Not a film for the real fans.

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2017)

SPOILERS! They are targeting a different demographic, not the people who made star wars the franchise it is, not its hardcore and invested fans. Do you want to see Luke, on the big screen, in all of his extended universe glory? I did, and I'm really, really disappointed. Star wars, for me is an amazing concept that's getting totally ruined by people who don't understand why it's great. I wanted this not to suck, but this is really insulting. The whole movie revolves around one very simple to understand idea, which is thrown at your face at every occasion like you are mentally handicapped. It had its moments, I think adam driver's acting was good, some scenes were beautifully executed but PLOT HOLES EVERYWHERE DAMMIT.
If this wasn't a star wars movie but something different I would've given it a solid 7 and recommended it, but as a star wars movie its horrendous. It doesn't feel like star wars, heck it doesn't even feel like a movie. It feels like an average episode of a mediocre tv series.
No. I don't think having ONE SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND IDEA and shoving it in the audiances face for the whole duration of a movie and killing off actually potent characters which are actually interesting to the real fans makes a "great movie". No, that scene with luke isn't even impressive given the abilities he has at that time and snoke.. no. Just no. Do the movie makers have any idea how can someone gets that much proficiency in the force? How impressive the abilities he posseses are? We have about 30 years of lore to understand how that stuff works, and then this movie happens.. Screw that, seriously. This wasn't a good star wars movie, period.
