Looks nice, lacks substance and coherence.

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2019)

So JJ Abrams decided that fan service was more important than story, narrative, character development and plot. I am a MASSIVE Star Wars fan and have been since the start (I'm old). I usually get goosebumps and get overly emotional during Star Wars movies, but I didn't really feel much of anything during this. It feels like the jawas, ewoks, porgs and Han Solo were just shoehorned in without any narrative thought. I love the storytelling in the Star Wars universe, but it's like JJ Abrams just shouted, "Palpatine is alive, because....cloning!" and then shat on my dreams.
