Annoying characters - who cares?

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2017)

TLJ has been thoroughly examined by others, but I wanted to expand on what I see as the main problem.
Star Wars was never about the story; it's a cliched one after all.
The plot could be set against prehistoric, Roman, medieval, western, modern, future times in any language and culture and still work.
To me, it was always about the characters: Luke, Han and Leia.
They were easy to identify with and root for.
They were people you'd want to be or at least hang out with.
The problem with the new trilogy is that all the players are so unlikable, even the old ones like Luke.
I lost interest in the outcome of the struggle because I didn't care whether the good guys won or not.
I could have overlooked all the gaping plot holes if there were one character I cared about but there were none.
