"I've got a bad feeling about this"... Never a truer word spoken

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2017)

When in The Force Awakens Hans Solo spoke the line "I've got a bad feeling about this" he wasn't describing the ghastly situation he was in when the two poor looking "gangs" turned up to get their money back. Instead he was describing the whole outlook for the new Star Wars "universe" that so clearly is here to just pump out a new film every year and make its owners a cool few million (or so) at a time!
They clearly have no real idea of what Jedi's actually are or what they stand for and blatantly don't want to try to describe what it is they think that they are.
Mark Hammill hates his role in the movie and I can see why! The character he portrays is a huge departure from the one we knew in the original movies and after such a huge build up in The Force Awakens his role is tossed aside like an old light sabre (pun intended).
It's like Disney want to carry on Star Wars but to disregard everything up to this point, and slowly but surely they have wiped out everything that they can from the originals.
In the Force awakens we lost Hans Solo, who was one of the more beloved characters, and in the last Jedi we lose Luke as well as losing Leia (not that the story line suggested that as yet) so there is little to no connection to the original Star Wars brand, I wouldn't be surprised is C3PO and R2D2 are blown up or something in the next movie... Just saying.
Also there is very little in the way of any character development. Rey is uninspiring. Finn is a waste of time just like his expedition to the casino planet. Kylo Ren is exploring new ways to have a fit and make a scene and BB8 is no longer charming, just seems to have become some kind of superhero!
The only character with a little development was Po, who was basically made to look like a reckless idiot more than anything.
I went to see this movie really looking forward to it, especially after the trailers seemed to offer so much promise, but what we got was disappointment, disbelief and anger. I'm now left with no real hunger to watch the next movie in the series and feel that this is just a massive let down.
