Wasted Potiential

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2018)

A movies worst enemy is expectations. And in this case, I was actually having low expectations because The Force Awakens was pretty bad (Because it felt like a nostalgia cash grab and a complete copy of Star Wars: A New Hope). The Force Awakens was given the rating 5 by me.
Holy moly I was disappointed with The Last Jedi. At this point I don't care anymore about Star Wars. There is so many things in this movie that should have been changed or cut out. There was so much that didn't make any sense at all.
Here is mentioning some of the really big and crushing mistakes.
There is the whole thing about common logic that really does not follow the story (Example: All the opportunities that the first order had to kill off the rebel fleet, as well as Finn and that random new lady).
Why do the big first order fleet only send 3 fighters to attack the rebel fleet? (one of them with Kylo Ren).
If they would have sent more they would have killed off all the rebels right then and there, but I guess that makes to much sense and wouldn't fit the ridiculous plot.
And suddenly all the characters are teleporting around - So much that it is confusing and very noticeable.
And just when you were excited to see Luke, they make him everything he is not. Not staying true to his character from the previous movies is a big problem for me. Especially when the director ignores all character development there has been for Luke. (As I care a lot about character development).
Then there is purple hair lady who is not telling anybody the plan for no god damn reason, only for the audiences surprise. Which makes her character stupid and pointless - instead it should have been Leia who sacrificed herself in that awesome lighting speed scene. Even though that scene made zero sense and destroyed all previous Star Wars logic. Why have a Death Star if you can just light speed a big ship into it??
As the Mary Sue, that Rey is, she can't be defeated and is apparently good at everything. So no one will actually care about the character because no one can relate to a perfect person.

They kill of Akbar almost off screen, while Leia apparently survives in space (what???). (Feels like the director don't know physics nor Star Wars logic for that matter. That was so cringe to watch eventhough I love the actor Carrie Fisher.
And all the cool material that they prepared in The Force Awakens is just dropped on the ground because of the new director.
Examples: Rey's parents turn out to be no one? - really... - But I hope that J. J. Abrams can still save that one. Snoke, who is he? Guess we will never know. Finn development? - Phasma?
Knights of Ren?
Then there is the forced comedy that often doesn't fit in, which was really annoying.
So annoying that sometimes it felt like a parody of a Star Wars movie.

What could Disney have done instead?
Changing the director in the middle of a trilogy was probably the worst mistake Disney made. That single mistake ruined so much in the movie. Disney should have kept the same director.
They could have written the whole script for the new trilogy so they actually fit together. Because right now it just feels like an unexplained mess to me. Disney should have done it like lord of the rings. That would have made a good story - and I still believe that J. J. Abrams would be the best to lead that trilogy although The Force Awakens was weak.

Disney has killed Star Wars, but i guess that was to be expected. I don't mind diversity if it is not forced. But it really feels like a SJW film with more childlike humor.
