Rey, Luke and Kylo bring the only bareable moments in the story

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2018)

Besides the intriguing scenes with a Luke, Rey or Kylo, the movie is a long bore and a truggles everywhere.
It gives major screen time to Poe, a character that had little-if none-character development in Episode 7. Then instead of developing him into the new loveable Han, Rian turns him into an annoying and selfish control freak that nearly kills all of his friends. Also, the movie fails to develop Finn, another essential character to the new trilogy. During the last movie, fans seemed to be split over how they felt about him, which is concerning-considering the main characters should be the best part of the movie. Now, instead of Rian Johnson focusing on improving his character, he adds an even more annoying and irrelevant character: Rose. While the story tries to deal both Rose and Finn simultaneously, it fails, dragging Finn's character down as Rose seems to be a forced plot hole. In this aspect, Rian just further ruined the characters that JJ Abrams has to work with and adds even more plot holes to the storyline as a whole.
Going on about the other problems with the story would be too long(casino plot/plot holes, Holdo's forced/irrelevant character, Snoke, strange new force abilities such as ghost Yoda, Luke's death, Phasma, the Rey mirror scenese and Rey's parents). Quite simply, the movie fails everywhere, even more so in some ways than the original trilogy. Save some time and the face of the franchise by sparing yourself of this drag. The only SW movies worse are arguably Episode 1 or 2. Thank you Rian Johnson for proving your garbage directing skills and further ruining the Star Wars franchise for fans that actually care about a good storyline, likeable characters and few plot holes. Our only hope now is that JJ Abrams can fix the mess that Episode 8 has delivered.
