Fans In 2002: "Attack of the Clones" is the worst thing in the Star Wars saga!" Rian Johnson in 2017: "Hold my beer"

Rating: 4/10 (24 November 2019)

At least if simply viewed as a mindless spectacle, TLJ has some impressive visuals and battle sequences. Its also good to at least see Mark Hamill return to his most iconic character. Unfortunately, you'll eventually have to think about what those action scenes were in service of and what they ended up doing with the character of Luke Skywalker.
This movie goes out of it's way to misdirect it's audience simply for the sake of doing it. The main plot is nonsensical and the B-plots end up either going nowhere or end up being set-ups for ridiculous twists that make our characters seem stupid. New characters are introduced and mishandled to the point of absurdity. Our new leads from the last film are either totally flat or so inconsistent that they no longer feel like characters. The legacy characters are so massively misused and unrecognizable in their characterization that it would almost require an additional trilogy of films to justifiably get them to where they are here.
Watch it on Netflix if you're curious but try not to think too much if you want
to enjoy it.
