Meh.

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 2017)

Let's face it. Let's be honest. It was always going to be next to impossible to live up to the hype. Star wars fans have built up star wars to such heights that it was always going to be next to impossible, that unless the director was a Christopher Nolan level genius, it was always going to fail.
I won't blame Disney, as these days, it's going to be next to impossible-unless you're Marvel, who seem to be the the only one's who can get it right-to please everyone. These movies try to please everyone and end up alienating the hardcore fans. I'm sure casual movie goers will like this movie fine, but fans with a little more invested, won't.
As others have said. The mysteries introduced in the force awakens have very poor resolutions. Luke Skywalker apparently decided to abandon the galaxy to the dark side because of his own personal failures as a teacher. Yeah, Luke. One mistake, just give up.
Apparently Snoke wanted to find Luke badly in the first movie for some reason, but there was no actual reason. As Luke was meh. They made it seem as if Luke held the key to defeating the first order. Luke didn't even win one battle in this movie, so apparently Snoke doesn't know what he's doing.
The will they won't thing between Finn and Rey (I know it's not the 1990's so this is outdated anyways), has become a potential love triangle.
Oh, the whole, I must complete the training of Kylo Ren thing was also just ignored btw, so just forget about that. And the cool mask and the new lightsaber, again, just forget about that. Doesn't matter as well.
Anyways, that's it. I won't go into the many, many flaws of the movie.
