I waited my whole adult life to FINALLY see Luke Skywalker at the height of his Jedi powers...

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2019)

...only for this awful director to turn him into just a whiny old man that barely does anything.
First, the whole Finn storyline is bloated & ends up meaning nothing to the plot.
Second, the Laura Dern faux-martyr nonsense was ridiculous! If you can just kamikaze a ship hyperspace backwards into the chasing fleet, why wait until your last ship to do it?! And why not evacuate everyone but a droid first?!
Third, the final battle staged as though on a 2D tabletop rather than with aircraft capable of 3D aerial support was just stupid. And the holoprojected/astral Luke was also just stupid. At least his own damn sister would be able to feel if his true presence was there or not.
Speaking of Leah, all the extraneous long shots of Carrie Fisher's CGI visage to long overdramatic music were just so tedious.
But really that Luke Skywalker was written down to such a husk of a non-character was infuriating.
Also, the just anti-climactic word vomit of the "truth" about Rey's parents was awful.
Basically, the entire movie is a clumsy corporate effort meant to disengage the Jedi and The Force from the Skywalker family, in a way that destroys our memory of them so that Disney greed can make tons of other sequels about other random Jedi.
This movie is a corporate piece of trash worse than any of the prequels!
Yes, it's still Star Wars and the fanboy in me can't go lower than 3 stars but this is extremely generous. I truly hated this movie. It is as bad as Rogue One was good. It is Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull bad.
