You may have heard critical reviews that this movie "killed" Star Wars...

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2018)

It's a make-able argument. There are some clever camera shots, and I liked Leia's scenes especially, but the writing and editing is terrible, and the plot is nonsensical and downright stupid. Phantom menace might actually be a better-made movie, Jar-Jar notwithstanding. Seriously. Characters utter lines deeply anti-thetical to their whole personality in the service of "new-ness". Scenes are cut so roughly characters board and exit enemy ships with no explanation how. There are long sub-plot elements that go absolutely nowhere except into cgi hell. People have been way too easy on this trainwreck. Rogue One was what everyone was hoping Last Jedi would be. Not hopeful about Rian Johnson's Star Wars...worse than Lucas so far. Seriously.
