Perhaps it could have been played down on the fan service front, since the returnees do distract from the opportunity to flesh out fresh faces. Of course, it is nice to see the returning characters once again even if their appearance is far from necessary, stuffed to the brim with fan service to distract from any flaws that are occuring.
John Boyega and Oscar Issac prove instantly forgettable in their roles as Finn and Poe, who are surprisingly dull for male leads. Daisy Ridley’s Rey is decent, but perhaps not strong enough to be the lead. Where the film fails is the establishment of its newcomers. It may be moderately mediocre and dispensable, but it serves the purpose that is labelled on the tin as an exciting, thrilling form of escapism. Not only would it have to restore the legacy of a previously well regarded saga, but it would have to introduce the franchise to yet another generation of eager youngsters enthralled by the promise of venturing into a galaxy far far away. Each film, whilst being box office successes due to the profitable nature of its saga’s overarching title, became more controversial than the last, retconning and retconning the retcons over and over again with many controversies to boot.īlasting onto our screens a decade following the conclusion of the widely panned prequel trilogy, the first instalment of the sequels had a large job on its hand. As mentioned previously, this is such an inconsistent franchise, which is exemplified by the sequel trilogy and the reaction towards them. Here is the final part of a five part season which seems to have taken a considerable amount of time to produce, known as Star Wars Revisited. Whilst this reputation is rather unfair, it is certain that some questionable decisions were made in the process. What came out of these releases was something almost as controversial and infamous as the dreaded prequel trilogy. George Lucas mapped out a nine film plan, or at least claimed he wished to produce three trilogies, so it was inevitably going to be released. Did we truly need the sequels? Well, apparently so.
