Seven stars, but with caveats

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2017)

As a movie, this one was pretty good. Seven stars seems fair. If you go into it wanting to see a movie, you should be pleased and I think that is what Disney was going for. Unfortunately. As a Star Wars movie, this was atrocious. Possibly worse than the Phantom Menace. As a Star Wars fan, I'd give this movie three or four stars. Nothing goes the way the previous 7 movies indicate it should. At the end you are left wondering how they can possibly make an episode IX that anyone will be interested in. They gave Rian his own trilogy for the future. At first I thought this was terrible, however, in fairness, His own Rian-Wars trilogy may be fine since it will not be expected to fit into an existing story-line.
