You have an unlimited budget and what do you do Disney, what do you do?
You take 2 years and release a turd of a movie. The story doesn't make sense -- because it's a bad story. In exchange for tense action where it's possible the bad guys or good guys could win, plot development, character development and a good script -- you get ok battles/action that don't make much sense, cheesy jokes and sub-plots that literally didn't need to happen; ironically, the movie makes is perfectly clear those characters involved in those sub-plots were indeed wasting their time -- and unfortunately yours.
There is no plot development. Arguably, you can watch the force awakens, skip this movie, as there is zero resolve to the plot and character development, then watch the next one and you'll be up to date on what you know about the characters from this movie.
What does that mean exactly? Every character in The Force Awakens that appears in this movie doesn't get any back story and their current story doesn't really change.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm not going to see the next one -- that's how bad this movie was.
Is it worse than the prequals? Yes. It's hard to believe but they made a worse film some how.
I'm not a cynic and was super excited to see this movie. What a disappointment.
