Star Wars for the 21st Century

Rating: 5/10 (24 December 2019)

Every generation gets the Star Wars it deserves, apparently.
This concluding chapter was a special effects triumph bogged down by, frankly, ridiculous plot holes and twists that a 6-year old would raise an eyebrow over.
Rey and Palpatine's relationship? Palpatine suddenly emerging as the true power behind the First Order? How to tell which way is up?
No. No. No.
Do yourself a favour and stick to the original trilogy, throw in the next trilogy if you must but stop there.
Disney, rather unbelievably, seems unable to write a story. Who would have thought it?
