A McGuffin-fest of craptabulous proportions

Rating: 2/10 (11 April 2020)

Any one remember the beyond-stupid scene where Rey stands on a cliff edge and uses the McGuffin dagger to find the other McGuffin? So, if you just so happen to be standing at EXACTLY the right point, angle, elevation etc, plus the ruin of the Death Star hasn't moved or degraded at all in the decades it was there.....this tells you where the next required McGuffin is (of course by the time you actually got on the ruin, your perspective would be wrong again anyway...)
By this point it was clear that the writers never had any intention of making a decent film, I think they wrote the whole thing in a day and just made it. Honestly, it was just a case of "We HAVE to finish it, and quick. Rip off anything you can think of, it doesn't matter how stupid it is, just write anything and fast". The whole film was one McGuffin leading to another, aided by a long string of amazingly convenient coincidences. It was dumbfoundingly bad. This is like watching someone play Tomb Raider. Star Wars is now reduced to sub-video game level story telling.
I only gave it 2/10 because it at least had small appearances from Leia, Han and Luke of some kind.
Disney, please employ capable writers/producers or just give up on this nonsense, because at this point you were just prodding and poking at a carcass, wringing out the last few remaining dollars possible.
