If you want a way to destroy a franchise -- this is it chief!

Rating: 3/10 (1 March 2020)

I'll try to keep this is as brief as possible. I seldom -- if ever, do written reviews. But this film left such a sour taste in my mouth I couldn't help but write this review.
As a long time Star Wars fan, I, like many, judged the prequels to be inferior to the original trilogy... but boy do these follow ups (in particular this entry) make those look like Oscar-worthy films!
Without going through any particular spoilers, all I will say is that they completely ignored the lore established by previous films (even in their own sequels, VII (TFA) and VIII (TLJ)... because while there are numerous flaws in dialogue and pacing in this film... how can you ignore things like:
Force ghosts having essentially no limits (wait.. where is ANAKIN???)
Lightspeed hopping/jumping is apparently a thing now (even though it was stated as near impossible in the last film)
I don't see how the main films can be salvaged at this point... good thing The Mandalorian is good... I think I'll go re-watch that now.
