Apparently, it's stupidity, feminist agenda, unnecessary inclusion of cutesy big-eyed creatures, randomly ignoring everything that makes sense according to what has gone before, and a general total destruction of the whole story line and canon.
I don't even want to complain about what they've done anymore. I'm done with Star Wars.
That's exactly why I was about to comment "What's disney star wars?" because after reading that about it i've had very little interest watching any of the new ones.
From what I read it's kind of like..
Old star wars movies - Luke has to earn and work for his powers.
New ones - I'm a strong independent woman who because of that I magicallly instantly have these powers instantly without having to work for it. And I can effortlessly beat up full grown men, which isn't possible in reality despite the delusions of alot of women these days.
Farewell Star Wars. Though a watch of the old ones would be good, haven't seen them for a few years.
That was one of the things that really, really made me want to walk away from this. Its literally stated in the books and established in the old movies that you can be "strong" in the force but you need training to really utilize it and have it obey your will on command. Look what happened in the old series. Luke goes to face Vader before hes properly trained and looses a hand because it. In the prequels Anakin faced Dooku before he was ready and lost an arm. Despite all this Rey thought the force/Jedi were a myth then after a few hours of finding out its real is doing mind tricks and kicking the butt of someone who has had years of training. People try to say "oh, but he was wounded" but if you had read any of the books you've had people at Kylo's level get wounded for worst and they still beat opponents that were even more trained than Rey.
The only Thing they could fall back on after that was that we don't know her background and that maybe her parentage has something to do with that. Even though we have already established that despite that you still need training which the movies and books have kept on saying for a long time now. Now those people can't even fall on that because we found out that her parents were nobody scavengers with nothing special about them. In other words she is a Mary Sue. Shes strong simply because of if you try to have a woman who has weakness then works her way up to being strong all the feminist cry about how you are sexist despite the fact that Being a Mary sue destroys the chance for character development. Theres a reason why people staying away from making a character a Mary or Gary Sue off the bat because it ruins part of the story and destroys character development.
