More wars

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2018)

But some only cared about the new "species" that got introduced here. But worry not, they are not the new Ewoks. No the Porgs may be displayed a lot in this movie, but they still are just there to have a new toy to seel. If you think this is cynical, you are very gullible. You think anything being made for a big budget movie is not being slated for mass production? Of course kids need toys, so you could try to see it as a win/win.
But back to the story that goes on from Episode 7. Recurring characters, and different chapters were everyone involved has something to do. I guess you could compare it to a fellowship but without a ring that has to be retrieved. They still have a goal, whether it's the good guys or the bad guys. It is what it is though and it never was about characters being depicted much - it's about the action, it's about the fantasy, it's about the road to self discovery ... and ultimately good versus evil
