Director / 'writer' clearly in way over his head

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2017)

Why was he allowed to write this? Perhaps his directing was acceptable, but the story was jumbled and wrecked.
The whole plot was driven by overcoming the lack of "fuel". Which has never been a problem in 24 hours of other star wars movies.
Leia died, nope she flew back in using the power of the sun like superman. Then she lived! Deleted scene. What did this even mean? How about just concussed in the explosion?
Leia was supposed to kamikaze the cruiser ,not some random uptight woman no one cares about or respects or even knows why she is there.
Not only secondary, but TERTIARY characters that wasted time. When the cruiser cuts the snoke ship in half, the whole flight deck of storm troopers are killed, except for the Tertiary characters that had no effect on the outcome of the plot at all, and the chrome lady (who ran behind a door at the moment of the explosion, I guess?) Perfect for the 'deleted scenes' release.
Luke unceremoniously jettisoned from the future movies. Not even a duel. Alec Guinness was far more frail than Luke, and he at least swung it around a few times before praying to the force and dying. Oh! Luke was an astral projection the whole time. What? Lame.
Omnipotent villain killed by a crying man-boy with a parlor trick.
"Who are my parents" end scene "Who are my parents" end scene "
"Who are my parents" on and on and ON. Nobody! Nobody cares at this point either!
Please tell me this guy is not on the 3rd installment.
