I hated Godzilla. I wasn’t disappointed by it. I wasn’t okay with parts of the movie. I hated it. It wasn’t simply a boring movie. It was a bad movie. Yet a lot of people, for some reason, liked it, much like they like the equally boring Monsters. And the film earned $93 million domestically in its first weekend.

Well, folks, be prepared for the most boring Star Warsmovie ever because Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is set to travel to a galaxy far, far away. The man who proved he’s in over his head when it comes to making a blockbuster will take the reigns of the first Star Wars spinoff movie.

It’s long been rumored that the first spinoff would involve Boba Fett, a character who I find to be just as boring as Edwards’ Godzilla characters. In this case the choice makes some sense. The good news is I can be prepared for massive disappointment going into the first Star Wars stand-alone.

On the plus side, I started watching The Clone Wars series on Netflix and it’s already better than all the prequels combined, after just a few episodes. At least we have that.
