   Where did I ever say anything about wanting "a story about a death   
   star"!? Oh, that's right, nowhere at all. We didn't even want nor need   
   the ridiculous "Death Star" in JarJar Abrams' silly previous reboot   
   movie either.  :-\

   The point was that this film, just like the previous Episode, is mostly   
   a lazy rip-off of the original movies. There's a bunch of brainless   
   numbnuts in Hollyweird who haven't got the talent nor creativity to   
   actually create a sensible movie that fits in with an existing   
   franchise. There's also an idiotic belief, which has been around for a   
   lot longer, that fans want just more of the exact same thing. A   
   lazy-ass re-hash is NOT what actual fans ever want. We've already "been   
   there, done that, got the T-shirt" (and the mug, action figures,   
   collectible cards, ...). "Jurassic Park" is doing the same thing too.   
      
   "Rogue One", although it did have some flaws, was a MUCH MUCH MUCH   
   better movie than either of the new Episodes ... because it was a new   
   story, with new characters (although it did stupidly shoe-horn in   
   existing ones towards the end). The Saga should have been left alone as   
   a six-part series that finished with a 'happy ever after' ending.   
      
   With JarJar Abrams coming back for Episode IX, we'll just get more of   
   the same lazy-ass rehashing, as well as probably his trademark   
   "ability" to screw it up so it makes no sense ... and then walk away to   
   let someone else try to clean up the mess.
