A mindless series of action set pieces.

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2019)

Star Wars has been Marvelized. Evidenced by the latest soulless film containing a ridiculously convoluted plot the size of a pea being dragged along like a video game story by the next action set piece, and filled in between by wink wink jokey banter that didn't work. The fan service is not only bad but corny and produced only a sense of embarrassment for the actors paid to perform it.
The newest trilogy was a missed opportunity (Unless all you need is things to go boom), but what it revealed is not only are the good Star Wars films from the 20th Century, but have been mined to death. The story is nonexistent and the excuse for a plot is beyond absurd. The actors seemed bored by the material and the excitement at the end was probably fueled by the fact they're done with this lifeless series.
Star Wars lay dead in the present and alive in its past, hopefully the inevitable future finds a new, fresh voice.
