Dreadful. Easily the worst of them all.

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2017)

It's funny. As I sat through the movie, I was entertained. I laughed at the silly MCU-style jokes and reacted where I was supposed to react. But then at the end, I realized just how bad this movie is. It is empty. It is devoid of anything that made Star Wars, well, Star Wars. SPOILERS AHEAD
When you reach the end of the end of the movie and realize that half the movie was wasted on a useless, irrelevant subplot starring Finn and new character Rose, who accomplish absolutely nothing and do not advance the plot at all, or even their own characters for that matter, you begin to understand just how almost everything in this movie is terrible.
Luke's character and fate is the worst offender of the entire movie though, to utterly and completely bastardize an iconic character... This movie gets Luke wrong, it misses the mark worse than Batman v Superman did when interpreting Superman. Luke deserved better than the measly, irrelevant ending he got. Mark Hamill deserved better.
When IX rolls around, I won't go see it. Not this time.
