Suggested Title: Star Wars: All For Nothing

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

Just as a future clarification, I am a long fan of the Star Wars story and I deeply loved the characters and I felt their pain, despair, betrayal, struggle and happiness throughout the story. So that is why watching the 2017 squeal was so painful.
I will not go in much details, since just mentioning a particular scene or moment should be enough.
Unanswered questions are usually good. They keep the audience thrilled and excited, but in this movie there were so many of them, all left unanswered, all left buried, all seemed ... for nothing. Here are just a few: "Who is Snoke?". "Who thought him the ways of the force?". "How did he find Ren?" . "What did he promised him, so he can turn to the dark side?" . "How is he so powerful?" . "Why is he bound to a chair?". "Is he injured, or just old?" And since he was killed, all the potential answers are useless now.
Why did Finn and Rose go on a search for the coder? After the movie was over I rewind the story in my mind and realized that their trip was completely useless. Did the makers made them go on a trip so they have something to do, while the rest of the plot was laid out? I get the idea that showing the viewers that the only beneficial side of a war are the ones selling the weapons, but couldn't they show it in a better way? After some thinking I realized that the whole flight to the casino was actually horrible and a great mistake. Because of that trip and the "hacker" they brought, the First Order found out that the Rebels are trying to outsmart them and that led to heavy casualties. So that was all for nothing.
If they could destroy Snoke's ship with the "Hyperspeed maneuver", why didnt they do it earlier? Just evacuate to the other ships or transports and make a droid push a few buttons. I know I seem heartless (for the droids), but I think actual human beings, soldiers, medics etc are more important. The maneuver did not require any setup at all. All enemy shields were up and that did not seem to matter. So... the bombing attack and all other battles that took place were all for nothing.
I think you catch my drift, if you are not, well I am sorry. There are a lot of other plot holes, questions, scenes and moments that were just ... hard to comprehend and I think that not much thought was put into making of the movie. Like the "Force Skype Call" between Ren and Ray. Sonke said that he merged their minds together. That does not seem likely or possible at all. If he could do it, why not merge his own mind with Ren's and tempt her with whatever he promised Kylo Ren.
I think the title "Star Wars - All For Nothing" is more suitable than the actual one. Of course this is my own opinion. I think that the movie overall was not what most of us expected. I still hope that everything will make sense at the end.
Thank you for reading my review. May the Force be with you. Always.
