Potentially good movie ruined by bad choices

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2018)

Well, after I watched "The Force Awakens", I had wished that they didn't carbon copy "A New Hope" and instead did something different. After watching "The Last Jedi", I now wished they just carbon copied "The Empire Strikes Back"...
The pacing of the movie was off, and there were a lot of boring/pointless scenes which could have been deleted. The fleet chase was plain silly and could have been done a bunch of different ways better. Flynn and that useless unfunny sidekick also were just fillers; nothing necessary or interesting was happening there. Snoke died...wait...why was he even in the movie? We knew nothing about him and I guess never will... Luke and Rey's scenes could have been done so much better. I could go on but I think you get the picture.
I'm not a die hard Star Wars fan (although I like the originals a lot), and I'm not a "purist" of the movies. Star Wars or not, this was just a poorly made movie overall.
