Not just a bad Star Wars movie

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2018)

Where do you start, OK past, present and future.
Past, The original trilogy was fantastic, not because of state of the art special effects but the story was built around characters and their interactions and friendships/romance that drew you in and made you invest emotionally in them.
R2D2 and C3PO Han and Luke, Luke and Ben/Yoda Leia and Han Chewie and Han.
Small thing when the Jawas capture R2D2 in the first film and he/she falls over every single person in the audience went ahhhhh no massive special effects dialogue or space battles just good music and writing the scene.
The interplay between characters and humour made you believe they actually liked each other.
Present, Mary Sue Rey who can fly a spaceship with no training, swim when she lives on a desert planet, can hold her own after just picking up a LS, she did not earn or learn anything.
The interactions between characters is so awkward, I don't know how the movie was shot but you would think perhaps they were jumping from scene to scene or it may have been the editing as there seems to be no flow to it just one level, flat.
I wont go into the plot and stupid side plot as a 10 year old could have written better on a cornflakes box so many holes and inconsistencies and everyone behaving out of character, I wouldn't let these generals run a tap let alone a resistance.
Future, For Star Wars I can't see Solo doing that well or the next full blown Star Wars as I think they have disenfranchised a high proportion of their fan base.
I certainly wont be investing any time or money watching them or buying the DVD for this one.
These are my personal thoughts on the matter, yours may differ but hey that's fine film is art and you like what you like.
