Not the movie I was hoping to see.

Rating: 2/10 (15 December 2017)

I was looking forward to seeing Rey trained by Luke Skywalker- did not happen.
I was looking forward to more character development with Finn- weak side plot.
Rey's backstory was the most intriguing and theory driven part of Force Awakens- that fizzles completely.
I couldn't wait to see Luke, after barely making an appearance in Force Awakens, as the Jedi Master he had become in Return of the Jedi. That, sadly, will never happen.
What a waste. What a complete waste.
The only intriguing part of the movie was the light and dark telepathic connection between Kylo and Rey, and their battle together.
Although my feelings on Star Wars are certainly molded by my age having been born in the 70s and growing up with these characters, I'm sure plenty of fans will feel this whole movie was a missed opportunity of plot and character.
And in the end, while Yoda lived to over 700, Luke, an apparently useless character to this new franchise, should close his eyes and basically go away. at 65.
That's a fairly good metaphor for what Disney did to Star Wars.
