This is the end

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2017)

I have registered with IMDB especially to write this review.
Positives first: the actors were really good, Hamill, Ridley, Finn, Poe, Fisher, Driver, they all gave it all they had. Good score, good special effects, it "looked" and "sounded" like Star Wars (except Yoda).
Now the negatives, in no particular order.
All the things we have believed in, from 1977 until Force Awakens and Rogue One, have all gone down the pan.
Not just destroyed, but declassified, ridiculed, dragged through mud!
The Force requiring long training, dedication, the path of a Jedi, etc? Nah, all nonsense.
Yoda's teachings, 800 years of respected career? Down the drain.
The mysterious Snoke, is he Sidious? is he Darth Plagueius? Is he Sypho Dyas? Is he Mace Windu?
Nah, just some punk who cannot even tell he is being conned in the most childish way.
The fact that Rey (and to a lesser extent even Finn) were able to do Force things, wield a lightsaber, give the (Skywalker, full of Midichlorians, fully trained by Luke first and then Snoke), sure they must have some special lineage, sure there must be some big surprise in store?
Nah, nothing of the sort. The Force is clearly something you can get at the Disney store with your Mickey ears and your Goofy hat.
This is the main problem, the Star Wars universe we have known and loved for 40 years, with its lows and highs, will never be the same anymore. All to the scrapyard.
And that's before we even start discussing:

What they have done to Luke as a character
The useless Benicio Del Toro subplot
The gaping plot hole of the space "chase" (First Order ships could have jumped ahead)
The gaping plot hole of the Rebels' vessel having barriers while the Star destroyer has none
The forced, useless comedy
The new Admiral had a plan (nearby planet with a hidden base, suicide mission) - why could she not say so all along instead of looking like an idiot, keeping everyone else guessing, and causing a mutiny?
Leia floating in space - pretty please. They could (should) have found a way to send her on the suicide mission and give her the send-off she deserved.

So many more things I could add. The SW universe is now ruined forever, but I am sure they will be able to sell a few more Porg dolls. I had such high hopes after the to previous films. Disney has so many other franchises, they are doing a fantastic job with Marvel and I am sure they will do great with Fox, they should have saved the money and left Lucasfilm alone.
