Tries so hard but falls short by a mile

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2018)

An overlong, incoherent mess with glaring plot holes and oddities, nonsensical plot points, inconsistent characters, out-of-place comedy, missed opportunities and pandering to the audience gives the finger to the whole Star Wars legacy. The few positives include beautiful visuals and a strong performance from Mark Hamill as a badly written Luke Skywalker. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley are doing some fine work here, too.
