Ridiculously bad

Rating: 2/10 (1 April 2018)

Watching this movie you can effortlessly imagine the countless meetings of marketing staff that created this drivel. This is not about telling a story in the best possible way, it's about pleasing as much audience as possible to create after-market opportunities. Unsurprisingly, children age twelve or lower (and adults having retained this intellectual level and attention span) love the movie while mature moviegoers and Star Wars aficionados loathe it. It's all about "did we include this for target group x?" or "do you believe that is strong enough for target group y?". Lacking a decent script, it's rather a continuation of more or less connected scenes - much like "The Force Awakens": Whenever an excuse for a plotline grinds to a halt, a deus ex machinae steps in. Most surprisingly, production values and effects quality aren't too high either. Especially the CGI-Yoda marks a new low. Watch somewhen on free TV, if at all.
