Wasted potential.

Rating: 4/10 (23 December 2019)

There were endless possibilities after TLJ and the movie goes in a very predictable direction.
From a technical stand point this movie is competent, but the plot feels like a mess. They try to make up for Rian Johnson's "mistakes" instead of sticking to his vision and bringing something new and philosophical like TLJ.
The problem with the new trilogy is that they keep making changes from fan feedback instead of having one person's vision.
The whole trilogy feels like a tug of between Abrams and Johnson. TLJ and TFA work better on their own rather than with this movie.
TLJ felt like a part one of a two part story but this feels more like a sequel to TFA.
I am glad most fans enjoyed it but from a person who wants themes and concepts in a star wars movie this is dissapointing.
