May the farce be with you....

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2019)

How to rejuvenate the flagging Star Wars franchise? How about recycling the characters, ideas and the broad story line from the original films?
Well that's essentially what you get. Starting with digging up the empire and its dead leader the emperor. An emperor who is there to compensate for the insipid, weenie Darth Vader knock off, Kylo Ren, whose helmet makes him look like a mildly amusing aardvark.
Nothing new, nothing original, just the same old thing over and over with new less interesting characters and a few tired retreads.
The only upside is the improved special effects and some decent acting. That said, this is really not enough to carry this film over the finish line.
5/10.
