This movie is a convoluted, ill-thought mess.

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

Yes...Disney's hand is clearly in the mix. What we have here is an appeal to nostalgia and the generations that watched the 1st trilogy and the 2nd trilogy. You see, the 3rd trilogy has not created a massive amount of new fans. The generation Z (post Milenials) don't give much a thought about Star Wars. For them, Marvel has covered that hole.
So, Disney pressured Abrams to go back and film a story trying to tie the loose ends of the previous 6 movies. But, in his effort, he has created a movie that is a convoluted mix of ideas, threads, subplots, and ideas that make you think...what happened here?
I am not going to go into details and give out spoilers, but there are plenty.
As my 27 milenial son said after he watched it with me. The move can be defined as a "fruit salad that had every fruit and vegetable added, topped off with whipped cream and ketchup and mustard."
Disney obviously had no idea when they thought out this trilogy and made it up as it went. No end was thought out at the beginning and the result is a "Frankenstein" movie with no real heading.
It was worth the while watching it, but it will not make any milestone in history regarding cinematography like the original trilogy made.
The question arises, is where does Disney go from here? They still have an return on investment that is underwater when they purchased Lucasfilms.
