Sincerely, I stopped paying attention to the Star Wars new trilogy several years ago.



It began for me with the "Force Awakens" trailer. Too many elements were already similar to things we had already seen somewhere else.

At the end, I did not watch episodes 7 and 8, but I know the story and I've watched scenes from these movies.

As an artist, I mainly like the visual and esthetic aspects of the Star Wars universe.

But I feel like that even these are not really pushed forward in the new movies.



For me, some ideas are good, but I think that they are used and executed superficially, most of the time.

I liked the concept for the planet Crayt for example, but not for Takodana, which I found really generic.

For me, not everything is bad in these movies, but a lot of aspects are really executed poorly without the intention of creating something really deep and enjoyable.

Even the morals are in contradiction in episode 8 : it is time for the jedi to end but Rey is trained by Luke and there is a message about how we see the jedi and how they see themselves. But at the end of the movie, it is used as something inspiring, though the entire movie was supposed to destroy that idea.



In brief, I like to revisit the designs in Star Wars and even in this new trilogy to see what could have been done instead (but I'm not a professional artist,of course).



I think that the people will remember this trilogy not for what it is in its current state, but for "what it could have been".

Which is not a bad thing at all, but it shows how opportunities were wasted at some point.
