The Merchandise is Strong in You

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

I don't think you could put in a worse script with plot holes. Mark Hamill's damning of the director was right on but who could have directed such a script that meanders around, rehashes old plot lines, denigrates all Jedi lore before and has completely destroyed a strong franchise. I thought George Lucas' scripts for 1-III were pretty turgid but this is just rubbish. At the end where an apparent new spark is occurring just didn't happened and all that remained was the extermination of the remaining 30 soldiers and under 10's around the galaxy. I can't see how they can make a 3rd film from this effort.
After 2 years, I cannot believe the high overall rating this movie has received. It is not warranted and I think there must be fake reviews or people who hadn't seen previouls Star Wars films. I'm not a die hard Star Wars fan but for a film to completely override it's predecessors is mind boggingly arrogant.
