Pretty pictures don't make a good movie

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2017)

After rejecting the Expanded Universe from the Star Wars canon, TLJ removes the original trilogy from canon as well. It still plays in a similar universe, with the same props, and some familiar character names, but the characters are not related to the original movies in any way (if you want to enjoy the movie, best pretend they may have been assassinated and replaced by an evil/stupid shapeshifter race).
Some comment on the internet said it quite well: "Star Wars is WW2 In Space... with magic. Just turn off your brain and watch" - In less positive terms: Don't bother with logic, physics, or plot, stay for the pretty pictures (the soundtrack is nice too). If that's enough for you, and you don't mind familiar characters acting totally out of character before being thrown away by screenwriters, you might like the movie.
