The whole point of Star Wars has been ignored

You know what just kills me? “The Last Jedi” pretty much had Luke saying that the old Jedi ways were bad for the Galaxy. The movie talked about Light, Darkness and Balance.

And then TROS threw all that away and divided the characters in black or white (not gray). There were either goody Jedi or bad Sith-like ones.

It’s extremely frustrating, considering that Rian Johnson’s ideas regarding the way the future needed to find balance between light and dark in order for there to be peace in Galaxy was brilliant. In Abrams’ narrow mind, the light destroying the darkness is what brings balance, then the Last Jedi lives in celibacy and follows the same old traditions The End.

I always knew that the principles of the Jedi Order were messed up when I watched the prequels. The Jedi Order is what destroyed Anakin Skywalker and created Darth Vader. Palpatine simply took advantage of the one-sided view of the Jedi.

To me, Balance always meant finding a middle ground between light and darkness. Both light and darkness are a part of the Force. We can’t live with just the light or with just darkness.

I thought that the ending of the saga was going to prove that we can’t have a one-sided view and we need to embrace all parts of the Force. There needs to be peace combined with passion. We need to feel both serenity and anger. We need to be both selfish and selfless. We’re human after all. The Jedi thought that by denying anger, passion, love, selfishness, fear, hatred, they have perfected themselves as soldiers for the Galaxy, but you feel the need to break free just like Anakin did.

Abrams is just a narrow-minded Director who is too caught up in the good vs bad routine with good vanquishing. But that’s not balance. And he proved he doesn’t understand at all what Star Wars is about. Next time, before destroying worldwide cinematographic phenomenons for all the fans that love them, he should just stick to something he understands or better yet, he should change professions. I don’t know who in God’s name gave him a diploma so he can destroy cinematographic history.

Excellent review that will speak to you all.

Cinematic language carries meaning. Movies are more than just a series of events documented by a camera; the way those events are depicted – blocked, framed, edited, scored, mixed – is as important as the events themselves. When the cinematic toolbox is used well, movies can evoke feelings, make arguments, and change lives. Used poorly, though, films can say something completely contrary to what the filmmaker intends.

(…)

Rey’s Last Jedi revelation that her parents were nobodies is crucial to her development. It’s interesting not just because it breaks from the legend and dynasty-obsessed story that’s blanketed the entire Star Wars saga, but because it breaks Rey from her own obsession with destiny. Without destiny, we only have ourselves. You can come from nothing, but you can make yourself something. These are powerful and impactful statements to make in Star Wars, calling back to Yoda’s philosophical musings from The Empire Strikes Back. These revelations aren’t the ones Rey wants, but they’re what she needs, and they push her to grow and change.

The Rise of Skywalker reverses much of that. By turning Rey from a nobody into the granddaughter of the most powerful Force-user in history, it shrinks the universe and contradicts The Last Jedi’s central message, telling Rey she’s only important and powerful because she was born into an important and powerful family. It turns all her positive, hard-won self-actualisation into ominous foreshadowing for the return of the wrinkly-face sparky-finger man. And by killing off Ben Solo, the film also robs her of the companionship she desired from her nascent dyad twin – her connection with whom is one of the few elements actually carried forward from The Last Jedi.
