Everyone dies because prequel

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2017)

Well, where to begin?
What's with the lack of uniformity in all of the empires stuff in this film? The rebels had more consistent uniforms for freaks sake.
The quasi force user was hugely annoying. Either make him a legit force user, or drop it.
Creation of new rebel fighter never seen again even though it would have been quite useful during ground assaults in original trilogy. Imperial shuttles are apparently all a special different snowflake, that suddenly becomes uniform when you get back to the original trilogy.
Shields make no sense, if you can shield a planet from the planet, why the heck cant you shield the death-star from the death-star? Also, in the movie the "gate" blocked the shield by dropping blocks that blocked it therefor creating the opening. Can someone explain to me how destroying the gate somehow creates an opening?
Everyone dies, the only good part. I lied, the death star firing at lowered power is also pretty much the bomb.
Lighting round: AT-AT's appear out of nowhere, how many ground troops fit in this one shuttle, the rebels can run faster (while staying unseen) then a transportation system can get the main characters to the place, crystal sub plot that is quite literally a waste of time, dumb power struggle between uncanny valley and generic boss villain, do they follow any rules with the colored squares that obviously denote rank, What's with the super AI bot you never see in any other movie?
It's a pile of steaming bantha excrement, but it's warm, and you get to watch the death-star be awesome.
