Unforgivable sins and FANFIC at best.

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2017)

This movie has lots of issues, some of which quite frankly are unforgivable sins.
Let's get something straight: Who you see in the move isn't really Luke Skywalker. It's somebody else with the same name. They're nowhere near the same character as the one we grew to love, I wholeheartidly agree with Mark Hamill's words when he told the director that he was "surprised how you see Luke Skywalker" and that he disagreed with every decision they made for him. It's an absolute sin for them to portray him in this way. Standing above a sleeping Ben Solo, igniting his lightsaber with intent to kill? Good joke.
The Force has changed. Dramatically. Now it has turned into Skype where you can have real-time communication as much as you want and even touch. Imagine if the Twi'leks could do that, it would boost the sex-industry to new heights in Star Wars.
A Universal mind-trick across the entire universe is also displayed which is utter nonsense.
Lastly regarding the Force, it has been built up as something that anybody force sensitive can just use without training. This is how they explain the kid in the end force pulling the broom so he can work, how Rey is so strong without training and so on. The Force is now something you can just do spontaneously since you're a kid. You just wake up and go around mind-tricking, pulling, pushing and doing whatever you want now.(Rey in first film). They've amputated one of the most interesting parts of Star Wars lore with this and it's quite sad.
Additional sins:
Phasma is -- once more, completely wasted as a character. Snoke got killed off suddenly by a cheap force trick and we don't even know who he was. Overdone humour where they can't keep a single section of the movie serious. Casino part of the movie was entirely useless. They've swamped the entire film with cute, small animals that the kids will want to buy.
The worst of it all: We're back to J.J Abrams now for the last movie. The magic of Star Wars is officially gone. As they say, all good things come to an end.
