No storyline, not even pretty to watch

Rating: 2/10 (10 May 2020)

I always loved Star Wars for the music and beautifully crafted scenes and sets. Whether it be from 1977 to 2015 Star Wars was always a beautiful movie. I felt this movie lacked beauty which is so odd for a Disney movie as well, the costumes were all just repeats of what we had already seen and I felt all sets were recycled as well.
I have just watched all 9 movies in a row and felt such lack lustre with this last one I had to pause and check reviews to see if it was just me. The story doesn't exist and we see no emotional connection with any character.
I liked the idea that anyone can be a powerful Jedi with belief and hard work, regardless of being a slave or a scrapper. It was nice to see a main character for once not needing a massively complex back story and their future being defined by their parents. Finally pulling away from the mommy and daddy issues and being about the family and destiny you make for yourself.
Nope, this movie back tracks all of that and everything that is special and powerful about Rey is because she was born with it. What kind of message is that for people?!?!?
There is no hope for the galaxy now if Jedis are literally a dying breed. Good luck Rey, looks like you will be starting a nursery of jedis instead of a temple!!
