The Return of Jar Jar Abrams

Rating: 4/10 (23 December 2019)

Who thought it was a good idea to let Abrams produce another Star Wars film? I was hoping he had lost that privilege after the horrible Force Awakens where he took everything that happened in 4,5 and 6 and just repackaged it. Did they think he was going to not repeat that behavior? Well, guess what... he did it again. This time he focused on just repeating Episode 6 again.
Lots of dead storm troopers who can't shoot worth a darn? Check! Seriously, why do they even bother wearing those storm trooper suits. No armor whatsoever.
Another Death Star? Check! Well, this time it's a whole fleet of Death Stars!
Demonstration of the power by destroying a planet that we really don't care about? Check!
Single point of failure to take everything down? Check!
Emperor Palpatine telling the main character that their choice is either join the Dark Side or die while a big space battle happens overhead? Check!
Lightning shooting out of Palpatine's fingertips up until the moment he is defeated? Check!
Ewoks celebrating while stuff explodes in the sky? Check!
Ridiculous. I'm giving this 4 stars only for the rare moments that were actually good or funny.
