Just flat out awful

Rating: 2/10 (4 April 2018)

I cannot comprehend what went through the director or the writer's minds when they pushed out this pathetic attempt of a Star Wars movie. To think they erased all those Star Wars novels to insert this garbage into the franchise as the new canon is baffling.
Let's start off with some observations (SPOILERS):

Finn and Rose's day out. What a terrible segment that lead to absolutely nothing. It was poorly played out and all that screen time amounted to no results and in the end was basically filler for the movie.

Space bombers...I just can't wrap my head around this concept. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in space.

Snoke's death. Anti-climatic and poorly delivered. This was suppose to be the new big baddie behind the scenes and his death was used for a silly scene to generate a few chuckles from the audience.

Kylo Ren once again disappoints. He could not defeat Snoke's bodyguards despite being touted and advertised as a powerful Sith rivaling Vader himself. Vader would have mopped the floor with those guards. Kylo also failed to read Luke's astral projection while engaging it in combat. How in the bloody hell were you the top Jedi student? Who else was at that academy? Jar Jar Jr?

Rey's lineage. This one remains to be seen but the movie establishes that her parents are junkers and are of no importance. If this is true than the build up in TFA was all for nothing and this is yet again poor story telling.

Leia's Fate. The fact that she can apparently force pull herself back into the ship after being shot out into ice cold zero gravity space for more than a minute is just ridiculous. She should have either exploded into chunks during the explosion OR instantly froze into solid ice.

Vice Admiral Holdo. This awful character was pushed onto the audience in place of Leia and General Ackbar. She was insufferable and completely incompetent as a leader. Why would you lie about your strategy against the pursuing ships? You cause a mutiny out of poor leadership then they try to cram her down our throats as a brave hero who sacrifices herself to save the Resistance. Nobody cared. In fact people applauded when she died because we knew we would never have to sit through her character again.
