Snooze of the Skywalker
I guess by now, everyone knows what the hell is Star Wars. Everyone now have at least knows how does R2D2 looks like. Planet Disney who made a B Character Iron Man unto a A List hero knows how to make everyone go and buy a stupid Star Wars character named Zuvio.
who the fuck is Zuvio? I dont know until i saw the toy and i asked, when and where the hell this character appear in the first place.
You see - a "true blue" Star Wars fanboy will know who's who appeared on the screen even though they only appeared for couple of seconds. They will produce an ever updated encyclopedia of backstory whatever they can imagine with.
The fans will buy it.
That is how Lucasfilm bankrolled their 6 films from Episode 1 ( The Phantom Menace ) to Episode 6 ( The Return of the Jedi ), by licensing and merchandising. From books to underwears to pencils to everything ( you name it ). 20th Century Fox will get their share by distributing it. The rest belongs to George Lucas. Mind you, he joined with Spielberg to create another memorable giant called Indiana Jones.
So after wrapping up his Star Wars chapter - Lucas proceeded to do nothing, so Mickey Mouse club decided to buy his company. How to justify their billion dollars purchase, create another new trilogy. They need to create a new legion of fans while keep on milking the current fans. They know that everyone will buy something if they paste Star Wars on it.
With George Lucas out from the picture, they start from scratch - figuring out how to put an end to the Skywalker saga. They rope in JJ Abrahms where he played safe by mimicking A New Hope with a new cast. Luke is a farmboy, now we have someone who made a living by collecting scraps of metal.
Chewie and Solo is still around, so lets create a new millenial Vader in the form of Han Solo's disillusioned kid Kylo Ren. He looks menacing until he took off his helmets and starts to whine and bitch. So we have a new baddie - Snoke, who looks like 60 year old bread - who we know nothing off and killed off. The Empire now have a New Order and Supreme Leader.
All these laid to waste by Rian Johnson by killing off any sentimental values we had in the old trilogy but at the same time, doesnt give any god damn clue of where we are heading next. So everyone asked who the hell is Rey's parents.
Disney took the easy way, the scrap metal turned jedi Rey now is a grandchild of Palpatine. Fuck the parents, lets cramp in action so much until we dont ask questions anymore, lets put more fake death - make audience gasp, tear a lil bit and walk out. Have them ease their mind and entice them to purchase another ticket to satisfy their curiosity.
and yes more toys.
cmon Disney, lets try have some common sense and respect to people who invested in this ok, give us a justified closure.
at least have some sense of acknowledgement that we help you to build a bigger Disneyland by getting those mass produced merchandising.
Rogue 1 respected us ( even though Vader kung fu fighting shit stance turned to an oak tree in the New Hope ), yes we too shared the same grief with Obi Wan when he left Anakin half burning in Mustafar but again that is the price of the dark side coupled with insecurities - in all honesty, anyone will fall in love with the hot petite Amidala.....
Phew......
I blew my top after Disney conveniently decided to close up the chapter by having Rey to be Palpatine's grandchildren...didnt know that he has time to screw around as his schedule is packed with grand scheming and manipulating the whole galaxy.
At least decide on what you want to do with Rey and Kylo will yea? Kylo died after reviving Rey? What the fuck is this? Energizer battery?
At least Rian Johnson gave a sense of respect in ending Luke's journey after showing us hours of how washed/fucked up Luke is. Again, Luke turned out to be this way as Kylo didnt listen to him....what? After you battled your dad, trained with Yoda, blew the Death Star, lost a hand and you simply gave up coz you cant teach your nephew?
what?
and Rey identified herself as a Skywalker?
with all the swoons, compliments by fan's comment ( i wonder if i turned older this year ) - i rest my case. 15 years of my life having and collected Star Wars, i guess its time for me to call it a day. Unless Jon Favreau can pull off another Iron Man magic.
