

   "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" on the other hand, not so much. There appears to be some disjointed story telling going on. The addition of characters that seemed to detract from the story, rather than add to it. Pointless characters that filled a gap and turned for no real reason. Movie scenes that were out of place. Some character endings that were..... not necessary or just "wtf" worthy.
  But the ride along for the movies was decent enough to enjoy them all the same.

  This is Disney's Star Wars now, not Lucas', not yours and not mine. It belongs to a newer generation of fans, and we have to find our place in it.

  Going to touch on one complaint that comes up, and that is the entire "Chase Scene".
 You know... the First Order hunting down the Resistance in space. Without jumping to hyperspace to over take them.

   Going to chalk that one up to ego, the First Order was sure of their kill, and wanted the Resistance to know the fear of their impending doom. If you have the range to sit back and plink away at your enemies, and cause them fear like that, more power to you.

  Then we get to the mutiny and the admiral without a plan part. First of all, a good leader keeps their troops, employees, crew, whomever, informed of their plan. No need to call it secret when lives are at stake. The fucking First Order is slowly killing everyone off, time to be upfront about your plans to escape and live to fight another day. Instead, doubt was inspired and a mutiny attempted. This could have been avoided. I feel this was added to make a point about the new SJW narrative that Disney is aiming for.

 Its a now a Womans Galaxy, and they will do everything to ensure that we know it.


 I will go into some of these again at a later point.
Maybe.

We will see what happens
