Shallow and pointless.

Rating: 3/10 (9 June 2017)

Instead of picking a more interesting period in the Star Wars story universe, they stuffed another movie in the already overly saturated stretch of original trilogy timeline. Unsurprisingly, this is a pointless piece of contrived cinema with shallow characters portrayed through mediocre acting in a story of which we already know the outcome. This makes for an oddly paced, unbalanced movie that is simply rather bland and boring. Even the special effects were tame and the much discussed CGI revival of some characters looked quite ridiculous. The film is not terrible, but considering the resources at the disposal of the makers, it does not deserve a higher rating. The Darth Vader cameo is the only element that is extremely well done.
