Bad Plot and Poor Writing

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2017)

MY REVIEW WAS DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE OR AN EMAIL HERE IT IS:
I am so confused with this film. Nothing was achieved? The whole movie is basically the Resistance trying to escape the First Order with the death of three characters just put in.
This film has very little to do with the fans of Star Wars and just caters to the casuals. Force Awakens was an ok balance of fans and casuals but this one is just pushed towards that casual majority.
Finn and Rose achieved nothing this film. Their mission/plan failed and they did very little in the battle on Crait. Now this wouldn't be that big of a problem if their characters actually progressed from all that but no there is very little to no progression in their characters. Also why did they let a pipe cleaner (Rose) fly one of their only vehicles on Crait? Overall they were just a waste of screen time.
With the passing of Fisher I thought they would have gave Leia a death worthy of her character but they didn't. The Leia "sky walking" scene was debatable and I have mixed feelings so I won't touch on it. Instead of having the Vice Admiral sacrifice herself and destroy Snoke's ship they could have used Leia. It would have been an end worthy of a character like her.
There was too much forced humour. Some of it was ok but they just filled the film with it and used it as another way to please casuals. Ask yourself this question, if the prequels had that much humour how much more would they be accepted? Take away the humour from this film and you'll notice that it is a very poor film with two or three amazing scenes.
The mystery regarding who Snoke is and Rey's parents were answered in a very unsatisfying way. Snoke was presented as someone with great power yet was killed of easily. Rey was teased to be someone special but turns out to be no one. I understand Snoke was killed off to make Kylo take control but still. Rey and her parents was a lose/lose situation, if she is a no one then how is she this powerful and why did you tease her to be someone special and if she someone special then it would have been too obvious.
The death of Phasma was another questionable choice. This character was advertised, hyped up and built up through novels then appears very little in Force Awakens and then dies in this film with less than five minutes of screen time.
Untrained Rey is able to force grab Luke's saber but trained Rey isn't able to. Why is Rey so much weaker in this film? In The Force Awakens she was doing everything with ease, guess they listened to the feedback.
I could go on all day but those were some of my major issues. I really wanted to like this film and was waiting for it for two years. I love Star Wars but this is a let down and it seems like people that are rating this a good score don't know Star Wars and what it means.
