Robot Chicken Star Wars

Rating: 2/10 (14 March 2018)

There were times in this movie where I honestly believed the scene in question would serve better as a skit in Robot Chicken Star Wars. There were other times when the movie became Harry Potter... new force spells galore.
There appears to be some sort of a vacuum when it comes to hiring the right talent in imagining up dark characters. Almost everyone who is supposed to be "dark" or "evil" is little more than an angry hormonal teenager.
Daisy Ridley plays Rey as well as the story allows, and Finn and Poe are their usual selves. Unfortunately for us, what the story allows is a retelling (yet again) of what the force is capable of, and a rehash of (yet again) all the predictable twists.
I think Disney should turn this whole thing into an animated series... perhaps create a young princess leia and simply make it all about love and babies. You know, stick to your strengths.
