Rey could have EASILY become the red herring. An evil turn. A bit of sexiness with her evil. Finn becomes a hardened rebel guerilla. Kylo realizes killing his father was wrong and seeks to redeem himself. Luke could have become a more cynical yet likewise hopeful mentor.
Nope....same stupid crap. They could have taken some risks but really I just dont care what happens.
They could bring back Jar Jar as the Sith Lord behind it all and while interesting...wouldnt be enough.
Yeah....pass
Not to mention the creepy old lady in the goggles thing whatever that was. There are no developed stories, there are no developed characters, it's all just a bunch of crap on the screen to look at.
Even with the original films Lucas heavily mined Jidai Geki films for actual stories, plot lines and characters. Starting with the first film of the remakes, The Force Awakens it was all shit and the only good thing about any of it was once again hearing the roar of a Tie Fighter. Other than that it was nothing and the CGI masking of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher was actually offensive.
So really they can do whatever they want with the franchise, honestly it started to suck with Return of the Jedi when Skywalker and company were captured by f-ing teddy bears. Ewoks and muppets were the beginning of the end.
I have my unmolested copy of Star Wars (1977) on DVD and it's really the only film I'll still watch on occasion. I have the box set with all three films, but rarely will I even try and watch the other two. I have The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi on DVD someplace but I've watched them once and will probably never watch them again. I honestly can't even remember what happens and when because they are so damn boring. I remember a black guy was a stormtrooper who decided to "fight the power" and that's about it.
Someone should inform Disney that signal virtuing does not constitute a story, but the entire concept would probably be lost on them. Trying to remember the last Disney film that wasn't completely unwatchable, probably Toy Story.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
