And if you've seen Episode 8, you know it only got worse!

Ironically, Rogue One was the best of the latest 3 films and had no Jedi (other than Vader) in it!



Episode 8?!? Oh boy...! They sure picked a script (or lack of one) to REALLY tick off the long-time fans AND show moviegoers that a good script is no longer necessary for a franchise film.

Disney is coasting off of Star Wars' name alone. Honoring what came before or even adapting a GOOD storyline from existing comics or novels is not in Disney's game plan.

I think it's a shame -- they had a chance to do better than the Prequels but instead are making even more mediocre films. The Mary Sue-ism isn't even the beginning or end of problems with these new films.

I really don't expect Episode 9 to be any better and am saving my money. Online or video-only next time. I won't waste my money on it and will feel better about that!

Thank goodness I at least went to a matinee screening for Episode 8 ($5, 2-D) and wasn't one of those guys who went in the evening to a 3-D screening and wasted $15 on that movie!
