Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker final trailer

[curl-6]

I got no problem with women being protagonists; some of my favourite films have female protagonists; Alien/Aliens, Gamera 3, Terminator 2. Heck, I even quite liked Rogue One.

My issues with the new trilogy are mostly what DarthMetalliCube already covered; boring characters lacking any charisma, a disjointed mess of a plot, shallow spectacle over substance, etc.

This will be the first Star Wars film to come out in my lifetime that I won't be seeing at the cinema.

Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were just so bad, I simply don't have any faith in the series any more, at least in the hands of Disney, who have become more or less the contemporary Hollywood equivalent of EA or Konami.

It all just seems so cynical, tacky, focus-tested and soullessly commercial.

You just described the prequels. Hell, even George Lucas admitted that Jar Jar Binks was inspired by Goofy. It makes sense that Star Wars is owned by Disney now too. The majority of the prequels was just an excuse to sell toys. 

I never said the prequels were much better, they're not very good either.
