While talking with a friend, I finally have a way to describe my feelings on the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, and why it feels so off to me.
Those of you who lived in the 70s and 80s might remember TV Shows based on popular movies. 9 to 5. Alice. Ferris Beuler.
Lilly Tomlin in 9 to 5 suddenly spoke Spanish and became Rita Moreno on TV. Vera was the same actress from "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," but Flo was a completely different actress (And then the actress that played Flo in the movie showed up as Jolene, a completely different character). The universe was tweaked, as well. Alice in the movie stayed in Tucson. Alice in the TV series took place in Phoenix.
Each were trying to be the same show as the movie, but weren't quite right.
THAT'S how I feel about the new trilogy. It's trying to be the same universe as Star Wars...but...it's just not quite right. ALMOST there, but something's different.
Still planning to see the new one this week sometime. Maybe it'll change my mind.
