[ NaPo 2017 ] Going Rogue

   
Dear George Lucas and J.J. Abrams,  
 
One of you  
is the creator of the Star Wars franchise  
 
The other  
was tapped by Disney to co-write and direct  
the final trilogy of the trilogy  
 
You both lost respect in my eyes  
with your special effects obsession  
and catering to whims of the fans  
 
Jedi Obi Wan Kenobi sliced off Anakin's  
arm and legs and then left him burning alive?  
 
Padme spent two films being  
queen, senator and heroine  
only to return for a third as a  
wishy washy pregnant housewife?!  
 
Jar Jar Binks?!?!
 
Don't even get me started on Darth Emo Kylo Ren  
in that 136 minutes of derivative nonsense  
 
If only you both had gone to the Dark Side  
 
That's no space station  
It's a moon!  
Don't you see?  
 
This is lunacy  
 
Thankfully, other people at Disney  
were allowed to make Rogue One  
a Star Wars story that doesn't suck  
like Boba Fett down a Sarlacc  
 
that makes me want to become  
One with the Force  
of my childhood again  
 
Sincerely,  
Protocol Droid U8-PP
